Thanks have clearly gone through to many bodies since 2018:) Guess my result improvement was just placebo. Cheers

Some of the issues with AF I have seen remind me when I went from my EOS R to the R5. The images I was getting with the 45MP R5 were not as sharp as what I was used to on my EOS R, 6D or even my 7D. I recall being frustrated by this because when I was getting sharp images on the R5 they looked...

Thanks for the link, I tend to avoid the main Japanese site and instead download from Canon Singapore (I find the English translation is better) if I want to be on the cutting edge of the release window. We are spoiled for choice on where to download Canon's files. I simply found it amusing...

I got a notice of the new firmware for the R7 from Canon Canada but the file is not posted :D

Yeah - https://www.canonrumors.com/forum/threads/r3-firmware-1-4-released.42206/#post-959668

Looks like there is a minor firmware for the R3 to 1.4.1 Firmware version 1.4.1 incorporates the following functional improvements and fixes. Adds support for Speedlite EL-5.* Adds [Register people priority] to the camera menu. Pre-registered people can now be detected and tracked with...

Ah, yep went right over my head:

I thought it was included for the R3 - Maybe I am missing something @neuroanatomist From Canon Canada's site: Firmware Version 1.4.0 incorporates the following enhancements and fixes: 1. Adds support for Speedlite EL-5.* *The automatic light intensity adjustment of the AF-assist beam is not...

These features seem interesting to me: Adds [Register people priority] to the camera menu. Pre-registered people can now be detected and tracked with priority.** ** This feature may not operate if faces are too small to detect, in profile or turned at an angle or partially hidden; for scenes...

Sucks for the staff, but not really unexpected. The Camera market being what it is means this will likely not be the last place to fade to black.

I always like Beta, was sad when it became clear they had lost the battle for the consumer market. Still have an old Sanyo Beta system and some 80's movies in storage. :D While I understand your point I do think it is a bit of a leap to to compare the two. Canon are not preventing anyone from...

Beta Max, MINI DISC.... The list of crap that Sony has pulled over the years is staggering. They are not more open because they want to be, they are more open in an attempt to gain market share. How is Canon protecting their HIGH end video line when shipping a $1500 USD camera that shoots 4K...

Shutters wear out? Wow who would have guessed;) Anyway, the longer warranty appears to be the result of changes to consumer protection laws and not really a direct marketing scheme on Canon's part. My point is not to debate the usefulness of warranties. I was simply pointing out that in order...

The longer warranties appear to be a result of changes to consumer protection laws in Australia that came into effect in 2019.

Funny how so many Aussie's seem to forget that they also get 5 years of Canon factory warranty, 3 more years then the Sony glass in Australia. Are the 3 years of extra coverage worth the price difference? Hard to say really but 5 years vs 2 years really does expose Canon to some pretty high...

100% agree The guy has the same "contacts" as you and I, he reads Canon Rumors... Being VERY cynical he has always struck me as cheap knock off of Sandy Rivers from How I met your Mother. Sandy Rivers Segment - "In todays paper" Where he literally reads from todays paper:)

A few shots from my local pond using the R3 and the 100-500 Song Sparrow Golden Crowned Sparrow Male - Wood Duck Female - Wood Duck

Disable Preview AF on page 3 of the AF menu. I have no idea why Canon decided to rename Continuous AF to Preview AF...

Upgraded to 1.3.0 without issue. Best advice: Format the card you are going to use to update in the Camera first. Remove Card from Camera. Using a card reader copy the firmware to the cards root. Remove any attached lens before doing the upgrade. Make sure to have a full Canon official...

Yep
