The SX60 HS was introduced so long ago - 15 September 2014. When is the replacement coming, any rumors or suggestions? Do you think they will reach 100x Zoom

Yep. Perceived market value is a thing

Canon proves that Liveview AF is superior to OVF in low light condition.

Looking forward to see this mechanism be implentated in further DSLRs.

Just as a quick reply - the capture lens comes with two caps (similar to body caps) for the capture lens component when no lens is mounted.

<p>All of the new Canon gear is ready for preorder. The EOS M5 is expected to begin shipping at the end of October, while the EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM is likely to come in December.</p>

Is that a typo about the release date? Everyone is saying end of November, not October.

I am also interested in the Fotodiox solution. So far it looks like the most professional and well built solution. I have it in my Amazon wish list for my Samyang/Rokinon 14mm Lens. But want to find more information about the filters optical quality before taking the plunge..

Which filter?

Panasonic has just announced three very impressive sounding cameras and one of them shoots 6k!

Panasonic GH5, LX10 and G85.

http://www.digitaltrends.com/photography/panasonic-post-focus-photkina-2016/

Must say that LX10 looks very nice and is supposed to fit in most jean pockets, similar to the RX100 Mark IV.

The flagship model (GH5), set to arrive in mid-2017, ups the video capture capability to 6K at 30fps and brings 10-bit, 60fps shooting at 4K.

Interesting times.

I guess you can't "install Instagram" to it but you can install an Instagram uploader to it... just like many other WiFi-equipped Canon bodies.

Lol - sorry I was trying to be tongue in cheek! I don't care about uploading to social media direct from camera, though there are no doubt those who do. Didn't realise there were uploaders available - thanks for sharing.

Yeah, I know

Just found it particularly funny because with Canon you actually can (heh). You can register various social media accounts using the EOS Utility. To upload you need WiFi of course as the cameras don't have cellular connectivity.

Does anybody produce a Sony A lens to Canon M mount adapter ?

Some great points and it looks like most are in agreement , for the record HDEW has the 5d3 for £1595 and its on the front page of the site, I think a lot of people will be buying them up now though so if your thinking about it wise to get one soon.

The point was made that the 5d4 will give you larger prints , not sure how that works for anyone else- I have had 25 foot advertising hoardings printer from my 5d3 and the results were fantastic, most of my customers want nowhere near that size and landscape prints tend to die out at A3 A2 in orders , wedding photos hardly ever reach more than A2 and lets face it if print size was the priority I would be buying a 5Ds or 5Dr. Oh yes and more pixels = larger file size = more storage cost !

What sort of flash are you using? I have 86 inch PLM's http://paulcbuff.com/plm-softsilver.php which I use with Einsteins. No rotation or sag issues there. Main thing to watch when using the big 86 inch is having the setup on a strong lightstand with a nice wide footprint. Have an assistant stand there with it if you're working outdoors. It's a sail. The slightest breath of wind will knock it over.

If you're using a speedlight setup, then the H-Type Umbrella Holder that Besisika has pointed to is a perfect, inexpensive suggestion. I use these holders with Godox AD360's with umbrellas. Simple, effective and not too heavy in your bag.

Someone made an actual review!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cRL_rSyXoY

Sounds like it's pretty much the same as Sigma's past cameras, maybe with better menus, except the software crashed.

I'd be interested to see what the APS-H version can do, but it looks like the camera writes to the card really, really slowly. Being able to shoot only 10 frames per minute might even hinder shooting Macro from a Tripod.

The fog affects the image by reducing the contrast, and sharpness. The fog not distinguish at the pixel level, and should not affect no more, no less, as the amount of megapixel increases.

Whereas 5D Mark IV has the ability to enlargement more than Mark iii, you may find that the 30 megapixel are a waste. That's just a perception, based on solving capacity "idle" and not a real difference between Mark iii, and Mark iv.

Hi! I'm curious- what's your experience with the buffer? The reason I ask is that Bryan Carnathan has reported getting a much deeper buffer than specified by canon. Does that correlate with what you get?

http://www.the-digital-picture.com/News/News-Post.aspx?News=18912

Click to expand...

