This is not just for JohnDizzo. Your comprehensive list is what we discuss.
Ok, so this is a gear forum, Canon at that. But the facts? Yes, of course the list is correct, the fact. But how often do those differences in hardware show up in the final image? How large would you have to print (if print is the end product, for me it is not), how close do you have to stand, how good has the monitor have to be, how deep do you have to peep, to even notice any difference? Unless comparing side by side, could anyone even tell?
12 vs 14 bit, I in reality there is not much difference there. There is some, but the importance is mostly if not always minute and/or unimportant. CRAW vs RAW? About equally minute. Resolution is far more important IMHO, yes, humble opinion because of YMMV.
Comparing a low used price to the full price of a new product is just too much sugar coating for my taste. Come on. Most of us have been early adopters at some point. There is a punishment and a joy in it and economically always foolish (unless the new gadget brings something revolutionary to Your bread-getting toolbox).
Yes, the R52 is a powerhouse! I got mine just as my season ended (unexplicably low price from main distributor), so I´ve not had that many good field-days. The AF is a real step up for sure, which is my main reason to get one. But, and this is important to me: I get very good results with the R10 and the RF 100-400 too. I just have to do my part better, get closer, better light, you know. And in the context of this thread: In the heat of the moment, e.g. BIF, I do not notice the rather huge difference in the VF. It may hamper me. But I do not notice it unless I shoot the R52 and R10 or for that matter my R5 in parallell, then the difference is huge.
Final point being that those listed benefits of the R52 over the R63 are mainly, mostly barely, visible in a side by side comparison. If you have "just" the R63, or R62 for that matter, I suspect most would be equally satisfied with the end result. And you still have to do your part, the craft....Show more →
That's the beauty of hashing these conversations out. By in large, you and I are in agreement.
Personally, I generally agree with you on 12 vs 14 bit, as for 90% of users, they'll never see the difference. For those of us that push files pretty hard in post at times, it will absolutely make a difference (just like the resolution difference). That being said, the difference exists and it is an exclusion from the new shiny body.
With regard to price comparisons, I compare what is reality at the time of comparison. The reality is, the R5ii has been out for a good while and can be had at a significant discount. The R6iii, by no fault of its own, is going to be retail for a bit. These are just the facts of the market. Accordingly, I accept that this conversation regarding price will be different 6 months from now.
Regarding your point on the EVF, I also agree that for most users, it won't make much of a tangible difference. But as stated in my previous post, that misses the point. The fact of the matter is, the R6iii is sharing specs with its two previous iterations and is being sold as the new shiny body for $2799.
With regard to your comment on AF, I also agree as it is a huge factor for me. The R5ii absolutely has hardware that creates a huge disparity for the R6iii which isn't something to be ignored.
I also agree, the end result is what matters. But if that were what we were discussing here, then the conversation would be very different. This is a discussion regarding the bleeding edge tech that Canon has to offer. As such, the facts of the hardware differences absolutely matter. Furthermore, all of us could be doing just fine with the camera we had 10 years ago. But again, missing the point.
The R6iii will be an amazing camera for anyone aspiring to get one. That doesn't make it comparable to the R5ii with regard to the things I've stated previously though. It is not on par with regard to AF performance, speed, ES, raw file data, etc.
