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?

This is interesting. I agree that I find M just fine, but I tend to not use it in auto ISO mode. For that I have Fv.

What I would expect (my camera is packed for a trip or I'd test) is that in auto ISO mode M would target a balanced image -- i.e., an exposure of +/- 0, to put it in a crude way. Which is probably why Canon doesn't bother in M mode — either the image is balanced, or you're being "creative."

Let's assume that's how it works for a second — the balanced image of 0 is the target. If I had auto ISO on but the shutter and aperture were set in such a way that auto ISO cannot achieve a balanced image (e.g., my lens cap is on because it's a really slow coffee morning) would the idea be that an EC metric showed that 0 could not be achieved? i.e., -3 or worse.

But even if, wouldn't a histogram achieve such? To such a degree of the JPEG conversion, at any rate.

@Noise — what is the effect and use that you're trying to achieve?

I hope the new remote has a servo rocker with the option to be plugged in. It would be nice to have a "somewhat parfocal," less expensive, baby CN-30 40-1200mm too!

I want Canon to make a camera with 80+ MP

A lot of people expected the A7R VI would be exactly that. An 80mp+ BSI sensor with similar performance characteristics to the existing 61mp sensor. It seems Sony has opted to take a different path, and I'm pretty excited to see what they bring.

I can understand the skepticism because it would be a highly disruptive camera. A 67mp camera that can shoot FF images at 60fps? And 30mp 1.5x APS-C images at probably even higher frame rates? Combined with Sony's latest dual-readout system to increase DR? It's the dream camera for a lot people who do landscape or wildlife, or both. Or almost anything really. May 13 is going to be a very interesting day.

While this is indeed compatible with the Canon R5m2, I wish there was an affordable 3rd party cooling fan that actually worked like the Canon CF-R20EP. The R5m2 was specifically designed to have a vent in it so that a fan could blast air through it!

It seems like the TEC is simply a Peltier cooler.

Add internal NDs and I would be sold.

The gap from 45mp to 61mp was only about a 16% increase in linear resolution. It's not nothing, but it's not huge.

Personally, I think Sony pushing for more and more megapixels is as silly as Fujifilm's 40MP.
At 67MP, the diffraction limit already sets in at f/5.6.

Click to expand...

At 45mp it's around f6.5, at 61mp it's around f5.6, and at 67mp it's around f5.4.

Yet we already know that on 45mp and 61mp cameras, image sharpness often increases until around f8.0, depending on the lens. So I think this gets a bit tricky because there are two different things being mixed together.

Diffraction can be measurable at the pixel level before it becomes the dominant thing limiting the image. A lens can still improve when stopped down because aberrations, field curvature, and corner performance may improve more than diffraction hurts. That is why f8 can still be the sharpest aperture overall, even if diffraction technically started to matter before then.

So saying diffraction "sets in" at f5.6 is true in a narrow pixel-level sense, but it does not mean f5.6 is the sharpness limit, or that higher resolution is pointless past that. It just means the returns might get smaller.

Posts and links on this site have a title and/or a description. Notice how you know where a click will take you? That's the difference between a courteously posted link and anonymous slop.

Since the title of this post is The Canon EOS R6 V and RF 20-50mm f/4L IS USM PZ are Coming May 13 anyone with a degree of common sense would understand that it is a response to information on the R6 V.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense who has spent any amount of time on the Internet knows that there are always random, tangential and irrelevant links being posted in forum threads. There was nothing to distinguish yours from such slop, quite the opposite – typically when irrelevant (or worse) links are posted, the poster will actively try to anonymize or mask the destination of the click.

Anyone with a degree of common sense would not click on an anonymous link. Apparently you think it's fine to post something like click this cool link I found. Good luck with that.

I watched a few of Ordinary Filmmaker's videos and get a strong feeling that most of them were just dressed up/recycled stuff from Canon Rumors (i.e. this site). There is no real new info, and it takes longer to watch the video than reading the succinct summaries here.

Even if they both announce on the same day, both cameras don't really compete. Sony aims for high-end photography professionals, and Canon targets the advanced video maker crowd (Gen Z TikTok kiddies).

Personally, I think Sony pushing for more and more megapixels is as silly as Fujifilm's 40MP.

So cute!

Very dynamic shot. Nicely done, Alan.

I really like your series. Well done, Noreaster.

Beautiful shots, ISv.

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.

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

Click to expand...

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?
