It has options for both, yes in movie mode,half press or full,Mine is set for "Start/Stop mov rec., works fine also with external remote control switch.But only for half press, when I looked at it today. Does it have a setting for full press when in movie mode?
Sweet! I’ll have a look at that when I retrieve the camera from the trap tomorrow morning!It has options for both, yes in movie mode,half press or full,Mine is set for "Start/Stop mov rec., works fine also with external remote control switch.
One of the reasons why Canon is successful financially is that they do "recycle" sensors, using the same one (with minor variations) in two or more models. I don't see any problem with this, as any sensor manufactured in the last 5 years should be good enough to satisfy even the most critical user. They also "repackage" stuff in as much as things tend to get tested in one model before being passed up or down to other models, which to my mind is a good thing - I don't like being a beta tester.While I still haven’t pulled the trigger to go with another system, the recent release of Canon cameras has been quite boring, more of repackaging old stuff than interesting innovation.
It's too early to judge, but my expectation is that the R7 will be about as popular as the D70/80/90 series, and that will be more than enough to satisfy Canon. They'll also benefit from sales of the RF kit lenses that you criticise. Additionally there will be many R5 owners, particularly sports/wildlife photographers, who buy the R7 as a second body, so it's win-win for Canon.I’d be really interested to see the sale numbers for R7 and R10 and the two “crappy” RF-S lenses.
I’m pretty sure they’ll sell well, and if an R100 comes it will sell better because it will be cheaper.But, for the APS-C market Canon seems to buy shying away from R&D costs. So, the two RF-s are not innovative at all and lack new features or simply a lighter design or such. And now they basically release an M camera with RF-s mount. I don't think a lot people will opt for these cameras...
I always find it amusing when people preface their likely trolling with "I've been a Canon user for decades", as if that assertion is proof of your sincerity. But even so, I'll bite: what have the other companies released that you consider exciting? What does the Canon lineup lack? And be realistic, not "an R3 with twice the resolution for half the price" fantasty stuff.Having been using Canon system since 1980s, I used to only come to this site for news/speculations for upcoming photo gears. In the last couple of years, however, I found I’ve been spending more time on Fuji and Sony rumor sites, partly because those sites are updated more often with more interesting products. While I still haven’t pulled the trigger to go with another system, the recent release of Canon cameras has been quite boring, more of repackaging old stuff than interesting innovation.
One can always argue that Canon sells more than anybody else. Maybe just for now. Competition is catching up quickly. I’d be really interested to see the sale numbers for R7 and R10 and the two “crappy” RF-S lenses.
That's interesting! I wonder how well it worked. The Japanese have always been strong on hardware, often the best, but never quite developed the software ecosystem of the US, China or South Korea. I hear what you're saying, that they're not trying to compete with smartphones. And look, if it sells, great, even if most of those sales results in user frustration and eventual abandonment of "the camera", and market destruction. They've dragged their feet to make cameras and advanced photography techniques more accessible and intuitive. The M50 and M50m2 menus were moving in the right direction, at a snail's pace. And Canon is the best, compared to the menu hell of Sony, Panasonic etc. So, I get it, Canon still has 50% of the (shrinking) market. And for pros and prosumers, this is really a golden era of features and options. You'd have to work really hard to buy a bad camera, at any price level. But if the idea is to convert smartphone users who want better results, let's be honest about how many of them won't understand why the new, "serious" camera and lenses they just paid $1-2k for don't approach the results they get by whipping out their iphone in 90% of situations, and how many of them will stick around for the 10k hour masterclass. 99% don't want to be photographers, they just want to take better pictures.They tried that once, with a Facebook button.
The Canon EOS M6 Mark II was officially discontinued by Canon Australia quite a few months ago and dealers can not order any stock because it's listed as a "deleted product line", so I reckon it's ridgey-didge gone for good. Other countries can't be too far behind as stocks deplete. M6 fans will have to accept the M system is going the way of the FD mount, and the good old faithful EF system is on the way out too. I really wish SIGMA would throw some RF mount lenses on the market to shake things up.You lost me at "long discontinued". M6 Mark ii is a current camera available at most camera stores and in stock. I don't disagree that it's being replaced, but this is such a simple detail to get wrong it undermines the whole post.
Plenty of M6 Mk II in large markets available for years. Amazon too. Tiny small markets maybe not so many. It will be decades before Canon will have enough inventory to surpass Sigma sales of its M series. Sigma sells EF-M lenses by the boatload to content creators. There's simply no way Canon could catch up to Sigma in lens sales for their M series because RF lenses are too expensive and theirs not enough low cost. A Sigma 16mm f 1.8 EF- M is $400. There's no Canon to match at that price point. Anyone can purchase internationally nowadays. Canon even sells M series cameras on their website. Been available all year long even today.The Canon EOS M6 Mark II was officially discontinued by Canon Australia quite a few months ago and dealers can not order any stock because it's listed as a "deleted product line", so I reckon it's ridgey-didge gone for good.

