As already noted, they are not advertisements but large photos heading a news article. Its probably hard programmed into the page layout, there will be a large photo leading into each article.

All the photos are for the site articles but could be mistaken for ads.

That was not what I saw. What I experienced was a super sized “pop-up” that covered the majority of the screen. it was over top of the page, not just a large photo for an article. And it was on my iPad.

Mine does not light (I'm in FV Mode with no attached flash) when I disable it in AF screen 2.

Do you have a flash attached? That might change the way it works, I don't know, its just a possibility.

As far as a nuclear reactor goes, I'll take your word for it as I don't think Canon will be adding one of those to their bodies just yet.

I got the sense that the two of you were actually saying the same thing, and Michael didn't realize it.

Just wait until the 16K sensor @240 fps, with the downsampled 8K mode added on as an extra. LP-U235N battery (which won't need recharging for fifty years) and the body will have one of those white cooling towers, to boot.

I used the m50 update as a sign of how seriously Canon is taking the M line.

Click to expand...

I don't think even Canon expected the original M50 to perform as well as it did. From the sales, it appears they hit a sweet spot with that camera. Especially in its current price bracket. So in putting only small upgrades into the successor, but lowering its launch price significantly, they are going with a conservative upgrade that may allow them to maintain a nice profit margin and probably introduce future rebates.

They may end up erring on the side of caution here, but in the other hand - what's the worth of a cash cow if you can't milk it?

I don't think the M50 line was ever going to be a good indicator for the future of EF-M. The market segment interested in that camera evidently is just fine with the current lens lineup and ecosystem.

What really means something is the higher end. Is an M5 II coming? An M7? Are they actually meant to absorb a part of the EF-S market? If so, where are the lenses that express this intent?

I don't use manual AF. But suddenly it started working somewhat. What functions does the multi-controller perform besides moving focus from one eye to the next. Thanks.

This looks like a highly competent lens so far. I'm impressed, though I wish it cost south of $500. If it were $450, I would replace my 85/1.8 immediately.

Click to expand...

It does indeed appear worthy. All the more if they shaved off 61mm and a third of a stop...

No. The 12 Max sensor is 47% larger than the 12 Pro sensor, that is less than half a stop difference. Even Apple only claim 87% better 'light gathering' over the 11 for the 12 Max.

Phones have come on in leaps and bounds over the years but it tends to be generational, the 12 Max undoubtedly has a 'better' camera than the 12 Pro, but there is less than a stop of difference, the same pixel numbers and the same lens (main) lens.

Some good points you made there. I still hope there will be an APS-C body. I remember a rumor of an Aps-C R body in the second half of 2021. If there will be no APS-C R body then I think I have to go for a M7. I hope that Canon at some point will push more effort towards high quality lenses for this system. And hopefully some third party like Sigma will keep making new lenses for EF-M. I wonder if the M7 as a flagship would be a slightly bigger body as well. If its a little bit bigger than my 200d, I would be happy. Hopefully we will see IBIS in the M7 as well..

What I don't like is the stories about killing the M line or something like keep selling the current bodies with kit lenses without any effort for new lenses. That would be appealing about an Aps c R body as this line seems to get all the R&D especially with lenses. The idea that I buy a nice camera in a dead system bothers me.

At this point, the rumors swing both ways, to some extent colored by the bias of the rumor reporter. Canon is clearly putting their primary effort into the R line right now, which makes sense given the drop in the low end of the market. I do think one of the reasons we haven't seen a replacement yet for the M5 is power related. Clearly the DigicX has a lot more processing power per watt than the Digic8, but it may still be marginal in a full featured M body. However, given that the 8k feature would not be there, I suspect that an undervolted DigicX would be within an acceptable power budget, so we may be just looking at the time needed to stabilize yields and get enough volume in hand to address the M7 market (which I think would be quite large). There may also be a new sensor in development to address the now desired higher read speeds (as you pointed out above, the 90D doesn't do 4k/60), and the M7 may also be waiting on a couple of lenses to make it more attractive to the enthusiast market. All speculation, of course, but based on pretty straightforward reasoning. If the M7 is to functionally replace the 7D II, then it also should have a battery grip available both for longer battery life and to balance bigger lenses. My gut says we will get the answer within the next 6 months. In the meantime, enjoy your 7D II .

8-bit and clog 2/3. Nah. How are you ever going to pull a decent grade from that? All the competitors are doing 10-bit now. 8-Bit and no RAW can't be right. That is not a C line camera.

Click to expand...

If C70 is a smaller C300 without RAW then those C50 specs would be a C200 without RAW.
8 bit would not interest me but there are plenty of people that use C200s and never shoot RAW.
If it is cheap enough then it will sell.

Heat exchangers in Nuclear reactors use heavy water to remove heat from core to external cooling ponds unlike have a fan recirculating heat in completely enclosed environment.

Click to expand...

Or they use open chilling towers to cool the clean water. The point is, the dirty water is in a sealed system and the clean water is not, yet the heat in the dirty water is moved to the clean water through a heat exchanger that does not mix the two fluids. The interior of the camera that contains everything else can be sealed off from the interior part of the camera that uses some form of fan and vents to force heat out of the system.

