I forget if I've seen a video where someone tried this or not, but does anyone know if third party lenses have been tested on the EOS R yet? I would hope that anything that works on a current camera would work on the EOS R with an adapter, but it'd be nice to know this for sure.

Anyone have any input on what's the best way to transfer the data from CFAST card to a portable HDD without using laptop, tablet or mobile devices?

I currently only have one Sandisk 128GB Cfast card for my 1DX2 that can fill up so fast when recording 4k/60.
There are times when I couldn't bring my Surface Pro 2 or portable HDD on the job due to reasons.

Therefore I'm wondering what's the best way to backup the data on the CFast card on the go.

None of the folks who have replied with such anger to speculation regarding the future of EF has adequately explained their anger. The general reply is along the lines of "crazy talk." Fortunately there are patient CR members who clearly and logically explain why they aren't worried, why EF is still good to buy when needed now, and good products to hold for some years. And I do appreciate and thank them! Maybe I did get a little too worried about things happening too fast with the change from EF to RF (yes, I predicted a new mount with an adapter, as did many, many others). But I knew there would be a few more years of EF relevance, just not innovation. I never claimed EF would die a sudden-death, but that it would, upon the release of a new FF mirrorless, become a legacy tech, supported for a time, but not kept in the forefront of engineering and marketing.

I do not believe RF is a side line or a niche or a one-off or an experiment. I believe Canon is committed to making it part of their flagship pro and prosumer bodies. Wrong or right, people who believe something and explain themselves the best they can, people who have been members here discussing dozens of topics for years...We aren't "trolls." But people who call us such because we've scared the fish swimming in the aquariums of their minds are, well, not very pleasant. Maybe they are just stressed out in this big world of constant change. Who isn't? But if you click "Ignore" because a post has made you think, challenges your own view, wow, how sad that is even for a middle-school kid, much less an adult.

HardwareZone had a chance to sit down with Canon executives and discuss the development of the Canon EOS R. They covered all the topics a lot of people seem to care about, like the omission of IBIS and the 1.7x crop in 4K shooting.

Why is there no in-body image stabilization (IBIS) in the EOS R?
Shoji Kaihara: We had to look at the balance of the entire camera, like the size and other aspects. Based on that, it’s not something we are able to include in the EOS R at this time. We are quite aware that there are pros and cons to that.
Why does the EOS R shoot 4k video with a 1.7x crop?
Shoji Kaihara: When developing the EOS R, we looked at all the hardware we had in the pipeline. When we look at the image processor and CMOS sensors that we have — we have restrictions, unfortunately, and that’s why we ended up with the 1.7x crop.
How...

I´d be interested, if any user has practical knowledge how fast the Eos R i,s when used with an 500 or 600mm prime lens, or the 100-400mm II?
Did anybody test this with these lenses? Is it still aroung 5 FPS, or less?
I saw an video report, where the mentioned, the EOS R is very slow, when used with non-generic lenses.

I've been mulling over getting a 5DSr since they came out but have always held off thinking just a couple more features would keep me happier for longer. Anyway the primary reason for a high MP camera is I print on a 24" printer regularly so would take the 'hero' shots with one, 24"x36" prints really need more than 20MP, also I have a couple of thousand slides I want digitized and only want to do it once, however it's waited this long so I'm in no real rush on that.

Anyway there are a few things I'd really like to see in a MkII.

1/ On sensor ADC. I have the newer sensors and they make a difference, sometimes.
2/ WiFi. I like remote control and am looking forwards to DPP Express on the iPad.
3/ Illuminated buttons. I do a little night sky stuff and illuminated buttons would work very well for that.
4/ GPS. I've come to take it for granted since having it and it adds a nice search term.

What are you looking for in a 5DSr MkII?

RGF · Sep 22, 2018

For me, I need either high MP or high frame rate - landscapes/macro and wildlife.

Until Canon can deliver a ML that can my needs, I'll wait. If they can I will glad consider leaving my dSLR at home and become a ML shooter.

Anyone know whether it will be technically feasible to make an adaptor for FD lenses to attach to an R body? Or whether it is being/has been done?

Jim Saunders · Sep 21, 2018

Indulge my curiousity: Ignoring the question of integrating the electronics, is there a reasonable amount of room for a leaf shutter in the volume of one of the various adapters? Asking for a friend who has this weird thing with flash sync speed...

Excuse my ignorance, but I feel like I am missing something. The new adapters for the RF mount state that it can take EF-S lenses. However, I thought EF-S lenses were only for crop sensors. How can a full frame sensor use a EF-S lens?

I'm very anxious to see how the R's Bluetooth/wi-fi function will work with the Canon app on my cell phone. We are avid hikers on the Benton MacKaye and Appalachian Trails here in the North Ga Mtns and wouldn't be carrying a bulky laptop but always have a cell phone with us, so am hoping I can set camera to immediately dump full res photos as I take them to my phone, offering both redundancy and ability to immediately text select photos on demand to whomever, providing I'm on a trail section with cell service. Hoping this will be a seamless transition without hiccups, offsetting the one card slot issue and debate. Anyone out there with any experience using the Canon phone app???

Thanks for all the input and suggestions, Rumors posters. Much appreciated.

We’re told that Canon will definitely release an RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS in 2019. We don’t think that is a big secret as Canon has mentioned there are a few f/2.8 zoom lenses coming next year. We also suspect a wide angle f/2.8L zoom is coming as well as an RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS.
The same source says Canon will likely release an EF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS sometime in 2019, possibly as early as May 2019.
There were no details given as to when we could expect an RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS, but suspect it’ll be in the 2nd half of next year.

hehe. Including one adapter for PL lenses. Looks like mechanical coupling only, but no electronics?

Recently a list of camera certifications for 2019 got posted.

There are only 3 cameras that "could" be the 7d iii:

the K437 (32 mp dslr)
the K435 (24 mp dslr)
the K436 (24 mp dslr)

It cant be the K437 because there is no way that they are gonna use a 32mp sensor for a high fps sports cam.
And it also cant be the K435 and K436, because they only have 4 batterly level indications (7d series has 6).

Unles im missing something important, this means that there will be NO 7d iii in 2019. That's really depressing, i was looking forward to it.

I have purchased 5 Canon cameras within the past 7 years. I initially purchased a Canon Rebel slr. I then purchased a Canon EOS Rebel and a Canon video cameral which had a hard drive. I later purchased another updated version of the Rebel as a gift and a G9 Power Shot.

The only camera which has not failed and is the slr and the new Rebel which I purchased last year for Christmas. The video camera, first eos rebel and the G9 have completely malfunctioned and quit operating. I have contacted the company and was told that they would be happy to replace the G9 with a refurbished one for $250. I feel that I have been a loyal Canon customer and that they should either repair the G9 which only lasted 15 months as well as the video camera which stopped working in less than 2 years. I feel that they must be having quality control problems and I will not purchase a Canon product again.

My question is has anyone else been having or experienced problems with Canon ?

EOS R image quality

Normally I wouldn’t care too much about this, but I saw banding happen very early with the files Jared had for download previously and to see it now also, and not in a structured pattern has me a bit concerned.

I loved my 1dx, but IQ wise the upgrade to the 1dx2 was massive, and I was going to get the EOS R to replace my 1dx2, for many reasons, but seeing this makes me not want it at all....

I’ll probably get shot for posting this, but hey, it’s a concern to me... and to those who are just going to say “expose properly” I know how to do that already. I saw banding in the shots Jared had and it just felt like I hit the limit of the file much earlier than the 1dx2 files...
