According to the latest rumors coming out from the rumor mill, the Canon R5 Mark II camera is delayed and will not arrive in 2023. According to a Canon rumor source, Canon is planning for a massive firmware upgrade of Canon EOS R5 and in the firmware update we will see
Canon R5 Upcoming Firmware update
Lens breathing correction
Pre-shooting buffer
Removal of 30 minutes record limit
Vehicle tracking AF mode (bikes, trains & planes)
Additional tracking for more animals
And now the source of the rumor mill suggests since we are getting such a massive update in the Canon EOS R5, the Canon EOS R5 Mark II may get delayed till 2024 and is expected to arrive alongside the Canon EOS R1 camera in 2024.
This is the set of info we are getting from the rumor mill, but the story continues and we will try to find out the sources
Let’s dig up the source of the rumor
The Canon R5 Mark II camera is being delayed first told by Jan Wegener, according to his trusted sources and industry people he knows said that no Canon R5 mark II from Canon is coming in 2023, instead of that Canon will be focusing on realizing Telephoto zoom lenses for RF Mount. This makes more sense since nowadays bird/wildlife photographers are more preferring Sony system cameras and lenses instead of Canons due to their limited tele-zoom offerings.
But, why he is more reliable than CanonRumor itself, take a look at this video below
Blast from the past: Jan Wegener Canon R6 Mark II Spot on Prediction
We will post an update soon as we get any new set of information
TNC Take, Actually, I was expecting Canon R5 Mark II camera official announcement in Nov 2023 and before that, we were expecting its development announcement Aug-Sep 2023. But, it looks like we will have only have Nikon Z8 this year and Canon is out of the High MP Mirrorless race (at least for 2023)
The big question is when Canon will open its RF Mount like Sony, Nikon, and Fuji. Many people are still waiting OR many of them buy different cameras since RF Mount has few lenses.
Phototrend website asked the same question, Canon said
It is true that we are approached by many third-party manufacturers. We hear their demands. However, we have no direction or policy as such on this subject.
Naturally, I cannot share more details with you, but what I can say is that if this aligns with our strategy, we will take the necessary action on a case-by-case basis. I can’t tell you more.
But, the good news is Canon allowed the first third-party lens maker to have contact with its RF Lens mount. Cosina the Voigtlander 50mm f/1 is the first “third-party” lens to be able to communicate with the body via the RF mount.
However, there is no clarity. Canon still wants to keep everything under the curtains and as they said “we have no direction or policy as such on this subject” which also indicates a lack of transparency and no clear set of rules for third-party lens makers.
For, sure if we consider all the facts here NO third-party AF lenses for RF Mount coming anytime soon, do share your opinion about this.
Finally, we have the PDR Fuji X-T5, thanks to Photons to Photos for uploading the test results so fast. So, now we have a Fuji Camera Under $2000 which features a 40MP X-Trans sensor.
Now, let’s talk about what is PDR for beginners, Photographic Dynamic Range is a measure of a camera’s sensor’s ability to capture and reproduce (in short resolve) the full range of tones in a scene, from the brightest highlights to the darkest shadows.
So, I think the PDR chart is a valuable tool for photographers seeking to compare the dynamic range of different cameras and can assist in determining which camera is best suited for their specific needs.
Specifically when ur shooting in an uncontrolled light environment, Like a Landscape, architecture, or even a portrait in uncontrolled light, if the camera has a better PDR range you can recover details from shadows in a better way.
If you are confused between the Canon R8 and Fuji X-T5 image quality, this post will clear 50% of your confusion. Since being a Fullframe camera Canon R8 is more affordable and features a full-frame sensor (although IBIS is missing), but this post we are limited to Dynamic Range TEST only.
1. Canon Beat Fuji in Dynamic Range Test – (Under $2000 Camera Range)
I am comparing here the Canon R8 camera Sensor PDR with the Fuji X-T5 (We will use the Canon R6 Mark II PDR range since the Image sensor and image processor of both the camera exactly the same), yes we do have many other aspects of comparison and in those, we may see Canon R8 fail miserably. But, when we are comparing the test results of the Canon R8 aka R6 mark II camera sensor with the Fuji X-T5 we are surprised that how well a Canon FSI technology based 24.2 MP Sensor is performing in comparison to Fuji’s latest 40MP X-Trans BSI CMOS APS-C. Although we do have a massive resolution difference between the two as well as a size difference.
Canon 24.2 MP Fullframe sensor features an 11.52 PDR range vs Fuji 40Mp Sensor remains limited to 10.43 PDR. So, its a very clear that if you need better dynamic range Canon R8 is better
2. High ISO Test (Canon 24MP vs Fujis 40 MP)
We have conducted a High ISO test between, Canon R6 Mark II and Fuji X-H2 Camera. Since as you know the Canon R8 uses R6 Mark II and the Fuji X-H2 camera uses a Fujis X-H2 40MP X-Trans BSI CMOS sensor, let’s us see which one preserves more details.
AT ISO 512000 its clearly visible that the Canon R6 Mark II sensor preserves more details compared to Fujis source dpreview.com/reviews/image-comparison
From both PDR (Dynamic range test) as well as HIGH ISO test, it’s very clear that the Canon 24MP Full frame sensor is performing well compared to the Fujis 40MP sensor.
Finally, let’s compare the base ISO, and the details capturing ability of both cameras. And in this test, we are sure that Canon will fail miserably.
3. Base ISO Test
As you can clearly see the details capturing ability of the Fuji’s 40MP, so if you are working in a controlled light environment then the best sensor to work with is Fujix 40 X-Trans sensor presented in the Fujix X-H2 and the Fuji X-T5 Camera.
Yes, the Canon R50 camera doesn’t have a fully mechanical shutter inside the camera, instead of that we have HYBRID and ELECTRONIC. Shutter
Just after the announcement of the Canon R50 camera, I am getting lots of msgs from my users about why we have only two options on the shutter menu of the camera that say
Elec. first curtain shutter
Electronic only
But, when you go the burst mode, you have two options: the first is a 12FPS mechanical, and the second is a 15fps electrical shutter.
Ideal Condition to remove Mechanical shutter from your camera
Condition 1: If the camera sensor has a GLOBAL SHUTTER without any lag, yes the camera doesn’t need any mechanical shutter.
Condition 2: When a Camera Maker is using a STACKED CMOS Sensor inside the camera as we have in Nikon Z9, Sony ALPHA A1, or Canon R3, OR EVEN a re-worked FSI (Front Side illuminated Sensor) like we have in Canon R6 Mark II and Canon R8.
Now, these are the ideal condition to remove MECHANICAL SHUTTER completely from your camera.
THE BIG BUT
If your camera uses a slow traditional FSI (Front Side illuminated Sensor) and even knowing those stuff you completely attempt to remove the Fully Mechanical Shutter system from your camera it’s not recommended.
Since Both the EFCS Shutter and the Fully Electronic Shutter have some limitations. Specifically when paired with slow-readout-based sensors.
BASIC RULES TO FOLLOW as a PHOTOGRAPHER
1. If the shutter speed drops below 1/100 turn EFCS ON to prevent the front mechanical curtain from affecting your sharpness.
2. If the shutter speed goes above 1/1000 and you shoot a shallow depth of field turn EFCS OFF. The reason is that EFCS affects badly defocus characteristics of lenses when going above 1/1000
If your shutter speed is in between 1/100 and 1/1000 it is your call what to use. In general, when you do not shoot shallow depth-of-field portraits EFCs turned on is a good thing. When you put on the 135/1.8 or the Batis lens or even the 55/1.8 EFCS MUST go if you want nice bokeh

