I enjoyed using the EF-S 17-55/2.8 on a 7D. However, along the way I realized that the EF 24-105/4L on a FF camera was even better – wider, longer, and faster, coupled with the better noise performance of a larger sensor. Now, I get to pair a 24-105/2.8 with a FF sensor. IMO, the ultimate general purpose setup.

IMO, the only significant advantages of APS-C systems are generally lower cost, lighter weight and smaller size (I say generally because you can spend more on a Fuji APS-C system than a Canon FF system for the same coverage). Those are real, tangible advantages, but from an image-making standpoint FF gives more flexibility.

IMO, the R7 is aimed mainly at those using telephoto lenses and wanting more reach. Canon has provided a high performance crop body to pair with lenses like the RF 100-500L, 100-400, RF 600/11 and RF 800/11, and now the RF 200-800. Outside of the tele range, Canon is trying to push general users seeking better performance into FF bodies and lenses...and they've made doing so feasible, e.g. the R8 delivers good performance and a FF sensor for less than the cost of the R7, and there is a relatively inexpensive (compared to other brands) set of zooms covering 15-400mm.

I am one of those looking for smaller weight ( my neck is getting old) smaller cost and smaller size.

I had bought the Canon 7D with its excellent kit lens 15-85 as I do mainly travel photo this was the perfect kit for me. I added 10-22, 70-300, Sigma 30 1.4 and 60 macro. I want the RF 7 with a 15-85 or 15-60 at minimum.

I could go for RF6 and 24-105 but then I can dump all my other lenses and if I want to add more RF lenses it will cost me more and weight more . Will Canon RF APS-C ever come out with a travel lens like most competitors do ? If not I will swap to Fuji or Panasonic

The V10 was at 50% off in one of the largest retailers here in Norway simultaneously with a Canon summer cashback. I got a vlogging kit with some accessories from smallrig for about $120 shipped. I think it is safe to say that nobody asked for this product.

Meanwhile, the compact camera market has boomed to the point that IXUS models from over a decade ago goes way above retail and everything current in a compact form factor is on backorder way into the future. Imagine what a 200 IQ move it would have been to instead revitalize the popular ixus line which has not seen a release since 2017 and even further back for their high end models.

this camera is awesome. It's such an easy camera to use in the spur of the moment.

I am possibly the opposite of you, usually I pick a spot/species and stay set up on a tripod in the open where you can be seen. I spent a few hours outside a small field of patchy cover photographing a corncrake. Eventually it walked up to my tripod had a look around and back into its field. On a trip to the Shetlands we sussed out where to photograph Pharlarope. Next day we arrived early with our waders (on) and tripods. We set up in a few inches of water to get clear of the reeds. The birds arrived a good distance away so we waited. The Pharlaropes not only waded towards us but under our tripods and legs and continued past us. In both cases I could only enjoy the experience once they past my closest focusing point of my 500mm.

Not quite the same as my R5ii menu but the AEB does not seem to be engaged on mine.

Click to expand...

That is understandable if you have turned the camera power off since capturing the images. As per the manual page 145, AEB is automatically cancelled on powering off the camera.

As a guess, I think you have accidentally set AEB by using the M-Fn button when you setup for high speed shutter (burst as per your original post).

Well. I got the Scorp2.

Setup was straightforward. The gimble itself is solid. Design and features are very good. Unfortunately, I could not get my R5 C and RF24-70 to balance on the tilt axis. The camera is listed as compatible and supported. The combined weight is just under 4lbs. The gimbal is rated for 5.5Lbs payload. Although the gimbal is larger, you cannot move the camera back far enough to balance without it contacting the rotation arm and motor. This makes transition to underslung mode impossible. If you lower the mount on the tilt axis, the bottom of the body contacts the pan motor and swivel. It might work with a pancake or comparable lens. There is no way you could add a follow focus or control ring motor/rod. It won't balance.

I emailed the manufacturer and let them know, right before creating an RMA. This is a great gimbal for a smaller body and lens. I was hopeful, but in the end, a DJI Ronin appears to be the way to go.

Everyone does not. Some very basic searching will show you plenty of examples.

Every single camera seems to do it according to Photon to Photos but I have not checked every camera in existence.
Please provide an example of one that does not.

Interesting. The guy who sold it to the trusted dealer must have made a profit!

Got it myself.... Had to just RTFM (Read The Fine Manual )... I am leaving it here for google and other lazy... I mean lost souls like me.

I must admit - very nice indeed.

