Found this video from making of Blue Planet showing Canon gear in use.

I have a 6D and a couple of older Canon crop cameras. I wanted to upgrade the T2i and the 77D makes for a small and sharp travel camera. I bought the 77D a month ago. The image quality is better than the older crop cameras, and the features are better than on the T2i. It makes me want to sell the 60D and T2i.
If you want the best low light performance, the 6D is hard to beat. If you want a smaller body with a tilt screen, top view screen and the features of the 77D, it is a deal right now. If you want a crop body, I would go for the 77D if you want a small body or the 80D if you want to spend a bit more and get a larger camera with more features. The 77D has a good feature set and works well, especially at the current pricing.

An insane mix of both like mine I guess , lol

I have an 80D (and some other cameras).

This feature / functionality is only found in the M5 (and M50) - i.e. where the touchscreen can be used to move the AF point when eye is pressed to the EVF (and EVF is one). Once you get used to it, that works very well - quick and precise.

Eos R has this functionality as well.

I’ve not had extreme success with the R plus RF50 for tracking faster’ish action, so I tried the RF85 tracking my son on his scooter, kicking away down a small hill, and it was very, very accurate wide open. Out of 15 shots I had two that was slightly off his face and locked on his shirt, but the other were all on his face. After quite intense testing with RF85 I find it better for AF than the RF50. Neither can track fast back and forth movement, and will completely loose focus on those playground items where for example a horse sits on a huge spring on the ground one can rock back and forth on. I tested on those since I had a reference with the 1dx2 there. The 35 L II with 1dx2 was very good, but far from perfect. The 24-70 II was best with 200 f2 and 70-200 II close second.

But when it comes to accuracy for everything else the R blows the 1dx2 out of the water with fast lenses.

Pan the scene and stitch - problem solved - make full use of this digital era

The Tamron 45/1.8 is a beautiful lens. I have the 85/1.8 too and that is also excellent but in a much more clinical way. However somehow I just don't feel the same about Tamron zooms. I've never had one but of course as this is the Internet it doesn't stop me from being highly opinionated about it

I’m lazy. I don’t like doing much in post but... since you recommended it, I’ll give it a try next time I’m out, and see how it works out.

Never had a Tamron prime, but have had 3 of the zooms and liked them all (but never loved). I am, however, really liking the newer 17-35 as a high quality and very light travel wide angle. Got more photos with it that I like than my canon 11-24, simply because it’s half the weight and size, so I’m much more likely to carry it with me.

I reported the 'magnify to original size at AF point' issue to Canon as a bug.

Glad they listened to me

Apparently, it never worked before in live view. So given that the R is basically just a live view 5D4, it wasn't there at launch. I wonder if others complained too? I used the feature exclusively on my 5D3 and 5D4's so I am very glad they 'fixed' this. My workflow is restored.

Two more things left:

1 - Allow a RAW file to be written to the card AND wirelessly transferred
2 - Allow exposure preview while a flash/transmitter is in the hotshoe

Then I'd be completely satisfied...

Luckily a lot of us reported the magnifying issue

Raw files transfer would be excellent since I have Lr on my phone and I’m not sending away no OOC jpeg

If you are not doing sport , birding or chasing the kids, mirrorless will be good for you. Whether you want a R or M is is another personal choice. If you are concern about weight, the M is a better choice, due to the size of the weight of the R lenses ( they are better than the M lenses). I switched from 40D+ 20D to M+M2, and later M2+M50 . My major (95%) use for them is travelling. I have never look back. The strength of M is light weight, small size and reasonable priced lenses with good performance. you can have native lenses( mostly zoom lens) from 11 mm to 200 mm. that should be more than enough for most people as a travel camera. The 22 mm 2.0 EF-M is an excellent little lens.

Wives not liking to have their photos taken reminds me of this video I saw once. Portrait photographer Sue Bruce "encourages you to exist in photographs for your children, for yourself, and for the people who love you."

Yeah, I saw the promo code email from B&H, but i read it too late and it expired. They had the 24-105 at $799. I’d settle for $899 hah.

Just hang in there. You'll see it discounted again. Good luck

Interesting. I have been following the Sony Forums closely on the lens. There are several complaints that the lens is too heavy and a monopod is required, but that is clearly not your experience and opinions obviously vary. Playing around with Sony bodies in the store, I think I would find them too small, just as I find the 100-400mm on the M5 very difficult compared with the 7D/5D series. Some of the shots on the 200-600mm flickr group https://www.flickr.com/groups/14620456@N20/pool/with/48364766576/ seem very sharp. But, some of the images birds in flight that you can download, especially the swallows, are pretty grim. But, they might be because of bad technique. Some, like Alex Phan who is well known in the birding field, have returned the lens because the AF is not good enough for their extremes of BIF. Everyone has different requirements for AF, and if it's good enough for you, then that is great. Enjoy your Sony + lens!

