Love him or hate him Jared is putting out the content many are interested in.

He seems very impressed.

Don’t really know what to make of it. The guy basically says it is unusable for longer shoots even at 24p in 4k because of overheating...

They are in raptures about the lens, which may be optically the best lens they have ever tested.

The camera is getting slammed by many for the heating issues and Canon expected this. This release is very Un-Canon-like, they were always known for reliability and won't add features if they dont work properly or with compromises in operation. A lot of canon users want a small body for serious video work but with high quality features. Who thinks that Canon might have another version in the near future that sacrifices the weather sealing for cooler internals. It makes sense to me to do that. I call it the EOS R5C. Canon you better pay me if you use this name.

Trying to determine if I will keep mine as a 2nd body or trade in for lenses when my R5 comes. Looks like Adorama is selling for $1,600 - $1,700 depending on condition and B&H doesn't have any, so would I figure on approx. $1,200 if I went one of those two places? Yet it looks like they're selling them new for about the same, though Adorama out of stock.

Canon Rumors · Jul 24, 2020

I previously mentioned that we’d be getting new adapters in 2020 for the RF mount, but I wasn’t sure which adapters were coming next.
I have been told the following adapters will be coming this year.

PL to RF with Cooke/i
EF-Cinema Lock to RF
Speedbooster (Perhaps for 4K recording on the EOS R)

There are usually announcements from Canon and others at the end of August or early September, so I suspect we’ll see these announced some time around then, along with new RF lenses.

Which RRS lens foot plates are you guys using on the RF 70-200L?

Thanks for any info.

Scenes · Jul 23, 2020

Hi guys. I shoot a lot of video with a 90D (80D before that and 70D before that) with a 17-55 f2.8.

I’m excited by the R6 and wondered how using it with an RF 24-105 f4 compares to what I’m used to, specifically with presenter talking to camera type stuff. I‘ve never used a full frame before and know the range matches but was wondering how the depth of field would compare?

Will being closer to the subject and the larger sensor offset losing a stop of light? It’s surprisingly hard to find mid shot portraits taken at 24m to get an idea. Lol.

Canon Rumors · Jul 23, 2020

I have been having some conversations with a source about the EOS M lineup and its future. Canon is apparently behind the system for the long haul by everything the source has been told.
I asked specifically if IBIS is something we’ll see in future EOS M cameras. The source has told me that Canon will likely be bringing IBIS to a camera or two in the EOS M lineup.
I was not told which upcoming EOS M camera would be getting IBIS, but I think the EOS M50 Mark II would be a good place to start. There’s also a chance that IBIS will be held for the rumored flagship EOS M camera body.
More to come…

Pretty disappointing if true as this is the only mode without overheating

Canon Rumors · Jul 23, 2020

In a pretty stunning move, one of the world’s largest news agencies has signed an exclusive agreement with Sony to use only their cameras for photojournalist work. This has usually been dominated by Canon and Nikon gear.
The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but I imagine the AP did get a pretty good deal on the switch. Both Canon and Nikon have aggressively pursued professional news agencies in the past decades, and this looks to be similar in nature.
From the Associated Press:
Sony Electronics Inc., a global leader in imaging, and The Associated Press, the trusted global news organization, announced today a new collaboration that will make Sony the exclusive imaging products and support provider for AP news photographers and video journalists around the world.
With journalists in nearly 250 locations in 100 countries, AP provides factual, compelling journalism in all formats, including 3,000 photos and 200 videos each day. The news agency has a distinguished history of...

Wow. Maybe political testimony / hearings will get quieter with silent shooting:

A member of the Fred Miranda Forums did some digging on Canon Japan’s web site and dug up full resolution sample images from the Canon EOS R5, Canon EOS R6, and all of the new lenses.
The sample images are a mix of shots using the Canon EOS R5, Canon EOS R6, RF 600mm f/11 IS STM, RF 800mm f/11 IS STM and the RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM along with current RF lenses such as the RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM and others.

How do the EVF in different EOS cameras compare?

I can read the tech spec, but I am interested in hands-on experience, usability and subjective impressions.

My only mirrorless camera with an EVF is the M5. I cannot say that I like its EVF. Contrast and saturation seem off. The brightness is not sufficient when used in bright sunlight.

I had a look through the R and RP in a camera store. They look better, but I couldn't take them out into sunlight.

What is your subjective experience with EVFs? Anyone here who can compare some of M5 - M50 - R - RP - R5 - R6? Other brands as well?

cayenne · Jul 22, 2020

Hi all,

Just curious....I believe I understand it that when you have had EOS cameras in the past, locked down on a tripod, either for video or stills, it was best to turn OFF the images stabilization on the lens if it has it.

So, does this also mean for the coming R5/R6...that you should turn off IBIS too when it is locked on a tripod?

If so, would be a bit of a PITA, since on most lenses there is a quick switch to hit, but I'd guess with IBIS you have to dig into the menu system to turn it off/on....unless maybe you mapped it custom to an external button?

Thoughts?

It's perhaps an usual combination of equipment but I was wondering if anyone has a 1 DX III and a Canon 11-24mm and/or a Sigma 14mm 1.8.
I've never had this before with a Canon camera.
The 11-24mm doesn't click into place when I put it on unless I really force it.
The Sigma too is needs a little push to click into place.
No other lens I've tried on the 1DX III has any issue at all.
I know tolerances can be fine but I thought it unusual. Anyone else experience it?

IMPORTANT EDIT: Canon has out-of-date MTF charts listed on its USA site for some lenses. Thanks to alerts from subsequent posts, I have gone to the Japanese site https://cweb.canon.jp/eos/ and have revised the charts and conclusions. This opening post has been rewritten so as not to mislead and I have added data from the EF and RF extenders.

Canon has at last uploaded the calculated MTF values for the new R telephotos, and I have made a collage of them with the those from the 100-400mm II as reference. To summarise, the 100-500 is slightly better at 100mm and slightly weaker at 500mm than the 100-400mm II at 400mm. The differences are slightly magnified by the EF and and RF 1.4x and 2xTCs. The new RF 2xTC gives a significant hit on IQ and does not appear to be an improvement on the old 2xTCIII. The 600mm and 800mm f/11 lenses are somewhat disappointing in terms of resolution and are outperformed in IQ by the RF zoom with extenders where the focal lengths overlap and to a similar extent by the old 100-400mm II.
