Garden hose!

I just wipe it down with Zeiss lens cleaner. The buttons and dials are very well sealed, you'll see the recessed sealing around the buttons. Anything that sticks around will fall out when it's dried up.

Try the dishwasher on a cooler setting. Oops, sorry - I confused it with a Sony.

The email popup thing is coded directly into the site, which isn't really the way it should be done. The code for that will be removed today.

That's great! Seems like you guys have figured it all out. Well, everything that I have noticed at least. Hopefully it's smooooth sailing from here on out. Thanks again!

Lovely shot.

What is the best option for a high quality, pro-level memory card for the Canon R5 Mark II? I'm using it for wildlife, birds, action...still shots, though I may try some more video given the camera's video capabilities. Thanks in advance!

I don't have to be.

And you are not, looking at your example of the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Double-Gauss (or Double Gauss, or double Gauss), which it is not.
So maybe start correcting yourself before blaming others for (potentially) wrong notation.

For this generation, for R6-3 + R7-2 you will probably be at least the price of the R5-2 if not more. Not fair to compare old generation camera 2-bodies scenario with one of the new generation.

Also I guess it depends if your main work is wildlife (2 bodies scenario) or portrait/landscape/event/action and higher end single body scenario.

Event and action are, more often than not, two body scenarios.

What it really means is there is the performance that can be wrung out of a lens if you really, really know your lens. Know where in the image it works best and where it works worst and plan your photographs accordingly. And that, my friends, is one of the things that separates great photographers from good ones. - Roger Cicala February 2020

I'm still hoping to see a build in tele converter. I think it was the best move Nikon ever made for wildlife photography...

"strong sales growth of entry-level interchangeable-lens cameras"

But according to some FF enthusiasts nobody buys entry-level cameras anymore.

I would like to know if folks are testing this outside under "real" photographic conditions especially in areas of 5G influence?

Only the n53 5G band overlands with the 2.4GHz band Canon uses, and only one company operates on that, in a very limited capacity. I'd be more worried about microwaves, consumer wifi access points and poorly shielded monitors.

That's something I have been considering as well, I should try my EF70-400 non-IS more since I'm encountering more an more situations where the 24-105 isn't long enough and the 100-500 is too dark. Having said that, none of the RF 70-200 options are realistically in the budget, even used ones

And it's a toad We have a collection of juveniles and adults visiting each day, but usually in hard to photograph spots, this one ventured out into a spot where it could be easily walked around!

My new equipment when travelling/hiking: R5 II + 15-35 ,second R5 II + RF 70-200f/4. Each camera on a Capture Peak clip mounted on the left and right backpack straps.This covers more than 95% of all situations.
In the bag, easily accessible: 100-500, 60 Leica R macro (sometimes) and, for cities, 24 TSE.

Canon released its third-quarter financials today, and the results are generally good for Canon Corp. Canon did suffer an operating profit drop from a year ago's third quarter, but as they noted that the 3rd quarter of 2024 was a bit of an outlier, as it was their highest quarter in history. So, a drop […]

How much of the overheating issue in the R1 could be due to the card itself? It seems that some CFExpress Type B cards run hotter or cooler than others? I had the same issue with overheating with relatively minimal use indoors, with still shots.
Here's a link comparing card temperatures: https://bcgforums.com/threads/cf-express-card-heat-test-yourself.27180/

Kind of between 2009 and 2014 they produced 50 millions lenses (10 millions average) and between 2014 and now 70 millions (6,36 millions average). So they are definitely slowing down, we don't have more precise data's in the article. RF could have had a noticeable impact on this average per year.

2009-2012 was the peak of digital camera sales when everyone was buying DSLR's.

I don't know if it fits your budget, but Cobra Tether cables are excellent and should work with Camera Connect.

Thanks,

They do look good. Unfortunately I’ve since discovered that remote shooting on the R5II using Camera Connect only works via Bluetooth or Wifi.

I had been hoping to use the USB-C cable to eliminate the lag you get using Camera Connect for remote shooting.

Might need to look to see what other apps allow for remote shooting of the R5II via USB-C.

If you're thinking about buying new RAM for your computer, new SSDs, or even just new memory cards for your camera, do it "now" because a 30% price rise is coming due to demand from AI. This will potentially impact smart phones, laptops, maybe even some digital cameras where RAM isn't part of the SoC.

The memory supercycle appears unstoppable, and memory giants are already responding by hiking prices. According to the Korean Economic Daily, Samsung ...

One small mistake in the specs chart posted. It says colour (color to us Americans): black. In fact it comes in either dark blue or medium gray, but not black.

The screw-in drop-in filters could very well be discontinued. I found a new-in-box from a 2nd hand retailer in France a couple of years back. He doesn' have it in stock right now, though.
I was looking for an ND3 as well at the time. I now have a clear, an ND3, and a C-POL.

Yes, I bought a Kirk lens foot from them. They wouldn't ship to New Zealand, but I got it via my brother-in-law in Switzerland.

Canon USA has issued a service advisory for the PowerShot V1. If you're not in the United States, your local Canon service center will be able to assist you. The issue is not likely major for a lot of shooters, but it'll be a good idea to get your camera serviced if you do have […]

With the X-T30 III came a new and interesting kit lens for those who may decide to jump from smartphones to APS-C Cameras. Canon did a similar thing with the RF-S 14-30mm, and now we have the XC 13-33mm f/3.5-6.3 OIS lens from Fujifilm that offers a 20-50mm field of view experience, which more closely […]

I hope Canon doesn't release a 50-150mm F2.8 L while Sony just released a F2 version of it. I believe the next zoom will be the rumored 200-500mm (or was ist 600mm?). After that Canon should imo release:
- 70-180mm F2.8 STM (or similiar)
- 70-150mm F2 which weighs less than Sonys offering. If not, make it 50-150mm
- 24-300mm L superzoom (or similar)

In one thread there was a rumor about a wild UWA zoom. Maybe a 14-28mm F2? I don´t know, I don't believe it is imminent.

After that, we´d need mkii of:
- 28-70mm F2 (give a big fat diet)
- 24-70mm F2.8 (put it on a diet, improve it like Nikon did, fb compensation, make it faster... maybe it the version rumored lately to feature VCM motors)
- maybe 15-35mm F2.8 mkii (see above)

I'm currently waiting for a holy trinity of f2.0 zooms for buying RF lenses, ideally in this order and internal zoom.

50-150 f2.0, starting at 70mm would make it significantly less useful. Ideally I would even prefer if it could start at 35mm like a 35-135mm to skip the 28-70.
15-30mm f2.0 or even 16-35mm f2.0 for using as both a Landscape and street photo beast.
28-70 f2.0 MK2 or even better 24-70 f2.0

When you see the 50-150 f2.0 from Sony and 35-150 f2.0-2.8 from Tamron Canon has to release something to compete against it. And I can't see them having years and years to do it. Especially as it's a very useful lens for wedding photographers.
