The Coming Canon ‘Retro’ Camera to Use Latest 32.5MP Sensor

[erader]

I owned an AE-1 and A1 but currently own an R6-2 and R7. I'll pass on this one.

AE-1 was my first camera in 1980. i recently sold all my DSLR gear and bought an R5 and all RF lenses. I need a second camera and don't want/need video. the main thing to me is the sensor. the RE-1 sounds a great way to get that R6III sensor cheaper

Someone is confused...lol.




Cute or not, I expect such camera to have nothing less than the autofocus of a R8, not to mention the R6 Mark III.
To me, they could remove video recording entirely, but photography-wise, it must have almost everything.
A photographer's camera that is decently paid must have photography features that suit its price.

Retro-styled is not retro-operational. If they wanted to make a retro digital camera, it would be worth less than a R8.

much better sensor, tho. and as a landscape photographer that's all that really matters to me

I think the implication is, while the average image quality (probably especially sharpness) of lenses is much better now, the RF 45 is has a number of flaws that were more common in the past (but I don't know how true that is).

so they'll use the 45 because it's a shitty lens? no thanks haha

I'm not sure what you meant to say, but I doubt a tripod cares about camera aesthetics

but i do. the AE-1 was my first camera! i got it as a xmas gift in 1980

and i already have an R5. if the RE1 has the same 32mp sensor as the R6III but costs under $2k i will view that as a gift from the canon gods.

incidentally i recently bought the R5 instead of the R5II because it has a better sensor for what i do and i don't want/need the other features. and the R5 was around $1500 cheaper
