    CRAW. — what is your take?

    Ok, reading the R5 manual I see that CRAW is one of the capture file choices. Knowing nothing about it, I did a google search looking most for any downsides for using. The little that I found said that image quality is not much different from uncompressed RAW and file size is reduced by about...

    Pop-up Hades

    On my iPad, I’m getting a barrage of pop-ups that frequently overlay site content and require clicking the X box to close so that I can see underneath. Then almost immediately another pop-up replaces it. Makes it very annoying to visit Canon Rumors.

    Beginning February 20, U.S. copyright office will limit group photo registrations to 750 images per registration. Previously there was no limit on image quantity in a group registration. So, if you have a lot of images to copyright, there are only a few days to get in under the old provisions.

    Which would you prefer

    I am seeing the Canon 5DS R advertised at dealer site (4 July Sale) for $2595. Even less at non dealer web sites. Would you rather have a 6D II for $1999. or pay $600 more and get a new 5DS R? Not a lot of space in the prices, but a lot of space in the capabilities.

    Sigma 14mm f1.8 star photo

    Finally a shot where some idea of coma performance can be discerned. My take on this low res photo is that there is some coma, but probably something I could live with. http://sigma-global.com/en/lenses/cas/product/art/a_14_18/testshot/index.html

    Tony Northrup Photokina Canon, Nikon, Sony camera predictions

    Anyone can make predictions and Tony's are interesting, if not controversial. He thinks 5D4 will be delayed until 2017 and have a 75M sensor. That's certainly different from the take here at CR. See his video...

    IS vs Shutter Speed

    I've been shooting BIF handheld for quite a few years. Recently I am using a new telephoto and have mostly shot in IS mode 3. I am wondering if there is a high shutter speed at which sharpness begins to suffer if IS is on? For instance, shooting at shutter speed 1/2000 with 400mm handheld would...

    Rokinon 12mm F2.8 Fish-Eye

    OK, I've had the lens for 2 days and have taken a few shots. A Fish-Eye lens is a new kind of Fish in my camera bag. This is the first time I've use one and I have to say its a wild experience. At 180 degree field of view (diagonal) it puts practically everything thats in front of the lens into...
