What’s next from Canon?

[EOS 4 Life]

I guess they wanted to make the R7 as compact as possible, so standard additional grips won't fit anymore.

It is around the size of the R8 and that can accommodate a grip,
Canon never made one but they did make it possible for third parties.

 

[EOS 4 Life]

I got the R8 as it is the lightest full-frame camera. Not because of the price.

I can believe that.
Would you have gotten it if it cost the same as the R3?

Not quite, both the R8 and R7 miss connector in the battery bay for buttons. So 3rd party grips have to use a cable into the remote port to make the shutter work in portrait mode.

Until then, I would rather keep the mechanical shutter.

If ES does the trick until then, I'll take it. I highly applaud Nikon's move of removing the mechanical shutter with the Z8 and Z9.

It doesn't.
I have an R3 and still use the mechanical shutter when I have to.
I would also use one on the Z 8 and Z 9 if they had one.
The a9 III certainly does not need one.

In which situations do you find the need to switch to mechanical?

I'm hoping for a light weight RF 70-300 mm. More or less like the EF version. Any others hoping for somthing like this?

I'm still waiting for the RF 200mm f/4L Macro IS USM to get announced

I'm still waiting for the RF 200mm f/2.8L f/4L Macro IS USM to get announced

Not sure if I have the funds, muscles or motivation for that one

I didn´t know that about the R5C and what's that all about.

Not sure if that was a question, but I’m referring to the fact that the R5 C has the multifunction shoe, but it doesn’t work with the ST-E 10 transmitter or the EL-5 flash (nor with the new EL-10, presumably). Other accessories (e.g., Tascam audio inputs) that work in the R5 C’s shoe work on other multifunction shoe bodies, but Canon’s own flash doesn’t work on the R5 C…and that almost certainly means it’s just a firmware issue.

Since the R5 C is a hybrid camera that boots into a stills mode, it would make sense for Canon’s new flashes to be supported. Users on Canon’s forum have certainly requested it, but compatibility wasn’t listed in the recent R5 C firmware update (the first in a while, but there have been updates since the ST-E 10/EL-5 came out). Shame on Canon for not addressing this.

What a nonsensical question...

I’m with you, my wish list:

• Same (or better) optical quality as the EF 180 mm
• 1:1 magnification
• Fast AF
• Compatible with RF extenders (for increased working distance with dragonflies, butterflies and other insects)
• Sufficient number of aperture blades for good bokeh
• Image stabilization
• Internal focusing (like the EF 180mm)
• Focus limiter (from closest focus to +/- 1 meter)
• Removable tripod collar
• Weight: equivalent to, or lighter than, the EF 180mm

Not on my wish list:

• Spherical Aberration Control
• Focus shift

According to Digicame, CR guy has posted on Twitter (“X”), that “Something is coming” on Monday, June 10.
As the Euro soccer games start this Friday: some news on the R1?

It wasn't a question, just a statement that didn't know anything about it. Since the R5c mainly focuses on video and I hardly shoot any video at all, I didn't read into R5c issues etc. But thx for the explanation! It is really a shame that such a high priced camera is not compatible with some flashes or their transmitters.

Have you ever used/tried one, Sony piece of sh*t EVF have high MP on paper but drops resolution & fps in dark, and generally showing noises in the EVF+LCD during shooting.

Fun fact, I've been using the R5 and I can confidently tell you, EVF performance hugely drops in low-light conditions all the way to even lagging. I figure it's the same with all brands.

 

[riker]

You seem to be completely ignoring the R5 II rumored specs.
They outcompete the a1 in the same body type.

Just wtf? You are telling me that a Canon rumored spec is competing with a Sony camera existing since 2021? What is happening? (not counting 45MP vs 50MP)

I'd settle for a 70-150/2, but of course I would not say no to a 70-200/2. The latter would lovely be about the size of the 100-300/2.8, though possibly (and preferably) a little shorter.

Absolutely. I'll go even further - 80-135/2. Such a lens you will use in studio, events, etc, not travel/nature, so and weight is less of an issue.
I definitely need sub 2.8 lenses but keeping the versatility of zoom lenses. I'd switch the 24-70/2.8+70-200/2.8 combo for a 24-50/2+80-135/2 combo anytime.
...and yet again it wouldn't be hard to spread a bit of canon-hate for closing the mount, since the sigma 28-45/1.8 was announced.

Ud.na R7 Pro con una empuñadura incluida en el chasis, estilo R3 o R1, con un sonsor apilado, y corregidos sus pequeños fallos, bien se pagarían 3000€ por ella.