Anyone considering the R3 seriously while they wait? Currently the price difference here is $2100 … I want some of the R5 II features, but use my camera less now. And the R3 was the sh!t when it was released.. would’ve been really fun to try one out..

I see... How unfortunate. :-(

The Canon EOS R1 is scheduled to become available in November for $6299 USD, and the camera is already in production at a supposed rate of 3700 units a month. The EOS R1 was first used professionally Formula 1 races and the Paris games this past July, but it has continued to be professionally tested

My bad. Didn't said it correctly.... Model Z on RF mount.

UPDATE: I got the menu to unlock by attaching an old Yongnuo 600EXRTII to my R5mk2. It immediately unlocked the settings window, and I was able to flip it over to HSS. When I swapped that with the X2T trigger, the menu was still available, and it was already in HSS.

Hi!

Has anyone successfully setup their R5mk2 to work with an AD200 Pro in high speed sync? Under "External Speedlight Control" I can't get "Flash function settings" to open at all, which if I remember correctly, is where I set it up for HSS. Clicking on this gives me, "this menu cannot be displayed. Incompatible flash or flash's power is turned off". It worked perfectly on my R6... At first I thought maybe it was a battery issue, because I have an LP-ECNH mixed into my battery grip with the new P battery, so I removed the grip and put the P battery in. But that' didn't help, so now I'm just kind of lost. I'm using the Godox X2T trigger, btw.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Interestingly, it seems like you still get some minor banding with the electronic shutter. I saw banding at 1/8000th, 1/4000th, but NOT at 1/1600. Same for electronic first curtain. No banding at all in fully mechanical, which is what I expected.

Does anyone recognise these kind of serial numbers? The camera EXIF data has a 12 digit serial number, but the sticker only has 6. The camera was bought from a trusted camera store second hand with 1000 on the shutter and in perfect condition. The camera works perfectly.

I wear DEET pretty rarely. And regardless I *know* that stuff is really aggressive at attacking rubber and plastic. I wouldn't let it near my camera.

I try to avoid leaving camera stuff in a very hot car. Sometimes it's unavoidable, but I avoid it if at all possible.

Other extreme temp changes?? Well, I mean the camera is not a studio queen, so I guess yeah, sometimes? But no more than I go through in normal life, and I'm still alive.

Well, I'm just outside of Detroit, so the air is not great, not the world's worst.

Anyway, I found a new factory eyepiece on ebay. That was the most blatantly swollen part of the camera. I might hunt down a new front grip, but honestly I feel like it's just going to happen again.

I don't understand the suggestion of sending to Canon just for a few swollen rubber parts. I mean, I get it, I guess, but really, all that cost and time without my camera just to replace things that I could myself if I found the replacement parts?

I wonder where do you store your camera when not in use?

It must use digic accelerator !

Give me a break, that chip is 15$ extra for the cost of the camera and 5$ more for the motherboard circuits. And they charge 300-400 more dollars/euros extra mainly for stacked sensor.

Who told you that no digic accelerator is being used in R6iii ? Trusted source ?

I doubt it’ll happen, but one thing I’d like to see is IBIS trickling down to some of the smaller bodies. Something R50 sized would make for a great travel camera IMO, but I keep finding myself looking at the XT50 instead due to its higher resolution and IBIS (I know it’s significantly more expensive, but the budget is not an issue for me and the R7 becomes too big again)

Many of us have been suprised by Canon. We thought they wouldn't do rf mount aps-c. We thought we wouldn't see third party autofocus lenses. We thought a 50mm f/1.4 wouldn't appear but unless I misunderstood, the rumor seems to be credible. So, I more than ever, believe, "anything is possible."

Hey everyone,

Hoping someone can help. Ive just picked up a Canon R5 and the memory card door is creaking and driving me insane as everytime I pick it up it makes the noise you can feel the door move slightly.

Its exactly as in the video below.

- YouTube

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Has anyone had the same issue and does anyone have a fix?

Cheers

Hey. Ye im having the same issue. Door closes fine, but creaks when I push the bottom of it with my thumb.

The ink cartridges remain tiny at 80ml so that’s a pass.

I see no firmware updates available, so you should be current.

The video is definitely a must-watch. Recently, when he was on Conan's podcast, he talked a lot about the photography he loves to do. Great interview, As the Dude would say - definitely, like, check it out, man.

It did arrive, so there is some supply arriving for UK folk still waiting. Collected today, testing later today / tomorrow.
