I have made some comments to the review here:

In terms of "what do I get for the money", the choice would be easy...the difference in IQ is, in my opinion, rather neglectible.
And: one fits all!

As stated in the post before this, I have found the difference to be quite significant.

This must be why so many others are stuck on back order and can't get one!

Ours are still trickling in! We only have a few in our actual hands but the rest will come in by April/May two or three at a time!

We've technically actually bought MORE cameras from Sony than Canon BUT those were broadcast television/cinema-oriented gear!

Sometimes it's NICE to have some sales clout! Our lenses TEND to be Sigma, Arri/Zeiss (Master Primes and FF series, etc), Leica (Summilux-C) and Schneider-Kreuznach (Xenar-3) and the "weirder" lenses such as tilt-shift or Super-telephoto primes (600mm L-series) from Canon. Anything else we can build in-house (i.e. 4000mm or 8000mm Prime Scopes for Space applications)

The 16-35 f4 is one reason that a new 20mm f2.8 is unlikely in my opinion. I have a 28mm f2.8 IS, It is a good lens, but I haven't used it much at all since since I got the 16-35 f4. If the 16-35 had been on the market, I wouldn't have bought the 28.

Click to expand...

I use mine (28 IS) whenever I need a small lens with a real good IQ (streets, pubs, etc.).
It's also good for discreet photography on the EOS R, used with the back-screen tilted in horizontal position.
But otherwise, 16-35/f.4 !!!

Irrelevant to those talking about capture devices, that's who. Sometimes one person can be an expert. Otherwise there would be no need for the existence of the word.

It looks small and compact to me, something I can shove in a backpack with a smaller body like the R5 when I don't know if I am taking pictures today. I also expect it to be the 100-400 II killer, they gave this thing a development announcement and a lot of fan fair, I think they expect it to be important. They are also showing it off next to the 100-400 and don't appear to be giving this treatment to any of the other RF lenses.

Click to expand...

Time will tell I guess and I suppose it all comes down to what focal length the apature climbs over f5.6. if it can maintain 5.6 up to 400 then no probs. it is basically the 100-400 with a bit extra as the cream on top. But if it does not maintain f5.6 at 400mm then it will be a let down in my honest opinion. Or...…….If it is a significant drop in size(or more importantly, weight) then it will be awesome. Grams are critical when I travel

Elinchom announced its new midrange monolights, ELC 125 and 500:

ELC 125 / ELC 500 - PR

Master your next adventure with the new generation of Elinchrom studio flash units.

Nothing breathtaking - adding TTL, anyway. I wonder if they will add a "250" model later or not.

Click to expand...

With both models adjustable down to 7Ws and the higher-powered model recharging faster, I don't see any reason for a 250Ws model in between.

In the mid 60’s I was driving a ‘64 MGB. When my boss got a ‘65 Pontiac GTO, I was naturally anxious to try it, and I had occasion to drive it often in the wide-open spaces of West Texas. It offered excellent straight-line performance and little else. Compared to my little MG it had poor brakes, poor handling, and poor build quality. And that’s why I stuck to European, and later, Japanese, cars and never looked back. GM were still building 1950’s cars into the early 21st century and look where that got them.

Click to expand...

You had 2 sides to the musclecars back in the 60's & 70"s. You had the consumer cars that were obviously geared towards quick acceleration/straight line speed. Then you had these same cars that were properly set up for SCCA and Trans Am racing, on such racetracks such as Watkins Glen, Road America, and some other great race venues. This is where the AAR 'Cuda, Camaro's and Mustangs were proven to be more than just straight line cars. And, btw, if your bass was on the cheap side, he may have ordered his GTO with 4 drum brakes, which back then was pretty normal. Obviously, the braking would suffer. Front disc brakes was an extra cost option.

The MGB was an "okay" car, but that's about it. With a total of 95 hp, it wasn't much to get excited about. Anytime you lower the stance of a car, it's give you the impression that it goes faster than it actually does. That's one of the reason's the regular run of the mill Mazda Miata was such a big seller.

I would agree with you that European cars are much better put together with respect to fit and finish, and so are the Japanese cars. The American cars of the 60's and 70's were on a completely different plane when it came to "bang for the buck" for the everyday normal person. That's why they sell for the price they do now (Barrett-Jackson Auction).

