Canon and Olympus. I wish that Canon had something similar to the Olympus TG-6.

The TG5 is one of my total. Great for snorkelling, holiday snaps in any conditions, and you could probably use it for hammering in a tent peg. Olympus does what it does very well In general. A real pity it has nearly gone under.

I think there should be a "small" R like Sigma Fp or the new Sony A7C, or maybe 2 versions :
- a more affordable APS-C
- a FF

With smartphones photography improving at every new generation the gap between phones and small affordable camera is narrowing.

Why would Canon develop such a camera if the expected selling numbers are small?

I would for sure buy a small R as a second body.

If I were looking for a aftermarket device, I'd consider a machined aluminum replacement base plate complete with weather sealing. It might even have fins or a attachment where you could apply active cooling. Getting heat out of the chassis seems to be the major issue but not the only one. There are already online kick starter projects but more people will throw money at anyone with a bunch of charts and a slick speaker. They always deliver what they promise - right?

Just wanted to share this. I scored an EOS RP, Brand New (Not Refurb), off Canon USA's site for $898 USD out the door.

I was able to stack two coupon codes which were:

L1N5YWT - 10%

XJ49WS7 - 10%

Check out the screenshot of my purchase if you don't believe.

Figured I'd share! Almost a steal at this price.

Adorama has the RF 100-500mm in stock and I just grabbed mine. It cost me $100 over B&H but I'm tired of waiting!

But then the manual would be 2700 pages...

I'm seeing some pretty good YouTube videos showing setups and menu walk-throughs. How long before the "expanded" manuals are available on Amazon?

Roberto Valenzaula has been posting some fairly thorough walk thrus of the entire menu system, one section at a time. He has a lot of explanation why he has chosen each setting. I don't always agree with his choices, but that's why we have choices.

Off topic warning: Without getting too technical, if you study sports philosophy its evident why soccer is the most popular sports in the world: because its is played all over the filed and what any given player does on either side affects the entirety of the gameplay. So all spectators can throughout the game follow and identify themselves directly with the role and actions of any of the players they choose or like - because they are all "active" in the game even when far from the ball. No other sports matches this. Basket ball for instance has players rushing from one end to the other, many other sports are played individually and again on each side of a divide etc. When Ice Hockey was dying they studied soccer and copied its most important rule; offside, that helps spread the game across the field. Ice Hocky gained hugely in popularity afterwards - so this is not just a theory. VAR btw is thus a disaster as it removes the intimacy of the game from the spectators who can love or hate the referee but have no relationship with the VAR. I believe it will be very hurtful for the game's popularity in the long term.

Yeah, but soccer doesn't have the same thrill of very real potential bodily injury.
I mean, part of the reason they watch NASCAR is for the wrecks....same for football I guess.

But seriously, to each his own....it was just an observation based on this ad having SO much screen time for soccer vs any other activity showing the cameras potential usage scenarios.

And yeah I use the Tamron 45 on my EOS RP. It produces quite pleasing images. Though the Fujifilm X 35mm 1.4 R (50mm 1.8 equivalent) is still noticeably sharper, which is shocking since it's a double-gauss design... just a very well designed double gauss.

Just FYI: There's no reason to cry doom yet. When we did see a patent for an RF 50 mm 1.8 last year, it was a Double Gauss derivative and absolutely tiny at just 3.8 cm:

Patent: Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 - Canon Rumors

The 50mm f/1.8 is a must lens for pretty much any manufacturer, and it's safe to say that Canon will be bringing this affordable prime lens to their RF mount. Canon News uncovered a patent showing multiple different designs for an RF 50mm f/1.8 Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 embodiements: Focal length...

www.canonrumors.com

I bet there's a ton of glass in various stages of design and manufacturing currently. When Canon eventually introduces a FF body below the RP price point, corresponding lenses will follow. We've seen enough patents (and with the 24-105mm 4.0-7.1 and f/11 primes, also products) to see that Canon does not shy away from compromises in aperture or optical quality to push down the price, size and weight of FF imaging.

