Will Canon bring back in camera HDR to the R5 II?
I used it a lot in my R5.

A strange vignette when recording in 8K Raw looks fine in 4K and ideas with the 24-105 2.8?

Canon has updated the EOS R5 C firmware to version 1.0.8.1, with it comes new features and the always ambiguous bug fixes. It looks like a nice update based on user feedback. Download firmware v1.0.8.1 for the Canon EOS R5 C

Are the big whites able to focus faster or any better than the rest of the EF range ?

Currently I own an R6 and have an R5II on order, along with a Lexar 128GB Gold CF Express Type B Card that the retailer were doing as a 1/2 price deal when ordering the R5II.

However, I am looking to get maybe the Prograde Digital 512GB CF Express 4 Type B card or a Nextorage 512GB card.

What are the opinions on these as mid range budget cards?

Before the launch of the Canon EOS R5 Mark II, we talked about the delivery schedule that was told to dealers for inventory. We mentioned that Canon was going to have the initial allocation, and then the last week of August there would be another, and then again in mid-September. That is apparently not happening,

Pre ordered my R5 JULY 20th, but did not get one on the release date, when’s the next batch coming ?

Kazuhiro Morimoto of Canon will be talking at IEEE Sensors 2024, about SPAD sensors (single photon avalanche diode) sensors. These are atypically used for time of flight measurements and other light sensitive applications.

Hi all, hope your day is wonderful.

As many know delivery of the R5 II has been extremely limited in Europe so while I wait I had some questions.

1 ) I am a video-n00b and would like to know what the best 4K video setting is if I don’t want to postprocess, but use the files directly from the camera. Can I shoot CLOG2 add a LUT in camera and have a finished video file to view on my tv ?

2) Does anyone know how the camera is as good weathersealed as the mk1 with the vent holes?

3) which mic that doesn’t pick up «camera sounds» would you recommend for the new hotshoe? I’ve always used an onboard Voicerecorder that are both cheap and has superb sound quality with a lot more options than your standard mic, but I’m think there might be som more fun alternatives with the new hotshoe?

4) Does antiflicker work with electronic shutter now?

5) one person has confirmed that using HSS in ES is possible, have any more of you also found that to work with any issues?

6) Do you know why it’s not possible to use faster than 1/8000s in Av?

Sony Electronics introduces the FE 85mm F1.4 GM II (SEL85F14GM2), a premium lens that delivers high resolution, smooth bokeh, and fast AF (autofocus) in a lightweight and compact body.

A few times now while shooting macro with flash the camera does some strange things - doesn't see the flash and accommodate on lcd or vf - the screen is dark and grainy and pumps the iso up. then sometimes when i shoot there is a black horizontal section over the top 1/3 of the shot consistently - its not a shutter synch issue, 1/160 1/200 speeds with a godox V860iii flash - and then also i have to fight with it to focus properly. Turning flash and/or camera on and off does not fix it, removing flash and reinstalling doesn't fix it - BUT when i remove the battery (one that came with camera) and put it back in the issue goes away. Also own an R8 and never have this issue.

With Football season starting I would like to hear from others what AF set up you used to get best results when shooting football. In short testing during practice I tried Basketball setting and found focus was faster and I had a higher hit rate over no priority. Anyone else been experimenting? Please share.

The next big trade-show on the schedule is IBC2024 at the RAI in Amsterdam. It begins on September 13 and runs through September 16. The focus of this tradeshow is broadcasting and cinema for the most part. We attended it last year, and it was probably our favourite show since the glory days of Photokina

Hi, Good evening everyone,

I want your advice; I am considering buying my first mirrorless camera, currently using a 5D Mark II. I do portraits, weddings, dance, scene photography.

I am considering the R6 Mark II for this transition to a new ecosystem; Is it the correct choice, should I wait for the R6 Mark III or the R5?

Do you have an idea of the R6 Mark III specifications?

Thanks for your help and a big hug from Madrid Spain.

Best Regards,

Xoán.

I haven't seen/heard much in the way of comparison from owners of the R3 that bought the new R5 II.

I'm interested to know if the new R5 II has basically retired your R3 or if you still grab the R3 as your preferred body.

The price points are so similar now that it would be good to hear if one body excels beyond the other.

And if you had to do it again would you sit on the R3 and pass on the R5 II or do you think the R5 II was a good buy?

Can you use the New batteries such as the one that came with my R5m2 in the older EOS bodies
such as my R7?

Please forgive me if this has been posted here before, but I couldn't find it.




I found this on Reddit. It's a small script to run on our cameras that should tell us what we need. On my R6, the numbers are exactly according to my expectations.

Canon basic scripting (free)


The two files in the video are here. To make the card able to run them, download EOSCard.

1. Format the card in camera. The card needs to be 32GB or less.
2. Mount the card in Windows and open EOSCard. Choose the card and mark the script checkbox. Close EOSCard.
3. Unpack the two files you downloaded from here and move them to the card.
4. Unmount the card.
5. Install the card in your camera. Second card slot if you have two.
6. Turn on the camera, go to Playback mode and hit SET. Turn off the camera and, unmount the card and mount it in a computer.

On my R6, TotalShoot matches the total of captures I made with my camera since I bought it, whether using MS or ES, but TotalShutter seems to match the mechanical shutter actuations, because its value increments by one everytime I turn my camera on (I have my camera set to close the shutter curtains when powered off), and everytime I take a picture using MS, but it does not change when I take a picture using ES, so I guess we can pretty much subtract "TotalShutter" from "TotalShoot" to get the amount of electronic actuations.

Also, video recording doesn't change the value of "TotalShoot".

The script it pretty simple and you can open it with Notepad.


According to the feedback on YouTube, it does not seem to work with the R6 Mark II.

Update:
So far, I confirmed myself it works at least with the R6, RP and R100.

On cameras that do not feature a complete mechanical shutter, TotalShutter will display a huge number, but TotalShoot will display the total amount of photographs taken.

TotalRunningTime seems to be in seconds.

This is a petition to Canon to consider the reintroduction of the PowerShot G1x Mark 1 CMOS 1.5" sensor camera with a faster zoom lens (perhaps with a 25-140mm @ f1.8-3). It was a powerful point and shoot camera of its time having impressive built quality and an unique 1.5" size CMOS sensor-lies in between Micro 4/3 and APSC-packed in a small body that felt substantial in hand. Slightly higher megapixel (approx. 24 MP for 4k 60 and cropping image), digital viewfinder and improved battery life will make it a formidable point and shoot for those who are looking for a small all rounder cameras that can take better photos and videos (especially for social medias) without braking the bank.

A few impressions...

The plan is to use it for street, portrait and some landscape if you have it on a body and what to grab a couple frames. You have a EF 35mm (RF adapter), RF 100mm Macro, 70-200mm 2.8 and the 100-500mm.

What would you add to your lens stable?

Has anyone taken the R6ii on rides at Disney World? I’m not planning on pictures or video while on any rides, but I will have the camera in a camera bag with me on any rides I do with my family. Is it ok to take the camera on roller coasters or other jerky rides?

Hi - I put my RF 18-150 on my R5m2 and looked thru the viewfinder and it -seemed- to fill the frame. Since this
lens is "designed for crop factor" I was half expecting it to be less than stellar around the edges unless the camera
is put in crop factor mode. I did not take a picture - probably should have.
I'm hoping that someone here has experience with using this lens on a FF camera and can report results ... ???

Hello people,

This rumour was one that excited me so much, a RF 24-70 mm 2.8 L II with internal zoom. However, looks it will be for RF 70-200 mm 2.8 L instead. Is a new RF 24-70 still possible soon?

Cheers!
