YouTube is one of the most popular sites for misinformation as well. So, if you don't give the title and content, and better still author, you are directing someone down an unknown rabbit hole.

How would anyone know where on YouTube your link would take them when seeing your post?

Make Exposure Compensation work in Manual Exposure with Auto ISO.

Huh? What doesn’t work about it?

EC applies to Auto ISO in M mode…for example in M at 1/100, f/2.8 if the camera meters ISO 3200 and I apply +1 EC, then the camera meters ISO 6400.

I don’t have a R5II or R6III that are also slated for the rumored update, but that what happens on my R1. It’s the same on my R8 and even on my PowerShot V1 and M6.

Are you expecting something different?

A new remote? That tiny little detail in this rumor is what might actually interest me Does anybody use the Canon BR-E1 with the Canon R5? I´d love to hear about your experience. I´m getting tired of using "camera connect" as a remote and I am actively searching for BT option. It would be great if I can find one with a timer or a small display that shows the time in bulb mode. I am open for any suggestions

I use the Canon BR-E1 with the Canon R5.
BT connectivity is OK (not as bas as Camera Connect is with the R5).
But implementation of Canon BR-E1 in R5's functions is far from ideal, you can't use it with every drive mode as I would like it and you do it with the cable release.
So I still use the cable release from time to time.
No, there is no display on the BR-E1 as it is on TC-80N3, you still use the timer within the camera.

The R5II outruns the R5 regarding BT connectivity in any aspect.

I'm Ok with the 45mp of the R5m2, but I would like that 45mp in a pro body.

Any news about updating the Canon 400mm 2.8 & 600mm f4?

It's a new video from Ordinary Filmmaker titled "Canon Shocks by giving video shooters key features they demanded".

I have been begging and crying for a compact ff for years. Now it's here and I can't decide to be happy or sad.
It's the usual - it's too big, too heavy, too expensive.

- 5X(!) the _current_ price of the R50V, it's basically the price of the R6m3
- only 20% smaller than the R6m3 while the R50V is more than 40%(!) smaller than the R50 despite the R50 already being small
- only 100g lighter than the R6m3
- SONY's 33MP and 60MP ff compact is 40% smaller than the R6V!!!!! What is happening here?!?!

OK, maybe I'm looking at it wrong and this is absolutely a cinema camera since it's doing 7K raw and should be compared to C series only and by no means is this a ff compact for photography, any such capability is just a sideeffect...as in C series.
In that case, I need to wait for R8V maybe?

Don't trust ChatGPT. Gemini and Claude both told me that the R7 Mark II has been released early 2026. They're extrapolating a lot of things from rumor sites. There's no way they would know if production has stopped unless this information is readily available on the internet.

I've seen my posts on CR quoted by ChatGPT so don't believe them! Seriously, those AI sites are very reliable for where there is extensive official information like from governments on tax and law, or for health when they weight info from the Mayo Clinic, NHS, Harvard Med School, John Hopkins etc. But for information on issues like the R7ii, they just trawl the rumour sites because nothing official is out.

No free lunch. 45mp is sufficient for most applications with reasonably powerful PCs

More pixels are mostly about flexibility. In good light, you keep the extra detail and cropping room. In lower light, you can downsample, which averages out random noise and improves SNR, giving a cleaner final image, especially in the shadows. So smaller pixels do not automatically mean worse real-world DR. Even if sensor DR does not increase, cleaner shadows can make the final image look like it has more usable dynamic range.

As a prime lens user (mainly 35, 85, 20 in that order), the 20-50 f4 L is the first zoom lens to interest me in years.

It would be equally small, and cover 20, 24, 28, 35,50 and with crop factor, ~80. I.e. 99% of my photography in one lens, that potentially doesnt extend crudely at your subject like most other standard zooms.

A 35mm with crop covers 35 and 50 at f1.4/f2 so that would still likely be on my camera most of the time, but the 20-50 might get a lot of use and be perfect for travel and casual shots.

Would be great if you could have a subtle click feedback at e.g. 35mm. Leica used to have a lens with three set focal lengths i.e. not continuous. But if it doesnt extend when zooming, it can be left in position anyway without needing to ...

On my way up on the trail I found only the dad and baby White-rump Shama, on the way down got also the mom (and one more time the Dad)+ Red-billed Leiothrix.

The Snowy Egret on the first photo is very good photo!

I am looking forward to the new Firmware. It will be way more than just a bug fix release. Pre Capture will finally be assignable to a button

Make Exposure Compensation work in Manual Exposure with Auto ISO.

Speaking about Ordinary Filmaker, unfortunately i cannnot bring myself to like that channel due to the constant clickbait title and putting his face front and center on all the thumbnails of his videos and aso making multiple videos on a single rumors.

Not hating about him as a person tho, just not a fan of his channel.

So this is exactly as the C50 with ibis? Im not seeing the difference except for ibis

High mp is a niche and would directly impact processing/ storage bandwidth. Stacking seems to be a solution for rolling shutter but at a significant sensor cost increase.
Of course the dreaded dynamic range of smaller pixels would raise its head for reviewers.

My AUD0.02
Sony users have been happy to higher mp sensors and pay higher prices for the bodies. In a sense, that is their business model as profitability in lenses is constrained by competition so their bodies need to compensate.
We will never know how profitable Sony’s milc body/lenses are but it must be enough otherwise there would look to offload it

Even as a Canon owner I was always looking forward to the A7R VI, being the resolution freak I am.

I already put money aside for the rumored 300-600, I'm hoping it will kick ass.

The R6V has to be MUCH cheaper than the R6m3!

ScreensMatter said:

The 20-50mm could be a very good lens for photography if the price is right. The focal length is useful. Power zoom is an annoyance.

It is hard to feel envious of Sony users, every camera except the A9 III and A1 II is less ergonomically then a clay brick.

20-50mm +f4 = nah. I just cant see the value here.

Getting back on subject

I did not know we have ChukarAlectoris chukar in Maine

67 MP full frame seems to be the threshold resolution that truly is a change from the 45 MP offerings fom both Canon and Nikon. As mentioned, shooting in crop mode could be equal or better than many ASP-C cameras with similar or less resolution. Canon has decided for now to remain in the realm of hybrid video cameras that btw also shoots stills. It is nice to see Sony (and maybe Nikon someday) feature a camera body that are geared to photographers 1st and not part time or full time videographers. Being a "forever" Canon user, I don't have much hope that Canon will change their imaging strategy anytime soon. The May announcement from Sony might change my choice of cameras as well.
