Thanks for the inputs, I have been waiting to replace my ageing 5Dc to R6. I hope it works with my 500mm f4L 1 with 1.4x tc iii.

It will work. R5 with the 100-400 II. No TC but that won't matter much.

TC?

What about it?

TC = teleconverter

I know what TC is. Your post just says - TC? What is the question?

I was responding to WarriorPoet's post. I interpreted the "TC?" post as asking what TC means.

I see.

I just read a good comparison between the R5 and R6 (better late than never) at DPreview.

I am mostly interested in Animal AF and they both have it. Then second is the megapixel count. I often do a lot of cropping not being able to fill the frame where I shoot from and the 45 mp would allow more cropability but I also often shoot when it is getting dark out and the R6 might be better in the low light situations. I don't care about 8K video...

I can foresee sleepless nights ahead for the next 6 months to a year...

I am very confident that the two cameras are nearly identical in ISO and DR. I am sure too that if you resample the R5 down to 20Mpx of the R6, it will be nearly impossible to tell what is what.

The R6 is just a lower optioned and cheaper constructed R5 to appeal to folks budgets so that there is a great camera at two price points to garner more market share.

Ty sir.

This looks promising for animal eye tracking!

Instead of trying to find videos I decided to search the net. This again is just speculation as there are no numbers yet. We know that the R5 has a new sensor design.

It combines a high-speed sensor readout with the much faster DIGIC X image processing chip, allowing for more accuracy and faster continuous shooting speeds.

Then again I watched a little of the post July 9 presentation interview with Canon reps and they said there would be some rolling shutter.

Here as well. Define high speed. How long is a piece of string? We can only hope.

It was being compared to the R, which “should “ have very poor rolling shutter.

Based on the R video capabilities, should be in the 1/15 range. 1/30, I’ll pass, 1/60, I can live with, 1/120 or faster, I’ll be happy. I won’t rest till I find a camera with fast readout for stills and video and the closest I have is a 1” sensor camera lol. There’s a lot of freedom/simplicity shooting E-Shutter all the time. Noise, vibrations, wear and tear, a thing of the past*** mostly.

And another. This is mainly video tracking but some stills tracking too. Both look pretty impressive.

I don't understand why you want such pro video specs from a stills camera. If you're serious about video, get a video camera.
