One serious comment is the transfer speed from the Ethernet port. At 2.5GB, assuming that you have a network that supports it, would be that max your will will get about 280MB speed. but I have CFS card readers that will hit 700-800MB. so about triple the speed. I'm not sure thats worth it. The cooling is cool. pun intended.
I have a 10gb ethernet switch to my pc and my mesh has a 2.5gb plus the mesh is on wifi 6e. I prefer transfer directly through my cfexpress b as well, but if you are a studio photographer and want to show instant results it's more secure to be tethered through ethernet than wifi. And yes...the fan is cool ;)
I have the r6II and I’ve had issues with overheating when shooting 4k60. Makes me wish Canon would come out with an r6C. Maybe when they bring out the r6III they’ll also bring out an r6C with a built in fan.
Without the cooling grip I ran it for about 2hr in normal indoor temp and it didn't shutdown or overheat. I didn't have the patience to do it forever. With cooling grip it will not overheat at all.
Unfortunately not. Once you open the battery door it turns off or ends recording. If you are recording a long event for a couple hours you will be fine. If it’s an all day event then I would suggest a vmount battery via usb-c as well.
You can review the new Canon 28-70mm F2.8 IS STM with R8 which will help many budget photographers.
You and me both. It would be nice if they can do it with a firmware update.

Great combo!
i wish you could change the batteries without the camera shutting off using the new grip
Me too. Hopefully a fix that can be done in a firmware update.
i would like to see a vid on the how to use the ethernet port
Not a bad idea. Thank you for the suggestion.
Do you have issues with overheating in video or do you not shoot high frame rates long?

@@drummerg3331you can probably buy a third party fan for it. since they were made for the R5 "classic"
@@drummerg3331does it overheat for 4k 24?
@@kifley19 no, it won’t overheat in 4k24 or 30. The 4k60 lasts about 30-40 minutes depending on the temperature.

can you hot swap the batteries?
Unfortunately not. Once you open the battery door it turns off or ends recording. If you are recording a long event for a couple hours you will be fine. If it’s an all day event then I would suggest a vmount battery via usb-c as well.
can't you leave it on Low during recording and High during standby to avoid any overhearing at all?
Yes you can. There is a setting for that. You just can’t change fan speeds during recording.
Twist it? but do you have to bop it?
I don't recall all the words that come out of my mouth. LOL. Where did I say that and what was the context?
Canon should do PoE instead of 2.5Gbps Ethernet. one cable up rule them all 🙃😉
@@mostlymessingabout that would be a great idea. All day studio cam non-stop shooting.
Do not rely on hope.
Contact Canon and make change recommendations.
It makes the camera unportable. 🙅♀️ #toobig #inconvenient
No worse than an R3 with an integrated grip. Yes it is portable, but definitely more noticeable.
It’s one of those things than you only need to use it when you need to use it. It’s best to have the option than not.
Agree! It’s like a lens. You may not use it all the time but when the right job warrants it you will be glad you have it.
