I gave up after 15min gibberish on video. i don’t care and do Not even want to know. wake me up when canon makes a camera for photographers without having to buy useless video modes that will just get in the way.

In my ideal word there would be the Canon EOS RP5P, with P standing for photography and will be stripped of all video capability. It will significantly cheaper. I just hate buying a camera like this, knowing I am paying a lot of money for its video component, which I will never use. I have a...

Actually, I'm keen on full frame mirrorless, but not necessarily to ditch my 5D Mk4 as yet. For my work, a mirror and prism can't be beaten by an electronic viewfinder just yet. Of course I am yet to test the EOS R for that. As I said, Canon has been extremely good for me. I have zero...

I don't really follow other brands, and I was not aware of that I'll admit. Which ones do that?

it looks like Canon are yet to decide whether to introduce IBIS in future camera. I find this to be very confusing, Shall I invest in IS lenses? Why miss a massive opportunity like this, and not make IBIS standard on every body of a new system? it appears to me that Canon's R&D are not as...

EOS R stands on its own. At this stage it is a one body full frame mirrorless system. The 5D and 6D are reflex cameras. For me it is not particularly good value, but other will see it differently according to their needs and expectations.

Interesting comments. As always, many people cannot unshackle themselves from their brand and tribe biases. I've been using Canon for 35 years and pretty much the only brand I know and am confident with. I earn my living using Canon gear. I don't want to trash the brand and devalue the re-sale...

I think you nailed it, very sensible comment. Your last sentence sums it up nicely. I'm not selling my Canon gear yet.. I've been a sole Canon user for 35 years, but for the first time, I'm looking around and keeping an eye on other brands.

It is not as simple. RF lenses are not compatible with EF bodies. If in the future you want to use a full frame mirrorless, and an APS-c mirorless for speed, like I use the 7DMkII today for wildlife, lenses will not be compatible eighter. Unless they will have a full frame mirrorless that can...

I'm sure they won't stop selling EF system from tonight. They kept 'officially selling' film cameras until some years ago too. But I'm pretty confident their long term plans are the RF system.

Pretty sure it will be a long and protracted, and messy switch from EF to RF for some. I want to buy the 11-24mm but I'm not going to spend that money on a lens with an end of life mount. If I buy an RF lens it won't be compatible with my relatively new EF bodies, 5D IV and 7D II. To complicate...

I have to say I was keen, especially with the rumours pointing to a great solution for keeping with the EF mount. I knew that wasn't quite impossible, but adapters suck. It's not great at all. I have a 5DIV and 7D2 and a few L-series lenses. I'm keen to replace my ageing 16-35mmL, and I know...

I bet my last dollar that 99% of the crappy photos taken by the 6D II are user incompetence, and unrelated to the camera specifications.

Most stupid thing they can do is switch to a custom shape Lithium battery. I use flash all day five times a week and only use rechargeable AAs and they last a long time. If I run out, I can always buy standard AA available anywhere on the planet.

Fortunately I've been a photographer for 30 years. If I was starting out today and wanted to buy something better than my smartphone, I would be utterly confused. The choice is bewildering, overlapping and incoherent. I used to love Apple for their minimalistic choice of products, though...
