    Canon’s 2024 Roadmap, and the timeline surprised us [CR3]

    My guess is this article, here and/or possibly elsewhere, will mean that a-hole youtuber O.F. will post 5-7 videos in 24 hours, claiming the same which came from HIS sources. I am glad new equipment is coming, it shows Canon is progressing, creating, innovating, but if I sold one of my kidneys...

    Best of Canon 2023: #1 RF 200-800 F6.3-9 IS USM

    After a delay because of the ineptness of Fedex who destroyed the shipping label, I got my RF200-800 on Jan 10, 2024. As for Canon's ability to find a product that will fit a need and sell very well, probably more than you may think, I might agree with the pick of #1 for 2023 due the creation of...

    Best of Canon 2023: #1 RF 200-800 F6.3-9 IS USM

    I wish I had a voice on this matter, but B&H shipped my lens via Fedex on 1/4/2024, to be here 1/6/2024, but it hit Independence KY and it has been stuck there since 1/6/2024 at 1:19am, with NO answers from B&H nor Fedex. But aside that, I do have the 100-400L v2 and the 400MM f/2.8 and the...

    Updated ship dates for the new Canon lenses

    You are correct sir, Fedex sent me confirmation of delivery tomorrow, signature required, so it IS real :) Pre-ordering it was the way to go. I live outside Buffalo NY, may I assume I got the first one here? Cool. There is only one photo store left here, and I called them about it, and they...

    Updated ship dates for the new Canon lenses

    Here is to hoping my eyes do not deceive me. I just now received an email from B&H, Jan 4, 2024, your order for Canon RF200-800mm has shipped! Yeah!

    Canon not going global shutter with next round of EOS R camera bodies

    I agree. I did a few IMSA races this year, I could count Nikon on 2 hands, Sony maybe 100-200, but Canon? There were more 400mm f/2.8 and 300mm f/2.8 lenses there than the other two companies bodies and lenses. I just did a fashion show 3 days ago, there was 1 Nikon, no sony and 75 Canons. For...

    Canon not going global shutter with next round of EOS R camera bodies

    I tried that site, clicked on the R3, my r6m2 the 1DX III, nice stuff. Then I clicked on what should be my first Canon digital, the XTI and I had to look twice to find it, almost like there was an eyelash on my screen. Come out with 20 more cameras with bells and whistles I haven't even heard of...

    Let us see how long it takes for my next toy to show up. Click here to order, click, done. What can I sell off now. GAS has once again got me.

    Update on the Canon RF 200-800mm f/6.3-9 IS USM

    What is the going rate for a kidney? What do I own to sell for this. IF it is WHITE, if it has USM, it may be a no brainer? Any how, I purchased he 800mm twice before I realized it's value and i want to give this one value before I even know the facts. But... so far, it is sold in my eyes, GAS...

    Canon RF 200-800mm f/6.3-9 IS coming on November 2, 2023

    I bought the 800mm f/11 when it came out. Returned it in 3 days because I had issues with the narrow viewing angle. I could not find BIF. Two years later, I had seen enough reviews to pique my interest, so I bought it again. I forced myself to learn it's strengths and not any weakness, and have...

    Canon RF 24-300mm f/2.8-5.6L IS USM optical formula patent published

    I would also have interest in this one as an all rounder, but given the price tag for those "I Want" lenses, once again another cure for G.A.S. is coming. BTW, I do a massive amount of auto racing as well, but only sports cars, I.E. IMSA, Le Mans stuff. When I did Watkins Glen 6 hours this...

    We were wrong, all of your Canon mirrorless dreams are likely coming true soon

    I have 3 Cameras, one with DPAF, which is nearly all I could could want in a DSLR vs. Video Cam. I have 8 lenses, ALL EF mount, albeit ef or ef-s. I have zero issues with a mirror, nor have I since 1974 when I bought my first Canon camera. I do not see why this whole "rush" to mirrorless even...

    ef 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II with eos 80D: Issues?

    I have the Canon 80D and the Canon EF 100-400 L IS II, and I have not experienced any issues with the IQ other than those I have created. Such as ISO, Focus Points, AF Modes and such. I got the camera Oct 11, 2016, and the lens May 19, 2017. My biggest issue on lost shots has been my knowledge...

    Can I use all my old Sunpak 522 Flashes with Canon EOS

    Thank You Mt. Spokane, your response came as I entered mine. I do not wish to toss these, but if needed, sobeit. I do have a volt/amp meter, I use it to read my car battery haha. It is dead, the car will not start. Not exactly science when you realize I have 4 Canon DSLR's I may ruin right? Oh...

    Can I use all my old Sunpak 522 Flashes with Canon EOS

    Unfortunately, none of this, and all of this I already knew, and because I have no way to determine the exact, perfect voltages, nor even know how to read what my Sunpak flashes emit, prudence has said to me, do not even try. I found, amongst other items, the Wein Soft Sync and other products...

    Can I use all my old Sunpak 522 Flashes with Canon EOS

    Back in the 70s and 80s, my father and I used to listen to the police scanner, chase everything nearby, shoot it and sell it to the newspapers. I had Canon AE-1's, AE-1 Programs, A-1's and he was a medium to large format guy. Over time I had acquired 3 Sunpak 522's with all the TTL adapters...