Well, the lens is heavy, but sometimes I shoot with the 600L II handheld, too. So, this does not matter for me (by now). But it is well balanced and the plus is, that the tube does not extend - so the balance is stable
I will use the lens on longer walks, where the 5DIV/1DXII&600mmII combo is to large/heavy. Ad the quality of my shots is quite a little bit lower than the pro´s like Mr. Phan . So the lower AF speed is ok. The pics on this website are really pleasing - I think I´ve to learn really a lot where to get such good shots (and birds)
But most times, I´m struggling witht he menu of the 7´s...

Still waiting for Canon´s answer....

Well, the motorwinder of the EOS 3 produces indeed an awesome loud noise, but otherwise it is one of the most advanced 35 mm film cameras I ever used. My vintage Canon 7 is technically the opposite, it is a bit like shooting a Leica M3 - a very puristic experience. I like that. Canon btw made in the late 1950s-1960s some beautiful lenses for its last rangefinder series. Oh yeah, Canon once was a ML camera maker for decades

don't believe for one second there will ever be phones with APS-C sensors, not even m43. physically simply too large, especially optical lens and cooling needs (for video)

i do look forward to Canon M5 mk. II at $ 899 beating Fuji X-T3 and M50 Mk II at $ 599.

both with same, greatly improved sensor and digic, even better AF system. M5 II with beefier grip and LP-E6N power pack for 400+ shots. M5 II with ultra-compact form factor and pop-up EVF (G5X II style).

only care for stills performance, video features totally irrelevant to me, I never record videos.

I‘ld like to see the camera in real life and this aint happening unless are you talking about IBC2019?

Aussie shooter said:

Oh. Definitely skeptical about the m62 specs but if they are even close i will be impressed .

I am optimistic about the sensor though.

We have heard numerous times now that the new APS-C cameras will shoot 4k without any additional crop. That alone points to Canon having made a big step in the right direction. And it could make those high Framerate claims somewhat realistic.

Also,why would talk about a new 24 MP sensor have come up at all? That only makes sense if the tech changed a good bit. Nobody but Canon refers to sensors as new if we've already seen ones with similar performance in previous models.

Was DPAF ever the best AF on the market? I sense that many video users like it, but anecdotally most times I see people using cameras which have DPAF, they use the off-sensor unit. Maybe that’s because they like me prefer using a viewfinder to using the rear screen, but even in cases where great AF is a primary concern (e.g., sports) one sees traditional PDAF being used far more frequently.

It’s big, but I would’ve thought it would be heavier. It feels lighter almost than the 50, probably because it looks quite a bit bigger.

After a few days my wife said "This is the 50, right?" while taking pictures when it was the 85. Even on the RP it doesn't feel that big or heavy, even if it looks cartoonish.

The advantages I see of the G7x3.
...
- Better perceived image quality. I haven't seen an improvement at all from the Rx100 IV to the VI, and it doesn't sound like the VII improved here either. Therefore, since the Canon has a brighter lens image quality should appear better, even though the sensor quality is the same. However, the Rx100 IV has a similar lens to the G7x3, so I expect the quality to look pretty similar.

How do you figure the Canon will have better image quality? The consensus I've seen pretty much everywhere is that the RX series have better lens quality and sharpness than the G7X II. The review on dpreview of the G7X II noted significant sample to sample variation.

dpreview said:

The lens is a big part of image quality and, as with all enthusiast compacts, there is a lot of variation camera-to-camera. Even if your camera has one of the best lenses in the batch, its performance may not be consistent throughout the focal range. One of our G7 X's had good corner sharpness but was soft at its telephoto end, while the second one was just the opposite. We've generally found this lens design, found in both the G7 X and G5 X as well, to be weak at the wider focal lengths relative to the RX100 cameras from Sony.

Has anyone heard about Kodak Coin lately? Though I'm a follower of several cryptocurrency blogs, I haven't read about it for a long time. Frankly speaking, I wasn't sure it would become popular in the very beginning. Though I thought about Bitcoin the same way, but now it is the most popular and the most expensive cryptocurrency.

Nor are Canons. But I am assuming that CR2 had a source or reason for that opinion. So just was interested in an update if they had one.
