Very anxious to hear about EVF blackouts. Fast frame rate with less than adequate visual makes things like BIF or action difficult. Hopefully we will see reviews from unaffilited folks soon.

Yet I BIF all day long with my EOS-R.

Dont know how reliable this is...

Which Canon rep? One with whom you spoke personally, or one who said this on the web? If the latter, kindly provide the link. Thanks!

i dont remember where in this video, sorry, but its in here i assure you

Sometimes it is enough to get optimum exposure and sometimes, just like any reflective metering, it doesn't produce the exposure that you want, but the evaluation is linked to AF point, and as Sharlin says, it's easy enough to watch it happening. You're not on your own though in not realising that's it's been happening. I recon the majority of users don't realise !!

The metering and it's 'intelligence' is always getting better from generation to generation, and so I would expect the R5 to be better just as the future 5DV will be. It's interesting that Canon have chosen to highlight this in the R5 specs, maybe they too have realised no one knows about the feature. Certainly now, with my 5DS I really don't have to worry about getting a useable exposure, although I'm still one of those people that like to take an incident meter reading if feasible.

As I'm sure you are aware, Spot metering linked to a single AF point is a really dangerous way of metering and you have to be aware of its limitations, which is probably why Canon only offer it in the 1 series. Spot metering, by its very nature, is intended to be used over multiple areas of the scene to assess an exposure, not as a single spot reading, yet this is exactly what linking it to a single AF point is likely to do, and so a degree of EC is likely to be required anyway, otherwise you could end up with a right royal hash in overall exposure of the image.

I tried to explain all of this a few days ago but I don’t think I did a very good job because I got nowhere and the thread is still going. Your explanation is much more concise and on point than mine. Let’s see if you manage to be more convincing. I gave up after half a dozen posts.

I guess I got confused with the fact that Sony has a smaller mount.

So in other words it's mostly Canonites who are impressed/excited about this camera? I never thought of that given that I've never considered switching back to Nikon or moving to Sony and haven't experienced what Artie and the rest have. Never the less, I'm a happy camper because the R5 seems to tick most of the boxes and a 100-500, if its IQ/AF is great, would be very handy along with the 45 MP. Certainly catch up is a valid term relative to many items.

What I want is for the camera and lens to have the best features available, whoever invented them. If Canon borrows the best from Sony and Nikon and adds its magic touch, then I am a happy buyer. Let's face it, they all knock off each other. When we buy a car, we expect the manufacturers to be competitive in all their features.

Hello Everyone, I am using Canon 600D I remember buying it in the year 2014. Right now I am mostly taking a photo on person and product. I usually need a photo that can clearly take a shot on what I am focusing on and burry the background. But I do not know which lens to get. I do not mind about the price I just want a lens that can help me work and take a good beautiful photo. ดูตารางบอลสด
Please advise me, even though I am still new with camera but I believe that practicing and taking photos every day will make me improve to be a better photographer. ดูตารางบอลสด
Thank you in advanced

hey there,

People will offer all kinds of well intentioned advice but the truth is without seeing what kind of photos you like and want to take it can't possibly translate to your usage. Post some links to images you like and aspire to, or one or two of your own favorite images, and we can tell you exactly what you can achieve those results with.

And what % would you expect and why?

I mean, isn't it obvious that Canon (or Sony, or whoever else) doesn't do miracles?

I'm just conveying that a product can be a mind-blowing leg up in specs for one person and an 'okay, so they finally caught up to us' to another.

Indeed I'm half seriously wondering whether we're going to see memory cards with heatsinks that protrude from the slot. A battery grip that also functions as a heat sink seems like an idea that I'm sure has occurred to engineers as well

Or even just attach a L-plate. That will substantially increase surface and will hopefully address the heat dissipation issue. Aluminium is not the greatest material from a heat conductivity point of view. But still..

I preordered after enough information became available that I was convinced it would be a significant step up from my 5D IV.

it will be my first EVF camera. I hope I don’t hate that part of it.

