    SIGMA again announces EF-M lenses, and mount conversion service

    Anyone have an opinion of the Sigma 56mm F 1.4 vs a Canon EF 50mm F 1.4 with the EF to EF-M adaptor? The Sigma is $479 new. The Canon is $150-$250 used and $349 new so I'm leaning towards getting a used one.

    Canon R experience

    I don’t see much reason to have both camera systems though I’d guess this is what Canon wants by differentiating both the RF and EF body and lenses. Imagine a pretty full RF line of lenses with all the current EF lenses you own or want available. Three new R bodies, 5Dsr.5, 7D Mark II.5, 5D Mark...

    Canon R experience

    WHY I SOLD: Lack of RF lenses – This will of course be fixed in the future, but in June 2019 the lenses that I would want to buy are not available in the RF mount. The currently available fast, large, heavy, pricey primes and zooms are great but don't interest me. I use the EF- L 24-70 f/4 and...

    Canon R experience

    The is my experience shooting the Canon R for 4 months. It is not an in-depth review checking every feature. I shot very little video with it so video won't be in this discussion. I love Canon’s APS-C M cameras and Full Frame DSLRs and have owned and used almost all current models including M3...

    My EOS R experience

    This is my Canon EOS R review. This is not a detailed review, but a detailed account of my experience shooting with the R over 4 months. While the R had some good qualities I was generally disappointed with the User Interface, durability, and exposure inconsistencies ultimately leading me to...

    Went back to using a 5D MkIV after 6 months of the EOS R... It feels antiquated

    I used an EOS R for 4 months. I didn't like it and sold it. Anyone else come to the same conclusion? I went back to a 6D Mark II for full frame and my M3 and M50 for travel and hiking. Here's my more in depth discussion of the EOS R: https://canonmcameras.wordpress.com/eos-r/

    GoPro Inc. For Sale Per Report

    Go Pro as a company is a mess. The 2016 Karma drone fell out of the sky. Their 2017 Karma was better, but it too was heavy and it didn't have ANY sensors! Basically it was 2-3 years behind the competition. The Session series of cameras has TERRIBLE wind noise. Nothing can fix that. It's just a...

    Capture High-Quality Action Shots and Video From Afar with the New Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 IS II

    Re: Capture High-Quality Action Shots and Video From Afar with the New Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 I I like the read out on the little window but what would be far more helpful is if I saw this info on the LCD of my M3. Seems that they could do this pretty easily.

    More Canon EOS M5 Specifications Emerge

    Yes, just checked and it was set to Auto. I didn't think that would impact shooting RAW only, but I guess it does. Thanks.

    More Canon EOS M5 Specifications Emerge

    I love the M3 and use it all the time. My main complaints with it are no wired shutter release/remote port and the slow AF and shot to shot times. The work around for no shutter release remote port is to use the RC-6 which can also function as a bulb open and close. The slow AF and shot to shot...

    There's More to a Camera System Than Just the Gear

    I agree. Customer service is an often overlooked criteria when choosing a camera system. Customer service is a difficult thing to quantify like FPS, Megapixels, Dynamic Range, or AF points. In the early 90's I had several problems with Nikon service in Torrance, Ca. They wouldn't fix an...
