The 760d has very good specs, for Canon, that is. The camera body is much smaller than a xxd and most likely the firmware is crippled vs. the 70d - but still, it's a challenge.

+ AF 19-point cross-type. Center F2.8 corresponding dual cross (take that, 6d!)
+ RGB-IR photometry sensor. 63 zone TTL metering
- shutter 1/4000s, x-sync 1/200s
- 5fps
* newest dpaf and anti-flicker

Do you think the 70d will be the last xxd and in the future, there will just be "premium" Rebels and the semi-pro 7d2? Or is there still room for something in between?

Monopod - advice what to purchase

I am considering to get a monopod for a bit more support when shooting portraits with my new manual focus Zeiss 135 /f2. Especially after holding it for longer and using a Zacuto loupe and liveview I am suffering from lactic acid building up in my muscles :P The lens is relatively heavy and at a long distance from my eye since I have the Zacuto loup between my eyes and the camera.

I am considering to get a Gitzo monopod (carbon I think), but I also need a (ball) head. What would you choose and what is good enough (but not overkill) for this? Thoughts and ideas appreciated ;D

Thanx,
Niels

1D X Power Adapter

From memory the 1D X did not come with a power adapter, and despite having two batteries there are times when it would be useful to be plugged into the mains and save the battery for when that is not an option.

As such, has anyone used the Canon ACK-E4 AC Adapter Kit (100-240v)? Any thoughts or comments on it?

It looks pretty straight forward and genuine, but thought I would ask here before buying it.

Thanks.

Future Canon DSLR Strategy for More Focused Products?

HTML:
<p>Are the day of a Canon DSLR that can do a little bit of everything numbered? It’s suggested at Northlight that the “splitting” of camera lines will be the future of Canon’s DSLR strategy. Each camera model will have a specific customer in mind. As we can see, the 5D line is being split 2 ways (3 if you count the “R” model), can we expect the same with 1D line, or a DSLR that is focused on video first?</p>
<p><strong>From Northlight

</strong><em>“The ‘splitting’ of model types in the Canon DSLR range will be interesting to see from a product positioning point of view. I’m told that it’s seen as a major benefit from ‘bringing home’ a lot of Canon’s manufacturing, and will become integral in producing cameras that are marketed more by what you can do with them.”</em><strong>

5Ds or 5Ds R for Studio and Portrait Work

Hello everyone,
with all the news about Canons 50Mpx Camera, I need to adress my personal elephant in the room.
I've been working with the 5D MK II for 5 years now and I want to replace it with the 5Ds, I like the 50mpx and the autofocus upgrade. The 5D MK II finaly feels a bit outdated to me.
I mostly shoot fashion and beauty portraits in studio and work on location with strobes.
So now I'm not sure which 5Ds Version to buy. It seems Canon is adressing Landscape Photogaphers with the R Version, however a lot of people here to tend towards R Version also for studio work.
Which camera version would you recommend for my line of work?

Below are some examples of what I shoot mostly:

Cheers,

7D MK II vs 5D MK III

Hey guys,

i need kinda help! Right now i am intrested in the mentioned bodies. I know its kinda typical.... full frame or not.

Basicly right now i own eh 70D. It is a good kamera with descent performance, but there is one thing i dont like which kinda annoys me. That are the ergonomics. My hands are to big for that little body.

So i got the idea to step up to the higher end of the canon line up.

So while there is no "real" upgrade on the sensor side from the 70D to 7D MK II there is still the amazing body.

On the other side there are a lot of used 5D MK III on the market for arround 2000 Euro. So for arround 400 Euro more i can enter the realm of full frame goodness.

On the lense side there is no problem all of my lenses are fullframe lenses.

Mainly i do creative work like costume/cosplay shoots with a 3 flash setup, but often i find myself do some day/night street photography as well as some nature/wildlife photography.

So any suggestions?

A problem with 5D mark III firmware 1.3.3

Hello,

I've noticed the following problem after update to latest firmware 1.3.3:

Lens is Zeiss ZE APO Sonnar 135mm f/2.0

In live view Av mode, aperture set to f/2.0, camera changes aperture (closes it by itself) when lighting conditions changed. Displayed value stays on f/2.0, but looking into lens you can see that aperture closes down. It happens dеspate exposure simulation is enabled or disabled.

