EOS: R5mk2 - any thoughts

R5C perhaps? You'll need a handful of the newest LP-E6 batteries, but it still ticks a lot of boxes.

It's not soft in regular mode. You can slap an XLR box on it still and it has an EVF.

Not as modern as the newest options, but still a killer option, IMO.

Yes evf and xlr box and no overheat are a draw. There are so many cameras that I forget why I reject them! was it..?
R5c..
Shaky footage no ibis?
1985 autofocus tech?

On the batteries Im actually farily sorted with my dummy solution on my R6 - Im happy to dummy bodies of that shape.


This (paionfull incompetent) vid (an my own experience) leads my to 'reject' the C70 for 1985 auto focus do I unfairly tar the R5c.

The Zeiss Otus is a manual-only focus prime. That's why I mentioned it. I don't recall the Nikon Z lenses behaving in the way you described but I honestly don't recall if I ever tried. I have a few of them, tack sharp but one of the reasons for getting them was to have a mirrorless camera with excellent AUTO focus, which was a failure point on my Panasonic mirrorless cameras.

Yes nikon AF seems to be good and AF is the real nead. I just switched to manual for my sticks testing and noticed that the maual ring was similar to my cannon nifty fifty.. unusable (which is different from my stigma and canon zooms which are 'ok' -3/10 in manual mode)
