In-body image stabilisation

Then look at CF express type A if you want to fall off your chair R6.1k for 80GB

Yeah but CF is a LOT faster and I think more robust as well. Up to GB/s speeds. I wish Canon would release CF cameras again like with the Powershot G6.

I don't think the shutter type matters in this case but I stand corrected.

The ball looks like rolling shutter but could also be too slow a shutter speed. Have to do the maths

That can be the case but it would affect the whole image then to various degrees. Rolling shutter is something that only affects portions of the image and makes it look skew rather than blurred.

That's true! We need more info around the circumstances to determine though

The whole image looks somewhat blurred to me, the ball more so which suggests a slightly faster speed is needed. But the ball also looks skewed and that's the part he has a problem with.

Agreed. A faster shutter speed might clear it all up. That said, it does look like focus was slightly off as well. With the ball being skewed, it could still 100% be shutter speed, depending on the velocity of the ball as well as the direction it was moving in frame.

We need @bwana to take a break from pumping weights with that beautiful 400mm and tell us

Out of curiosity, would you be able to share an image where the rolling shutter is a problem?

Also lens, aperture, shutter speed etc

I can't share much from the work I've done so far with the R7 but I should be able to during the course of this coming week.

Experience tells me that the shutter speeds I was shooting at (between 1/1600th and 1/2500th) were more than adequate. The blurring was almost entirely eliminated when I switched back to mechanical.

On another note the price of memory is ridiculous. V90 (260MB/s) is almost 10x the price of V30 (140M/s). With the R10 shooting RAW+JPEG gives you 4 images/s vs 6 images/s for C-RAW+JPEG. This is similar to shooting RAW with the R7. I don't know how this manifests with the leeway the buffer gives you. V90 gives you 7 vs 11 images/s.

I've been using the v60 Lexar 128GB 250MB/s SD Pro 1667x over the past week and it seems to be fast enough for my needs. I shoot raw to that and jpg to a v30.

The only problem was 128gb wasn't enough space to shoot an entire match so I had to format the card during the interval which is when I learned my card reader doesn't seem to be fast enough to fully take advantage of the card speed.

I bought another. At 1/3rd the price of the original it was a no-brainer.

I think I might need a EOS R6 in my life next and not necessarily a mkII.

How come?

 

[bwana]

How come?

I'm having metering problems with my 1Dx.

Spec wise the R6 is a good replacement plus I have a lot of travelling lined up this year so having a [smaller] body that uses the same storage and batteries would mean less accessories to carry.

 

[Swa]

The MKII might be a better option. The regular R6 might not even be available by the end of year if I look at Canon timelines.

Why not look at the R8? Imo it does not make sense to limit camera bodies based mainly on batteries.

The R6 has more of what I need in terms of body size, dual card slots, and bigger/better battery than the R8. I'm not about to discount the fact it shares the same battery with my 7D/R7 - I've got 11 of them, including three of the newer NH.

The R6 is also readily available used under R30k.

Well most of your batteries are old and useless in any case.

Yeah but in that case at least the MKII would be a better option with 60% more rated battery life. Nobody is recommending the R6 any more. I don't really get the fascination for dual card slots. Surely good quality cards don't fail that often and I'd rather have more smaller cards then. I understand the battery life issue and maybe Canon would rectify this with an R8 MKII model later this year or next year. And looky here

I know mk1 shooters who won't upgrade to the mk2 because they can't justify the expense. The mk2 is good but it's not 2x good for what I want to do with it.

Why 2x? I can get a mk1 for under R30k or a new mk2 for R60k as there aren't many/and used ones available. At the end of the day this isn't a hobby.

I don't really get the fascination for dual card slots. Surely good quality cards don't fail that often and I'd rather have more smaller cards then.

Not only do I shoot both slots for redundancy for important once off events but I regularly shoot jpg to one and raw to the other for my workflow.

Two slots should be the standard for anyone doing this for money because all cards fail eventually.

And looky here

Not sure about the R6 but the R7 allows me to recharge via a powerbank.

All the more reason to buy the A1 and be done with it

After careful consideration I'm going to have to decline.

I know it doesn't make sense when you already have an R6 but for anyone starting afresh the MKII is the way to go. I don't know where you buy your used stuff but all the R cameras I've seen still sell for 80%+ the price of new. Complaining about battery life the original R6 is rated at 360 which is rather abysmal for the battery and not much better than the R8 while the MKII is rated 580 depending on how you use it. I'm also now upgrading my list to the MKII instead of the R8 till Canon sorts out the issues with an R8 MKII possibly like they did with the R6.

Fair enough. I just never hear about anyone losing anything substantial from a failing card so even if it was available I wouldn't use it and rather invest in more or faster cards. I'd rather want a choich between SD and CF.

Not sure about the R6 but the R7 allows me to recharge via a powerbank.

I think they all do. This is built into the battery.

Perhaps just look at the specs compared

Orms but I'm looking at Cameraworld for the R6. I got my R7 for 70%.

CIPA ratings really mean little in the real world.

The N and NH allow both charging and operation via USB C.

Gear heads and pixel peepers always seem to miss the point... cameras are just a means to an end.
