Good to hear your thoughts about this and I’m in agreement with most of what you have said. I really like the idea of being able to configure the max fps in various modes and I wish that was available on the R7. It would be nice to be able to tell it to just to 10fps for example and therefore you’d get a longer burst before the buffer gets full. I suspected that the R5 Mk2 would be way out of my price range and I was right 😅 It’s £4,449 here in the UK which converts to about $5,800 so once again the UK pays more. If I was still working and not retired, I would definitely get this R5 Mk2 to accompany my R7, but now I have to lower expectations and look towards the R6 Mk2. The price of the R6 Mk2 has dropped recently and there are rumours that there may be a Mk3 at the end of the year or the beginning of next year. I will wait until then and see how things develop. I look forward to watching your videos with the new camera 😊
Keep the original R5 in mind too--it's still a perfectly good camera, of course, and will be for years to come. Despite my looking forward to the advanced AF of the MkII, that doesn't mean the R5's AF stinks. And of course its image quality is still fantastic, which is the most important thing anyway!
Thanks for the video, was looking forward to it. I am surprised at the number of folks saying they were signed up for preorder and saying that they are going to cancel. Quite a few were due to the increased release price ($4299 vs $3999). I guess I just think already putting $4k out, what is another couple hundred dollars. My assumption is that it will be quite a while before the price drops at any point. I have an R5 and I am holding off mostly just due to I assume that the market might be flooded with used R5's and drive down the price. On a side note, I always hate selling used camera gear. Sometimes I even go the MPB/KEH route for a bit less just to not have to deal with folks who don't understand they are buying a used camera. How are you/did you sell your R5?
Thanks for watching! Putting the video together I was like jeez, how did I blather about all this for 20 minutes?! But I hoped someone might find it useful, anyway. Yeah, I was bummed that the price was higher than what had been rumored, like you said, in for a penny, etc. I figure I'll get some good content out of it if I get my hands on the R5II early, so that helps to justify the cost for me. :) I usually start with FB Marketplace to sell gear, if I think the profit is worth the hassle. It's a step above Craigslist, at least--when I get an inquiry I can check the person's profile to see if they're an actual human (and local--too many scams with shipping, so I insist on local cash deals). Hopefully that works out, the used gear shops will probably be flooded in short order!
I've already seen 2nd hand R6's for sale at my local camera shop . As for the R5mrk2 .... Many just wanna boast that Golf club mentality . I have 4 Canon's a 35mm vintage and 3 DSLR's a 850D,90D , 5DSR . I haven't seen any need to buy into Mirrorless mainly because of the prices . When folks on youtube blatently live a bubble ignoring the ever increasing Cost of living !! And when i take pics for a hobby i see no point goin into debt . Most of the gear i've bought is 2nd hand
No offense intended, but if you haven't tried mirrorless cameras you literally have no idea what you're missing out on. Can great photos be made with 35mm gear and dSLRs? Of course, and I did the same for years--I still have my AE-1P, Rebel G, 50D and 7D. But technology marches on, and I absolutely think mirrorless has been a game-changer in terms of usability and creativity. Maybe it's just because I suck and needed crutches all along, but I can regularly do things with my mirrorless cameras that I could never (or very rarely) accomplish with older tech. That said, I certainly understand the price concern, especially where Canon is concerned--the RF cameras are generally not cheap, nor are Canon lenses, and only now are the 3rd-party lensmakers like Sigma and Tamron coming into the picture. I do recognize that I'm lucky to be able to blow the cash on Gear Acquisition Syndrome, and many can't. So hey, here's hoping I get the R5II and am greatly disappointed!

@@wanderland_xyz Have you got the new camera yet?

Nope.
