Sirui is going to announce their first autofocus full-frame lens on October 25. The lens will be an f/1.4, but the focal length is not yet known. Sirui currently makes autofocus lenses for APS-C, but not for the RF mount as of yet. They are all an impressive f/1.2. They are also at or below

Canon EOS R1 in-store demos & possible shipping delay?

Anyone know what would be a better "type of use" for an R3 over an R1 (except cost obviously)?
I mean it's a canned PR answer, they're not going to say anything else at this point. Right now the R3 is basically in the same position as the original R5 (being sold as a cheaper, but slightly less capable, alternative to the current product). Eventually both will be discontinued, probably in 6 months to a year (though there are exceptions like the RP noted above)

Canon EOS R5 Mark II firmware v1.0.1 released

The firmwares are full versions, to be able to skip intermediate versions. I don’t
know if the updater just updates the things that need updating or if it always does a full update.
I suspect the size difference is due to the updated models for AF, the volleybal/soccer/baseball recognition is bound to take up a lot of space. The second digic chip might also need its own firmware, further driving up the size.
Thanks Koen. I had thought that was so because I know you jump missed updates but I had wondered whether there was a core that was left alone. It's a massive amount extra for the R5ii.

Sony Alpha A1 II, the EOS R1 Killer? Rumored specifications

And how did being 'so late' to enter the mirrorless market affect their overall market share? Hmmm...it didn't. Clearly, their continued domination of the camera market as the overall market dropped by 90% and MILCs went from 20% to 80% of the ILC market is strong evidence that Canon makes lots of mistakes. At least in your opinion. Just keep on ignoring the facts and data that reveal your opinion to be baseless.
I'm not trying to defend SvO2, but I think what he/she meant is that Canon did not react to Sony immediately, resulting in the internet shifting to Sony-fanboi mode, which he/she views as a big lose for Canon.

Here’s a little bit of fun: Juza has posted a review of the Canon EF 1200mm f/5.6L USM

But the Canon looks like a toy compared to this :eek:

Canon Events?

Ah OK. Well that is a healthy camera store. The biggest one near me seems closer to closing than to hosting something like this.

Salon de la Photo 2024: Interview with Canon France

It may be market dependant. France has the 2000D, 250D, 4000D, 850D, 90D, 5D Mark IV, 6D Mark II, EOS-1D X for sale.
Then, India for example is still selling the 200D, 90D, 5D Mark IV, 3000D and 1500D.
Yes, it looks to be market dependent. Canon Australia lists 8 but only 6 with pricing. 4 are APS-C.
Strange that India is not selling the 1DXiii.

Fujifilm announces the X-M5, a camera for EOS M lovers

I have two original EOS M bodies and the very good EF-M 18-55 + the incredible EF-M 1.4 32 which perform very well for slow moving to static objects/subjects in not too contrasty environments! Video is meh, but for time lapse it has some special features with magic lantern.
M-5X would be the much better camera but at 899 EUR it is more expensive than R10 (888€) and maybe 1/2 R6 ii at the time the R6 iii is introduced.
R10 and R6 are non-comparable but this might be my route to spend the money - I will stay with my EOS Ms but for those in the fuji system or "system changers" this camera looks more than interesting!

Buying my first Mirrorless

The R6 Mark II will already be a huge upgrade from the 5D Mark II. Probably more features than you even need.

It's never good to buy the latest cameras, simply because they will be expensive and the R6III will probably be in the region of $2500. If you wait for Black Friday sale on the Canon page, I bet you can score a refurbished R6II for a whole grand less than that: ~$1500 with full warranty. And rumor is those refurbished cameras are often brand new. Better put your money into lenses, because that's what matters most.
The older R5 is a whopping resolution upgrade which is great for cropping (and basically like always having a 1.5x teleconverter with you), but its AF isn't quite as good as the R6II and it doesn't have some features like 1/16000 shutter, lens breathing correction or pre-shooting buffer.
Thank you.

SmallRig x Brandon Li Mobile Video Kit for iPhone 16 Pro series Co-design Edition Announced

This is really exciting news for iPhone videographers. Even though I don't have the new iPhone yet, these accessories are definitely tempting me to make the switch. The dual-handheld design and wireless quick-release handles are particularly appealing for stability and efficiency. The inclusion of a magnetic VND filter is also a great touch.
