From what I have read, that makes sense if you already own a 100-400L and a 1.4x it is kind of a wash to upgrade. Glad it is working for you!

Lots of adapters are available online, all 3 camera stores in the Seattle area had all 3 Canon adapters last week when I checked. The super sized Stores like Amazon, B&H, Adorama are sold out but many more ordinary stores have them.

A person looking for the adapters can take the Canon approved Dealers list and look for dealers in your state or adjacent ones and likely find a store that has them. The Seattle area stores seldom come up in a internet search but are reasonably large stores and often have stock when others don't. Unfortunately, there are no longer and Canon authorized dealers now in Spokane. The store in Spokane that had sold cameras for the last 117 years has stopped selling them and now does high end audio-video commercially or for residences. They do sell AV retail in 2 stores. A small store in nearby Idaho that sold pro model Canon for many many years was also dropped by Canon.

Its a sign of the times.

Yes, local dealers are probably a better bet, but my two go-to dealers in Toronto didn't have these items for months either. FWIW, the ND filter itself is almost $400 CAD and since they seem to be so delicate, I may just end up keeping the vari-nd in the drop-in adapter and keeping the basic rf-ef adapter and swap the adapters back and forth when I don't need the nd instead of fumbling with the filter itself in the field and damaging it. Breakthrough photography also seem to have a much wider offering at a much lower price point, if they can ever get their product to market..

Appropos that comment, I also own an M6...but don't have any of the longer zooms, and have no use for the 15-45mm kit lens I do have. By far the most commonly used lens on that camera is the 18-200 from Tamron, native EF-M mount (it also comes as an EF-S but it's really loud). I have the 11-22, the 22mm and 32mm. Never saw the need for the 28, but that could change someday.

The 28mm is actually one of my faves. While IMO it's not quite as sharp as the 32mm or 22mm in non-macro shooting, it does surprisingly well in low light and even better in daylight considering it's not the fastest. Naturally, in macro and super macro it really shines.

I can't believe after posting this that now it a possibility!!!!!!! What a game changer!!! https://www.digitalcameraworld.com/...hQLLk5pBQlajYOdynGINlkemQtb3SuywDNigloyM-5dwI

This is the reason why I never participate in any kind of sweepstakes and giveaways. Waste of time. And money in some instances.

What differences ie possible improvements will be on the newer version if or when it comes?
I hope that it will at least have the ver. II af system and that a truly photo focused camera with up to 720p 240 fps and up to 1080p 50/60 fps video.

The RP is loaded with features, they might update the processor and install a newer sensor, but its power is constrained with the battery size. Its a consumer camera and is not going to get pro features or features that need more power. I think its very good as is, a excellent price too. Canon has too much on their plate to kick out a new RP version very soon.

Look for the M series to slowly be replaced by the R series with the main difference being RF lens compatibility. It will have APS-C sized sensor as well about all they need to do is to change the lens mount and tweak the backplane distance. Hopefully, they will put the R firmware in it and do away with the PowerShot like firmware.

I've been out of the loop but apparenlty there's shutter shock that can present itself at around this speed on the R5 and R6 and wondered if it's been fixed in firmware recently?

Click to expand...

No fix yet and I would assume a fix is not really possible. The best we can hope for is automatic switching between EFCS and mechanical based on shutter speed.

WriteLight said:

So...do we have a shipping date for this yet? I thought I had seen Dec.4, have also read middle of Dec.
Anyone have any additional insight?

Click to expand...

I just received mine a few days ago. Looking forward to testing it out tomorrow on my R5, along with my newly purchased RF 24-105 f/4!

Ordered in August, arrived today. Foto DINKEL, Munich, Germany.

Firmware 1.1.1.

Great news, how often was it freezing before the update?

Hope that helps a little,

Thanks Kiton, helps AlOT!.

OK, got it. Just came in. 50 mm 1.8 RF.

Just a few shots around the house and it seems pretty good!

And I know that this should be elementary but after having the 24-70 RF on my camera for so long the weight difference Is incredible! It is so light it feels like there is no lens on the camera at all. I have the R5. I have the R5. So now I'm just waiting on the shipment of the 70-200 f4. B&H says last week of January.

Keep on going Canon!!

And sometimes, when it does get to my city, they then deliver it to the wrong address

Yep no thanks!!!!

