Rolling shutter rate is about 13.5ms at 12-bit color. Only slightly better than the, what, 14.5 from the mark ii?
Just think, in 3 more years it'll get knocked down 1 more millisecond.
The slow march of progress.

I mean... I would just love to throw in a couple more hundred or even double the price to get rid of the excessive CA's. Get a bit more sharpness. And a weather sealed construction.

Theres still that big gap between entry level and big heavy pro glass in Canons lens strategy. Only the new 2.8 zooms seem to target the $1k price point. Why not primes?

Yeah, there's a fairly large gap between this lens and the 50/1.4L RF VCM which would really check all the boxes for me if I were going to use the 50 more extensively. I think that the new 45/1.2 fills something of a gap between the 50/1.8 and the VCM lens. I see what you mean though.

Very nice series, ISv. I especially like the first and last picture.

Does anyone think they will move the ship date up from November 25th?

R6 with new stop-motion firmware features gets you everything as before but also the 4 new features below as cut from Canon's site

New Features

Focus Position Memory enabled on all EOS RF Lenses
The Focus Position Memory feature allows for accurate manual focus of a subject. via computer control with Dragonframe software*.
Set the Aperture Value via “Aperture Lock” function with Dragonframe software*.
Toggle HDMI on and off VIA the camera's menu.
(EOS R5, EOS R6 Mark II, EOS R8 and EOS R100 only)

This means no FIZ motors needed, the camera itself can do it.

cool I guess, unless you already have fiz motors or still have axis control ports

It's baffling why Canon felt the need to cheapen the R7 and give it an introductory price of $1500 in 2022. Between 2014 and 2022 inflation was almost 24%... so theoretically the market shiould have welcomed a modernized, mirrorless 7DII that cost over $2000. Instead Canon went the other direction.
While there was a lot to like about the original R7... however there also were a lot of disappointments. Let's hope Canon has been paying attention customer comments about the R7 and R7II!

The general consensus at the time was that Sony (and to some extent Nikon) were proving very attractive to the wildlife market while Canon had nothing to compete, particularly with Sony having the excellent 200-600 at a ridiculously low price. Having the R7 body at that price, with the option of putting your existing EF wildlife lens on it was a masterstroke in the market IMO - switching to Sony would have meant buying a new camera as well as a new lens in a market sector where people by definition were on a tight budget. Now, there is not the same market pressure to keep the R7 price as low but they cant afford to be too extravagant with the price but $2200 sounds about right allowing for inflation - this would put it in the ballpark of the R6ii: even at 24MP the AF in the R6ii means it is still quite an attractive wildlife lens so the R6ii could slot in there. .

Now just need further confirmation if the 40fps electronic shutter is 14bit RAW. All the Sony fanboys I know IRL keep nagging me about this. I need facts to shut them up

Ive been shooting the R6 since, I think, 2020. I passed up the mkii - just no reason vis the R6 original, and the r5 too pricy. I will be buying this one. Ill probably just wait until after Christmas though.

So cute.

Beautiful shot, ERHP.

G650ER · Nov 6, 2025

Sucks they didn't add IS on this lens. I'm actually disappointed by all the VCM releases not having it either. For moving subjects, I've noticed IS producing better results rather than relying on IBIS.

Pre-ordered! The mtf is similar to the EF 50 1.2L and I liked that lens! (Only sold it as I had to fund half off deal on my RF 85mm 1.2) This will be the lightest AF 1.2 lens on the market, no brainer for every day carry use.View attachment 226774

The R6M3 is now the same price as the R5. Is there really a choice?

With the GH5S Panasonic made the same no-IBIS decision, because that's what videographers wanted.

And Now Panasonic Explains What's Not so Good with IBIS... but I am Looking Forward to the Fujifilm X-H1 with IBIS Anyway :) - Fuji Rumors

Panasonic and IBIS Panasonic has always been on the forefront, when it comes to the IBIS technology. Along with Olympus, they offer the best IBIS on the market, superior to the one of Sony. But all that glitters is not gold. IBIS has its downsides too, and at the recent launch of the Panasonic...

www.fujirumors.com

I don't know what Panasonic does or say but it would be great to have active cooling and IBIS in a small cinema body! That's why Fx3 became so popular.. for it's size and ease of use! I work in the last couple of years with C70 and Fx3 and I'm really thinking to sell my c70 and buy another fx3! Image wise c70 is much better but the weight and the lack of ibis makes my work harder.

