    Firmware: Canon EOS RP v1.5.0 and Canon EOS R v1.7.0

    Updated my RF24-105 L, but do not see a Mac updater for the RP... Edit: found it here https://www.canon.fr/support/consumer_products/products/cameras/digital_slr/eos-rp.html?type=firmware

    Feature updates coming via firmware for both the Canon EOS R5 and Canon EOS R6

    The headline is a bit of a stretch. Canon does not say these are coming, merely that they are thinking about it. Still, the fact that they even mentioned it is interesting and I hope these come to pass. You have to think that the sensor can do these, so maybe Canon just did not have time by the...

    Here are the specifications for the Canon RF 85mm f/2 IS STM Macro

    I love 85mm, but I've never loved my EF 85 1.8. My copy is not super sharp, even stopped down, and the lack of IS means I have to keep the shutter higher, negating some of the speed. I'm not even knocked out with the color rendition. So, newer optics, close-focusing, IS, no adapter? This is my...

    Canon EOS R5, Canon EOS R6 and new lens SKU and kit information

    Don't remember about the EOSR, but my RP, bought in early March 2019 for $1299, included for free a standard RF adapter, plus the small non-battery Extension Grip.

    Samyang announces the AF 85mm f/1.4 for the RF mount

    I have the Canon 85 1.8, and (my copy at least) is not a favorite lens. Quality is not great unless I stop down to 2.8, and not having IS means shutter speed must be higher - at least for my now-66-year-old hands. So, I'll wait to see how the rumored Canon RF non-L version with IS compares to...

    Canon EOS R5 launch price will be below $4000 USD [CR3]

    ...and in TN, Amazon and B&H charge state sales tax (9.25% in my location) but B&H offers the Payboo option to avoid it. However, Adorama still does not charge state sales tax.

    Canon announces more mind blowing specs for the Canon EOS R5

    1. I hope it still records audio in the 4k high frame rate modes 2. I hope they realize that would probably sell twice as many if they keep it to $3500-$3999 as opposed to $4500 to $5999. They can make up the difference on R lenses... 3. I hope it has DR and low light ability at least a touch...

    What’s next from Canon?

    Until this year I was using an original 6D. I rented a 5div and an R. I liked both, but chose to pass and wait for the next generation. I got an RP to get a toe in the water and really like it. If the new high res mirrorless is $3500 or less I'll get one, but's that probably unrealistic. My...

    Further confirmation that the RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS & RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS are coming in September

    Yes, there's nothing like hands on testing to curb GAS. I just spent $50 to rent that EF 70-200 f4 mk2 to see how much better it is than my mk1 copy. Yes, it's better, but for me, not worth spending $1200 on, especially when the RF version is about to land. And, I can always rent for special...

    Further confirmation that the RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS & RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS are coming in September

    I'm anxiously awaiting this 24-70 release. Through a combination of renting and owning I've tested the EF 24-70 f4, EF 24-70 f2.8, and the RF 24-105 f4 - all on my EOS RP. I found the two f4 lenses to have equal sharpness, but the 2.8 was better than both. And, I was surprised to find I did not...

    The Canon EOS RP shipments begin on Wednesday

    I have a 6D (not v2) and also have an SL2 as a lightweight kit. I see the RP as a full frame SL2 which may replace both cameras for me (I'd keep the 6D as a second body). I've not seen this mentioned anywhere, but the RP/SL2 size and weight are pretty close. Compared to the SL2, the RP height...

    Is the EF 70-200mm f/4L IS II Still Being Announced This Month?

    My 70-200 f4 (bought fall 2010) is not a great copy. It's merely OK on crop and pretty good on my 6D, but not amazing. So, I'm excited to see this new version - if it has improved sharpness.
