Very nice shot.

IBIS works. A lot of needless hand wringing seems to be taking place in the forum. Coupled with lens IS, it works even better.

Thanks for sharing. Firmware update done.

I found my 85 IS to be as poor with 1dx2 as with the R. Yes, much more consistent then the EF f1.2, but yeah. I use my lenses wide open, or rather buy them because, so if my f1.4 is epic at f4, it doesn’t really matter to me

For me, my choice to stop down with that lens is more a DOF issue than a sharpness one. For a headshot, at 85mm I find I need f4 to get anything more than just an eye or two in good focus (with the 100L this was not an issue even at 2.8 ). For 3/4 body shots I like the balanced look that f2 provides. But, I’ll admit if the lens had better performance at 1.4 on the 5DSR I’d consider that for full-body shots.

My 90D arrived Friday and I shot for 3 days over sat-mon. Really enjoying it. 4K footage looks great. The image sizes are surprisingly large files. Gonna switch to CRAW and see if I notice a difference.

Feels nicely built and all the buttons have a great feel. Could be placebo or my 80D just got worn in over the last 3yrs lol.

The flap for mic and headphones opens from the top now rather than the bottom. The flips screen has a lip at the top rather then the side and the Play button has moved. All of this was really annoying at first but my muscle memory is adjusting.

The setting for camera mode and video mode are entirely separate now which is kind of cool. So can have totally different ISOs ect.

The headphone level goes way louder now and the battery life lasts forever. That’s a nice upgrade. Overall really impressed.

There is a bit more to a neural network than "just a 2D geometry".

For a neural network, it is much easier to represent a "genius" than to represent an "ordinary" person.

that I agree with, however. neural network does not make one to be a genius

DON'T !!!!
I have the 21 Leica M lens (non-aspherical).
Mounted on the EOS R, it generates a reddish hue on the sides of the pictures, like all M lenses below 35 mm, you can even see it in the viewfinder!
The Leica sensors have therefore specifically oriented microlenses against this phenomenon.
Maybe (?) the asph. type behaves differently, even though I doubt it.
PS: the Leica R 21 mm is not really good...

Thank you Del Paso... As soon as I really used the Voigtlander Skopar 21 -- I returned it to the dealer. Terrible magenta in all corners and Adobe RAW could not remove it by profile. Then I went to eBay and bought another Canon 20mm f2.8 -- a treasure of a lens!

My opinion: mechanically the best SLRs ever made, along with the Nikon F2.

Click to expand...

Yes and no. The Leicaflex SL has a very nice Viewfinder, pretty bright. But the shutter is known to be a problem. Mine died some years ago and was repaired by Leica Customer Service without fee, they did it obviously only for fun.
The Leicaflex SL2 is mechanically really good, some people would prefer the Leic R 6.2. The Nikon FM3a is perhaps the best analog Nikon ever made, absolutely comparable to the Leicas.

I saw a similar condition upon trying various EF lenses on my newly acquired EOS R, my 100-400 would not focus. I fussed around a bit and finally cleaned the contacts on the EF 100-400, and voila it works! Happy with the EOS R I like the physical size and fast focus!

With the newer touch screen cameras, one button to enter liveview, touch the person or area on the image you want to focus on and it takes the photo instantly. I don't see that as difficult, I do it all the time. You only need turn on liveview once, from there on, just touch the screen on the focus spot. Exposure is better too, it averages around the area of the focus.

I also have a EOS R. the main difference is that it is in live view all the time, and I can use the viewfinder.

I Never Experience this feature''Liveview'' And i mistake it to the video mode,/view, Thanks to your patient And Grace I found out The meaning of it ,So as of now it's new to me ,

From a first glance It look Similar (But probably far from it) To what mirrorless camera do,
i will Explore it when i can ,and i hope I will managed to be smooth with it and it to be Accurate like the auto focus ,

Since i can't Zoom Through The viewfinder manual focus I have to depend on my eyesight and i can't Trust Myself Without zooming ,

Another beautiful portrait. Well done, CFB.

