Very good review.
First to do comparison between 3 big together in real time.

I know there are many photographer/videographers out there that really like the Boling RGB lights with built in arm. Through midnight tonight, Oct 26, 2020, B&H has it on their daily specials sale for a very low price of $99.00, for anyone wanting this light. That's roughly $20.00 cheaper than the best price normally found on Ebay for this light.

There is only one usecase for this sensor: thousand of thousands of surveillance cameras in china (and in growing numbers of other countries)

There is another...coming soon to the iPhone 13.

This lens won’t be as popular as the 100-400 mk1 and 2... because of this huge price step again....
I can buy the mk2 for ~1300€ in 2nd market and for around 2k€ new. Sometimes with cashback of 200+€.

yeah it’s sharp, light but not that bright as I espected. Maybe for 1500€ but not for >3.000€!

True true... but that argument will never work to convince manufacturers to drop the price.

Or rather... if you are selling a lens used you better not be asking for the price of a new and the lastest tech lens around!!

I never get this logic. Like why buy into the RF system at all? Compared to the R5 + 100-500, you can get a 5DIV and a 100-400 on the used market for HALF the price!!! Tsk tsk, what is canon thinking asking those prices for the former combo??

That would be nice to be able to get that close to one.

The picture of the seagull is also uncropped, about 30cm to 1,5 meter away is no problem.

Why not just buy a RED?

It is all way above my level, but the answer could be VFX and compositing. As good as Red image is, I did once read somewhere that the compression of their codec can cause issues for top level compositing.

Yeah, I've had the R6 for over a week now and the IQ is incredible. Indisputably better than the 6D Mark II and marginally better than the 5D Mark IV.

I just noticed today that the R6 also does this. I imagine this will be changed at some point with a firmware update. I've been using first curtain shutter mostly.

It is on mine as well. The spring is weaker than my R but otherwise about the same.

I have almost no feeling in my fingers so I usually glue a raised button to the shutter button which helps me locate and operate it by feel. I stick it on with one of the little Jot removable adhesive pieces so it falls off once or twice a year. I make the buttons from thick leather and a leather punch. A dozen of them takes just a few leather scraps and a minute. They used to sell similar things at crazy prices, they cost nothing to make. The trick is to use temporary adhesive that won't flow in heat or dry hard and become permanent. Since they cost less than a penny, I don't mind them occasionally falling off.

Thank you! thought it was just me

Good to see continuing updates, but I'm not seeing anything specific to R5/R6...

I live near a fedex hub so I opt to have my package be picked up, but not because of contractors, just so I don't have to wait all day for it to arrive. I did however recently use B&H's upgraded delivery to get something before they closed for Sukkot and it was only like $17 for a next day or 2 day delivery to CA, well worth it IMO.

Isn't it amazing how people into photography get an education on Jewish holidays?

I know when you first get a camera, it steers you towards setting the date and time before you do anything else.

Setting the pass code (or deciding not to have one. if you'd rather take the risk) could be another "first time you turn it on" deal.

I hadn't noticed it before, but the distance scale in the EVF shows magnification as well!

MarCan said:

Ok so I see (Google) thats because of the lights.

Well thanks a lot for the help

FWIW, you can use both 24 and 30fps with 50Hz lights, just make sure your shutter is set to a multiple of 1/50s. That isn't a proper 180° shutter angle, but it's good enough for filming my kids

Joules said:

Can you elaborate what you think the disadvantages of high resolution images for stitching are? Is it just about processing times?

Click to expand...

Well for me anyway stitching allows me to use a longer focal length lens which should give a more corrected (flatter) individual image and more detail per image. The balance to work out being the number of initial images, individual image size and what the final fov I want for a particular final photo. If I use a really high res sensor and do the same as above the files would be huge and as you say processing times big although that doesn't bother me too much. So for a given focal length you could use less images and get the same detail but that would mean using a wider lens, not good for stitching. Either way huge files and processing times with no real final benefit or similar size files and processing times but more problamatic stitching.
I should say though that all panos I do are only for printing no other use case. I'm not into the giga pano zoom in crazy amounts stuff. If you're really into that which for me is more about tech and science then yes more is better (focal length and high res)

telemaque said:

Again this would be a bizarre marketing price positionning given the C line structure...
C70 price should be "below" C100 or in the same level.

Click to expand...

Think size not price.
Price would make less sense since C300 Mark V could cost less than C500 Mark I.

Within a few weeks of the EOS R being released, we had some good, helpful suggestions for Customizing AF tracking sensitivity, acceleration/deceleration, and point auto switching. I'm not finding anything specific about this for the R5/R6 yet, but I might be missing some good links.

What experience and advice might CR members share about these options for the R5/R6? Do the 4 cases plus Auto meet most uses in the real world?

Any other AF setting tips?

Thanks!

