The hood won't fit over my Marumi filter attached to the lens. Presumably need a slim one. Same on the RF 800/11.

No problem with my filter, a B + W f-pro, its metal frame is slim enough.

It’s REALLY hard not to look at this camera and go “Craig, it’s my birthday!” (which it actually is tomorrow) For $5000 – that’s a lot of camera. Preorder from our fine friends at B&H Photovideo here, or our other friends who are still trying to scramble from the copy / paste specifications on the

My wedding anniversary is tomorrow, so I showed this to my wife. I think she is still chuckling.
For an anniversary gift, she is willing to paste the Fujifilm logo on my Canon gear.

Someone at Adorama was either about to get fired and knew it, or about to say, "Take this job and shove it".

It is disappointing that Canon is leaving the camera market: "We will definitely be publishing the exiting stuff soon."

If Canon doesn't stop making it, it would sell more the next few years. Such as PowerShot SX740 HS, the selling is no. 1 in Japan.

Canon announces the development of the Canon RF R1, the long-awaited flagship for the RF system. Not much to see from YouTube, hopefully Canon will put more more as the times on.

Ah yes, life was simpler before calculators. I still have my engineering slide rule from back in the day when 1 or 2 digits and a power of 10 was sufficient for a lot of things and 3 digits was a stretch. My neighbor in the concrete business lamented customers with their plotted plans that expect concrete poured to quarter-inch tolerances when the forms will bow more than that.

Even now, most people I run into want things in relatable, ballpark terms like 750 or 800, not 776. The details usually come out only when comparing detailed specifications, and most of the time there really isn't a significant difference.

I treat all focal lengths and f-stops as "around x". Life is easier this way.

Many of us are not "most people" when it comes to the technical details of our photography equipment.

How many of the 5,926,733 shipped in 2022 and the 5,998,913 ILCs shipped last year were bought by wildlife photographers? I’m curious how ‘massive’ the wildlife photography market is and how much growth in it is occurring. Looking forward to seeing the data on which you base your claim.


Anecdotes are nice. Since Canon hasn’t lost their nearly 50% market share, I question the relevance of this and similar anecdotes.

Click to expand...

I think it's nearly impossible for us to say because we have some great photographers sharing photos here using even the RF 100-400 and on up. Some people are going to have multiple wildlife lenses while others will only use one. We can be confident the manufacturers know much more than we do.

We can expect some people decided to choose Canon for the RF200-800 or the RF100-400. I'd wager how many is at least in the same range as the number of people who switched to a different manufacturer.

I can't imagine it matters very much because many of us are already impressed with what we have and as we often mention, once someone has a relatively significant number of high-priced lenses, switching camera mounts becomes less appealing.

In this patent application (2024-063513), Canon is looking at improving the subwavelength coatings for optical elements. In an optical system constituted by optical elements, reflection of incident light on the surface and inner surface of the optical element is undesirable because it causes a loss in the amount of transmitted light and reflection ghosts. Therefore,

I'd only consider the Canon high MP body if it had dynamic range near the GFX system, but may not be possible on a FF sensor.

Everything you wrote up to this one sentence is no longer relevant. All KB-Sensors could not reach the gain of a medium format sensor. The pixels have a greater diameter and the pixelspace is geater. All of them are related to the performance values like S/N-Ratio and Sensivity.
I would like to have a 60MP resolution on a ff format sensor in a body like the R5. Wenni compare the 5Ds with the R5 pictures like doing macro photos, the 5ds pictures looks more naturaly that the R5. I own both and some other canons. The R5 hase some advantages. The sensivity is higher, the noise is quite less and the EVF is an advantage for me if i am do macros. I can see the motiv outdoor even the sun is bright. The OVF digital systems are designed and optimized for the automatik focus use-case. Manual focus operation is not good supported. The all misses a traditional focus screen. for bodies like 5DM4, 5Ds and later, this is not available to buy and mount as an add-on.
And yes, all the lenses needs to be in good quality too, if the sensor resolutes more than 50MP., to so the advantage on the picture at the developing process.
Canon had decide to be an expensive system. I yould not buy Canon again, as long they not license their RF Mount to third-party lense buildes like Sigma.
Actually they had done this but only for the APS-C Systems. I assume, they don't want to build better lenses for APS-C and let Sigma and Tamron doing this.
The next System will be a Sony A7R5 or newer. Actual, my R5 and the R are the two bodies i use in most cases. I have all lenses that i require - EF-Mount mit Converter of course.

Finally a proper 1:1 macro for ‘medium’ format!

They're nice. It is easier to visualize how a white flower will look. Solid colors can sometimes be different from what I thought and flowers with multiple colors might be really different. It does make me consider buying a nice set of colored filters.

Pretty cheap, if you ask me.

Well that's pretty cool... maybe it deserves a mention on the site. Thanks for sharing.

IIRC, the camera refuses to do any lens update if it sees a current/old camera firmware on any card. Ironically, you have have as many old lens firmware on the card and it doesn't do anything.

Click to expand...

Just shove the old firmware files into a (sub)folder, leaving only the new firmware in the root of the card. At least it works consistently with my R3.

And yes, I'm a FW hoarder as well.

For real? If so, I'm surprised, they have no reason unless the license fees are astronomical which limits the ability for 3rd party prices to be reasonable.

What is additionally interesting is that this very careful and reliable site explains how they coped with the problems from a long focal length. I suspect certain other sites are not as careful in their IMATESTs with supertelephotos, explaining why there is sometimes variation in reported values.

It’s definitely challenging. The charts I use (same ones used by Bryan/TDP) come in several sizes down to 10x18 cm but all with the same resolution when framed correctly. Those smaller charts are the only reason I can test my 600mm with TCs in my house, where my longest sight line is ~20 m.