If the decision to remove the mechanical shutter from Canon R50 is correct?
Let’s talk about the body design of both the camera the Canon R50 camera is more photographer friendly with the EVF and the deep hand grip that is missing in the Sony ZV-E10 camera
As you can clearly see Canon R50 and Sony ZV-E10 have different design approaches, Canon R50 has a more traditional, like a DSLR camera with a deep handgrip and also EVF for daylight shooting, while the Sony ZV-E10 may have a more modern, bit more compactish design that looks more vlogger friendly. Ultimately, the best camera for you will depend on your specific needs, shooting style, and set of available lenses (Open lens mount or close etc )
If you are a photographer and looking for a camera that has a more photographer-friendly design, it’s better to look up the Nikon z50 or maybe the Sony A6400.
But we have to also remember that the Canon RF mount supports a limited amount of lenses since it’s a closed mount and in Sony, we have an amazing range of lenses starting from the affordable to the g master series and the Sony lens amount of Sony is open from 2011. so literally, you have to be very conscious before making your decision

AutoFocus Performancee
As you can see the number of AF points in Canon R50 is 4503 DPAF points for stills and 3713 DPAF points for Video. And when we compare it with the Sony’s ZV-E10 425 Hybrid AF points the comparison look meaningful less for a moment, but its not about how many numbers of AF points a camera has or fabricated inside it, the key factor of todays Mirrorless AF system in the Artificial Intelligent Algorithms inside the camera, and that’s the biggest reason why despite of having less number of AF points the AF performance of The Sony ZV-E10 is flawless.

Canon R10 – Fastest Shooting Entry-level camera
For the first time Canon has introduced an electronic shutter inside an Entry level body, now with the help of an electronic setter we are able Burst upto 15FPSbut, but sadly the buffer is limited to 30 Frames of JPEG, so you can hardly have two second buffer slot with the Canon R50 Camera.
Sony ZV-E10 camera has a limited Brust speed of 11 frames per second, but at the same time the buffer memory of Sony’s ZV-E10 camera is much more than that of the Canon R50, with the ZV-E10 camera you are able to record 116 frames of JPEG in a single Brust and 46 frames of RAW0
Since Canon R50 camera uses a Canon R10 camera sensor and the samples of Canon R5 isn’t available right now, that’s why we are keeping the R10 image samples in our comparison list, so you can have an idea how will R50 will perform against the Sony ZV-E10
BASE ISO TEST
In the base are you so test you can clearly see both cameras are performing equally well, the detail capturing ability of both the camera is good at the base ISO range.
HIGH ISO TEST
Now let’s talk about the HIGH ISO TEST of both the camera, As now you can see the Sony ZV-E10 camera is able to preserve slightly more details in some specific situations compared to the Canon R50 Mirrorless camera, so for low light purposes of course Nikon ZV-E10 is bit more helpful.

