What about the extender and EF converter? I mean can I use my EF 70-200 F/2.8 m2 with 2x on R5m2?

Yes.

Get it while you can. B&H Photovideo has at the time of post, the Canon EOS R5 Mark II in stock. Stock may be very limited and it could go right back on backorder after the initial shipments are gone.

I'm not following the logic on how a top ten list of full frame lenses costing around $2,000 are due to ZV-E10 costing less than the R50. No one buying the apsc ZV-E10 or R50 is buying any of these expensive full frame lenses.

I didn't mean all would buy the top lens. But more cameras sale must help to sell all lens.
I saw many Japanese would spend money to expensive lens even they choose APSC camera.

i did it all and then send my camera Canon Turkey Tecnical Service. My camera's sensor is not working in full performance. They said to me it has to change with new sensor. This is not good for me...

Hello, were you able to solve error 20 on your R6 camera, I have the same problem, I changed the shutter and stabilizer and it still shows error 20, my last option is to change the sensor but I don't know if that will solve it, thanks for your response, sorry my English, my native language is Spanish.

This thread seems to have run it’s course. Thanks @neuroanatomist your DYOC scheme was good for a few laughs .

And it's just that lack of sustained interest that is why the DYOC never makes it to production...

Indeed the jpegs and HEIF files can come with or without RAW.

I just cancelled my R5 II preorder.

Right now, we are looking at 60% of people upgrading to the R5 II. I totally get that and fully reserve the right to upgrade at any point down the road if I see fit

. Better AF, more FPS, pre-capture, video features, better cooling, the list goes on. The R5 Mk I is a great camera and the R5 II is better.

As for me, I just wasn't excited after the initial euphoria. So, my simple rationale being, as a hobbyist, if something isn't exciting you, why do it? But a few more detailed thoughts kept nagging at me:

I like to "shoot to need" then buy what you need. I have very very few needs with my current set up (R5 Mk I). And while I see the R5 II as helping some of those (better AF and pre-capture), it did not feel like enough.
I was not interested in all the little stuff that goes with a primary camera body change: new L-bracket, new batteries, reading the manual, redeveloping the muscle memory (granted, they seem pretty similar), etc.
Speaking of shooting to need, of the minor "needs" I am aware of I can't stop thinking that it isn't a subtle increase in performance that I really want. Rather, I was something substantially better.
I am about to start traveling for work/vacation and the next 6 weekends booked. So, I do not have time to do a proper review if my preorder arrived later this week.

So, there you go. I just got off the "5 series" upgrade cycle (5DIII to IV, to R5). For now.

For all of you that are upgrading, enjoy and please let me know what you think!

Actually for me sounds like a software bug. And should be repairable with a simple update.

I hope that one day Canon will fix that.

Canon used to mention ‘tripod-sensing’ regarding their lenses. They’ve been silent on that feature for RF lenses. I wouldn’t hold your breath waiting for a fix. Just turn off IS when you’re on a tripod.

Viggo · Aug 19, 2024

It can’t seem to find it, does anybody have a link?

I think I saw a full breakdown over which DR the R5 and R5 mkII had in both mechanical and ES?

I just watched your Africa film, and I have to say, it really captured the essence of the place. The vibrant colors and stunning landscapes brought back memories of my own trip there a few years ago. I love how you’ve used natural sounds to complement the visuals—it adds an authentic touch.

I remember when I took a filmmaking course at a film institute in Prague; they emphasized how important storytelling is in capturing a viewer's attention, and you've done a fantastic job with that!

If I had to suggest anything, maybe consider tightening up a few transitions for smoother flow. But honestly, I think it's great as it is!

Thank you MUCH.

GREAT BUY!!!!! Just a quick note that the Amazon store has the Canon Drop-in Filter Mount Adapter EF-EOS R with Variable ND Filter (9 left) or circular polarizer filter (4 left) included on sale new for $199.00 in their Canon store. That's 50% off while supplies last. Get em while you can.

Current state of the mirrorless market in Japan

BCN-report-June-2024-Sony-takes-the-1-spot-from-Canon-in-Japan.jpg

Interestingly it seems that Nikon is picking up the most ground with their market share being around 10% in 2022. The Z8 seems to be the main catalyst for their market share increase up until June 2024. This is the same month that the Z6III was announced so I'm guessing their market share will rise a bit more considering it's a more affordable camera and will likely sell more than the Z8. I can't imagine Sony or Canon will release their competitors (R6Miii/A7V) to this camera in 2024.

Absolutely! Just about all combined scores from evaluation sites are pretty suspect as the weighting of the individual component scores is subjective, but DxO is something else. Still, we can forgive them as they have given us Prime and DeepPrime.

