I am standing pat with my 5DSR! Hard to believe Canon has not surpassed 50MP in eight years! Eight years!

Where is the 90MP that was rumored four or five years ago? Not that I need that much, but what the heck. At least match Sony.

I have thought about an R7, but I seem to be buying longer lenses instead!

I went to the store today and checked out the R6MKII. It's smaller than the 5Ds but it is very comfortable to hold. I'm very impressed by how quickly it focuses. Had the salesman try an EF 50/1.2 L and an adapter. I love it!

Having said the above, I am not sure if the R6MKII's IQ will be better than the 5Ds. Sure maybe from ISO 1600 and upwards. However, with my current software (i.e. DXO PL6 Elite featuring Deep Prime XD, Topaz Labs Suite and Adobe Photoshop) shooting at ISO 6400 is not an issue anymore. So basically I'll be buying the R6MKII for what it is advertised for----electronic shutter speed. That's assuming that I can get 12-20 fps with my EF lenses using ES. Mind you it will be useful for the sports that I sometimes do (i.e. indoor volleyball and outdoor tennis). Thus I'm still debating.

Just beware of rolling shutters if you are getting a new camera purely using ES tho.

Thanks I'm aware of it. I focused on the photographers who were sent to San Diego during the launch in particular the tennis shots. All of them said that the rolling shutter is well controlled. I saw the samples too. Mind you those are probably the best ones but I shoot tennis using ES too with my Sony A6600 and 135/1.8 GM and it's really not bad. Sure there are some shots with elongated racquets and egg shaped balls but there are pretty good ones as well. I haven't seen the data but I'm pretty sure the read out speed of the R6MKII is faster than the A6600.