Best Entry-Level Camera to Record Videos?
Both cameras share exactly the same video Resolution and frame rates, Canon R50 camera as well as the Sony’s ZV-E10 camera records 4K videos up to 30 FPS and full HD videos up to 120 per second. So, for the first time, we have a Canon entry-level model that doesn’t crop in 4K. Undoubtedly it will bring smiles in face of Canon users, those who are waiting to upgrade their cameras from Canon M50 Mark ii or Canon 200D Mark II / SL3 . But, at the same time in 3rd generation of making APS-C Mirrorless cameras, the ZV-E10 is more video oriented and focuses on content creator requirements.
None of the cameras have any time recording limit in 4K 24 and 30 FPS recording video, but yes you have to carry extra battery packs says the batteries dry out quickly with these entry-level cameras when you are recording 4K.
Canon features DIGITAL Image stabilization mode in VIDEO, which we see generally in entry-level cameras, the mode works but with a cost of crop and it becomes unbearable and painful to your hands when you try to vlog with the Canon 18-45 kit lens, the 18mm wide generates a 24mm equivalent focal length of a full-frame camera and after that, once you apply Digital IS Mode, you hardly adjust yourself in the frame. So, if you want to vlog with an R50 camera, better to buy the Canon’s 15-30mm Lens OR at least an RF 16mm F2.8 Lens. But, unfortunately, the RF 16mm lens doesn’t have OIS Support. To better get the 15-30mm lens for vlogging if possible. As you know, we don’t have many options with Canon since the lens mount is locked and we have to select from a limited range of lenses.
But, the biggest surprise is we have a gyro image stabilization system inside the Sony ZV-E10 which works very effectively when you are shooting videos with the camera. Although using Gyro-based data is not that easy, either you have to use the catalyst browse software to stabilize your footage prior to editing, or Sony now also offers Catalyst plugin for premier pro software.
The range of available lenses is much more than you would expect, The Best Sony ZV-E10 Lens for Vlogging in 2023 is Sony 11mm F1.8 Lens, The lens captures a super wide 16mm full-frame equivalent look and a BRIGHT F1.8 aperture perfect for vlogging.
The Sony ZV-E10 also features a 3-capsule-based enhanced internal microphone design that captures audio much better than you would expect from a regular entry-level camera, as well as to monitor that audio you also get an extra 3.5mm headphone port. Which is not available with the Canon R50.
Of course, a Range of dedicated modes is also there which includes face exposure priority, product showcase, and skin softening mode for vloggers.

Best Camera for shooting Still Images and video?
Canon R50 overall design is more appealing to photographers since the camera also features EVF and a better handgrip, we also have an advanced AF system with AI AF object tracking mode and faster burst speed it looks ver impressive. But, at the same time you can see from the results of the High ISO Test, the Sony ZV-E10 sensor is preserving more details, if u want a more video-oriented camera with features like an advance microphone, dual 3.5mm jack, gyro-based IS, and product showcase mode, ZV-E10 best for you.
The Next BIG thing is Canon’s Locked lens mount. So, the range of lenses for an entry-level shooter is less (if you have a limited-budget lens ).
So, overall it depends upon who is buying the camera if he/she is a casual shooter. Not interested in having extra lenses and love the R50 design, then yes for you guys the R50 is best. But for those who are more serious with photography or video at the same time they have a limited budget, better to buy a Sony ZV-E10 camera (or A6400 is you are a photographer).
Design-wise the new Canon R50 camera looks more similar to the Canon 200D Mark II instead of the Canon M50 II. Canon R50 camera features advanced AI AF mode same as we have seen in the Canon R3 camera, at the same time we do not have any 4k 30p crop, the Canon R50 uses its full sensor to create oversampled 4k 30p files. The camera can also shoot bursts up to 15fps with full-time AF/AE support. The Camera is powered by Canon’s latest powerful DIGIC X image processor, the camera features 4503 DPAF points for stills and 3713 DPAF points for Video. Canon R50 supports an AF sensitivity range of EV -4.0 to 20. The Canon R50 has an ISO range of 100-32000 (standard ISO Range) expandable upto to ISO 51200.
It will go on sale for around $679.99, body-only. A kit with the retractable RF-S 18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM will sell for around $799.99, and a two-lens kit that adds a new 55-210mm F5.0-7.1 takes the recommended price up to $1029.99.
Finally, we have the full specification of the upcoming Canon R50 and Canon R8 cameras. Both of the specs look very promising at their price range have a look at the detailed set of specifications of both