Welp, the news today and reviews already turned me away, the eye piece is well sad. Why they didn’t go with the tiltable like the M4/3 cams they copied already

Should I use some ICC Profile in Color Management Adjust if my pics are saved in sRGB yet?

Get a shark fin style mouse. It helps tremendously with wrist fatigue. Doesn't take long for it to feel normal either.

Arer you selling them? Are you a doctor?

Don't you think I have tried a dozen different types of ergonomic mice and due to my combination of conditions, they do not work.

BTW, carpal tunnel is not wrist fatigue. I have the issue in both my hands and my forearm from pinching in my shoulders. I also have severe neuropathy in my hands.

Its better to not tell someone what will cure your situation when they know zilch about your issues or how many expert doctors they have seen and how many tests they have endured.

I'm sure this would work great on any of the Rf-mount bodies!

I rented it last year, it works great on an RP.

Why not just have water trickling down the back of the camera?
Water transfers heat very quickly
Or you could just accept the camera for what it is : worlds best stills camera which can also shoot short clips of high resolution video

I'm not disputing this. Stop being so personally offended by pointing out shortcomings and potential solutions.

I'm just saying this could be corrected in future versions of this camera, say a mark II version. I'm simply discussing ways that could bleed off heat without compromising sealing. Just making more of the camera metal wouldn't necessarily work as more metal in the body shell would have to account for more contraction/expansion which makes sealing more difficult. However a smaller spot dedicated for heat might offer a easier place to channel that heat to, and could allow for third party cooling passive or active solutions, or other external solutions as I proposed a they would not entail having a fan within the camera itself.

Maru · Sep 13, 2020

noone would accept a No IBIS camera in 2021... competitors have options with IBIS frankly.. this will be a bad idea.. I would think of adding IBIS and remove video features to get a photo only camera to reduce budget and a video only camera reducing to 12mp but again keepign IBIS

Not something I'd use a lot, but it's nice to have a workable polariser for the TS-E17 that fits in my pocket.

I Ordered from Amazon on July 10th. They now show a delivery date of October 2nd.

Is that a hood/filter holder on the front of the lens? Nice rig!

It's a Matte box, they normally mount to the rails so you can change lenses and maintain the same filtration and shading. It's one of the reasons cine lenses are so specialized, normally in a set they are all the same external size so changing lenses is comparatively easy.

I did a model shoot last Wednesday and am attaching two images to illustrate how well the R5 can focus on the eye. One shot is the full frame image and the second is a Lightroom crop of the girl's left eye. I was blown away by the sharpness of her eye lashes! I have to downsize the images so they will post her but you can see the higher resolution shots on my Flickr page: https://www.flickr.com/photos/lylemariam/albums/72157715917201663/with/50331097192/

Shot with available light at ISO 400, f8, and 250th of a second. I normally shoot at ISO 100 but we were losing the light.

I think you might be right, we will never know until someone who has access to both models and does some serious testing

Or does some vig(g)orous testing

Playing around with the IBIS a little more. I'm finding that maybe it works a little better to try to stay a little more loose when shooting. I'm actually getting a little better results not holding my breath and trying to stay unnaturally still.

Breathing is an issue in any sort of shooting. Holding a deep breath is counterproductive, and holding your breath too much makes your heart rate go up. Relaxation is important.

What works for some people is to take a moderately deep breath and let about half of it out and then hold it briefly.

@VICYASA, funny timing here. Today Canon Price Watch announced a street price special on the R and 24-105 L lens for $2,300. The lens retails for around $1,000 so that's a great price for the pair.

That's a great deal. I paid $2,799 without the adapter in July 2019. Paid $100 for the basic adapter.

VegasCameraGuy · Sep 11, 2020

Thanks for the suggestion. That might clear up some of my issues with AF!
