The collapsible lenses on P&S cameras are nicely compact when stored. I am looking forward to some actual g series replacements with that new sensor. they will inevitably be heavier than the G's were, but without the emphasis on video record time, they could be similar in thickness and maybe not that much larger. Time will tell.

Indeed. This evening, I will be shooting a 4K30 video lasting ~45 min. The emphasis on video record time may come in handy, I wonder if the fan will come on...

Remarkable, even by Webb standards!

Yes, it was a lot of fun watching them romping around.

Because of phones people got so used to portrait photos that camera have to adapt, it looks... to shoot dyptichs you don't really need such kind of camera, since it's not given the two images are shot one after the other - not even at the same time. It's anyway good to shoot photos for phone addicts who don't have to turn the phone horizontally to avoid to see a too small image...

On every other 70-200mm lenses we’ve disassembled, there are multiple metal parts that we can bend with our fingers. There’s not a damn thing we can bend with our fingers in this bad boy.

Sounds absolutely great!
I’d love to know if this statement applies to the RF 70-200mm F4 as well.

Work around solution I am using on my R5:

I can tell my R5 where the full auto AF should start, I have full auto on the backbuton and single point on the shutter, if I half press the shutter the fullauto will use the spot AF position as a starting reference, when I engage the backbutton AF.

I can point that anywhere I like and tell the full auto AF to look for something interesting at that spot.

Blorp - thanks ... I have an R5m2 but have not, yet, been able to get BBAF to work like this/how I want it to work. I will
try again to discover the settings that allow me to have it simply change the AF to work like you describe it.

Had a play with both of these at the weekend
more out of curiosity than any intention to buy
both seemed to by quite responsive
Found the right grip on the 50 RV annoying
V1 felt better in hand.

I had a play with the GFX100RF at a photo show in Bangkok
Wasn’t sure if it was the actual camera or just a mock up at first
Switched it on and it was the real deal.
Nice light weight but the build feels a bit cheap and nasty.

I shot the track meet last Saturday and was outside in direct sunlight from 10 am to 6 pm, the weather ranged from 70 in the morning to 86 in the afternoon. I was using precapture most of the day and shot about 15k pictures. I never saw the temperature bar during this event, and was shooting pretty consistently throughout the day. The camera body felt noticeably warm in my hand all afternoon, and I feel like I would have seen the temp bar with the previous firmware. The only thing to report is the camera did lock up one time while shooting but a power cycle with the switch brought it back. The viewfinder was stuck as if it were trying to take a picture and no button presses would do anything to change what I was seeing in it.

Personally, I think it depends on the angle of view and the front element diameter relative to the filter thread size. I once had vignetting issues with a cheap EF 35mm f/1.4 when stacking Freewell magnetic CPL and ND8 filters. I haven’t had that problem with the Canon RF 35mm f/1.4 VCM. If you’re not seeing any issues on the 24mm f/1.4, it’s probably because the VCM lineup has a really efficient optical design, with smaller front elements compared to DSLR lenses—or even Sony’s mirrorless glass. That also makes them better balanced, I’d say.

It is definitely easier to carry around single stackable filters but it can be tricky to tighten/loosen CPL filter if you put them on too tightly.
I moved to a 100mm system so once the step up/carrier is mounted then it is simple to change/stack filters. I use Nisi but there are plenty of others.

yeah it is configurable for VF as well as on the main flip-out rear screen. I have mine set for 3 pages and RGB histogram is on the last page. That way I find the decluttered view is the main one and I can pull up extended or full info with histogram as needed. You could set it to be different info/no. of screens etc to personal preference and needs. So under "shooting info display" as previous post but pick VF instead of "screen". Then you pick how many displays options you want to be able to cycle through (up to 3), under each of those there is a button to edit layout, I forget what it is but it tells you on the screen on the left iirc what to press to edit each of those when selected. Under that edit screen you get options to set histogram, horizontal level and so on.

Thanks so much for pointing that out! I’ll definitely check my display mode and settings to see if something’s blocking the RGB histogram option. It’s super helpful to have guidance like this—sometimes it’s just one small thing making all the difference. Really appreciate the advice and looking forward to sorting it out!

Just picked up an R5 and I am having the same issue. Seems really strange. Are all cameras affected?

Maximilian · Apr 2, 2025

I've tried to crop in much more to pronounce the pattern. But somehow it did just work this was for me.

Still processing photos from back in November.

