The RF 200-500mm f/4L IS USM continues. Every so often we get a lens that simply won't come to fruition. I'm talking to you EF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM II and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM II. We recently reported that there will be two more lenses coming October 30 along with RF 24mm f/1.4L

Once the Canon EOS R1 was announced, there were a lot of questions as to what would have with the “3 series”. These questions were very much good ones, as the EOS R3 is aimed at the same customers as the EOS R1. Canon's official statement has been that the EOS R3 would continue, even

phototrend-fr interviewed France's Sigma rep. They touched on quite a few topics, but the discussion around the RF mount is of interest to us.

While a lot of people will use a camera until it dies and don't care about the update cycle, there will come a time when Canon will no longer service a camera. Third-party repair shops may continue beyond Canon dates as they stockpile parts from donor cameras. If you're looking to purchase used gear, you

We here at Canon Rumors are no stranger to being critical (perhaps overly) of Canon's APS-C camera and lens offerings. Outside of the EOS R10, which we feel is the best of the lineup when it comes from a value proposition, we don't think Canon has fully committed to the crop sensor segment. That aside,

Good morning!
I need some help from forum-experts on the R5 MK II out there.
I´ve seen, that my R5 MK II ran out of battery after two hours of shooting birds (600 pics taken). Recharched the batteries and went out in the morning, shooting for about 20 minutes, taking 40+ shots. My batteries were drained to 72 & 84 % (installed fully chared and registered) after this time.
The batteries are new, charched on original Canon charger.
WLAN, bluetooth are off (flight mode is activated, IS is off.
Inside some noise is detected, (sounds alike IS is working on my R5) - but IS is switched off on the 100mm Rf macro lens.
What can I do to stop this heavy drain??? On my R5, the drain is just 4% on both batteries.
Just dissatisfying. Don´t want to take 10 expensive batteries on a one day photo-session.


Thank you

I'm a sports editor of a weekly newspaper and I use a 7D with 2.8 70-200 and 2.8 24-70 lenses.
Looking to upgrade. Won’t be getting bigger lenses since I take notes during games.

I'm torn between the R5 Mark II and R3. I need the low-light performance of the R3 (high school field and court lighting) and the cropping of the 45MP R5 Mark II.

Thanks for any help.

So the fun with Canon dates continues. A Canon EOS R1 customer has received a shipping update for the Canon EOS R1 from B&H Photo. It looks like the USA will get a small allocation of the EOS R1 first, and it will begin shipping on November 14, 2024. For what it's worth, the person

Does Canon host events? I guess they do but how does one get invited/informed? I came across this photo of in a FB group as well as several other posts rom the same person and it appears Canon came to his zoo, and made bunches of gear available. This was in Denver. Everything he posted indicates this was Canon, and not a camera store or other organization.

I would certainly like to attend if something like that happened near me, but how would someone find out about this?

Just dropped off my R5 Mk II at Canon Irvine for condensation on the EVF, shot around the fog in Socal and when I got home and I was looking at my settings and panned the camera a bit and I noticed about 4 droplets, is it supposed to be weather sealed, The tech was even surprised that it happen with the R5 Mk II, no biggie I'll have it by Friday, it's the 2nd instance they had this so I guess it's normal.

So we were wrong, they aren't doing lens announcements in November, they're going to announce 3 new lenses on October 31, 2024. We have already told you what the next lenses would be, but we'll remind you! Lenses to be announced October 31, 2024 The above teaser is from the Canon USA instagram account. What
