Tony Northrups findings for shooting eye detect and BIF with the R5/R6 and his findings ...... a mixed bag!

  Remarkable eye detect ...... but ......

EVF lag and battery life ......

Toni is a mixed bag himself.

 
   At a time when many are going ML ..... there are some who want to know in advance whether a particular camera is going to be suitable for their needs ...... like we do here with lenses ...... the R5 costs $4,000 .... so not a financial decision to be taken lightly. 
  It's a great Swiss knife camera no doubt ..... but many want to know where it's strengths and weaknesses lie ...... with respect to their personal usage ......
.....  for BIF it has it's shortcomings ..... especially with fast flying birds, which most are ...... EVF lag ..... which ironically will make itself felt most with the new 800mm F11 telephoto ... ... where when looking through the EVF, the bird is flying into the frame ...... yet in the image the birds will be flying out of it ..... or even worse clipped .....

 .... that is worth mentioning don't you think?  .... of course if you don't shoot BIF it's neither here nor there!

Battery life will also be somewhat relevant ... whether you think that Tony is a mixed bag or not!

It is totally up to you to believe mixed bag TonY's videos or not, Dave.

But if I were Tony, I'd turn off image review first before testing the view finder freeze, it would probably help a lot.

"Rolling Shutter or lack therefore
EOS R5, RF24-105 f/4 L IS

Many of you have asked about Rolling Shutter when shooting in Electronic Shutter Mode. As you can see in the images below taken of this fast moving fan there is virtually no roll at 11/600 or 1/6400 This is great news.

And, check out how good the compressed jpegs look at the crazy high ISO's.

Additionally, I had no blackout and very little (hardly noticeable) stutter to speak of when shooting in full Electronic Shutter Mode on the same fan at 20fps.

When using Mechanical Shutter Mode I did notice a hint of blackout with very minimal Lag when tracking a moving subject. This is not shutter lag, but EVF response. Note- this did not effect my ability to stay on the subject.

I did notice a .3 stop decrease in exposure when using full Electronic Shutter at high shutter speeds.

Cheers, Chas."

That is mixed bag Tony for you, Dave....