Is this a good deal for a body with lousy high ISO performance?

Click to expand...

It's a great deal on a camera that wasn't designed primarily to be used at high ISO.

What you're asking is about like asking if a new Corvette for $20K is a good deal for a vehicle with limited cargo capacity.

I haven't had a good luck with there TV's, so quiet buying there products. Just mt 2 cents

Completely wrong subdivisions, Samsung along with WD/Sandisk are the only 2 manfacturers(before Micron sold Lexar) who have their own fabs and can control the flash chips that go in their products also both have good experience of controllers as well. Their last SD cards were very good and were rated very well alongside Sandisks offerings of the day.

I'm in the same boat, ordered 8/3 but still on backordered status. I emailed them asking why they sent out R5's to ppl who ordered in September but they insist that orders are filled in the order received. Meanwhile Adorama had R6's in stock briefly on Thursday morning so I ordered one and it arrived yesterday, debating on if I need the R5 anymore since I'm primarily a stills shooter and mostly portraits. I've always been a "better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it" kind of guy, so yeah...any word from B&H?

Click to expand...

I emailed them back a "lengthy" (but kind! I try to be as nice and understanding to retail as possible since I used to work in it myself) email, and I've still been trying to get ahold of someone with more concrete evidence than just anecdote, but no luck so far.

SteveC said:

Granted I was using an Olympus not a Canon for this, but in hindsight I doubt any Canon at the time would have been significantly better. (I still have never owned a Canon point and shoot, however, so I could be totally wrong.)

I use a Canon G5X II for travel. It replaced my G7X II. I used a couple of the S series before that. They are relatively sophisticated cameras, giving you Raw files and allowing all sorts of controls. "Point and shoot" seems to underestimate them. But the little zoom rocker lever doesn't give you much fine control. That may be the least sophisticated part of the camera. I find it adequate for my travel pictures, though. You can use the ring around the lens for zooming if you set it up that way. On some models that gives you more control than others. Normally it will click to certain focal length equivalents. Zooming while shooting video needs more skill than I am likely to develop adequately.

The little lens does let you focus very close to things. I haven't needed to use its "macro" mode enough to see what if any benefit it gives over just zooming in or moving in close.

Why would you not use the supplied cable or a card reader to download images, even if they were just jpegs?

I’ll likely wait for another reviewer. I just seen one on the R5 posted in this thread that was good. What I am after now is a proper written review and not another YouTube personality. Jared Polin can be entertaining, but he can also be a lot of work to watch as he uses a lot of tone shifts and he is dreadfully excitable.

How about this short review. After 16 DAYS shooting wildlife in YNP/GTNP, i have no regrets replacing my 1dx II with the R5 + 100-500 with a few cautions

• Battery life, buy the grip and 2-3 sets if you are a heavy shooter. I was getting 650-700 shots per battery, but I have been a bit heavy handed on the shutter.
• Memory cards, 45 MB’s chews through memory cards.
• Not instant on, be aware of the state of your camera if you want the EVF to be active when it reaches your eve. Canon is going to have to figure out a idle/instant feature for the R1 and R5 II.
• AF is really good but can still be confused by twigs and grass even if the eye is visible.
• the 100-500 is at least as good or better than the 100-400 II with one exception - restriction of zoom range when using the 1.4x or 2x extenders. You have to extend the zoom to 300mm before you can add the TC and loose the 100-299mm range of the zoom. You are limited to 420mm-700mm when the 1.4 is attached. This is an issue if the subjects moves closer and you need to remove the TC. I was going to sell my 100-400mm II, but I have decided to keep the lens on a second body when using the 100-500 + TC.

Multiple cards changed at non-critical intervals, and backed up to an iPad every chance I get.

Seriously, crickets?
Am I out of the loop or something? No one is using LUTs on their 4K footage?

Michael Clark said:

Bryan at The-Digital-Picture says in his review of the 70-300 L that although it is not officially supported, due to physical clearance issues at shorter focal length, at about 250mm and longer focal lengths the 1.4X and 2X Canon extenders will, in fact, mount and the resulting image quality is very good.

Click to expand...

I am not blown away with the 2x performance, so I just carry the Tamron 1.4x which seems to be pretty comparable in IQ to the Canon and it works over the full zoom range of the lens. This lens is in my 90D bag, so anything more than 1.4x is better served by cropping.

Sadly they too where Scottish and from the other bloody side. It would be easier if it where a Englishman then I could go all claymore and freedom, sadly stupid is a world wide thing and the empty hide just down from us must have not been appealing. The signs where everywhere that it is one household per hide, if he had wanted that specific one he could have asked and I would have social distanced my way out. Instead I just found out the exit was blocked. I mean he was a lovely chap to talk too, but I had COVID back in late Feb and could have been spreading it to people, I would hate to think it lingered on me and that chap keeled over.

Here is an extreme example of the rolling shutter effect photo taken of Hummingbird there wings flap at 50 times per second. shutter speed 4000 sec.
