I use gigabyte curved gaming monitor for editing, it has about 400 nits max brightness, and it's pretty color accurate.

Looking at this so-called upgrade and comparing it to say the Nikon Z8, I have to ask what was Canon thinking? If you have time go look up the camera specs comparison chart on the PhotographyLife website between the R5 II and the Z8. Even if the AF on the new R5 is vastly superior, it does not repeat it does not justify the $4300 price tag!! From a pure economics perspective I would go with the Z8 and the 24-120 lens kit when it's marked down $700 again later this year which will equal the same price you will get for just the R5 II body alone. Or if you're a Canon user who still using one of Canon's DSLR bodies I would simply wait for the original R5 to be marked down even further. You'll hardly notice the difference.

Perhaps Canon did not fail, but we have failed with our expectations. All technological areas tend to mature.over time. Film cameras maxed out in the mid-1990s with the Canon EOS-1N and Nikon F5. DSLRs reached their plateau with the Nikon D850, even though they released the D6 and D780 after that. Mirrorless incorporated video technology, creating the hybrid cameras. In many ways, this is close to maxed out too. For most photographers, it's time to have the camera we'll use for the second half of the decade and stop expecting anything significantly new to improve our photography. A few edge case applications may benefit from new technology, but those are the exceptions.

@@adamhoskins8375 For a lot of consumers, it seems like it will be closer to 7-10 years. With the Canon 5D series, for example, a lot of people skipped alternate releases, so the were looking at options about 8 years apart. The release cycle for some mirrorless cameras was compressed in the previous decade or two, and that is now slowing down. Even Sony, which had so many similar releases in the mid-2010s has slowed down, now branching out to other product lines like the FX-3/30 and ZV-E1/E10. In a way, the exception proves the rule: Panasonic GH5 [3/17], GH6 [2/22], GH7 [7/24], where the GH7 was released to introduce PDAF, after Panasonic had stubbornly stuck with contrast-detection AF. Each new camera seems to offer one or two ground-breaking features. Many "camera buffs" seem to expect that their path is where the ground is breaking, but they might be on fairly stable ground.

With my daughter now running around and playing with the dog I finally gave in and switched to the canon r6_2. Now I enjoy carrying my camera with my when my daughter is playing. The sensor although it isn't stacked is fast enough to use the electronic shutter most of the time, eye tracking is working as it was advertised.

The two benefits I could see with the R5 II over the Z8 is its smaller size, full pre-capture mode, and improved AF. The question I have is are those features worth spending an extra $800 for. Canon makes some great lenses, but where they fail compared to both Sony and Nikon is coming up with some decent mid-range telephoto lenses. Does Canon having anything in its lineup that competes with both the 600 f/6.3 and 800 f/6.3 PF Nikkor lenses? The 35, 50 and 85 f/1.8 prime lenses are fantastic and AFFORDABLE!!!
