For this specific feature, I much prefer Sony's implementation. Their apsc sensors are also quite slow, but Sony still allows it. Having this option is certainly better than no option.

Having e-shutter that goes up to 1/16,000 rocks

i don’t think the m50II is a good solution for 1.4 primes in direct sunlight where you would need an ND filter

my RP has the problem of cut off bokeh with F1.4/1.2 primes above ss of 1/1000 starts to become noticeable

so even though there are some considerations when using m6II - I’ll take it for the positives

The reason bokeh is cut off above 1/1000 is because of EFCS, not because of electronic shutter, isn't it?

yes, it is ridiculous Canon designed the RP this way

Makes more sense than the M6II without EFCS.

Cut off bokeh is only an issue with expensive large aperture primes, not with the RF 35&85mm IS stm lenses, only at faster shutter speeds. The RF f/1.2 primes are the only lenses being able to create cut off bokeh.

You can even work around it with ND-filters.

that said - I knew this going in and bought my RP mainly for the RF 24-105 F4L which issues are not seen since shutter speeds are slower

you could see some bokeh issues with f1.2/f1.4 lenses used wide open outdoors at high ss but I'm not buying those expensive puppies for the RP

Not a whole lot of customers would want to do that I guess.

Canon knows how to dumb down

Yeah, but the most important spec of the RP is price, and another one is size, so it's kind of justified in my opinion. To my eye no EFCS on the M6II is a bigger problem.

Will they ever launch the camera I want - an m5II with IBIS and EFCS - probably not

Not going to happen. It's R5 or only 20Mp or slow AF and no IBIS, or fast AF no IBIS no EFCS or no IBIS no full mechanical. Pick your poison.