We have good old yellow jacket wasps here in BC and those are enough for me. Those look absolutely evil.

I only tried the 24-70 for still when I had it, the 28-70 is scheduled to get rented next May Since they both have USM motors I'm going to assume they can focus faster in video mode, but I have no direct video experience with them.

Thanks!I hope these lenses are fast! )))

Hi, after switching from Premiere Pro to DaVinci Resolve I took some drone footage as a color grade exercise. This is the result:

That is an amazing piece of Artwork!!! Really quite phenomenal. For me personally, having your reflection in the image actually makes it more evocative IMHO on a familial level - due to the tie-in with the artist.

Really quite amazing drawing...

It depends! If you get a new 5D Mark IV that was only send back, but is technically okay, yes, it is a great deal. But when you go to the Canon homepage read the reviews, you will at least find one complain that the buyer got a 5D Mark IV with a shutter count of 9000!!! That is not refurbished anymore as we understand it. That thing is heavily used! Then the price of $1750 is much to high. If you want a used one check Adorama or KEH out. They have always very good deals.

Thank you...Yes my 7d was was refub from Canon with around 8k shutter {first one was 20k and had to fight a lot}

Was today at my camera dealer. They said it is definitely a warranty case and it has now been sent to Canon. The dealer lent me another R6 while Canon is investigating. I will return in this thread when I know more. Thanks for your input!

geez this is old

What am I missing with this comment? It looks like there should have been a point made here. The 140mm clearly has more bokeh effect than the 70 cropped.

Click to expand...

I have updated the post for you. Made a point and provided pictures that require less mental interpolation to support said point.

The real point here is that I find it makes life easier when you can stop thinking about cropping, zooming, sensor sizes, teleconverters and so on as very similiar in effect and focus instead on the nuances in which they differ.

Does the Canon R mount support power zoom lenses? One of the benefits of purchasing a camcorder instead of an interchangeable lens video camera is that the camcorder's integral lens can be zoomed, including from a remote control.

You can buy SERVO Cinema Zoom lenses for any Canon C series Cinema Camera.

What is more you can use them even on EOS 1D X series Camera and by providing external 12V supply you can use power zoom too.

Just for fun, I did this one day...

I just discovered that the Advanced User Guide has been updated for firmware 1.2.0. I didn't look through it beyond seeing on the cover that it was updated for the latest firmware. https://cam.start.canon/en/C003/manual/c003.pdf

I tried. Without a delay, using Single Shot, I could not get a shot without blur at 1/8th of a second on a very good tripod and ball-head. I tried taking photos of a neighbor's Christmas lights at 1/8th of a second at 200mm . (I wanted 200mm to really see if there was any vibration happening with the timer.) Using one shot and pressing as lightly as I could, there was obvious motion blur. Five shots in a row with 2-second timer, all is fine.

I think you must have had great luck on the 80D. I'm not understanding the reluctance to just try a delay or a remote for 1/8th of a second?!? That would assure you the IBIS system, when turned off, is not malfunctioning, as you seem to worry is happening. Don't forget--I started this thread with testing IBIS, so I'm very open minded, but 1/8th of a second is pretty much, from my experience, mandatory delay or remote.

Click to expand...

thanks and appreciate the tests and feedback. Wouldn't call it luck given I've done it with 40D, 7D, 80D and some with the R5... and various phones etc. I get its more sensitive with higher megapixel (this is a leap) but it was fully manual, and while not a countdown shutter, I did wait a few seconds each time I moved it to ensure things were before touching it and the gentlest of touches on the live view.. on a tripod, on solid ground, not windy, even with electronic shutter etc. Even checked to see if my strap was pulling etc. I also would get absolutely sharp images BEFORE the fuzzy ones without any movement...

I've also gotten sharp shots at lower speeds handheld on the R5! though with IS/IBIS. I wasn't particularly zoomed.. think maybe 30mm.. so really shouldn't get anything like that, but meh... but like any tool, need to learn what it can/can't do.. hence seeing if others experienced similar and not immediately whining at canon.

One thing I haven't done and I might is a full reset of the camera... sometimes when you do a firmware update it can help. Does anyone know if there is a hardcore reset vs the menu one?

took quite a few images so could work around the blurry ones.. this is what I was building
