Canon announces development of the EOS R5 full-frame mirrorless camera

[Optics Patent]

One is a tightening ring. Not control ring.

Thanks. To prevent zoom droop. Apparently not needed on the RF 70-200.

That layout is a lot better than the R. Much more like a 5D.

SO much better. So happy.

This all screams:

Sony may announce something soon, but who cares?

Canon loves you.

Ah I thought the April comment was for the cloud service thing....

I may well have mis-interpreted

 

[ahsanford]

Tilty-flippy AND something resembling a small 5D thumb wheel

The body is still small, but this seems way better. Touch bar RIP?

The 100-500 appears to have four control rings.

Same look and feel as the magnificent RF70-200.

Focus, zoom and the RF customisable one. The fourth is likely a tension ring for the zoom ring movement

The 24-105 STM has a “center focus” close up mode. This menu may relate to that:

Wow....Thom Hogan was spot on with his article earlier today: http://www.sansmirror.com/newsviews/2020-mirrorless-camera/lenses-let-through-less.html

This trend to slower and slower apertures is disturbing. I've managed to sort of adapt to my Sony 200-600 at f/6.3 but now "only" 500mm and another 1/3 stop loss of light? Enough already

They also announced the RF24-105 f4-7.1 IS STM

The video makes it clear that you can take pictures of little things like coffee beans. Is that a thing? I can’t read the menus but could they have a limitable macro close focus distance. That’s my complaint about the RF 35.

PROBABLY THE BEST commercial i have ever seen from canon. even though I dont want the lens.

Agreed. But not surprising considering this cameras given name

Probably unpopular opinion:

I must say, as someone who has used the Sony 200-600 (which maxes out at f6.3 and is internal zoom), the 100-500 doesn't particularly impress me. Unless it's significantly cheaper, but I seriously doubt it will be. I suppose they're trying to keep the lenses smaller, like the RF 70-200.

If the body is bigger than an R then that screen might be too.

Want the camera.

the 00-500 seems like it may have some relationship with the 100-400 II.
400 f/5.6 with a 1.25x gives 500 at f/7.1. It’ll be similar in size to the 100-400, I’m guessing. Very portable.

Looks like a traditional joystick beside the AF ON button Not the new selector from the 1D3

Limited on details even for a development announcement. But hey! All great news! Looking like April release.

How do you say April? That would be nice

 

[sanj]

Wish I could know more about video specs. Would have like to compare those to 1dx3

I think he read the part that was sayin the cloud service will be up around April...

Can you offer reasons? Do you like the Sony? Do you see them as similar or different?

I presume the 100-500 zooms externally
Like the RF70-200.

Me too. was really hoping to know if there would be a 6k posssible, or the 4k framerates/cropping
