Some more great Canon innovation. These sort of things can reach consumer products in modified forms.

No DP AF for the OEM market?

At 100%, the difference is visible. I've seen different examples online and downloaded them to compare. I'm not constrained by memory and don't shoot fast bursts, so I use raw for photos I want saved, and jpg for temporary ones.

Looks like you can actually get it now

Hopefully it will be in the 2020 releases.

I would take that over any 70-200 f/2.8. I had a feeling there might be something special to match the 28-70. Now I just hope it gets produced. Maybe, just maybe it will be internal zoom also.

They should make new tele lens ,worthy for new 32mpix sensor.
EF-S 150mm f4L sharpest canon lens never made and weight like 200g
around 135mm lenses seems to be sharpest on sony and zeiss.

I'd like a very light 300mm f/4 to replace the antique one. It won't be any heavier to have it FF. The Nikon PF one is really good.

Unfortunately, the BBC's level of journalism/headline writing is nothing to what it used to be. It sounds like Jessops's is going into a CVA (Creditors Voluntary Arrangement) , almost certainly as a way to cram down landlord liabilities - or at least future rents - while the shareholder(s) still retains ownership.

The BBC is using lazy reporting and calling it an "administration", though that is technically a different insolvency process. (While it is true that a corporate can first enter administration, and then "exit" via a CVA, these days there is sufficient legal protection while pulling together a CVA to not need bother with the extra expense of a preliminary Administration). Once upon a time the BBC employed financial journalists who knew about business and legal processes - now... not so much.. and the 'gist of the facts' is good enough

Like so many high street retailers, it finds itself with a large number of rented shops, and now unable to meet the previously agreed lease rentals - if you want to be cynical, they simply now want to change the agreements they previously entered into, if you're more forgiving, then they are suffering due to a change in retailing (i.e. internet operations) and need to re-adjust one of their biggest costs through no fault of their own...

Since it is not the first time Peter Jones has used a CVA to reduce the landlord costs on one of his "investments", I'm more inclined to go with the first view.

Anyway - if it helps save the jobs of those still employed by Jessops, then I hope it is successful: they have had some really enthusiastic sales men down the years, who have helped a lot of people into photography.

Let's hope they survive.

I can't argue for most of those lenses, so I'll have to leave it at "time will tell".

Both Canon EF 75-300mm are cheaper than the EF-S 55-250mm IS non-STM (at least at the moment @ B&H). This seems to me like dump prices (= Canon trying to get rid of existing stock), rather than the lenses being manufactured & sold at a profit. Canon not having IBIS, and the low end market shrinking, I don't see IS-less teles selling that well.

Maybe, but it seems to me that they're still moving more units of the EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III (non-USM), when the units sold in kits are included in the totals, than the rest of your list combined. They've been practically giving them away for at least a decade.

I think that most folks who buy an entry level Rebel with a two lens kit have no idea what IBIS is. YMMV.

Thanks for this good summary.

This is my personal favorite (even though taken with a Sony

I need the pro-level crop from Canon aswell.
I don't care, will it be new EOS M whatever or RC. I'll buy it anyway. M50 is just not good as camera - poor AF, poor battery life, extremely poor tiny EVF, bad high ISO, etc.

When we go on safari with our pair of Canons and telephoto zooms, instead of taking a short telephoto zoom for close ups, I have a Sony RX10IV which is tack sharp from 24-600mm equivalent so I can track from moderate wide angle to decent telephoto. I use the Sony for business travel as well. I use the expensive Mk IV because it has the A9’s AF so it will also do BIF. The much cheaper MK III is just as good image wise. I personally would take the Sony any day rather than my 90D plus Tamron 29-640mm equivalent. But YMMV. I used to have the Canon G3X with the same range but unfortunately it’s not nearly as good.

Look's like compitition to Arri's Alexa Mini LF https://www.arri.com/en/camera-systems/cameras/alexa-mini-lf

Mount it on a drone, a tripod, a camera dolly, a gimbal, or even hand-hold it. Use L-mount or PL-mount lenses.

Contact Canon support. Its likely that they will have to service the camera. Error 70 pertains to a board failure, that might not let the firmware update properly.

According to TDP it's about 4 to 4.5 at the extreme corners for both EF III and RF UWA 2.8 lenses.I had shot many pictures at internal spaces with my EF 2.8 III and it affected the outcome in a small set of pictures where the IQ (after correction) is worse noisewise when moving away from the center. I am thinking of applying DxO PL Prime noise reduction for these pictures. We'll see.

Of course at f/4 the situation is much better. But there are cases where 2.8 is useful. There is of course the comparison of an f/4 IS lens vs a non-stabilized f/2.8. Which is more suitable? (Opinions welcome. I do have both but I carry only one with me at a time and I encountered some dark interiors during my last trip). So this is why although a fanatic fan (pun intended!) of 5DMkIV for interior low light photography I am also very positive about the EOS R/RF15-35 combination.

EDIT: I mentioned that a small set of pictures has been affected because in the rest of the cases the photo target does not extend to cover 100% of the frame (think a statue for example). But there are cases where every UWA mm counts (think paintings and lack of space at the same time for example). In these cases it would be better to have less vignetting.

Really? My stuff isn't in focus at that wide an aperture....I need to test this out more.

Yup, I use the Easy DoF app on my iPhone to get a quick view on DoF numbers. Here is a print screen for the 16mm, f2.8 focus distance: 3m. Resulting DoF is: 1.5m to infinity

Speaking of Exposure, I'm finding that with the EVF, I'm using Exposure Compensation quite a bit less than with dSLR's. I'm staying mostly with Spot Metering, then, when it makes sense, moving the frame around a bit between subject and background (or, for example, clothing), which allows me to clearly see and choose the exact right exposure for me. At that point, I simply press AE Lock with Hold to lock it in and compose.

Sometimes the EC dial is quicker, getting my exposure where I want it without having to move the Spot Metering circle around, but sometimes this other technique, which would have been experienced guess work with an OVF, just nails it.

Sounds like you are getting happier and happier with the horrible camera known as the EOS R.

I can't remember, have you got any RF glass yet? The reviews of the little RF 35mm f/1.8 are so good that I am considering it.

Imaging Resources was my #1 go to sight when in the market for a new camera, going back to my 10D days. DP Review was second. I'm mostly retired, in other words not flush with cash, but I donated $10 by PayPal to the Imaging Resources. Maybe if everyone they helped along the way gave a bit it might help them stay alive. I hope they survive in some way. I would donate $10 a year to keep them going. I use Capture One and Photoshop 5 so I don't give monthly to Adobe. $10 a year to Imaging Resources benefits me more. Go Dave!

All these videos are quite of the blah blah type. Shouldn't people be more interested in hard facts sites like the-digital-picture, lens rentals, optical limits, etc?

If I take a picture of something with a large depth of field with a low f stop then it’s impossible for all to be in focus. Focus bracketing allows me to take a series of shots, sometimes 30 or more that get merged in post processing where the entire shot is in focus, or whatever part I want to be in focus is in focus.
