    Canon EOS R1 Specifications [CR2]

    DDR4 at 2166MT/s gets 54Gb/s easily in real life (had to measure that at work last week) and cfe 4.0 type B support 32gbit/s before overhead, so buffer clearing should be quite fast as well. I suspect the digic has the sensor DMA its data straight to RAM, so the sensor speed is likely the...

    Upcoming 2024 Canon RF lens recap

    I bought an R7 through Panamoz last month and that was a great experience. No hidden fees and the HK->NL transit took about a week, with working tracking all the way.

    A fourth unreleased Canon camera has appeared for certification

    It is! The amount of sugar varies, but it will be sweet regardless :)

    Canon Patent Application: Camera with Internal Tilt Movement

    The R7 has a feature where it will keep the sensor level when you have the camera at an angle. It has a few, IMO, stupid restrictions like forcing fully mechanical shutter, but it works quite well to combat my pretty consistent 1 degree slant :) But the R6II and R3 lack that feature, which makes...

    Canon Patent Application: Another APS-C Dual Fisheye

    @Richard CR Canon did show 2 different VR lenses mounted to R7 bodies at CES 2024, one looked like a non-L version of the existing dual fisheye, the other like an regular lens with 2 tiny lenses inside. A screencap from Hugh Hou's video:

    Canon 1st Quarter 2024 Financials

    Don't forget about Sony moving the camera department to a different business unit every year to make year-over-year tracking impossible!

    Canon 1st Quarter 2024 Financials

    10-15 years ago it was ‘common knowledge’ in the interwebs that the bottleneck was growing the fluorite crystals. I don’t know if that was actually the case, but people liked to say it :) Anyway, I hope the gap between announcement and shipping is ‘days’, not ‘weeks’ or ‘months’ and that the...

    Canon 1st Quarter 2024 Financials

    But the 100D had better specs than other bodies, it ticked all the boxes for me when I wanted something smaller than my 7D, but with faster AF than my M. The 100D was a lot of camera for its size and price. And it had a touchscreen :)

    Canon 1st Quarter 2024 Financials

    Which, in some way, is good news for Canon: they are selling every copy of those lenses that gets produced.

    The day the Canon Grinch stole the OS/VC

    AFAICT only the R7 has IBIS when it comes to Canon RF bodies with APS-C sensors.

    Canon 1st Quarter 2024 Financials

    I really hope that the rumoured Q2 announcements actually ship in Q2 as well, but that will be very tight with the predicted end-of-May announcement date. That’s not even considering the ‘usual’ supply chain issues Canon has been showing where the first batch is relatively small and the big...

    The first SIGMA RF lens arrives in July, more in Q4 of 2024

    I think I detect some sarcasm :) The Sigma 30mm is a full centimeter wider (72mm) than the EF-M one (61mm), but roughly the same length. So that's a good 'replacement' for EF-M people going to RF. The Sigma 23mm however, is a lot longer than the EF-M 22mm, which puts it, for me, in a very...

    The first SIGMA RF lens arrives in July, more in Q4 of 2024

    I really hope that gets fixed in future bodies!

    The first SIGMA RF lens arrives in July, more in Q4 of 2024

    Does the R50 get power over USB in UVC mode? My R8 doesn’t :( When using a capture card plus USB it will get power, and even charge the battery! But that’s a lot more cabling and hassle.

    TAMRON announces development of first CANON RF mount lens

    If only I had an extra $26k lying around! Their cameras would be great for high speed macro work (dragonflies!) combined with the 180L.

    Upcoming 2024 Canon RF lens recap

    The original source said €2000 according to @ordinaryfilmmaker, hopefully that includes tax already.

    Upcoming 2024 Canon RF lens recap

    Since the RF50 f/1.8 is already €230, I wouldn't have expected the f/1.4 version to be below €1000, especially considering the Sony f/1.4 GM is €1700. I would have guessed €1300.

    A fourth unreleased Canon camera has appeared for certification

    I've like to have open-gate for extra stabilization headroom in post, I'm not steady handed and macro distances make that even worse.

    Canon RF 24mm f/1.4L USM and RF 50mm f/1.4L USM coming in Q4 as part of a "hybrid family" of L prime lenses

    I'm too cynical to read "supports focus breathing correction" into that. The RF24-105 f/4L also has everything mentioned in the above screenshot, but lacks focus breathing correction.

    The first SIGMA RF lens arrives in July, more in Q4 of 2024

    I do find the prospect of having both the EF-M 56mm f/1.4 and the RF(-S) 56mm f/1.4 a bit extra ;)
