A compact full-sized medium format camera.
Now I have seen everything.

I believe it is fixed, I haven't been able to make it happen again. Please let me know if you see it again.

I confirm that I'm NOT seeing it again, as it now; thanks.

Of course they announce this a week after I bought a C70........
This was the lens I was wanting, too.

Your R7 probably has serious QC issue on the R7, either Canon should fix it completely (for free ofc). Or swap a new R7.

If you are going to buy another one. Wait for R5ii instead?

Insta360 is proud to announce the highly anticipated Insta360 GO 3, the latest iteration of its groundbreaking tiny action camera. The tiny but mighty GO 3 takes on-the-go capturing to new heights, building upon the ultra-portability of its predecessor with unparalleled versatility. Truly tiny, the camera comes in smaller than thumb size and weighs in

Having used the Godox V860IIC for quite a bit, I'd like to see macro flash using a battery, but at half the cost of the MT26-EX.

Will you look at that... I take a break from the rumor mill for a few months and am already behind the times! Thanks for the update!

This has been a huge inconvenience for me, that only a new update with clog2 can fix...

I am shooting real estate videos. And when shooting a house, it just has to work. When shooting outside or inside, I want the settings to accommodate that. But when In a particular room, say a room on the north side of the house (no sunshine and always darker), and I have an ISO of 6400, I want the camera to reach the lowest aperture first.

Real-estate videos are quickly made without a lot of production. So I want the most optimal settings. And when I have a different Aperture per room, I do not mind.

Best advice I can give is to take the tripod collar off the lens and chuck it in the waste bin.

I had an RF 70-200 bite the dust when that stupid collar popped open and the lens and camera fell to the floor. Canon ended up replacing the lens for free because they were unable to repair it. I think really they know the tripod collar has a design flaw.

When I got the new 70-200 from Canon I immediately took the tripod collar off and put it in a box. Recently I had to shoot a runway show and wanted to have the 70-200 on a monopod for a little extra stability. So I pulled that awful tripod collar out of the closet and put it on at the show. When I was packing up and going to unscrew the monopod from the tripod collar (which was attach to the camera) it again popped open and the camera and lens went falling to the ground.

By the grace of god I somehow caught them and prevented another disaster.

In my opinion the RF tripod collars which swing open under the weight of the camera should be recalled. They are flawed and your lens and camera is at risk using them.

I bet anything when these lenses start getting revised that design will be replaced.

In close I should mention the design of the EF tripod collars was pretty much bulletproof, impossible to come off when the lens and camera were connected.

Thanks Click

Thank you...

I just purchased the R6 MARK II yesterday. Trying to get my head wrapped around its new features/changes. I tried the HF flicker but not sure. I am a sports shooter and shoot at 1/1000 wonder if camera will adjust for that speed?

I think some of you are forgetting some of the amazing ef-s glass than canon DID release
Yes, the 17-55 is widely known and respected. I have it and I’m not a fan
But let’s not forget the STM triplets 10-18,18-55 & 55-250
Or
Ef-s 24 pancake
Ef-s 35mm macro
Ef-s 60mm macro
Ef-s 15-85 usm
I own all those plus the others that rarely get mentioned 18-135stm, 18-200usm.
Also have all the ef-m lenses too
They are all bloody good.

It’s a shame canon dropped the M system. The missing M7 combining the best of the M6ii and M50ii would have been sweet as would a few more fast primes. The ef-m 32/1.4 is just incredible.

The R5/R6ii and RF L glass is more than I’m prepared to pay - not so much that I can’t afford it, I simply just can’t justify it - there is a difference!!

Recently picked up a used boxed pristine 7artisans 35/1.4 I’m currently using it on my M50, works great. I also have a used 7artisans 25/1.8 arriving tomorrow too
Both were ridiculously cheap so no damage to the wallet

I’m now tempted to buy a used cheap 7artisans 55/1.4 mkii as well, but
I have several 50mm inc a few non canon.
My question is would the 55mm 7artisans give me something that my canon 50/1.4 usm cannot??

My worry is that focusing the 25 & 35 manually is easy, however, the 55 is almost equivalent to 90mm (88mm) in FF and at 1.4 the DoF is gonna be crazy thin, I’m just wondering given the M50 has eye focus if I’m better off sticking with my canon ef50/1.4 ?

Optically would there be much difference ?

Any advice?

Camera aesthetics are about as "modern" as their WIFI. Canon is the Jeep of cameras. Purely functional but not exactly stylish.

That is your respectable point of view, yet,a bit risky to compare Leicas with poorly assembled 4X4s.
I do really like their aesthetics, the tactile quality, the ergonomics, the menu, far less the limited choice of lenses, their WIFI and their horrible prices...
Unfortunately, you can no longer adapt Canon EF lenses, this means no T&S, no luminous teles, and, sadly, no macro ring-flash (unless in manual mode). The re-badged Nissin strobes cost twice as much...

[Following was originally posted in "CR Pro General Board", but I think this is the right/better place to post it...]


It started by I spotted this thread discussing rumors and the CR rating system going from CR1 to CR5 !

As an old user on CR, I knew the CR1-CR5 rating system was very old and had been replaced by CR0-CR3 ratings many years ago.

But it was really hard to find proof of that! I started clicking around on the CR-site to find description of ratings. No success at all.

Then tried searching CR and found only the old CR1-CR5 ratings.

Finally I found the CR0-CR3 description via WaybackMachine to the old design of CR-site where page describing current rating-system was easy to spot. And that gave me some words to search for. But via Google! The page doesn't seem to be indexed in CR's own search engine!?:


So I think the CR-site needs an update to make it easy to spot/find the information about the rating-system. Right now it is practically impossible to find the correct version.

Don't forget the bundled mic and tripod/handle/remote, which are essentially free in this package.

Four friends who did the switch to Sony have the 200-600 and love it. Now Nikon. I use two R3s, but have to admit Z9 and some of the Z lenses are looking good.

I messed up and dropped my 70-200mm 2.8 MKII now it won’t zoom in or out an stuck at 90mm. I sent it off to Canon and they quoted $1000! Originally quoted $500. I have never heard of this issue so therefore I haven’t been able to find any information on how to fix it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

If you have enough "points", you should have joined CPS Gold. For $100/year it gets you 20% off repairs and free return FedEx shipping. The $227 you'd have saved would more than offset the $100, and you'd have it for the next year if you needed to send anything else in. Even for the $500 quote, CPS Gold would have saved you $127 for a $27 net savings.

I used to have a lot of R3 lockups. I ended up changing settings so it wouldn't go into sleep mode, and haven't had issues since. I haven't had any battery drain issues either, so I'm pleased.

Just read on a Facebook group that Canon Support have said this firmware is in the process of being pulled and a new one will be available with the fix some time in the future.

Its been pulled. It was listed as 6/15

In defense of TIPA, they only award good products from good companies.
They just go out of their way to make up categories so every company gets at least one award.

I was actually signed up for the Fripp master class in Tokyo in fall '94 but my company transferred me to Zurich. I was ROYALLY pissed but looking back it was for the best. I like how my style evolved by itself, free of Fripp's influence. Login to view embedded media I'm pretty sure that class turned into the League of Crafty Guitarists.