Is it's downsampling or doing a straight 1:1 readout? If it's a 1.63x-ish crop it should be a 1:1 readout.

Click to expand...

From some quick measurements from the videos posted above the cropped mode does a 1.18x crop to the picture. That means that it uses around 6000 pixels in width of the sensor and judging from the warnings of overheating, it obviously performs a 6k to 4k downsampling hence the increased sharpness.
In the uncropped mode the only way to efficiently use the full size of the sensor is by pixel binning (or line skipping but it's highly unlikely). If they did a 2x2 pixel binning the resulting video will have a 6960/2=3480 pixel width and it will need upsampling to get to 4k, a 3.5k to 4k upsampling to be specific which is not great but definitely not terrible.

Diffraction-Limited-Aperture
You will find "DLA" referenced in many of the DSLR camera reviews on the site. DLA is an acronym for Diffraction Limited Aperture. This aperture value is the result of a mathematical formula that approximates the aperture where diffraction begins to visibly negatively affect image sharpness at the pixel level.

Canon 80D DLA - f/6.0

Click to expand...

The next three paragraphs of Bryan's article about DLA at The-Digital-Picture:

"Diffraction at the DLA is only barely visible when an image is viewed at full-size (100%, 1 pixel = 1 pixel) on a monitor or when output to a very large print. As sensor pixel density increases (on any brand camera), the narrowest aperture we can use to get perfectly pixel-sharp images gets wider.

DLA does not mean that narrower apertures should not be used – it is simply the point where image sharpness begins to be compromised for increased DOF and longer exposures.

And, higher resolution sensors generally continue to deliver more detail than lower resolution sensors at apertures narrower than the DLA – until the "Diffraction Cutoff Frequency" is reached. The progression from sharp to soft as the aperture narrows beyond DLA is not an abrupt one – and the change from immediately prior camera models to new models is usually not dramatic."

Pretty sure Canon isn't installing any SD cards in their cameras.

Now if you are asking if Canon is adding support for faster SD cards, UHS-II is currently the fastest standard, and its up to the consumer to purchase the fastest UHS-II card they can afford in their size choice.

Cryhavoc and let slip the dogs of War!

I've put about 40 weddings through my EOS R and I carry it with a spider holster, the camera continuously rubs against the protective pad and there are no visible signs of wear at all on any part of the body. I've maybe put about 80-100k frames through it.

The costs of storage and memory continue to decrease at a significant rate. When you consider that ongoing trend, the actual costs of storage don't really increase at all. It likely still costs about the same to store an 80MP image file as it cost to store a 50MP image file several years back — perhaps even a bit less.

And... for those who don't need or want higher resolution Canon continues to provide lower MP alternatives that are quite fine cameras, too.

DxO PhotoLab doesn't process mRaw / sRaw, and they have no plans to support those.

Choice is good. Having to buy larger disks and/or being forced to switch image processing software isn't.

And dismissing this review because it shows an effect that somebody else didn't reproduce seems a bit quick, when we don't know the details of how each result was achieved. I posted my suspicion in the other thread.

Fair point, thanks for the additional info.

It will be interesting for someone to measure the actual AoVs. If the lens profiles are cropping the resulting images, what are the resulting equivalent focal lengths before and after cropping?

Your hope is completely correct. Having adjusted the Nodal point correct is essential for any easy stitching afterwars, especially with wide angel or fisheye lenses, as for the most time with such focal length one will have near and far objects in the frame that need to have the same overlap (foreground to background) on the right side of one frame and on the left side of the right adjacent frame. Otherwise you will get ghost effects.

I got my 90D yesterday. I took it to a high school football game and just goofed around with it. I'm having a lot of fun with it. It's a big upgrade from my SL1 and T5.

1. a spot of glue (super glue crazy glue, etc.)
2. not the same according to Amazon. hover here is an original part at US$17.00 - according to item description

I do not go easy on AF performance but in wouldn’t use auto tracking for a lot of things other people might, I like my single point. I find hitrate increased quite a bit when using -1 for tracking sensitivity and +1 on acc/deacc.

Woah just saw the price tag, they’re just $500 under the Canon Cinema primes.
