    Canon is actively conducting market research on a “retro” style camera body

    It sounds funny but I actually went with the D810 over the 5D MK3 just because I preferred Nikon's 50/1.8 over Canon's -- and didn't want to spend $400 for a 50/1.4 that I didn't find that appealing. I may have felt the same way about their 24-70/2.8, but I don't totally remember. That and I...

    Canon is actively conducting market research on a “retro” style camera body

    Really, what I want is a camera with manual controls and non-EOS 650 aesthetics, lol. I have bounced back and forth between Canon and Nikon in the past. I think I moved from Canon to Nikon 5-6 years ago because a couple of the specific lenses I wanted were less expensive or better.

    Nice recap. I didn't know almost any of that.

    Canon is actively conducting market research on a “retro” style camera body

    The biggest fundamental advantage that Canon has over Nikon, here, is that they actually seem to listen to their customers. Nikon makes horrible, arbitrary decisions regarding certain product features, and I would love to move back to Canon if given the opportunity.

    Canon is actively conducting market research on a “retro” style camera body

    If you think about it, the world of photographers have gotten so far away from the 60's ethos, or even 80's-90's ethos of carrying a camera around to capture moments from life itself -- that it's no wonder that none of these people are left to talk about this stuff online. Like I said in another...

    Canon is actively conducting market research on a “retro” style camera body

    I don't agree with every point but I like what you said about the viewfinders. I definitely don't feel that the only benefit from the film SLR's is the VF; it's just one of them. And several aspects make those alone better than DSLR's. I really do not like the f/4 limit of stock viewfinders...

    Totally, they should either do a scalloped metal grip or rip off the texture from the AIS Nikons.

    Canon is actively conducting market research on a “retro” style camera body

    The 60's-era lenses were nice to look at. Scalloped with the metal ring. Could also do black. I think these are a better look than the 80's era lenses. Maybe could be modified a little bit but this or the FD L designs would be a place to start. The 80's looking plastic stuff was no bueno

    Please make an FD adapter that matches the styling of the lenses and camera!

    I'd love to see them do both at some point. I like your idea though.

    Canon is actively conducting market research on a “retro” style camera body

    I am preferring the images from Canon R glass over Nikon Z glass. The Nikon glass is kind of boring. The Canon images are more interesting, and I like that Canon is taking risks on making interesting glass (28-70/2.0) I would love to switch over from Nikon if the choices were right.

    Canon is actively conducting market research on a “retro” style camera body

    Hi Canon (if you're reading this). =) I'm stopping in from Nikon Rumors. My first camera was an AE-1 Program and I fell in love with photography. Been back and forth since brands since then, and I am really excited about the Nikon Zf -- but haven't bought one yet. Here are a few ideas that could...

    Canon RF 85mm f/2 IS STM in the pipeline [CR1]

    f/2 is a nice sweet spot for that 85mm focal length. Good choices Canonn

    Here are more images of the Canon EOS R5

    The R was way cooler looking. This one is too rounded.
