Why are people so excited about an aps-c camera that's gonna be bigger than the M system, both body and lenses? Why not just go full frame? I don't get it.

Cost. Birders. Sports. Etc.

Some other Canon logics:

Let’s make the R6, 20 mpixels - 2400 euro’s.
Let’s make the R3, 24 mpixels - 6000 euro’s.
Let’s make the R6II 24 mpixels ..

Wonder what R3 owners might feel right now.

Canon EOS M200, 24 Mpixels - 569,00 €

I see Canon rebates-discounts on EF-M (as though they are getting ready for clearance?), and 3rd party Sigma and Rokinon EF-M lens, then this appears. I don't get it.

To come back to the OP's original question, I had an RF 24-105/4L become decentered. The Canon repair centre diagnosed a faulty IS module. Repair was about 2/3 the price of the lens.
I hope you simply have a faulty switch.

This is not a bug. When the subject in low light the camera will momentarily brighten up to acquire focus, and once it gets it, it goes back to the live preview, showing you how the photo will turn out.

And still no Pre-Record

The ones I have dealt with all were honest, as best I can tell.

I must confess I also met at least one, who was honesty in person.

It is cute though!

I had to send my R5 in for assistance for some pixels burnt on the sensor and they told me that in addition to those, there are errors in the internal memory (??)

anything similar happened to anyone?

the R5 apart from the burnt pixels, seemed to work fine ...

Thanks

Canon has released new firmware for the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III. This is a pretty minor update, but a recommended one.
Firmware Version 1.6.2 incorporates the following fixes:

Fixes an issue that, in rare cases, displays an Error Code 70 after the camera has been connected to a network for a prolonged period of time.
Fixes minor issues.

Anyone else buy an Arsenal 2? I bought one, and am having trouble getting it to do anything even close to as nice as in the promo stuff... Anyone else try one?

Canon RAW Light and Cinema RAW Light are different,

Click to expand...

correct. Raw light is only for full width ie for 8k.
You can see the IPB (light) options for 8k IPB, 4K/60, 4k/30, HD/60, HD/30 etc.
Am I missing something?? If so, what is the codec used for the compression?

This video also gives a better perspective into how ASML won the lithography race:

Click to expand...

Interesting video but it doesn't really address who are Canon/Nikon's current customers and why they still have a toehold in the current market. They could be selling to China as ASML isn't able to for instance. I was intrigued to discover than basically all the ASML lithography machines ever made are still in use and maintainable. That is remarkable.

Anyone know who makes the stacked/BSI sensor chips - is it just Canon and Sony?
I would assume that Canon does its own lithography for them so in that respect they would be a leader in that niche. I wonder if they sell the lithography machines to Sony

It seems that the only other stacked chips in production are memory chips

B&H Photo has a few things for the EOS R system in their used department. All of the pricing seems to take into consideration the recent instant rebates from Canon USA.

Is there any reason this wouldn’t work with an EF to R adapter?

Click to expand...

EF-S lenses had the long SLR film-to-flange distance (I think 44mm?) and just need a spacer adapter to fit on RF (I think 20mm?)
In contrast EF-M lenses from the M line of interchangeable-lens mirrorless cameras had a film-to-flange distance of I think 16mm, anyway, shorter than the RF. You can't really make an adapter that lets you mount the lens closer than the RF flange as it'd have to "reach into" the RF camera bodies. That's not a technical impossibility but the entire lens would have to stick into the RF body and while the mount is big, I'm sure it's too small to allow any EF-M lens to be sunk into the body, and therefore such an adapter couldn't be made.

Those are the older (and more expensive) versions of their Gold range and are available now or in some cases sold out. Note there is no mention of a 2TB card. The newer version has the same basic specs but was significantly cheaper. Their website is a mess, if you look at the Overview page, they show 4 verisons of the "Gen2" Gold cards, two with the higher 400MB/s minimum write speed but you don't know which one is being sold and if there are other differences.

Maybe this will replace the Fuji 100S on my aspirational list as the camera I would buy if I were buying a camera. I can afford not to spend $8100 about as well as not spending $6K. (Plus lenses)

There is the option to use a automatic macro rail, sadly not a cheap one.

Click to expand...

And as you get toward macro range, you are likely not to want to move the focus, and change magnification, or rather set the magnification with the focus ring and then move the camera to focus on what you want. That becomes even more important with stacking. I'm not likely ever to need a motorized rail, but I can imagine how that might be handy.

I've always been afraid of getting a printer for this reason. Sadly I'll just keep using labs Hope you find the issue!

I really didn't want this post to be something to dissuade anyone from doing their own printing if they can swing the initial cost. Because, yes I am having some issues right now, but I owned a PRO-1000 before this since around 2017 and it was great, and I have had this since I think 2019 and it has mostly been very good.

Not only that, but seriously the ink and paper costs doing it yourself are somewhere around 10-20% of the cost a good photo lab would charge. So even if you encounter issues, honestly you can screw up multiple prints and still be ahead of the cost of doing it at a lab. I also was just never super happy with the results I was getting from a lab. Sometimes it was almost good, but I really like having the control over everything myself, and being able to make my own call about when I want to do a re-print, compared to getting something from a lab and accepting it even if it's not quite what I want because I don't want to ask for a re-print for something that is so close to being good, but not quite.
