Hello all,

I am new to the forum and am looking to purchase my first camera. I have been considering the EOS R and preordering the EOS R8. Could you please advise on the benefits of each and which you would recommend for someone looking for a camera to use primarily for scenery and car photos? Is the EOS R getting out of date? I know it’s been out since 2018.

I get asked a lot about why I use Canon gear, and why I won't use Nikon...
Of course it's often framed as a choice between brands - but really it's about the lenses and what I use them for...
If anyone knows my work, I use and test a lot of tilt/shift lenses - that should be a big hint...

Anyway after another 'Why won't you use Nikon' question - I've a somewhat longer answer, going back to 2003 and when Nikon were saying that you don't need 'full frame'

Hope it's of interest ;-)

It’s been a few years since we first started reporting on the possibility of an affordable “box” style cinema camera from Canon. For a while we were running with the name Canon Cinema EOS C50. We think global events may have scuttled the arrival of some Cinema EOS products, but it’s good to see work

There have been some rumblings about a follow-up to the brilliant Canon EOS R5, and while there are none that we’d consider super reliable, the chatter continues. We were told over the weekend that the follow-up to the Canon EOS R5 will “likely arrive before the Canon EOS R1”. No timeframe for either camera was

Japanese manufacturer Cosina, makers of the Voigtlander lenses has officially teased their first RF mount lens. The new lens is teased with “electrical” contacts which would help with EXIF data, but do not expect an autofocus lens. I would expect a well made prime lens from Cosina for the RF mount. It will be well

If I read the google translate correctly here
https://asobinet-com.translate.goog...l=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp , Cosina is preparing RF-mount lenses.

I suspect they will be manual focus lenses, but with an electronically controlled aperture. With electronic contacts the lens can also report its focal length so that IBIS 'just works'.

Hi everyone,

After reading all about r5 freezing issues, I'm posting here to ask if you've ever heard about freezes issues exclusively in video mode under clog3. I can film without problem in all modes and quality but as soon as I activate a clog or clog 3, my video will cut out randomly and need a hard reset. I tried different lenses, parameters, Sd cards and Cfexpress, Firmwares but the problem still here and i need this body to work.

greetings.

I started occasionally having this problem earlier this week.
I have found a solution that might help other people. Usually I use the electric shutter and by selecting in the menu mechanical shutter, the problem is solved

Can someone confirm if the control ring on the EF-R adapter is assigned exp comp ( or whatever) does it stay assigned regardless what lens you swap over?
I have a vast selection of EF glass. So would be swapping for different scenes/scenarios. I’m hoping once I’ve assigned the control ring my preferred function I can simply leave it mounted permanently on camera.

It seems like Canon has been funding Climate change deniers while projecting itself as enviormentally "friendly". Just when they didnt need anymore negative press here is one more skeleton from Canon's clauset.

I recently purchased an R6 (mark I) and want to use it as a webcam. Currently I only have regular USB 3.0 ports on my PC, but I have one PCI-E x1 slot available on the motherboard, allowing me to install a PCI-E card with a USB-C 3.1 (gen 1) port on it. Would this be sufficient for powering the camera while using it as a webcam? Or would I need a USB-C 3.1 gen 2 for this to work?

Right now while having the camera connected to the PC, it just uses the internal battery (and won't charge).

How is Nikon's Z mount that different than the RF where they can release a FF pancake yet Canon (according to many here) cannot and how with Canon, the 16/50 STM design is most likely the size limit.

Thanks in advance!

With the announcement of the Canon EOS R50, which is the “spiritual” successor to the Canon EOS M50/M50 Mark II (Kiss M2) will not be using the “KISS” branding in Japan. This branding has existed for almost 30 years. What about “Rebel”? I think that it’s safe to say that we won’t be seeing that

I know the R3 has many features that make it more appealing to several types of photographers compared to the new R6 Mark II and R8, but it seems like the AF system on the R6II and R8 and even R7 (perhaps having both a better AF algorithm as well as having more options) seems to have been improved over the R3. New features such as pre shot buffer RAW (not exact name I know) also seems more advanced.

Given that the R3 is the current top of the line Canon camera, what are people’s thoughts about the likelihood of Canon adding those new features and newer AF system to the R3 via firmware update given they are all using the same DigicX processor? Would they allow an entry level R8 to have a better AF system than an R3 given that the R3 is only a little over a year old?

Thoughts?

Next week for the first time I am going to record files in Slow and Fast mode. 60 fps and 120 fps. I watched a video and it show that if I use shutter angle I don't need to change the shutter angle when I increase or decrease frame rates. In this video the guy says that I should only use the shutter in 180 angle for the 3 frame rates (23,98 fps, 60 fps, 120 fps. Is it right? I am use to do this way: 23,98 fps - 90º, 60 fps - 180º, 120 fps - 360º. What should I do?
