Canon Japan will be announcing a new vlogging product on May 5, 2023. We have no direct knowledge of this product or what it is. We have seen all sorts of cool patents for EF-M vlogging cameras and that sort of thing, but to have only Canon Japan teasing it, we think it will be

If there is one company other than Canon that we want to see do well and improve their marketshare, it’s definitely Nikon. There is so much amazing heritage with the company, and it appears they have fixed the financials of the business and now it’s just time to get back to making great cameras and

We have been told that “one of” the next lenses announced from Canon will be an ultra-wide for the RF-S mount. We are are going to assume that the lens will be some kind of variation of the terrific Canon EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM. We were not given the exact focal range, speed or

Anyone else notice the R5 is now $500 dollars off at both Adorama and B&H?

Got any more of them cine camera rumors?

I recently bought a Meike drop in filter mount adapter and to me it works fine. (Try out.)
Has anyone experience with it?

Curious to hear your views
My son has less than 5 games left this season.

My go to kit is a gripped 5diii + ef100-400Lii

I sometimes struggle pitchside when the action gets close. I usually sit at the corners and “sweep” I’ve tried taking 2 body’s with different lenses - sounds good in theory but in practice I end up missing more shots.

My settings are pretty much standard
Jpeg L - Landscape profile - M - wide open - auto iso - Alservo

BTW the 5diii AF hates red, seems to throw the AF off. Whereas grey is very sticky almost 100% success rate.

Shutter speed is never below 1/800th. I tend to have IS on to steady the viewing as I only use centre point only so have to ensure it’s covering its target.

I’m toying with the idea of taking my 1div + 35-350L (basically 45-450 with the crop factor)

Just curious from those in the know if the results would be massively inferior to my current set up.

I do have both 80d and 7dii, (even a M6ii!)! But I’m guessing the results would be appalling.

I normally shoot between 1500 -1800 per game. 2/3rds get dumped editing later. Editing is via the photo editor included with windows.

Come on then, how many canon bodies do you own?
I’ve just done a count…

I’m saying nothing until someone else confesses.
It’s a good job they’re all black…she’s none the wiser…..phew!!

I was wondering if any R3 owners are experiencing or have experienced anything similar to this.

My R3 will occasionally lock up and freeze. Currently it happens about once a month. I will be shooting and the camera will lock up. The viewfinder can go black. The camera comes out of the freeze on its own without me having to remove the battery. When it does and it is operational again the sequence of images I was shooting is gone from the card.

I have been putting off sending it to CPS hoping that a firmware updated would solve the problem, is it did with my R5s, but I don't think I can hold off. The fact that images vanish makes it unreliable.

Last night I was on firmware 1.4.0 and today I have updated to 1.4.1 ... shooting a match in a few hours ... fingers crossed.

The German artist Boris Eldagsen has rejected an award at this year's Sony World Photography Award after revealing that his submission was generated by Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The "photo" "Pseudomnesia: The Electrician." won the creative open category.
Eldagsen said he hoped his actions would open up the conversation around the issue and lead to "separate competitions for AI-generated images."
The eerie black and white image shows two women from different generations - the older woman appearing to hang on to the younger woman from behind.

There will obviously be more RF-S lenses coming coming this year as well as next year. Today we see a patent for a couple of RF-S optical formulas. One of these optical formulas will likely be close to a future product by the looks of the designs. Canon RF-S 15-70mm f/4 Canon RF-S 15-70mm f/2.8-4

Does anyone know what the smallest dslr with prism is? I have both SL1 & SL2 both have Pentamirrors. I really don’t like using either despite being great cameras. I own a 400D which has a much better viewfinder in part due to using a real prism. But ideally I’d like something more modern but still small.

Any ideas?

After NAB has come and gone; Has anyone heard rumors if Canon's updated Tracking and Recognition will make it in the upcoming Cinema EOS FW Releases in June? Really hoping we get similar functionality in SF Mode (eg 120fps). It doesn't make sense that the r5c loses all focus tracking functions in SF Mode even though we now have a fan to stop overheating. They're only demoing ~30fps in the canon creator society; it really needs to support 120fps.

MELVILLE, NY, April 20, 2023 – Today, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, announced the launch of the RF100-300mm F2.8 L IS USM lens, answering calls from photojournalists and professional level customers for a modern 300mm f/2.8 equivalent lens. “This lens is an absolute game changer!

I researched and the result I found excited me. The Canon R8's rolling shutter speed looks the same as the Canon R6 Mark 2. (14.5)

Meike has launched what is the first “approved” third-party autofocus lens for Canon’s RF mount. Technically, there have been a couple of other third-party lenses for the RF mount that were pulled by manufacturers after Canon kindly asked them to do so.

Canon will soon announce the Canon RF 100-300mm f/2.8L IS USM, which will be the first of its kind from Canon. Sigma does have an EF 120-300mm f/2.8, but it was never that highly regarded, mostly due to autofocus performance when compared to Canon L lenses. We are told that the new lens will be

Here is a vided of Kym Ilman talking about the gear used for typical F1 weekend.

The slow death of the EOS M system continues with the discontinuation of two more EF-M lenses. This time, the EF-M 55-200 f/4.5-6.3 IS and the EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM are on the chopping block. It appears that we’re down to 5 lenses currently available for the EOS M system.
