Hello, we are making a camera purchase or upgrade in the first quarter of 2026. Originally we are looking at the R5MKII although the new R6MKIII is catching our attention. The camera will be primarily used for editorial style photography using flash or strobe lights. We would also like to use the new camera as an additional video camera from time to time, though photography is it's main purpose. For video, the open gate of the R6MKII, although nice, is not something we would use. The maximum sysc speed of 1/320 in Electronic 1st curtain of the R6MKIII would maybe be more interesting to me. I also know the BSI stacked sensor of the R5MKII is good for eliminating rolling shutter, although we will not be shooting sports or wildlife. We do have the budget for the R5MKII though I would like to purchase the better camera for editorial, product and portrait photography that can shoot reliable 4K video on the side.
