Re: Kinda feeling like r5 mark ii won't get 4k 60p oversampled mode. Anyone ...
The Canon R5's fabulous oversampled 4K 60p crop format and its absence from the R5II is the single greatest reason why I will never upgrade my R5 to the R5II.
I have been an active R5 wildlife video shooter for 3 years now (pretty much daily). For 80-90% of my time I shoot 4K wildlife videos and the rest of the time I shoot stills. For the stuff I do I need sharp, clear clean 4K video footage and the Canon R5 gives me that every time with the 4K Fine and oversampled 4K 60p crop modes. If fact, IQ-wise you really can't tell the difference between these two.
However, the terrific advantage of the oversampled 4K 60p crop mode is that you get an additional 1.6 crop factor giving you high quality footage for objects that are quite far away. There are times when I shoot video with the R5 with the RF200-800 plus the RF1.4x extender in 4K 60p crop mode and the results on a 4K monitor look great!
No way for an R5II for this video shooter.
My 2 cents,