In movie live view mode camera behaves as normal.

I would like to ask if anyone else has the same problem?

Canon EOS 5DS & EOS 5DS R Press Release

HTML:
<p><strong>*UPDATE*

</strong>As <a href="https://twitter.com/canonrumorsguy" target="_blank">some have pointed out on Twitter</a>, there doesn’t appear to be any mention of video features. While I do know the camera will have some video capabilities, that’s not the focus of this camera. I suspect this is a partial press release.</p>
<p><strong>Canon revolutionises resolution with the EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R

</strong>London, UK, 6 February 2015 – Canon today transforms the EOS system with the arrival of the EOS 5DS and the EOS 5DS R – a new breed of ultra-high resolution full-frame DSLRs.</p>
<p>Breaking the boundaries of 35mm sensors,the new cameras offer the highest megapixels ever seen in a full frame sensor, an astonishing 50.6MP. Delivering unparalleled quality, the cameras provide an exceptional combination of resolution, responsiveness and durability, whether shooting landscapes, architecture, high fashion or portraiture, either personally or professionally. When nothing but the sharpest image is expected, the EOS 5DS R also features a low pass cancellation filter to maximise the sensor’s resolution and visible image quality.Alongside the new DSLRs, Canon also introduces the EF 11-24mm f/4L USM, the world’s widest-angle rectilinear zoom lens(1), the perfect companion for landscape and architecture photographers.</p>
<p><strong>Establishing new standards for full-frame DSLRs

</strong>Setting a new benchmark for full-frame cameras, the EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R combine fast, instinctive DSLR handling with the newly-developed 50.6MP CMOS sensor, providing the flexibility to shoot a wide range of scenes and subjects, making it ideal for large format mediums, such as advertising billboards and magazine covers, where every pixel matters. The sensor’s advanced architecture provides</p>
<p>ISO 100-6400 sensitivity, further expandable to 50-12800, ensuring high quality images with low noise, accurate colours and wide dynamic range. For added flexibility, the cameras’ resolution enables three new in-camera crop shooting modes–1.3x, 1.6x and 1:1. Visible through the viewfinder, the crop modes deliver outstanding results, with stills at 19 MP even when cropped to 1.6x. Built to withstand the most demanding shoots, the EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R’s dual DIGIC 6 processors provide the rapid performance and responsiveness required to deliver first-class images with exceptional colour reproduction. Both processors are designed to comfortably manage huge levels of image data from the 50.6MP sensor, whilst simultaneously reducing image noise and providing the freedom to shoot at five frames per second.</p>
<div data-canvas-width="236.2376">
<p><strong>Automatically exceptional</strong>

Created to ensure every detail of your exquisite landscape or high-fashion studio shoot is in focus, the EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS Rfeature an advanced 61-point AF system, with 41 cross-type points, delivering incredible levels of image sharpness and accuracy across the frame. Both cameras comfortably maintain focus with moving subjects, using EOS Intelligent Tracking and Recognition AF (iTR) to track both faces and colour. To reduce image blur, Canon’s Mirror Vibration Control System uses cams to drive the cameras’ mirror up and down in a highly controlled fashion, avoiding all sudden stops and softening the shutter-release sound. Additionally, the EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R’s 150k pixel RGB+IR metering sensor with Flicker Detection ensures images can be captured with consistent and accurate exposures under varying lighting scenarios, including florescent.</p>
<p><strong>Incredible detail and unrestricted creativity

</strong>Putting unrivalled image quality at your fingertips, the EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R include a number of customisable modes and settings to ensure stunning results every time. A new Fine Detail Picture Style maximises the level of detail that can be achieved from the sensor, enabling advanced sharpness adjustment without the need for edit ing software. Popular creative modes, including Multiple Exposure and HDR, provide instant, in-camera creativity, while a built-in timer allows you to shoot over long periods and create stunning time lapse videos, without being tied to the camera or needing advanced software and excessive kit.</p>
<p><strong>First-class professional construction, customisable features

