Will there likely be a firmware release in the near future for any of the EOS R cameras that enables them to de-squeeze anamorphic lenses in body (now that we are starting to see these affordable, autofocus-capable, anamorphic lenses come on the market)?

Any info on this would be great!

Hi,

Hope you all had a nice weekend! So I just discovered this issue on my Canon VCM 35MM.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yInUxIfumiE

I was holding my camera steady, and the images shifts left and right before getting into its supposed position. Should I send this lens to Canon to recalibrate? It doesn't happen all the time, but it happens enough for me to step back and wonder whats going on.

It is long time firmware update for Canon R6.Can we expect it 2026 with decent features

Canon launched the VCM line of hybrid lenses with the RF 35mm f/1.4L VCM in June of 2024, and since then, they have added five more lenses to the series. We have reported in the past that Canon would be adding one more lens to the series with a longer focal length than the 85mm […]

My R5 was always a little slow to restart after been unused for a few minutes.
It was a distinct lag maybe 1 second.
I just got an R5II and I'm surprised it has the same general issue.
I saw a thread from 2025 and it was around memory cards being the reason.
Is this really the case or is the camera just slow waking up.
This is generally not a huge issue. With the R5 I had the habit of pressing the focus button as I lifted it up to my eye.
I'm surprised I now need to do the same to the R5II.
I would have expected it to be more responive.
If its card related - why would that be the case. Why would the viewfinder not be ready if it was the card was slow waking up?
Does it happen with all mirrorless cameras.

Did anyone else get this advisory from Canon about a Vulnerability in the Network Setting Tool? It looks legit but you always have to wonder if it's spam

It seems like eons ago that Canon announced the EOS R6 V to relatively positive fanfare. Back on May 13, Canon announced both the EOS R6 V camera and RF 20-50mm f/4 L IS USM PZ lens. The lens is the default kit lens for the R6 V. Cameras began shipping to customers yesterday ahead […]

It looks like the Canon EOS RP has been officially discontinued in parts of Asia. This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, as the RP was announced on February 13, 2019, and it has had a long run. Over the last six months, it seems the camera body was either removed from order books […]

Canon spends a lot of time trying to make lenses smaller and lighter, and most of us out there appreciate the effort. Canon has done a great job over the years shaving weight off of lenses as they evolve into new versions. “Sandwich” Lens Element One of Canon’s latest patent applications is geared toward weight […]

I've had my R1 since December of 2024. It gets very little use -- I just dabble. When I first got it I did some basic astrophotography with great results.

Tonight I decided to do some more -- and to my dismay, noticed that I now have extreme hot pixels in a cluster that were not visible before. I can actually see a white splotch in live view at just 2" and 1600 ISO.

The cluster is so bad that stacking with darks does not remove it.

Claude tells me this is 727 pixels pegged at the sensor's max in that one spot.

I'm attaching a hard-stretch so you can see what I mean.

I'm guessing I am entirely on the hook for this as an out of warranty repair. Anyone have any insight, suggestions, or condolences?

Photography only - hobbyusage - no paid assignments
What are Your thoughts about IBIS when you shoot only 1 person portraits and boudoir within the 35-85mm range?
Mostly homestudio shooting, with occasional "golden hour shots" in a park or a forest-backround.

Do you consider IBIS either wihin the camerabody or the lens crucial to get a sharp image?

Brightin Star has officially announced the MF 14mm F2.8 wide angle lens for the RF mount. This is a manual focus lens as you’d expect for the Canon world. At 14mm, autofocus becomes less important due to depth of field, and you can zone focus this focal length quite easily. Brightin Star is known for […]

Canon is going to be announcing an RF 24-70mm f/2L this year, and for the moment, that would be a “World’s first.” We don’t know when the official announcement will be, but we suspect we’ll see it in late August or early September. We don’t know whether or not the lens will have image stabilization. […]

I found this part which I suspect is a part of an FD 500mm f4.5L lens.
Anyone recognise it ?

There has been a lot of talk about follow-ups to both the RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM and RF 28-70mm f/2L USM lenses. The 24-70 is a bread-and-butter lens, and the 28-70 f/2L was a “halo” — “hey, look what we can do!” — product when it was announced alongside the EOS R system in […]

We get asked a lot about the EOS R7 Mark II. I think it’s because it has been reported on for so long that it’s on the minds of many. It has been four years since the Canon EOS R7 launched, and most of the photo world expected a Mark II version at some point […]
