People are totally missing the point. The price bump isn't for the red ring... It's for the battery life indicator. ;)

Lifetime is a no-brainer at that price.

Agree! And there are significant numbers of cautious buyers that will never pre-order, but wait for real-world reviews. Let's get this train rolling.

Has anyone done a size comparison of the R5 to the 6D (original, not the mark ii). Can't find one via Google. I want to see how my next camera compares to my current camera. :-)

A lot of inspiring photos from jmeyer and others! I'm really stoked about the upcoming R5. It is going to be my next camera by the end of the year! Here are some shots with my 6D and Canon 100-400 ii, natural light. Just some backyard stuff from a year or so ago. And yes, I purposely shoot at a...

So landscape photography doesn't qualify as art?

When the Canon engineers said " I believe to a certain extent that users can see the improvements to the bokeh shape being cut out in the peripherals [compared to the shape on a DSLR]." they were not talking about cat's eye distortion. They were talking about bokeh clipping that occurs at f/1.2...

Ughh... I guess the physics makes it impossible. I guess I haven't adjusted to the time change yet. :p

What if the rumored 1D X Mark III appeared with an RF mount as opposed to the venerable EF mount? Would it be shunned by current 1D X shooters, or would they be excited about the prospect of shooting with the new RF lens options? My hunch is the need to adapt most of the lenses that 1D X...

"We’re told that the follow-up to the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II has begun field testing with a very small number of photographers and/or engineers." I'm sure someone here has a feel for the average lead time of a Canon pro model field test to announcement / release. What would that be? 9 months...

Over a rumor? Man. I picture the Canon CEO reading this, walking from Tokyo to the shores of Japan, with a tear in his eye, waving goodbye to pickelshoes. In all seriousness, best of luck with your next camera system. There are plenty of good ones. You almost can't go wrong these days.

Wow! I hope it meets your expectations! I wouldn't have considered such a move without renting it first. Let everyone know your thoughts after you've used it for a bit!

I bet he has the same amount of research that you have for the statement "The Pro's influence trickles down and is still more relevant." ;)

I think it is more than just segmentation. I firmly believe it's technical. In the a7riii Sony is able to apply interpolation to the entire sensor readout of 7952 x 5304 to produce a video frame of 3,840 x 2,160, and do it fast enough to keep high data stream rates. Canon simply can't do that...

There are a lot of good points here, but consider that (according to the US Department of Labor) there are roughly 49,000 professional photographers in the United States. (see https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes274021.htm ) That's a pretty small number. (Compare to 183K Electrical Engineers...

I will agree to overstating things a bit. You can definitely still use the L glass and, as FramerMCB's image shows, take very good photos. But there is a real thing called "resolving power" for a lens. A crop sensor is only using the center of the projected image from a EF lens, and if the...

Not wanting to argue, but if the OP is happy with a crop sensor, then I think FF might be overkill for them. FF is right for you and I because of our goals, but if the OP doesn't have the same goals as us, then crop may be fine for them. It's great for most people IMO. I hate to see anyone spend...

But then I would need another teleconverter for RF lenses. I guess if they never plan to create RF versions of the really big whites that would make sense, but I think they're going "all in" on RF in the long run.

You have a couple of L lenses, so maybe you were, at some point in time, planning on going full-frame? But now it seems you don't care if you go to crop or full frame. :unsure: Anyway, if I were you (based on the little bit you've said on needs) it sounds like you might benefit from selling...

If wishes were horses, I'd be riding these by the end of 2019: RF 16-35mm f/2.8L RF 24-70mm f/2.8L (preferably IS) RF 100mm f/2.8L IS But it depends on the next camera body too. P.S. RF is Canon's future. Don't care what anyone else is selling on that topic.