When it comes to photography, give me a good sensor (APC or better, FF), a good lens... those phones with thier zillion mega pixels and tiny lens... need to be turned off cause they scare the birds.

Overheating is likely the reason. The battery warms up while charging so it would add to the heat load already there. I use a case relay which includes a DC-DC converter. That allows it to be operated from a 5V USB source like a USB Battery or a 5v USB Adapter. It also removes one heat source from the camera. Batteries tend to get warm while being used. They don't heat up a lot but with mirrorless cameras that run all the time, there is heat.

It has a small rechargable battery in it which allows you to replace a USB battery without stopping camera operation. I bought mine to make sure my Camera would operate during the entire time of the solar eclipse. I had a velcro strap that was used to attach my USB battery to a tripod leg. It worked fine for that. I can also use a DC adapter to power my camera continuously where AC power is available.

There are Chinese knock offs, I'm not sure I'd want to trust one.

Mine has powered several of my different cameras. All that is needed is a battery coupler for the particular camera. I have a LP-E6 coupler plus a LP-E17 that I've used. I have yet to try it on my R5 but it works fine with my R. You can get couplers for many different types of cameras, Nikon, Sony, Canon, Olympus, Panasonic, and Fujifilm. Some brands have multiple couplers available that replace different battery types.

Isn't that the perfect dedicated vlogger device? Since that type of product exists, whats the point of sony ZV-1 and the likes?

Click to expand...

The specs say that DJI Pocket 2 also has hybrid autofocus but I can't imagine that it is on par with Sony.
ZV-1 also has a sensor twice as big.
On the other hand, the ZV-1 lens is no way near wide enough.
Pocket 2 comes with a 20 mm full-frame equivalent lens and the Creators Kit has an add-on 15 mm FF EQ lens so it is much better for filming yourself and the surroundings handheld.
You can also put it down and have it track you.

Conclusion
The Canon EOS R5 is well-suited for just about any type of photographer, whether you shoot portraits, events, weddings, sports, family gatherings, and more. We've felt a bit let down by Canon's promises of the camera's outright video capability, but for most users, it's still a great option for getting good-quality video clips of almost anything you point it at. Power users that need the best video quality all the time won't be a good fit, but otherwise the EOS R5 is a fantastic option for almost anyone looking for a quality full-frame high-resolution mirrorless camera."

I keep saying this (but add at least mini xlr inputs) but I thought I was the only one that wants this.

Any Canon camera with a C at the front of it's name should have some flavor of XLR.

landon said:

Perhaps it's better that they let us know what's coming, so you don't regret buy. C90 could be identical to the C70 body, but FF, to counter the fx6.

A road map like Nikon does would be so awesome. This stuff is bank breaking expensive and wrong choices can kill your company. If you buy a lens that works for S-35 today will Canon still be in the S-35 business next year or do you have to massivly over buy all large format lens you may never actually need. Will Canon suddenly release a medium format sensor and in 5 years drop all their full frame sensors forcing every one to start over again? Canon dropping their largest stills user base the crop buyers with out a word of warning was a real dick move and cost me thousands. Combine that with their flat out lies about their cameras capabilities and Canon has lost my trust.

So, I ordered the new RS 2 within 30 minutes to an hour of seeing it last Wednesday. Forked out the extra $15 for delivery last Friday instead of tomorrow(because I head out of town at Oh God thirty for a shoot for several days). B&H dropped that ball, as they have been doing a lot lately, and didn’t ship it until Friday when I was supposed to receive it. So that pushed the delivery date to Monday. But then it was FedEx’s turn to drop the ball. After not receiving it by late afternoon, I tracked it and they had delivered it to the wrong address. So, I finally received it today. And I got to play around with it for about 10 minutes before I broke the damn USB port on my 5DIV(That I’ve had since launch day in ‘16 with out any problems). Somebody REALLY does not want me to have this thing.

But from the little bit I have messed with it, it feels nicer and more balanced in the hand plus it is much lighter(over 1 lb less). The locks are also a MUCH needed and appreciated upgrade/addition. You can balance the payload a lot quicker. I wish they would have put knobs to adjust the balance on all the axes, but the single one on the camera plate to adjust the tilt still helps a lot. As does the quick release of the camera from the balance plate. That’s going to come in VERY handy. The one bad thing I do have to say, considering the limited time I’ve had with it so far, the documentation/instructions for the RavenEye is pretty much non-existent. Even the printed booklet for The RavenEye that comes with it, doesn’t tell you anything.

I’m not really going to get to use it until I get back this weekend and then not to it’s fullest until after I get my 5DIV repaired. Even with my CPS discount, it’s going to be in at least the mid-$300’s or higher, for the repair(Estimate was well into the $400’s not counting the CPS discount). Definitely wasn’t planning on that one...

Thanks