If you do exactly what Bryan describes, then yes. But read what he says carefully: The lens cap remained on (insuring a black file and the smallest file size)

With the lens cap on I'm getting raw files of 26MB. The general photos I've taken so far range from 29MB right up to 56MB - the 56MB one being in the rain so lots of fine details.

Simplistically extrapolating from his numbers - 36 frames @ 26MB gives a buffer just under 1GB. If your photos happen to come out at 56MB then you'd be down to a buffer depth of 16 or 17 frames with this admittedly simplistic view.

The CF card has a hard limit at 167MB/s, you can't clear the buffer any faster than that. So to some degree the buffer depth depends on what your image contains and the depth, measured in number of shots, will vary.

For actual photos of something other than the inside of a lens cap I'm getting around the 22/23 mark with resulting raw file sizes around 38MB

At a guess, the buffer is somewhere around 400-500MB given how fast you can write the buffer to the card.

Righteooo, yes I read carefully what he did. That's what he almost always does in his buffer tests. I just kind of assumed that the manufacturer's specified buffer would have been best-case scenario, which apparently is not the case. It's encouraging to know their figures are a little more realistic than I expected. Done any tests to see what it's like in real life?
Cheers!

You may refer to the comment on 80D

It is incredibly intellectually dishonest to keep spamming that link when you know well that Mr. Reid later publicly recanted his original knee-jerk reaction...

Does anybody know a web site that would be appropriate to write a petition to Canon? Change.org maybe? I know it may sound a little bit crazy, but can all 1dx2 and 5dm4 owners ask Canon to add h.264 / 4k support via a firmware update? Or should I see a doctor myself?

Why h.264?!?

One needs h.265. All programs already support it. No need from a previous generation codec.

Mt Spokane Photography · Sep 17, 2016

Make sure you are turning on the view points in the playback menu, there is also a setting in the menu for taking photos, so one or the other or both can be turned on.

There are two holes in the front of the prism assy (You still have to do some disassembly to get to them. They are there to allow you to blow debris out of that area. But, they don't help if its stuck on.

I'm not sure if this customization was in the 5D-III:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_R77Gs8Q6E

If it was then it was well enough hidden that I never found it in 3 years of owning the camera. Either way I know now why the Fro was raving about the feature. It's pretty darn awesome!

Click to expand...

Just checked on my 5D MkIII. Unfortunately and unsurprisingly it's not available. Then checked the 7D MkII. Yes, it's there and it's awesome! What a great feature. This could swing me to a 5D MkIV.

Yeah, it's such a great feature. No need for me to waste a whole custom mode for an alternative AF setup, and it's all in thumb range. Now I understand why the Fro was blown away with the feature.

Wow. Checked the video. Very interesting. I already made * button for the hail mary in any situation settings (1/200 min-AF A-ISO AI-Servo All-AF-points), but I might change AF-On to one of those. And DoF too, I never use it anyway.

Canadian pricing as follows:

M5 body - $1250
15-45 kit - $1400
18-150 kit - $1700

More than I had hoped, but given the current FEX rate, it's fair vs USD pricing.

Reference: http://www.canon.ca/inetCA/en/newsroom/method/getPress/pid/2296

Click to expand...

Where did you get $1700 for the 18-150 kit? With current exchange rates plus the very small 5% tax in Alberta your looking at a price tag just over $2000.... .
In a province with higher tax it'll be much closer to a $2300 price tag.

It's in the link I provided

I seen that, I'm hoping that its an accurate price cause it'll be much easier to sell them at that price.

Great Experiment, thanks for sharing.

Hi Chasing light.
Thanks for sharing, great bruise he collected there. I think the problem is that the pilots were highly experienced display pilots, not new top guns eager to make a statement. ;D (Or devil may care stunt pilots)
A neat little bit of experimentation.

Cheers, Graham.

yeah i guess they were concerned with staying alive more than the photo ;D
