R6 mk2 train and airplane vehicle detection to R5?

[drewnailz]

Hello. I'm wondering if the updated vehicle tracking in the R6 mk2 will eventually make its way to the R5 via firmware. Does anyone have any indications or opinions based on the past? Crossing my fingers.

Hello again...I started a Flickr account and uploaded a bunch there.  Gonna go find you now. 🐵

Greetings, I corresponded with drew yesterday ( I'm living Latvia.) you can see it in my post. As you said, he has great photos. I started following on social media accounts. By the way, I found your facebook account. There are 3 F/A18 photos about 1 hour ago. I guess this is you. I sent you a friend request. I am interested in aviation and if I have the opportunity, I photograph aircraft at a military base close to my home.🙂

Hi Ata.  Yes, that's me and I added you as a friend.  Is it you with all that hair in the photos?  😁

I also saw a photo of some very large machine - what is that?  It looks like a rocket engine nozzle or the largest lens I've ever seen! Where in Latvia do you live...I will search it on maps.  I imagine with all that's going on around you, the air bases are pretty busy right now.  Do you have aircraft photos posted anywhere?

Wow...you've got some awesome shots there Mr. Naylor!  Love the warbirds - gotta be tough at that shutter speed.  The P-51 on take off (or is it landing?) is just perfect...great sense of motion all the while keeping the plane sharp sharp sharp.  Love it!

I was expecting the addition of these features as you. R5 users definitely deserve the tracking system added to a body like the Canon R8 ( 1.500$)

Yes, for the investment that R5 owners have made, we should have capabilities of lesser models. Seems like improved AF tracking modes are not a priority given that so many R5 users use them for the video capabilities. It isn't the best action shooter and I've found that out the hard way. I for one definitely don't need 400mb jpg files and some examples I've seen have terrible artifacting when viewed at 100%. What drove them to release that in such an unrefined state with no raw capability? Since it only works with DPP, is it more of a play to get more DPP users? I just don't understand it.

Canon has never promised any of this though, not even pixel-shift. I don't expect much more from them since they will be trying to sell R5 mkii at this time next year. There's no reason for them to bridge the gap for us now which is making me lean towards putting my R5 up for sale before it loses too much value.

yes, I will sell it before it loses its value.

I need to put my R up for sale.  🐵