</strong>The EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R have been expertly constructed to allow you to operate quickly, regardless of the environment you’re shooting in. The 100% viewfinder with electronic overlay makes framing vital shots easy and can be customised to your preferred style. The large, 8.11cm (3.2”) Clear View II LCD screen, with an anti-reflective structure, minimises reflection or glare when reviewing shots and also acts as a visual and accessible dashboard of the most commonly used settings. The cameras’ new Custom Quick Control screen means that the type, size and position of icons are also easily customisable to the user or shooting scenario. Both cameras utilise Canon’s iconic design DNA–a highly durable body constructed from high-grade magnesium alloy to provide weather resilient shooting – ideal for landscape photographers who are dedicated to getting the perfect shot, whatever the weather.</p>

<div data-canvas-width="14.997839999999997">
<p><strong>EOS 5DS R: Engineered for the ultimate in DSLR image quality

</strong>When nothing but the absolute maximum level of detail possible will do, the EOS 5DS R features a low pass cancellation filter to ensure the sharpest possible results. Great for landscape photographers, where patterns are very often organic, the camera’s low pass cancellation filter produces the stunning level of detail required to turn agreat shot into an incredible shot.</p>
<p><strong>Optical Expertise: Introducing the EF 11-24mm f/4L USM

</strong>The EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R are compatible with Canon’s extensive EF lens range, spanning 71 models(2). Today Canon unveils the world’s widest-angle retilinearzoom lens (1), the EF 11-24mm f/4L USM. Perfect for photographers shooting landscape and architecture, the EF 11-24mm f/4L USM is designed to open up an entirely new world of creative opportunities, thanks to its super wide 11-24mm focal range. Boasting a newly designed optical structure, the lens features three aspherical lenses including a ground aspherical element, which maximises image quality and delivers minimal levels of distortion, while the body is rugged and robust enough to be employed in extreme weather conditions.</p>

Expect what with 5DS R

I currently use a 1Ds3 and will be buying the 5DS R for my studio floral stuff and some
landscape, and...am a avid PS CC user.

When I open an image on my monitor, am I going to notice a difference in overall IQ with
this new body or is that image merely going to be larger in size?

PS, when might I be able to download a manual before the purchase?

Canon 7D/Sigma 10-20mm or Canon 6D/16-35mm f4 ?

Hi guys

At the moment I'm shooting all with my old Canon 7D -> Landscape with a Sigma 10-20mm, Macro with a 100mm IS USM and Tele with a 55-250 IS USM (Hopefully soon replaced by the new 100-40mm II.

I have a few bucks to spend but I'm not sure about where to spend it, so maybe you guys can help me with that.

Should I just upgrade my body to the 7D Mk2 or should I upgrade to a 6D and use the new 16-35mm f4. What would you do?
Are there any reviews with side by side comparison of both solution/lenses ? Like how much improvement do you gain for landscape shots? Honestly I'm pretty satisfied with the Sigma 10-20mm....

Thanks for your advice guys!

"Canon Camera Connect" to replace "EOS Remote" in smartphones

(Disclaimer: I also posted this in dpreview ;) )

Hello

I am a very happy owner of a 70D. But I am not really happy with the "EOS Remote" app for my Android phone, mainly because I can only download downsized version of the photos in the camera, not the full resolution ones!!!

Today, I have found that there is a new app, "Canon Camera Connect", also made by Canon:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.canon.ic.cameraconnect&hl=en

that apparently was released recently: The first time that I find it mentioned is in Canon's announcement of the PowerShots SX710 and SX610. But as you can read in the Play Store, this app also supports the 6D and the 70D.

I have tested it with my camera and basically, it is the same as the old "EOS Remote" but... yay!! finally it is possible to download the full resolution photos from the camera!

It also mentions that you can download downsized versions of the CR2 files (?!?!?!??!?!??!?!), although I have not found how to do that... (I shot JPG+RAW, and I can only download JPG, maybe if you only have CR2 you get the option... I have to try that later).

It is a pity that "Acquire location information and add it to images on the camera" does not work with the 70D. I wonder why... Anyway, I find more practical to record a GPS track in the smartphone and then sync later in the PC than having the WiFi connection between the phone and the camera all the time enabled and draining the batteries just for this.

According to many comments, this version does not work with Android 5.

Regards
