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.

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!

We have been sitting on this one for a while, but we have now heard it from more than one source, so we think it's solid enough to put out there. Canon apparently has plans to have at least one constant aperture zoom lens for APS-C cameras, with the possibility for another one or two.

Got 2 bodies yesterday. There is a loud clutteing noise whenever the camera body is moved. Most likely is the IBIS but it really is loud as if a metal part is banging against another. The banging noise goes down when a lens is attached but never dies unless the camera is not touched for a while. Also, while shooting- a continuous hum is present likely form the same IBIS- pretty annoying and I guess it will ruin the audio-if video is recorded.

Both the cameras behaved identically.

Never noticed this noise with the original R 5 and I have 3 of them

Anybody else worried about it?

I am seriously thinking to return and get replacement copies

One of the many conversations that Craig and I have had was about tripods. As it turns out, I liked the leaver leg locks, and Craig liked the twist locks. So I thought it was rather amusing that Manfrotto released the Advanced travel tripod that offers your choice of leg locks.

About 4 years ago, Canon trolled me with a series of patent applications describing a handheld interchangeable lens camera attached to a handheld gimbal system. It appeared as if Canon was thinking about taking the EOS-M in a different direction.

We all know Jeff Cable at this point, and he has been gracious enough to answer our questions and give a ton of images and feedback on both the Canon EOS R1 and Canon EOS R5 Mark II from the Paris Games. Shooting an Olympics is an extremely demanding experience, you shoot a ton, you're

In responding to another thread, I just noticed that there is now a huge gap in price points between the Canon R6 II at $1,999 and the R5 II at $4,299. The R5 Mk I is sitting at $2,999, but I doubt that is the long-term solution. The R6 III will likely come in around $2.5k, but that still leaves a sizable gap.

Either Canon believes that the overall market is splitting into two groups or something is coming to fill that gap.

My inital guess is an R6-s. 80-100 MP. They could use the same 12 fps mechanical shutter they are favoring: 12 fps x 80 = 960 MB/sec, 12 fps x 100 = 1,200, both lower than R5 II (45 x 30 = 1,350) and in line with the R1 (40 x 24 = 960). While I know some will want higher fps, but I am just basing the limitation on what we have seen from Canon to date. 12 fps is enough for a lot of instances, landscape for sure, and even wildlife from the 2010's (they were slower then ).

Any other thoughts on what Canon could release that would fill the gap between $2-2.5k and $4.3k?

The Canon EOS 300D is now old enough to drink in the United States.

Got the R5mk2 yesterday. My shop got 10 units so I would say Croatia got 20 units all together.
First impressions:
In video modes heavily dependent on the new battery which are currently hard to get.
The eye control af doesn’t seem to work vertically at all and horizontal not even close as it was working on R3 with my eye. Actually I used it successfully on the R3 even through polarised glasses.
Also it managed to freeze in 4k raw 50 when waking from standby mode. It happens 2 times and I had to turn off the camera to be able to use it. (First image)
8k50 raw with RF 24-70 /2.8 has this aura visible with all the lens corrections turned on in camera. It is not visible in 4K raw modes.
I didn’t notice it until I’ve put it in resolve. (Second image)
also the rubber hot shoe cap does not fit well on the original R5.
Video is nice, much cleaner image and lineskip modes seam a bit better than the one in the R5 (need more testing of that)
4k raw has some moire in some patterns, you can tell it is line skipped but it is nice and sharp. I would say it feels a bit artificially sharpen.
I hope the Biggs are just software problems and they will be fixed with the next firmware.

Did you guys encounter any?

Get it while you can. B&H Photovideo has at the time of post, the Canon EOS R5 Mark II in stock. Stock may be very limited and it could go right back on backorder after the initial shipments are gone.

This year from Canon seems to be the year in which almost the entire full-frame lineup is refreshed. We have seen the R5 Mark II, R1, and later this year if rumors hold, the R6 Mark III. Outside of the R8, which was only released in early 2023, Canon mostly completed an entire system refresh of their full-frame cameras. Notably missing is the APS-C lineup, which is most likely the least competitive of Canon’s RF cameras.

In this patent application (2024-111453), Canon explores the super telephoto zooms that ended up with the Canon RF 200-800mm f/6.3-9 IS USM. However, there are some other interesting designs in here worth exploring so let's go through them and you'll have to tell me if Canon should have gone for broke and made a 200-1000mm.

...available for all digital cameras even the ones that have been discontinued?

I bought a near NIB EOS 1Ds MkII on eBay with a very low shutter count. However the firmware was two or three versions behind the most current which I believe is 1.1.6.

1.1.6 allows the camera to recognize a media card larger than 8GB.

I was able to procure that firmware from another forum site.

Canon will at least keep owners manual for older DSLRs and Mirrorless so why not the last good firmware update for older DSLRs and Mirrorless?

...instead of DSLRs or mirrorless?

Canon has a fine line of XA pro-camcorders and Cinema video cameras?

Some of those are compatible with EF lenses.

Aren't the Canon videography equipment better than a DSLR/mirrorless?

Hello dear people of the Canon interwebs,

has anyone had the joy of comparing the ST-E 10 against ye olde ST-E3 RT? My new camera comes this week and I am contemplating a switch between these two models. As far as I can tell the main difference are those:

ST-10 vs ST-E3 RT - Main Differences (as far as I can tell)

• No batteries, powered by the camera
• No display, just two buttons
• Flash controls directly through the camera
• Substantially lighter
• Only works with the new hotshoe

Is there anything else I am missing here? Can I control the speedlites the same as on my ST-E3 RT? Or am I loosing functionality in that regard? Or am I better off just buying that damn backordered adapter (AD-E1 it‘s called, I think) and be done with it?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

All the best,
Moritz

Yodobashi Camera released their top 10 lens list for July and well, basically, Sony cleans up. This is for Yodobashi camera stores in Japan only.

The Canon RF 200-500mm f/4L IS USM has been rumored for more than year and has had varying levels of excitement surrounding it. Now, we did say it would be coming in Q4 of 2023 and smacked a big [CR3] on it. So after that didn't come to pass, we now roll with CR4, which

Hey folks. Just wondering if anyone had heard if existing L-Brackets for Mark 1 body will also fit Mark II? Thinking on the lines of : https://www.3leggedthing.com/eu/rox...tUMm5VKL7Q0adGrM0fzM37--UWjP45SJetH_PoeQgmSfE
