Another thing I love about Canon is their firmware update strategy. The fact that they give you new features, codecs, and fixes frequently gives you calm in knowing they’ll usually fix some of the nagging issues and add functionality. I knew they’d fix the r5 overheating and I think they’ll fix the R5C’s battery life.. they added raw and eye AF to the c70, and more. I really think it shows Canon has enough under the hood to handle additional features whereas Sony will sell it to u in a new body....
I am not so convinced Canon still will update the R5 :-(.
I suspect the same, a firmware update that would add new features would likely decrease demand for the R6II in the short term and dampen the demand for a new 45-or-more-MP body in the medium term.
I don't think R5 owners are the main target for an R5II, but releasing a big firmware update 3-6 months before announcing the successor would make a lot more people hold on to their R5 and make pre-owned R5 bodies even more attractive to people wanting to move up.
I sure wish for more firmware updates, though!
Fair enough, but they updated the camera 2 years after release and fixed the worst problem with it: overheating… so never say never. I think they allowed the r6ii out to get in line with the MP of the a7IV, the main competitor & hot seller for the r6 series.. the nezt r5 is prob gunning at the a7rV.. and if you consider that, Canon will have a 20mp, 24mp, 45mp, and 60+ mp to offer.. so the r5 would still be a viable body to use and upgrade to compared to the (prob) more expensive r5mkii.
