Known issue with slow shutter speeds and high iso.

I was able to reproduce this issue but for the life of me I cannot think why anyone would be shooting with a Shutter Speed of 1/100(or lower) ISO 3200 or Higher and be panning the Camera.

What is the use case for doing this?

Motion blur effects/trails with available light. Like if trying to track cars in the evening...

I meant the R6 can do 1080 slowmo compare to the R which only does in 720.

I have the other two cameras (an R5 and an RP) and don't do much video (I'll take pictures of animals then a video if they're moving, for instance); thanks for the clarification!

OK..thanks.. Will go through CPS and get that recalibrated. What makes you think the sensor is bad?

Hi dtgphoto,

I got my EOS RP repaired three months ago and maybe they replaced a board. Today I was outside the first time with that camera and I observed the same issue: roughly 3 degree off consistently. Do you had success with calibration/repair?

(Methodology of the test: making 4 photos of a vertical line (window rim) through the center of the image in different orientations (portrait 90 deg rotation landscape 90 deg rotation etc.).

Hopefully Canon will release a lot of new RF lenses in the coming year, because Sony is doing very good on this side. Their new 1,8/14 looks quite amazing and Canon don't have anything to compete in this range. Just like the 200-600 and some others...

Remember to tell what you see afterwards. Have a nice one.

Sold the 400 and 600 this week. And lost quite a bit of money. So decided that I am going to try and live with the Tamron 150-600 G2 as a stopgap till the rumored 200-500 f4(with tc?) is released, hopefully next year. That way I wont lose a lot of money again. I had a 400 F4.0 DO II that I sold to finance the 400 F2.8 III. I never should have done it, realised it was my favourite lens, but too late!!!!

Picture of Elizabeth Tower, which houses the famous Big Ben bell. Picture taken from my home approximately 4 miles away.

View attachment 197149

Taken on the R5, using RF 800mm f11 lens, 2x converter, and the optional 1.6x crop. ISO 32000, 1/8 second.

If you look closely at the top of the tower, you can see the main bell (Big Ben). The light in the tower was installed to show Queen Victoria that one or other of the Houses was sitting at that moment. Sadly, I can't do much to hide the scaffolding surrounding the clock tower.

As an aside, I was very happy with how the Millenium Eye frames it,

I'm envious of where you live and your view.

My original Rebel is gone, as is my 5D classic, but I still have my 40D and 60D, though not used often. My 6D gets used most, but when I know I need to crop, the 5DsR is amazing. With the pandemic the number of shutter clicks in the last year is appallingly low. I hope we can resume our travels out of the country in 2022. I cannot remember the last time I used the EFS 15-85mm. All my other lenses are EF, and the 24-105 pretty much lives on my 6D when traveling. Least used EF is the 85mm f/1.8 and 300 f/4, but for BIF the 400mm f/5.6 is still my go to lens. My tabular list:
400 5.6
300 4.0
100-400 II
70-200 2.8 II and 4.0 I
85 1.8
50 2.5 (quantity 2)
24-105 4.0
16-35 4.0
15-85 variable f number

Sorry, but I'm getting fed up with all this "objective" (MTF) - "subjective" (bokeh") testing.
Real user experience is what I want to hear, not test-chart results, or self-declared expert judgments.
Reading reviews is only one tiny part in my decision -taking, I rather rely on CR member's opinion.
The RF 1,2/85 is a wonderful lens. Period!

It's all about taste and personal preferences. I think it's quite good actually. Don't think I'll use it that much thou, but time will tell

An interesting apples to oranges (but useful) size comparison for those still using EF system partially or wholly (or looking to get deals on EF stuff)
[thanks to camerasize.com]. Battle of the travel zooms!

EOS R6 + RF 70-200mm f/4L IS
vs
EOS 6D II + EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS

Personally I find a 70-200 f/2.8 + 70-300 f/4-5.6L combo more interesting with its extra reach than a 70-200 f/2.8 + 70-200 f/4. Might be worth seeing what Canon does for RF 70-300L if you already have the RF 70-200 2.8.

After owning many lenses in the 35mm range I came to grips with the fact that at least for me this lens is the best EF city street photography lens, period; fast, wide, inconspicuous, and the IS is nice for traffic motion shots. I ended up rebuying it after selling it some time ago. Not perhaps as colorful as the 35L but offers functional and practical benefits the L lacks.

Meh. I’ll stick with my Mountainsmith bags. They’ve yet to let me down with all the hell I’ve put them through.

I'd like too, but all the interesting ones are sold out, according to their website...

Handheld wide open with an R6 and Novaflex adaptor. Gonna try for some tripod shots soon, but the IBIS on the R6 works wonders with these old lenses.

CanonGrunt · Apr 19, 2021

Handheld on my R6 wide open. Worth it if you find one cheap enough I guess. a bit soft.

ColorBlindBat · Apr 19, 2021

I recently installed version 1.07 for the 100-400 II using my R6. Loaded the firmware on an SD card and then had the body do the update.

Good to point out. I thought about going to my original shots to see how close you came. Then it occurred to me how you obviously determined the view. And yes, I realize that you can use intermediate rotations for the shift to get a little more usable area. This was just the second thing I did with the lens right after it arrived, so I was just trying out the concept. I tried exactly the same thing with the 17mm, but because the foliage had come out, the two pictures really are hard to compare. Maybe I should try superimposing them. Note in the lower right corner you see the corner of the rail of the deck, not too bad out of focus. And I think that may be the shadow of the lens you see on it. Getting back to this makes me waver on my decision not to buy the lens.

To follow up, I did align the two panoramas in Photoshop as well as I could. The difference in perspective made an exact overlay more trouble than it was worth, and the difference in foliage obscured matching tree for tree. The 17mm version did cover more area than the 24mm, but not as much difference as one would expect from a 17mm vs. 24mm lens. Maybe what I should try is to use privatebydesign's method and separate the center shot from what has been added and compare the latter.

No, the HDMI port on the R5 doesn't support 8k output and the R5 also can't pretend to be a regular USB drive. I think the only option is that your TV speaks PTP. Another option would be to use a usb card to read the SD/CFe from your TV.

I'd start with you TV. What type of 8K input does it accept, what format? I'd plan at a minimum on converting the file type to a supported one. A video virtually always benefits from editing.

I am happy to see that the prices are the same!

I’m liking this size guys. The r3 seems like a perfect camera and we don’t even know the basic specs haha

Thanks for sharing. It made me realize just how small the R5 is!

Del Paso · Apr 19, 2021

Had the same issue, on 24/70 f4.
Rubber rings were held in place with 2 face-adhesive tape.
Replaced the tape with 3M (Amazon), but take care not to "overextend" the rubber ring.
Should you get new ones, warm them up before mounting, the risk of distorting them will be "bigly" reduced.

Great!

SumanV · Apr 16, 2021

@Noah Interesting settings. I thought for focus tracking on Canon EOS R/RP, facedetect is the only mode which works? Is this information correct?

Suman
