Hey Eli, could you test the R52’s AF system if it is indeed better at accuracy (little to no false positives) and tracking speed? Much has been made about the dedicated sports AF modes much haven’t heard much if the “regular” AF modes are leaps better or about the same since it didn’t get the R1’s cross type focus spec. Had experience with the R5 giving false positives (it shows it’s tracking but the actual image is OOF). Also could you try the new feature that reports on OOF images? Curious if it works well as a fail safe to notify the user to redo the shot. Thank you! And enjoy the new R52s!
Hmmm, my R5 boots up really fast, and I've had many thousands of images on the chip. What firmware are you on? I also preordered with my local dealer, so who knows if I'll get the first batch, but I can wait. I'm getting the cooling grip too and need 3 extra batteries.
I have the latest firmware and turned off the shutter closing option. It is still noticeably slower than the R6 II, A7 Cii, Nikon ZF, and x100IV. I leave my cameras on at work, but for personal use with my family the delay get's annoying.
This is probably my dream camera right now (along with a GFX). What are the downsides of going Canon? Are you able to say anything in terms of quality/lenses/flashes, processing files, cost and so on? I currently shoot x-series and love it but I am concerned that recent bodies cut quality and raised prices overall (I don’t see a real upgrade at the moment from my 2018 body). No problem with the lenses though!
Downside for the R5 II. Price. haha. I have used APC for fun but i wouldn't use it for work personally. I could, but it's just way easier to rely on a full frame camera to get the job done. Autofocus and image quality will always be better. When spread across 400,000 images per year, Full frame wins for me.
You’re getting the camera for wedding photography I get it but if you were taking wedding videography then you’d be wise to get two R1’s, even faster autofocus and the low light king even eliminating noise in camera
If you’re buying 3 new cameras, would you be willing to give away one of your old cameras? Long shot but I just had to sell my camera equipment cause I’m moving, expecting a baby, and times been rough. Would really help me get back on my photography journey

R5 II is a solid choice if you’re ok with 2 different card types and no third party lenses.
Stacked sensor cameras are awesome.
I have mine early. You will love it
Noice! Lucky. Can't wait!

What is OOF?

@@ThePhotographerGuy Hmmm maybe save all your settings to the memory card and do a factory reset and see if that changes anything.

R1's look fun, but they're to big for me when using multiple camera. Would love to test it though. I love the R3 other than the size.
@@ThePhotographerGuy for me it’s a perfect size, comfortable and confident grip, you can never drop it

haha! I'll talk to my CPA and see what he recommends:)