The below graphic was created by Canon.I just wish we would get some new RF lenses. All these cameras to choose from but not many lens options.

I suspect it depends a lot on subject matter. People shooting moving subjects at night or fast-moving sports will likely notice a difference. I think many people buy 2-lens kits for the telephoto capability (sales data suggest they are more popular). A high-end smartphone telephoto camera tops out at ~125mm FFeq with a small, relatively noisy 10-12 MP sensor (but good computational NR that helps to a point) An M50 II plus 55-200 gives 2.5x more reach with a much larger sensor and a lot more pixels on target.But if the idea is to convert smartphone users who want better results, let's be honest about how many of them won't understand why the new, "serious" camera and lenses they just paid $1-2k for don't approach the results they get by whipping out their iphone in 90% of situations, and how many of them will stick around for the 10k hour masterclass. 99% don't want to be photographers, they just want to take better pictures.
Thank you! People don’t know what they don’t know. On this forum, as soon as someone says anything “bad” about Canon, ignorant fanboys will jump up and down. Quite a scene.fwiw not in eg French
Yes, Canon has come up with those boring APS-C cameras, the R7 and R10, with a good deal of that boring, repackaged AF system taken from the R3 that is head and shoulders better than the AF in any other APS-C camera. And their last FF, the R3, with it's eye-controlled AF - maybe not perfected yet - but obviously just a repackaged focus system from an old SLR. What lack of innovation compared to Sony, which of course has that innovative new...uh...well...hmmm...must be something.Having been using Canon system since 1980s, I used to only come to this site for news/speculations for upcoming photo gears.

As opposed to those predicting d00m for Canon, who are brilliant and wise and put forth calm, reasoned arguments. Except, you know, when those arguments always boil down to petulant foot-stamping that Canon isn’t making or doing _________, which is whatever they personally want and have deluded themselves into thinking a majority of other buyers want, that is spelling certain d00m for Canon if their whim goes unsatisfied.On this forum, as soon as someone says anything “bad” about Canon, ignorant fanboys will jump up and down.
I have it and really like it except for the red dot on hdmi capture video. The first version not Mark 2, and EF to EF-M adapter. Just bought the 28mm macro with light, and compared it with the heavy 100mm EF 2.8 macro. It is really nice to have that built in light on the lens, focus is silent, pretty fast too. My decision is buying 2 more, or another Sony maybe the ZV-E10. Small and lightweight vs imbalance is something I feel using the EF lens on the M50. The Sigma C 1.4's 16, 30, and 56 are all same price whether E mount or EF-M mount. Been looking at Sigma Art EF prices and they are double the E/EF-M, and that is why I can't see buying the R system now. I need to maybe look at the M6 mark 2 before they are all sold out.No reason to think so at this time. Probably Canon's best selling camera overall. Buy one of you want one. If you have the lense you want in the M sysstem, it will all last you for another decade or more.
