I agree @koenkooi, it's just so practical.

Many thanks. I don't use the function a lot but sometime back I noticed that my iPhone was no longer receiving the location information. Tried figuring out why and failed. I may have even asked the question here (I don't actively participate much, more of a lurker) but couldn't find the answer. And this was so simple. Now if my 80+ year old brain will remember it is the question.

I would be happy with a 150-600 f7.1 under $1500

I discovered a ‘feature’ of the R5II AF just now: it will focus on the reflection in reflective sunglasses, not on the frame of the glasses. With f/2 and 50mm, that makes the face come out very blurred.
Very happy to have AF-ON set to spot-af, no tracking and use the upper lip as focus target

Thanks MMMM, I finally got my R1 from Panamoz in May. Great to deal with. I will be buying all my camera gear there in future.
Changing from a 1DXmk 3 to an R1 took some learning. I was lucky that a friend of mine had just got an R5 mk 2 so we did a lot of work over summer from shared hides and learned off each others mistakes. Theres a lot to learn and Im still tweeking occasionally.
I am blown away with pre-capture and the eye tracking AF.

Of course it's marketed by Tamron, not Canon, so the prices are fair in the UK. Silly me.

I'm not happy with Sonys way either but they did pretty well I think. They have some really good lenses, they have many of them and then of course the third party lenses.

The RX1R III is really tiny, so if you want the smallest full frame camera this is it.

They’re not “first gen”, they’re gear type STM. Canon has both gear type and lead-screw STM, and they still use both motors.

The RF 85mm f/2 and the RF 24mm f/1.8, for instance, use lead-screw STM, as well as few higher end lenses.

Canon Europe have an article about the lens focusing motor technology.

No, You don't get more DOF with a tilted lens. I just posted some shots with the Laowa 55mm TS here:

The closer You get to Your subject the smaller the angle of the focus plane can be.

They look nice! Have you taken any photos with it at landscape distances?

Trump was clever to exclude mobile phones from the tariffs as the additional tax would have been very obvious and impact everyone.

On that, I notice that the latest rumours for the iPhone 17 Pro involve there being some serious video upgrades - intended to target vloggers:


If so, then at least for the higher $ value, there will be a price advantage for those not needing all the features in traditional cameras.

I want such a lens for Canon so badly. Actually a 35-135 F2.0 would be even better, we would only need a wide lens to cover most of the usual stuff.

I really hope that it's the lens that will be announced with the R6 Mk iii.

There have been comments elsewhere that some folks are not using OEM batteries. I was under the impression that NON-OEM batteries wouldn't work w/ the R5M2. Is that now incorrect?

As to the issue of firmware #1.0.3, my camera would do weird things like, failing to focus, or locking up and not being able to change setting. Power cycling the camera took care of the problem, but who wants to do that? Also the metering seemed to be effected from time to time...the camera became untrustworthy. I sent my camera to Norfolk and had the firmware "wound back" to. 1.0.2, but I haven't shot since then (got it back a few days ago).

Had no problem with the pulled or current firmware...

Very good to hear.

I think the main issue was with CFExpress cards larger than 2TB, and even then in specific video shooting modes, so it shouldn't affect too many people. Still, I'll wait a bit to skip some of the update churn.

I was immediately fascinated when the product code DS126916 was certified, the photography community was abuzz that this was the EOS R9 - a flagship or semi-professional mirrorless camera in the EOS R series.

Kolari have a teardown post with video on their blog:

Canon's forgotten camera. I was wondering if we would ever see a firmware update for the R3. I guess it was perfect. I'm going to wait a week to see what people are saying about the new firmware. This is my off-season; sports will be ramping up in a month.

It's been agreed now: 15% tariffs on Japanese imports.