Why not buy a cheap Sony body just for that one lens? Since bodies don't matter, anyway?

Keep your Canon gear for all your other use cases. No need to "switch".

I do weddings, I need total interchangeability between lenses and accessories among all the bodies I have; Cannot have Canon body dying on me and not be able to use its lenses on the other brand's body, and viceversa.
The moment I buy a Sony body (or Nikon, or anything else) for a single lens, then it's all in with the new mount, and all Canon stuff would go.

Walrus · Nov 6, 2025

This is by now the best review I found, because it goes at 100% crops in both centre and corners (no other review that I found went that deep); the images speaks for themselves about sharpness and chromatic aberrations

Sounds like a nice upgrade from the R8! How many batteries do you go through in the R8 for a typical wedding?

Full transparency: I don't usually do weddings as there are an absolute ton of wedding-focused photographers in my area and, honestly, they are really good at what they do. But, if I were to shoot a wedding with just the R8, knowing the battery life I get, I'd probably want at least 4 batteries. I currently only have 3 and my first one only holds about 30% capacity... not sure what happened to it as I am pretty careful about my electronics, but it's barely worth charging up these days.

As acorn season kicked off in September, a CA Ground Squirrel had begun pillaging a Black Oak tree and in the process was breaking off small laden branches. This Merriam's Chipmunk was making the most of it.

I think the 3 others lenses will be announced later in November, hopefully there will be a f2.0 zoom.

Yes, yes, please! I almost bought the 28-70mm F2 for 2k recently because I am so tempted. I love the images of this lens BUT I can't manage its weight and size all the time. Hopefully, a much lighter zoom such as the two Sonys are in the pipeline. Of course, then I´d still have to wait a couple of years for a decent price. But knowing it exist, would make me patient

Yeah, GPS is cool. I like the map in lightroom... fun to poke around for some memories.

Hello!
I am a naturalist, and part of my job involves conducting inventories and monitoring nature. This often requires detailed photographic documentation (a smartphone is not sufficient) of habitats and/or plant and animal species. In the days of DSLRs (7DII, then 5DIV), built-in GPS was essential. Unfortunately, in the days of the R series (and earlier M series), this is no longer the case. The connection to a smartphone is unstable and not always reliable. I do have a Canon GPS receiver, but I don't attach it to my cameras (currently R6II and R8) because it significantly affects their portability. Ultimately, I use it in logger mode and do the geotagging from my computer.
I was quietly hoping for built-in GPS in cameras that are advertised as being designed for sports and wildlife photography.
Of course, there is the R1. But... there are a lot of buts

:
- too big for me (I don't have the biggest hands)
- too heavy and not very handy for many hours of exploring the terrain
- I usually use two cameras (R6 with a telephoto lens, R8 with a macro or 24-70).
Well, let's enjoy what we have.

PS. As for the R6III - its specs look pretty good at first glance. I was hoping for a larger EVF and I feel a little disappointed here. And I'm curious to see how the improved autofocus will perform in comparison to, for example, the R5II, in field conditions. (Will the lack of an accelerator be significant?).

If you want the vintage 1.2 look, you can already buy a used EF 50mm 1.2 L for a similar price. You get better build quality, weather sealing and USM on top. In that sense, this new lens doesn't really add much to the table. I would rather get the EF lens, personally.

As far as I know, the USM on the EF 1.2 isn't exactly known for being a great implementation...

Seems like the pre-capture has been fixed and AF is a bit better. Sensor performance is probably going to be argued about on forums like these for awhile (seems a bit noisier than the R6m2, but increase resolution, etc).

I've been shooting with an R8 for the last two years and love it, but pre-capture, IBIS, and option to use CF cards for extra speed would all be nice upgrades. For $1000 more, I could get an R5, but I don't see the value for my use cases. R1 is out of my price range and is more camera than I can use; I don't see any logical reason to buy an R3 (even used ones are ~$3500) given its age.

So, yea, I think I might go ahead and just pre-order this one. The R8 can drop back to being a secondary camera: I've frequently wished that I had two cameras to shoot with at events instead of swapping lenses.

Sounds like a nice upgrade from the R8! How many batteries do you go through in the R8 for a typical wedding?
