"I did like the fact that in 2025 that Canon finally decided that ditching the EVF isn’t such a bad thing, but we are still missing out on the EVFless main APS-C camera, such as what we saw with the EOS-M lineup,"

Canon joined Sony (Sony ZV-E10 II) and Nikon (Nikon Z30) in deciding that vlogging cameras don't get an EVF. I doubt that they will create a future photocentric APS-C camera without an EVF like the M line had.

I'm wondering? Would there ever be a use for a tse macro lens?

there have always been uses for TS macro lenses. A few of the more recent TSE lenses were all half macro if I recall correctly

That might be an interminable wait.

I like this sequence. Nicely done, ISv.

Just for you, Richard: My hopes are for an EOS R100 with integrated grip. The ultimate weapon for sports and wildlife photographers.
Eat your heart out, R1!

That gives me a great idea for April 1st.

Do not blaim Craig: IMO it makes sense to combine the forum threads on posts with similar content.

Would also love an RF-S 15-85, which is probably my most used lens on my 7DII's. My R7 came with an 18-150 kit lens and it just never gets used as not wide enough. So the R7 just gets used with the 100-500

i have never been a fan of 18mm on canon's APS-C either. though, i did have the 18-150 on the EF_M and loved it.

Still hoping that canon comes with a compact camera especially for photographers, with enough zoom like 300 or 400mm bigger sensor.
And with raw and an evf or a new 740hs with raw function

- 70-300/4L (80-300 or whatever) optimized for travel (weight and size). The 100-500 is a brilliant lens and a great upgrade after the EF 100-400 II (which was already great), but still too heavy. The 70-200/4 is also brilliant but 200mm is often not enough. The 70-200/2.8 does not accept 1.4X.

This is a good idea. I love the 70-200 f/4 for the compact size but it is often too short. I also like the 100-400 f/∞ which is great for travel and landscape but the 70-200 wins with rendering when shooting people or streets. Sometimes I need to carry both.
I'd be fine if they can do a 70-300+ lens that is f/4 up to 200mm and then it gets darker (so it would be kinda those two lenses combined, hopefully still maintaining the size and weight). But that lens would be difficult to advertise and sell.

I've seen predictions of "The AI Bubble Bursting." Assuming this does happen, wouldn't prices stabilize?

My prediction (and probably its in vain) that Canon realizes that they need a standard RF-S zoom for the R7 Mark II.

ANYTHING that starts with 24mm equivalent, I hate the 28-150 focal length

a RF-S 15-85mm F2.8 would be ideal but i'll take anything starting with 15mm instead of 18mm. A F4 lens would be ok too!

10x

(though I probably prefer F4 or variable aperture for size/weight)

Also some cards have wear leveling, and some do not. it's not something they commonly mention either.

I thought all cards with an integrated memory controller (everything after xD cards) employed wear-leveling.

Scheduled to be launched in Japan on 30th January 2026, this device will bring video recording functionality to the already highly popular “Instax” series. […]

ah, you've missed all my lectures on the subject!

Consider a card like a small SSD, there's a finite number of times that you can write to each cell before you start to get problems... if you tend to fill a card, wipe it and use it again, and do this over and over - just realize there are limits - especially with high capacity cards.

Thanks for that. Indeed I do a lot of shoot, upload, wipe card, repeat.

I wish they'd make a 70/100-300mm f/4 IS with an internal zoom.
They made the 50-300mm f/4.5L in the FD mount, but they never ported that focal length and constant aperture to EF.

Today because of the forecast I went to botanical garden (in case of rain you have a shelter).
I always was thinking these parakeets are eating the entire seed pod. Today this smarty told me "No, dummy, we are doing it different way" and show me the process... Note that it did open the pod exactly where the bigger seeds start! The rest is just discarded.
