I'm having this issue when I am shooting video with the R5M2. I was contemplating sending it in to Canon but it seems like I may not be the only one with this issue. My R3 performed flawlessly when shooting video, so I just used that for video. It does it when handholding video, I did not try it on a tripod.

It’s shaping up to be a busy June for camera announcements, and today we’ve got two stories worthy of your time: Fujifilm has registered two new cameras, and we now have leaked images and specs for the Hasselblad X2D Mark II.

Wow, guys you are really careful.

I cycle my batteries through all cameras they fit in. Which means coming home from a shooting any battery I had with with me, goes into the “maybe empty jar” and I grab a few to replace them in the kit from the “freshly loaded jar”. I usually take on LPE6 in the camera and 2 in reserve with me. In total I own 8 of them which means 3 get loaded over the next days and 2 are in reserve for a fast grab if two shootings are close to each other. I load them with the Hähnel Procube II which according to what I learned here in the forum is the dumbest way to do, as the Hähnel does not have much in regards careful maintenance loading. I take loving care in regards to my camery but that love does not extend to the batteries. The Hähnel can load 2 batteries at the same time and I sometimes forget the batteries for a few days in the powered up loader. However after years of that unkind loading practice I do not have any dropouts in regards to the LPE6 batteries

As I currently made space in the shelves for the upcoming R7 Mark II I only hold a R7, 1DX2 which accept the "classical Canon form factor"

However that means Canon batteries from my EOS 30D, 60D, 80D 5d Mark 1 and 5d Mark3 happily power my R7 and do not show any weakness (besides the fact that the latest version LPE6nH seems to allow maybe 50-100 shots more than the LPE6n) The LPE6 batteries I use are almost 20 years old and still do their job.

My only backup battery for the 1DX2 is the one which came with my 1D Mark4 again almost 2 decades old and still doing the job.

If the Sigma 17-40 f:/1.8 is optically at least at the same level with 18-35 1.8 Art then it will sell extraordinary as the older version did! Can't wait!

After a trivial (by my standards) drop from about 2.5 feet (it landed flat on the ground), my RF 200-800 broke in half

It is IMO not surprising a lens is damaged after such a drop. Your mistake!!

I don't know about Canon's plans.

Kenko is overpriced and wobbly, but the smaller tube is only 10mm (could be useful)
Meike is not expensive but the release button seems to be failing on one of mine so not the best choice if you want reliability.
FotodioX is almost as expensive as Kenko (if you wanted to by both sizes) in terms of price, but not wobbly

Artra Lab and Vello were both out of stock when I tried before.

Canon continues to develop optical designs which utilize internal zoom setups. Internal zoom is the favoured design for a lot of shooters, as there is always continuity with the lens when shooting with it. Telescopic zoom lenses can save you a lot of space in the bag, but there are compromises when using one.

There are differences between CPS benefits on different countries. In Canada, one big one not mentioned is early access to new lenses. I got my RF200-800 the week it was released by including my CPS # when I ordered.

Sony is just *so* Last Year.

What ever the issue was, a few blasts from a can of compressed air around the control wheel seemed to do the trick and it’s now back to spinning freely.

Nice photos!
Is she sad about the Mormons coming, or is she going to work at the bar?

Both valid reasons I suppose...if she is going to work, I ain't eating there again

"...the overall experience of using the screen is cramped and unpleasant."

"My main issue with the control scheme of the X half has to do with the cumbersome nature of the touch interface. If you swipe too quickly, the screen won’t register the movement, and often tapping the screen takes a couple of tries to get things going."

Some of my fav recent captures....pretty much always R5, 24-70mm F2.8L at F2.8

Very nice B&W. Good composition. Welcome to CR.

With the occupied usb-c port, only option was to add a Pixel brand N3 wired/wireless trigger, with the receiver mounted on the cage next to the battery bank. Gaff tape the remote trigger on the side handle of the gimbal for push button REC.

Great idea!

The next wait is for the dedicated RRS L-bracket. Neither the R3 nor the 1D X bracket are a flush fit (close, but not close enough). So it’s the generic BP-CS plate for now. I didn’t bother with their ‘universal’ L plate.

...and the wait is over. No preorder, RRS announced the base plate and modular L-bracket for the R1 today and it is now shipping.


Looks like they're not selling the upright portion separately as they've done before, you order either the base plate only ($95) or the full L-bracket ($255). I ordered the latter about 5 minutes after getting the email.