Greetings, new here, but have been a Canon fan for decades.
Currently own and still use:
Canon F-1n, EOS A2e, and the 5DMIV
I also have some non Canons that will not be mentioned here ;P

Looking to delve into FF mirrorless - I dusted off my a6000, which I picked up when it was released to delve into the mirrorless world. It’s a fine cropped sensor camera, but never really considered Sony any further - as the interface just felt clunky to me.

Fast forward to 2025. I’m now looking at diving fully into FF mirrorless with the R5 to replace my 5D - but also looking for a fun, light, casual camera body. I’ve narrowed it down to a (dare i say) Sony 7CR. I would really love for Canon to have something similar but I just don’t see anything.

I figured I’d post this here in the event that there may be some knowledge regarding Canon exploring a FF system like this. I looked at the RP, but it was still a little too large for pocketing, and am hesitant to use as a travel camera from reviews on poor battery life.

Photography would be the main use for me, video is bonus.

Hi, carrrrrlos and everyone!
Just like you I went through two Canon F-1, one F-1n, A1, T90, RT, 7D and so on till today with Canon R6 II and Canon R7. Multiple lenses, FD and RF. But nowadays weight starts being a problem to my back

. So, I also am looking for a everyday pocket size camera with FF priority or at least APS-C sensor. I only consider two brands: Canon or Fuji. From the latter, the only under consideration for the purpose is Fujifilm X-M5.

Till the end of the year (expecting something "new" from Canon), I'll have to decide between that Fuji or... which Canon would someone advise? Any of the present cameras suits (R50V? as for Carrrrrlos "Photography would be the main use for me, video is bonus". The features of the X-M5 and its weight are fine. But I wonder if Canon will make a FF similar to that (even with a few milimetres extra) or, if your thoughts are that the answer is NO, if R50V will match Fuji's.

Thanks Carrrrrlos for your thread and to all those that have already been participating and helping. I only added a small extra point with the Fuji X-M5 in challenge.

Woooooow, finally, the announcement of the RF 200 - 500 with brand new Built-In 1.4 BIG WHITE teleconverter is rumored to be held this week on April 1st. Outstanding!!!

Even better news. It will weigh 2.25 kg / 5 lbs and cost $5,000.

Any pre-orders placed on 1 April will be delivered by 1 May or the lens will be free.

Happy April Fool’s everyone.

Incidentally, I think I'll pick up Canon's current solution to use with the PowerShot V1 when it arrives. One of my use cases for it will be for video when I want something smaller than the HF G60 camcorder, and a hotshoe-mounted mic delivers better sound quality than the built-in ones.

Unfortunately the in built microphones' fidelity rarely matches the great video quality the new cams produce.

I once had a nifty Lumix GX80/85 MFT cam. Great video, ibis and all - but absolute garbage audio and not even a mic in. It was quite frustrating.

Great shots. Those headers are lovely, and the emotion in the group/hugging shot at the end is perfect.

Maximilian · Mar 30, 2025

Some more wide open at f/2.8.
Focus on the reeds to the left. Both photos again from the same position.

R50+18-50, @18mm, f/2.8, 1/4000, ISO100

R50+18-50, @50mm, f/2.8, 1/800, ISO100

It seems @Richard CN has returned to write about rumors on his own canonnews site.
It was fun while it lasted having both Craigs rumors and Richards technical writings here. I hope they are still friends

Now it's back to follow two sites for my Canon-fix ...

PS. I have no luck registering to do comments or use the contact-form on canonnews. So I contacted him via PM here on CR. I hope he sees it

We defiantly need in firmware update person registration priority. That should be a standard in R6 MIII. I mean, we need a photo camera first to be operational correctly..

I can confirm about RF100-400, I bought it two years ago, and for the money, size, and weight, it's great! I regret waiting so long, but that's another story.

It's one of Canon's bargain lenses.

Your mistake! As a blindly loyal Canon fanboi, you intentionally misread the charts, not willing to accept the universal truth that a brilliant Sony lens cannot be beaten by a vulgar low category Canon VCM lens.
Don't be blindly loyal to a brand!
I will order this crappy VCM lens myself, being a low-quality fanboi!

No, no, no. The Sony lens is only $900, the Canon lens costs almost twice as much. So even if the Canon lens is better, it's a fail as far as value goes. Oh, ignore the 2/3-stop wider aperture. It's not like there's a full stop difference, it's only 2/3-stop and it's not like the Sony 85/1.4 costs more than double the 85/1.8. No, no, no.

Aren't fanbois fun?
