The sensor in an R1 could be a staight upgrade in a C400/C80 replacement, or new models above those.Still curious what's happening in the EOS Cinema world.
There was a 5GHz WiFi camera certification that was classified until Mid-June which is the R6 V, the other certification was a 4Ghz which lines up with the R8 MKii retro camera.There is still one (or two?) 6GHz wifi camera certifications floating around, implying the existence of higher end bodies on the way.
Also very curious about cinema eos. Would've been really happy with the R5II sensor in a C400 body...
Me too but I can't see it being cheaper than the very similar RF 100-300mm f/2.8L IS USM if it's an L lens I would expect it to be at least 10% more expensive.The Canon 300-600 mm f5.6 is likely to be the last telephoto lens I buy from Canon.
The Sony 100-400 mm f4.5 lens is a brilliant lens from Sony and is reasonably light weight at 4 lbs. with a 1.4x TC you get a 140 mm to 560 mm f6.3 lens.
A fixed F/5.6 300-600 would slot in around $5000-$7000 roughly. At F/4 I could see such a beast being $12000 but F/5.6 at $12,000 isn't happening.Me too but I can't see it being cheaper than the very similar RF 100-300mm f/2.8L IS USM if it's an L lens I would expect it to be at least 10% more expensive.
If Canon made a non L 300-600mm f/5.6 as they did with the RF 200-800 using cheaper elements and coatings and consumer grade materials then it should be a bit cheaper than the RF 100-300mm f/2.8L IS USM but personally I'd rather they made it a full on L lens and hopefully get the weight down and add a built in 1.4 extender for 420-840mm f/8 with it engaged. I'd be happy to save up for this even if it's USD $12,000
Consider that 600mm f/5.6 requires the same front element size as 300mm f/2.8, meaning a 300-600/5.6 is going to be very similar to a hypothetical 150-300/2.8 (the 300-600/5.6 would be a little heavier and a bit longer). That hypothetical 150-300/2.8 sounds very much like the real RF 100-300/2.8L, which is priced at $10,600.A fixed F/5.6 300-600 would slot in around $5000-$7000 roughly.
I suppose the "coming" 14/15mm TS-E will be internally shifting, and this new feature could simplify AF implementation.It’s interesting, it seems very unexciting. Nothing in that list really grabs my attention. I’ve just offloaded a lot of Ef gear to semi fund an R5 II and an RF 70-200 2.8. I was waiting for an R3 II or a new high MP R5. I think it will be a long wait. I have an R5 already and it’s a great camera. I’ll be interested to see if the R5 II is much of an improvement. This will be all camera companies dilemmas from now on. What is there to improve? The wow factor of 2000-2020 will be long gone. It’s hard to even imagine how a lens can be improved from now on.
My only wish is a 15mm TS-E . It doesn’t need autofocus, it doesn’t even need tilt.
That and a 100MP Full Frame (surely not too much to ask)
I have an R5m2. I have an R7. I have an RF 100-500. I have an RF 200-800. I have an RF I wil24-105.
l buy - and am waiting for - the R7m2 and in all probability will not make any purchases from Canon
until the R7m2 is available. On a recent guided birding tour outside of the U.S. I was Very happily
surprised by results in both long distance (small image size that needed heavy enlargement in post
and images taken under the canopy and before sunrise - both with the R5m2 and the RF 100-500.
I had my 1.4x with me - and it never came out of my camera backpack.
