FHDcrew Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Seems to offer some useful new features. 6k RAW over HDMI DPAF II (this is killer) Movie pre-record FHD at 180fps with full AF False Color Support (yay) Focus-breathing compensation Overheating much improved for 4k 60p, eliminates for 4k30p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FHDcrew Posted November 2, 2022 Author Share Posted November 2, 2022 Looks like there is a variable 10x FHD zoom function…which leads me to believe the FHD 24p image is oversampled. If so that’s huge. Simon Young and hyalinejim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfoundmass Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Seems to be essentially what the R6 should've been from the start. Kudos to Canon for keeping the price the same, I guess. ade towell, Kisaha, IronFilm and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kye Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Remember kids... when venturing into new camera territory always wear your protective equipment - you never know what dangers lurk in the dark... Has anyone seen a glimpse of the dreaded hammer? IronFilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfoundmass Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 One thing Canon does that irks me is how they remove important information once you hit record. What logical reason could there be for this? Surely it's not putting much strain on the processor to keep up the histogram while recording, right?!

Avenger 2.0 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Nice upgrade if you do hybrid work. Hopefully some of the new video features come to the R7 with a firmware update or maybe Canon just releases the R7II next year 🤑 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 As an R6 user, I can tell you this is going to be Canons best selling camera (which R6 already is). It finally eliminates recording time limits and overheating at 4K30p. That alone is major. Adding false color, specific easy video menu, focus breathing comp and other video centric tools is fantastic. DPAF 2 is indeed killer. The faster read out times surely means lower rolling shutter. Really seems like the perfect mid-tier mirrorless. I don't see any cripple hammer, aside from no ALL-I codec so you'll need an M1 Mac to edit the 10-bit Log footage. Aside from that detail this is an A7IV killer. Needless to say my R6 is going up for sale today. Here is a pretty good rundown of the camera: solovetski, kaylee, kye and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade towell Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Yes it seems to have sorted the 2 main issues I had with the camera - overheating in 4k 25p which would always happen after about 40 minutes whatever the weather, and the stupid 30 minute recording limit. RS should indeed be better, the only other weakness I felt was the dynamic range but that seems to be all across the Canon mirrorless range so not expecting any improvement there. The R6ii looks like a good solid camera that can hopefully be relied on to do a days work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Young Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 If it truly is downsampling 6K to 1080p and shoots 10bit 4K 24/25p without overheating it’s an instabuy. Everything is forgiven except their vile decision to not support third party lens makers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomastancredi Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 will it have the option of 1080p 10 bit 422 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisaha Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I was expecting this camera later in spring time, I just got recently the R7 and lenses..I will probably stick to the plan and save money for spring, I mostly have sound and A.D jobs anyway.. herein2020 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the usual cripple like custom WB picture, disappearing histogram (after recording), etc are still there.

zerocool22 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Sounds they fixed most of the bugs of the R5 and the R6, I hope they fixed the IBIS as well. The ibis on the panasonic camera's was way ahead. If its the same now, I might get one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plucas Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Did they remove the yellow-cast for the mark 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntblowz Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 If I m shopping for new cam or upgrading from R the R6II and R7 will be a really nice comob... for nearly same price as a single R5. The pre-buffer 3-5s for videos is really handy for wild life video and event work, there are some instances that I wish I press record sooner. kye and Kisaha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just a firmware update away..but it seems that the decision is not made. It would be a good buy if is less than the 2.799-2.899euros of the Sony A7iv here(which I doubt). The R6 in Greece is 2.689, is the mkII keeping the same(/similar) pricing? The sensor is a "simple" FSI, not stacked, not BSI, and 24mgpxls better than the previously 20 (I do crop a bit, sometimes, depends!), but when Sony offers 33mgpxls a number closer to 28 would be better (and more practical). All in all is a much more "rounded" proposal that the previous one, but not as groundbreaking we all wished for.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 People always want more but sometimes a refinement job is sufficient. We do get a new sensor with better rolling shutter performance and that allows 6K oversampling. New DPAF2 system. Detect only from C70. No overheating or record limits. False color. ProRes RAW via HDMI. Smart hotshoe for XLR. Breathing compensation. 10x zoom FHD. New video menu. Stills/video switch etc. All this for yes the same price as the R6. and people are still complaining. A7IV has overheating issues, severe rolling shutter, a big 4K60p crop.. lower resolution lcd, lower burst rate.. I mean what good is a BSI sensor when it has such limitations? You need to look at the bigger picture pun intended 😉 kye and Kisaha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be perfect with the R6mkII and the R7 (plus the Pocket 4K for now). It is just this notion that there are things left unchecked..once more.
