    Opinion: EOS-M transition that never was

    I just happened to see the R100 up close and handled it for the first time today. You're right- the R100 most definitely isn't it.

    Opinion: EOS-M transition that never was

    I don't really get (nor was I even really aware of) the hate for the M3. It was my first mirrorless body. It was a trooper. I loved it. I never had a problem with the Powershot firmware (I simultaneously owned both EOS and ELPH/IXY cameras for many years prior to the M3). I currently have the...

    Rumored RF lens roadmap update

    Surprised no one said this earlier. The 22 f/2 is still one of my favorite lens and the only reason I still have an M-body. Introducing an RF-S equivalent might coax me over to one of those compact R bodies (plus I'd be able to use it on my R5 and R7 if I wish).

    Canon R5 1.8.1

    Interesting. For me it says there are no updates available. Maybe it's a Mac only update.

    Canon R5 1.8.1

    My sentiments exactly. I don't want to be ungrateful, but I can't help thinking 'that's it?' after reading the changelog in the description. It never pays to have expectations with these type of things. Still, pixel shift should be a fun tool to play with for a few days and see if it's useful.

    Are 400mp stills coming to the Canon EOS R5?

    These are the screenshots of the R5 Specifications from the Canon Europe page before it was changed. Keep in mind that it was most likely a draft, so probably all the details weren't finalized. But the more specific information such as the feature name, resolution, etc. are more than likely final.

    Are 400mp stills coming to the Canon EOS R5?

    Yeah, they updated the page soon after to remove the leaked info. But I still have it open from Thursday before it was removed. ;)

    Are 400mp stills coming to the Canon EOS R5?

    I posted the original quote from the page here. On the page it said: I still have the page open at home and screenshots, so if this isn't enough I can post those after work.

    Canon to release major firmware update for the Canon EOS R5

    I'm curious how useful this pixel-shift, IBIS High Resolution feature will be for astrophotography. Can anyone weigh in? Also, can anyone suggest some super-steady tripods that would be needed to make this feature useful?

    Canon to release major firmware update for the Canon EOS R5

    Yeah, hopefully they wouldn't leave the R3 out! Now the next question is, will we ever actually use it? :LOL:

    Canon to release major firmware update for the Canon EOS R5

    A 400 megapixel jpeg: Nice! I suspect the RAW will just be the 9 individual shots like how the in-camera HDR and focus bracketing modes work. Unfortunately according to the spec sheet, the video recording time limit remains 29:59, but who knows! Hope springs eternal. Either way, sounds like a...

    What lenses do you feel are "missing" from RF still?

    It has already been said but: RF-S 22mm f/2 RF Pancake RF 35mm f/1.xL I would love a compact standard lens I could just keep on my R7 at all times like I do now with the M50/22mm combo.

    Canon teases Canon EOS R8 and Canon EOS R50 announcement happening this week

    I was curious too see what the M50 replacement would look like. Nothing to see here for me. Had there been a 22mm or some other EF-M lens replacements offered, I might have considered it. But as it stands, my M50 and 22mm f/2 still work perfectly well for my compact needs. But it's nice that...