I'm unclear on the relationship between DxO and DxOMark. I think the business model of the latter is to sell the evaluation suite and/or data primarily to makers/consumers of small sensors (mobile, automotive, automation, security), and they measure ILC sensors because DxO has them for their software business.

Even the subscores (landscape, portrait, sports) aren't useful, and their lens scores are even worse (the latter being heavily influenced by dynamic range). Well, maybe they're useful to some people...for example, those shooting portraits in a dimly-lit warehouse (which seems to be a use case their scores emphasize, with 150 lux illumination).

Hello Everyone,

Recently we upgraded our camera to a Sony SRG-A40 4K PTZ Camera because it supports 3G signal using 3G SDI extender. This great and all, but, upon switching to full 1080p 60hz the signal kept dropping resulting in a pixelated flashing screen. We are currently utilizing multi mode fiber. The distance between the points is around 600 meters which is close to the optical extender's signal limitation. Are there any optical signal boosters so we do not require further investment in an 800 meter multimode extender kit?

Thank you,
Fredrick

Is the ultimate astro lens coming? Another RF 14-21mm f/1.4L USM mention [CR2] - Canon Rumors

I have been told to expect a “world's first” wide-angle zoom lens from Canon in the next few months, the official announcement date and shipping date are unknown at this time. The source claims that a Canon RF 14-21mm f/1.4L USM is currently being tested by select photographers. We've seen a...

That rumour was CR2!!
14 or 20mm prime would be better IMHO. I can't see a zoom being as useful though especially given the price it would command as you end up stitching in any case.
I believ that remoured lens would be more useful for live music/performance taken from in front of the stage.

I own an EOS R + 2 LP-E6N and 2 LP-E6NH.
I want to buy the R5 II.

In addition to the original EOS R charger I have a Nitecore UCN3 USB charger that charges two batteries at the same time (either connected to a normal cell phone charger or attached to a power bank): these are the specifications > https://www.nitecorestore.com/Nitecore-UCN3-Charger-for-Canon-Batteries-p/chg-nite-ucn3.htm

In theory the Nitecore is compatible with the LP-E6N But in practice it also works with the LP-E6NH. Reading the specifications do you think it will also work with the new LP-E6P?
Thx

Or check local stores and grey import.... As far as I know there's excess of 200-800 in HK.

Panamoz is selling it for the exact price I can get it for locally

And here in the Netherlands a 200-800 pops up every now and then.

I'm sure the current version of the RF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS will likely flood the used market if and when an internal focus version of this lens is released.

Oh yeah... We'll have to build a new Noah's Ark just to save ourselves from that flood.

I just had this message from Atomos support: after they had assured me it worked with R5C I got this. Cancelling my order now.

Hello Mark,
Please accept my sincere apologies for any confusion about Canon R5C compatibility.

The Shinobi II does not support camera control for any Canon C-series cameras.
This includes the C70, C200, C300 III, C400, C500 II, and any other models with a C in front of them.
This is because the Canon Cinema line cameras, such as the C70, use a completely different control protocol than the Canon EOS mirrorless cameras, which the Shinobi II supports.

Your understanding will be greatly appreciated.

So if you wanted to add constructively to my comment, you could have pointed to the European chains that are expanding, and in which countries.

@Canon Rumors Guy did point to WEX, our major on-line retailer, is expanding bricks and mortar stores in the UK, and I can confirm they have opened one in my small city.

You must be living in a tech fantasy world. Tech moves and improves fast when it is new. As it matures, advances slow. Use a TV for a year or two and then throw it away? If that is what you do then you are obviously far more well off economically than the average consumer, but are apparently gullible to tech hype. I've been working on computers since the late 1980's. It was quite necessary to upgrade our computers frequently, perhaps every 2 to 3 years in those early days. Now it maybe 10 years - or more. I believe my company has upgraded my computer twice since 2000. And we are talking about an Engineering company that needs fairly high powered computers. The reality is that computers haven't changed much in the last decade or 12 years. Nor TVs. The same thing is happening in cameras. It's OK to want or be excited about the latest tech, but small minor advances are the reality for mature tech.

That is WAY too long to keep desktop computers for production, I've worked in the IT industry for 25 years and have never let equipment go more than 5 years without replacement. After 5 years the probability of a work-stoppage failure increases dramatically. I will only keep servers in production as long as I can maintain a 4-hour mission-critical warranty on them (hardware craps out the vendor has the replacement part to you within 4 hours), once I am told I have to go to a basic hardware warranty the server gets replaced. I also disagree that computers do not change that much, there are significant changes that go deeper than processor speeds and cores. I will concede the changes were perhaps a little more significant in the earlier days of computing.
