They seem to be Out of Stock anywhere near me and Canon Canada (& US too)
I have an unreliable Godox V860III in for repair under warranty
I take 4 - 800 Flash shots a week for Auctions so I need something reliable
The Godox are not reliable for my needs.
I've found a couple of places online that may actually have the 600EX II
but if it's being replaced should I wait for a 600EX III?

I'm just home from a lengthy trip to Papua New Guinea and Australia. I thought I'd start by sharing this amazing Bird of Paradise the Ribbon-tailed Astrapia. What a bird!

If you want to see more images from this trip my latest newsletter has just gone out chronicling my the trip...

I hope you'll enjoy these amazing birds - https://tinyurl.com/yn4wtwuz

Hi all. I am looking for a very wide and bright lens (ie F/1,8) for my R5 full frame camera.
I do astro and landscape photo and sometimes I need a wide lens.
Currently I have the RF 15-35mm f2.8 which is of course great BUT in some occasions, a brighter and wider lens will be very much welcome.
Sadly the old (and still good) EF 8-15mm Canon fish eye does NOT cover properly the full frame of my R5 as it works better with a different sensor...

Why canon so far has NOT put in their production calendar a wide lens?

This is definitively some lens, I´d like to see from Canon!!!!! What would it be easier to use this lens (like my 200-400&1.4) at birding? Just adding the extender by a switch
But cheaper

It seemed like as soon as a rumor cracked about an R replacement/suspected R8, the R6mkII surfaced and stole the show. The R6mkII really seems to firm up that camera's place in the R series lineup. Now that it has been released, I am curious to know what the expectations are on the R replacement/R8 rumor. Anyone want to make any bets or prognosticate? I for one am very curious, as the R with some improvements occupies a space I would be interested in moving into, with the blend of MP and features. And I tipped my hand a little bit here, but would sum it up this way: The R6mkII really does a good job of differentiating itself from the other models in the lineup. An upgraded R makes a lot of sense right now, but I think the specs from the rumor might be a bit ambitious. However, I wouldn't mind IBIS at that price point if I could get it.

Not sure I see the point of today's update? Seems the home page now only fills a central band of my screen whereas it used to fill the whole width of the monitor. New layout seems confusing too but i guess I may get used to it. The phrase 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it' springs to mind ...

We go to the Galapagos on 5th December and I have a dilemma. I had made the decision to get the R5 but with the announcement of the R6 Mark II I have had a change in mind and would prefer the R6 Mark II if available.

Release is end of November in the U.K. From previous experience will I likely get hold of the R6 Mark II by early December?

Am I correct in assuming that the new autofocus features on the R6 Mark II will be on the R5 (firmware upgrades)? Only hesitation of getting the R5 is whether a Mark II will be released soon but is inevitable…

Matsaly · Nov 7, 2022

Greetings,

I'm new to the CR forum and would appreciate any info from experienced users. I have a R6 and want to know Canon's history of supporting legacy products in terms of software/firmware updates.

Does Canon tend to provide SW/FW updates to discontinued cameras?

I have a Leica Q and as soon as the Q2 came out all SW/FW updates for the original Q ceased.

Thanks

You know what would sell? A rear lens cap that is a rudimentary camera. 3MP would produce results good enough for nearly all web publishing. No card or removable battery, instead internal storage for 1000 photos. A USB slot for downloading and recharging. maybe a 60,000 pixel, 200x300 LCD the size of a stamp. Aim for a price of $50-100 or less.

The 20mm film-to-flange spec of the RF mount would set the minimum thickness, but still.

With the announcement of the Canon EOS R6 Mark II and Canon RF 135mm f/1.8L IS USM out of the way, we can look forward to what Canon has planned next for the EOS R lineup.
EOS R System
Canon EOS R100
The Canon EOS R100 seems to be the camera that is most likely to be announced next from Canon. It will take on the form factor of the EOS M lineup and sport an RF mount. If Canon is indeed moving on from EOS M, they will need to replace the form factor. The Canon EOS R10 doesn’t fill the void of a small ILC...
