>>4363526Nice shot.
>Yeah aren't their current offerings just old models with the multifunction pins slapped on? Pretty sure I haven't seen a *new* canon flash appear in years.I believe the EL-5 is actually a new design. The claimed reason for the new shoe was video, i.e. stuff like digital mics. You're probably right that it was a boomer move to sell flashes which is retarded. I like Canon, but they are not perfect by any means (no company is) and this shoe shit has put them in a bind with their manufacturing problems.
>R6 MkI right? Was heavily considering one for a while there. Seems the consensus is the MkII is basically the king of mirrorless atm.Yep, the MkI. The MkII definitely has improvements and tempted me. It has much better 4k thermal management and faster readout for 4k24 and 4k30 (it's actually the same for 4k60), plus AF tweaks and higher fps. It's arguably the best mid tier FF mirrorless right now, though if you want resolution the A7IV does give you some more. And in fairness to Panasonic it has a few more video features.
But the original is just a bit cleaner at extreme ISOs (51k and 102k). My main reason for adding it was night 4k24. This is just a screenshot of a test video made while visiting a friend, so it's nothing special other than being made under moonlight. I wanted a camera I could potentially record night hikes and mtb rides with when the moon is out. I can tolerate some noise for the ability to shoot at night, but you're obviously pushing the limits so I went ahead and got the MkI.
In fairness to the R6ii, R8, Z6 series, A7sIII, and S5...they're damn close on extreme ISO performance. We're talking maybe 0.5-0.66ev.
