I really like your shots, Alan. Especially the first one.

Beautiful series, Alan.

A couple of big boys today, a Great White Egret and Common Buzzard (Hawk). R5ii + RF 200-800mm.

Active couple of days. Today, from the largest, a Great White Egret - formerly very rare but now more common, a tiny Eurasian Wren, a Pied Wagtail (White Wagtail). A Linnet from the same locality, and from my garden yesterday, a Jay, Chaffinch and Goldfinch. All with R5ii and RF 200-800mm.

Please, no EVF. No flash. Bring me a f/2.0 lens with a 22-55mm equivalent zoom range. One SD card. Build in ND maybe? Some retro elements but keep the flippy screen and some extra programmable buttons.

EDIT. Oops sorry, I just checked out the V1 and that camera comes close to my wishlist. I'll try that before I wish for other things....

I know this is a Canon enthusiast forum and likely nearly everyone here has R as their only OR primary system, but just wondering if anyone has another branded system as their primary, and the R system (any EOS R body) as their secondary system?

And why? Just out of curiosity and fun discussion.

I've shot Canon large sensor digital since '05. Been a Canon shooter since. In 2015 I started to migrate over to Fujifilm for its smaller size and to basically get into mirrorless. Also shot EOS M for a long while too.

Today my X-T5 is my primary system. I use Canon EF glass (for fun) on it and it shoots near natively in operation. But I thought why not also shoot a Canon R body for even additional options. However its still large, with EF glass especially. So it's just really a secondary/hipster case. I'm not saying one is better than the other, in fact I prefer Canon in many ways, I just overall like using a smaller system and love the Fujifilm dials and overall results. If canon made a highly polished compact APS-C system with dedicated high end APS-C primes--both with high aesthetics/materials quality/metal build, I'd go for it. But no such thing exists.

the going price on private sale has been between 700-750. i bought my last two Rs for 700 both mint, in the socal (high saturation) area.

i'm on my third R, first one got at launch then got the urge twice again after.

Zooms are the new primes. Once the 70-200/2.8 IQ matched that of the 200/2.8, the latter was never updated and won't be. Since we have the RF 100-300/2.8, there will likely not be a new 300/2.8. Fortunately, the 100-300/2.8 is an excellent lens.

They're again too late to the compact-camera-trend party...

Their ancient PowerShots still sell.

Everything we had (EF) and we wish for RF would be nice and hardly welcome!!!

"Canon won't be re-using the 1.4″ sensor"

I wonder where they will re-use that sensor. Making a new sensor and new sensor size for one camera doesn't make much sense.

"If I had to guess, the “all-new” sensor will be a 1″ BSI stacked sensor made by Canon."

That sounds reasonable. Their previous 1" sensor, apparently made by Sony, didn't even have DPAF.

Ha! Assumptions on my part based ion nothing but wishful thinking - seems I wasn't wishing hard enough to shift reality.
Thanks for the useful explanation of aspects I really should have considered - much appreciated.

Could be exciting. I am currently thinking about getting a good PS camera since many years again, because for street shooting such a camera is more stealthy in these times of people getting paranoid about being catched in an image (but having no problems to take images and videos with their own smartphones of everyone and posting them immediately on social media). I'd love to have a G5X III with better AF than the II, since I prefer to have an integrated EVF. Or, a G1X like camera with a bigger sensor and EVF that's not too bulky would also be very attractive. The V1 is too much a vlogging camera that offers not enough control for those focused more on stills photography.

Give me an 1 sensor with dual pixel and latest af tech with a 20/24-×× lens and dedicated uw housing and i'm set. Don't care too much about apperture, for low light use aps-c or full frame Fingers crossed!

The 1 in type sensor that Canon used was from Sony. I hope they create their own 1 in type sensor this time around. I used the V1 mainly as a point and shoot. I would GX7 version with longer reach, higher aperture, and small profile. Make it reach 200mm like the RX100 VII.

You nailed it. In fact, when I am out a whole day for birding, in particular my R5 II consumes 3 full batteries minimum - okay, when nothing happens I use the waiting time to pre-select images I want to keep, and the nearly 6 Million dots EVF drains the battery quite fast, too.

That's the beauty of the LP-E19 in the R1 & R3, can shoot most of the day with one battery and at worst only need a 2nd battery (I've actually got four batteries, 2 genuine Canon and two copies, but thats another story).

It is really important when comparing cameras with non-standard image sensor sizes.
It was really just intended for focal lengths.
The arguments start to come in when we apply depth of field.
Depth of field is not always important.
In fact, sometimes having more in focus can be an advantage.

I think this debate is simply about comapring DOF between APS-C and FF. It requires a larger aperture on APS-C to match the DOF of the equivalent field of view of FF. So if you have an APS-C 50/1.8 * it will never have the same DOF as a FF 80/1.2 for the same field of view - it would have to be a 50/0.75. That is where I think this discussion should have been targetted.
Most people using APS-C are doing so for reach (birding and other wildlife for example) or generally cheaper than FF and won't be concerned about DOF.
*or FF 50/1.8 of course

Still hoping for a good zoom range like 20 or 30x like the hs740 but with a bigger sensor, and most of all with raw and not only jpeg.
And maybe with an evf.

Still hoping for a compact camera that can replace my Sony hx60, i love this little camera its my daily camera.