For my use as a fashion photographer, I have found the EvF of the R to be perfectly fine except for when in direct sunlight. The screen doesn't have the dynamic range of the naked eye obviously so it is easy to lose track of the edge of the frame if it's in shadow

I strongly suggest a visit to Optical Limits, where you will find, in "Industry News", an extremely interesting interview of Leica's optical genius, Peter Karbe.

Considering the fact that the TC's are white (and the 600/800 @f11 are not) we might expect tele lenses (with wide aperture) in a white lineup. Now the only white lens is the 100-500 that would be color-matching?

Not exactly. The R bodies have a brushed silver mount ring as does the rear of the 100-500 for a perfect match. The TCs don’t have this color so don’t match either.

I really don't know that there is a definitive answer. There are people on both sides of the question that make statements with absolute certainty.

Sure, both sides have written a lot. But I have yet to see an example for two images from comparable cameras (same sensor size, roughly same generation sensor) where a difference in resolution results in a differennce in noticeable noise when viewed at the same size.

I personally find demonstrations through images to be fairly definitive.

If you compare images from different resolution sensors at 1:1, you're a) going to see more noise in the higher res sensor and b) doing it wrong

After all, the further you digitally zoom into an image, the more it's detail becomes apparent, along with the noise.

Kit. said:
The truth is: keepers from R5 will be noisier on average, because you will be able to crop more.

That's only true, if you actually do crop more. If you don't, it doesn't hold. Then you just have a lot of high resolution keepers. But I guess the assumption is that you would go for 45 MP because you do in fact crop severely often (wildlife and so on), so then it makes sense.

Someone here (I believe it was here) posted that the 1DX3 test shots at DXO were originally 12 bit electronic shutter shots.

I don't believe DXO has formally acknowledged that, but it surely would explain the delta in results. See what e-shutter does to DR at PTP:

I'm probably just confused. The function that Canon presented is inside DPP? And that is an off-camera application. My comment above was pointless.

The article tells which of the functions can be performed in camera, and which are in DPP. The depth map imbedded in the raw allows DPP to make adjustments, and the processor in the camera is good enough to make some adjustments on the fly.

It all depends on your usage of the camera, if you take lots of photos and work on them later, or just a few and spend the time to get them optimized using in camera features. Nothing wrong with either or both.

We are done with the R5.

Now it's time for 5D5 and M5.2 rumors!

So... 3'899 USD. My guess wasn't so bad for someone who "doesn't understand the market", eh? Turns out you don't need to be an expert in a particular market, basic understanding of marketing & supply and demand is quite enough.

you said that anything over $3,500.00 would not make sense to you. are you trying to say now: I was wrong. The price mark is much higher than I was initially expecting... apologies for being childish..." Is that correct?

I noticed the standard ISO range for the R6 goes one stop higher than the R5 (102400 on the R6, vs 51200 on the R5.) This makes sense because of the lower resolution and larger pixels.

But with just under half the resolution on the R6, at the risk of setting off a heated debate, is it fair to say that the high ISO noise performance between the two cameras will probably be pretty similar to one another for any photo viewed at a given size? I would think any higher amount of noise on the R5 will be negated by the fact that you are only looking at the photo at about half the scale of a photo from the R6 at any given size.

My guess is you'd have a hard time telling the difference. We already know from IDX III testing that the 20 MP sensor is excellent and there's no reason to think the brand new 45MP sensor won't be very good as well. If I were choosing between the two, noise wouldn't be big factor for me. If you think you will be shooting a lot of very high ISO that might be a reason to go to the 20MP sensor but I'd have to be conviced you couldn't get the same result from sampling down the larger 45MP.

But, I've never even seen either camera so that's just my guess if it's any value to you. I think the highest ISO I've ever used "successfully" used was 10,000 and that was a 20 MP file from a 1DX Mark II.

Right now my country is open internally, but border is lock to F down. Thankfully our Govt did really well in moving early. But, I can't get the R6 until the border is reopened!

It's way cheaper to fly to Miami or NYC, buy gear and return with it in luggage, than paying the ridiculous duties and vat if I have it shipped.

Until borders are open I am going to have a permanent sour look on my face lol

Plan is
R6
RF 24-105 L f4
RF 85 f2
