Re: M6 mk ii vs. R7 for the video

I was looking forward to the R10 but once the specs were released I decided to wait however many years it will take for Canon to stop crippling its cameras' video specs. The M6ii has 120fps but sound is disabled and autofocus is disabled. After several years waiting for this R10, which seems to be the only successor to the M6ii to come out (the R7 is much more expensive so I don't see it as an M6ii replacement), there's still no improvement in the 120fps area. Sound is still disabled and from the looks of the clips on Youtube it seems that autofocus is still disabled too. It still only provides an in-camera render at 30fps - there's no access to the original 120fps recording. This is disappointing when I have 4 other cameras that record in 120fps and let me have all those frames to work with. And one of those cameras is 7 years old.

Then there's 4K60 - yes it's nice that they finally put it in there after only having 4K30 in the M6ii, but it's cropped massively. It's nice that it's an honest 4K this time instead of the lie that was the 4K on the M6ii, but that crop at 60fps is giant and a deal breaker for me.