Even from friends I know that shoot Sony, no one beats Canon colors. I am also waiting for the EOS R5. The latest rumor is CFexpress and UHC II slot. I wish they had upgraded both slots, even XQD which would be faster.

Click to expand...

I feel Canon may be slowly losing that edge in the color realm as well. I’m increasingly underwhelmed by the color rendition of the newer cameras (RP, 5D4 to lesser extent). My old 5D3 probably had the best OOC colors, followed by the 5DSR (which is similar, but sometimes trends green which I feel is a step back). Out of what I currently have, the 5DSR runs circles around all other bodies. The 5D4 has a very muted color output, the RP even more so. The 5DSR OTOH has very a rich output, with strong reds in particular - which I find pleasing for portraiture.

Don't get lost in a circle of confusion and be like the ships and planes lost in the exposure triangle.

Hi Ronald.
The 7DIIs (along with many other Canon cameras) come with unique image prefix letters, no more IMG.1234 I can tell images from my 7DII easily from the ABCD1234 where my 1DsIII has WXYZ1234.
Benny’s suggestion might be the best for you, RBOA and RBOB.

Cheers, Graham.

What increased danger would there be in terms of increasing the global reach of the virus if it has already spread to every country before the start of the Olympics?

I think you've got it exactly backwards.

Those attending the Olympics would increase their individual risk because they'll be coming into contact with many more people than they otherwise would. So would anyone attending a college football game in the U.S. or a professional soccer match in Europe.

But if the virus has already spread to every country, then there would be no increased danger of spreading it to areas that hadn't already been affected. That's because there would be no such areas left.

Click to expand...

It's very simple. Even if it has spread to ever continent but Antarctica, and many individual countries around the world, the strategy of each of those countries is, and will still be containment i.e. containing the virus to certain areas or regions of that country in the events of an outbreak, or to the limited amount of people infected. Bringing lots of people together, then putting them together with people from other countries at the Olympics, would be the surest way of undermining that strategy.

Only today it was reported that there were 2 cases of reverse infection, where 2 Chinese nationals returning from Iran had apparently been infected with COVID-19 in Iran.

Anyway, this is all moot. Many European countries are already starting to ban larger gatherings of people, cancel sporting events etc. So it is very unlikely they will be allowing their people from all over their country to attend a potentially huge cross-contamination event in another country.

Don Haines said:

I can see it both ways.... If it were me designing it, I would put in a bigger buffer and a pair of UHS-II slots, and go for a faster/longer burst rate. I would expect a small increment in sensor performance and perhaps 4 to 6 more megapixels, and most definitely the articulated touchscreen of the 6D2, but other than that, not really a lot of change...
<EDIT>
Bluetooth headsets! Come on Canon... you put Bluetooth into cameras and don't give it the ability to connect to a trucker Bluetooth headset? Why would you not include that? WHY?
</EDIT>

If it did go mirrorless, we would be looking at enhanced info in the viewfinder (undoubtedly user configurable), the possibility of burst rates of 60, even 120FPS (at reduced resolution), and the end of having to AFMA lenses.... I'd buy that one!

Click to expand...

In order to avoid any unpleasant situation, we will recommend you to have the Bluetooth headsets that are not only easier to use

Sorry to necro-post, but what's the latest on this ultra-wide f2 zoom rumor?

Refurb7 said:

The R should have had dual slots. Come on Canon, dual slots are not some high end feature. Sony offers dual slots in the A7iii. Fuji offers dual slots in their X-T3.

It should be a basic. Too many reasons to list.

Yes, you can tell more difference between bad 1080p and good 1080p than between good 1080p and good 4K on a decent TV at normal distances.

Similarly, streaming video quality can have more to do with bitrate than theoretical resolution.

you need this for 4k , for 8k there isnt big enough tv

Announced by Techradar.com ?


“...We're unsure whether Canon will fill this gap by giving us more information during the CP+ photography show to be held later in February, but rumors ( https://www.canonrumors.com/canon-eos-r5-specifications/ ) did point to a possible release date some time in July 2020..”

Thanks guys I was able to setup the exposure bracket to my custom function. So much faster setup that way thanks again

You can also access it from the Q menu off on the non-live view screen. It's pretty quick. Hit Q, tap the exposure compensation, and you can see it and bracketing with the wheels.

My experience as well. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it works.

Awesome! Good on Terrell for pursuing his dream!
