E.g. in eye AF they have selectable left or right eye priority, very convinient feature,
http://learn.usa.canon.com/resources/articles/2018/eos-m50/eos-m50-autofocus.shtmlWhile Eye Detect AF will normally focus upon the eye nearest to the camera, if you want to concentrate on the subject’s other eye, that’s easy to do — just press the AF Point Select button, on the back of the camera, twice. You’ll see the smaller “box” surrounding the detected eye jump to the subject’s other eye.
Do I need more dof? Nope
Thanks!This is a good use of shallow DOF. The whole subject is in focus (at least without pixel peeping), but the background isn't so blurred that you can't tell what it is. I have to say I found with the 85L 1.2 that sometimes the background was *too* out of focus, and my totally amateur observation of a lot of portraiture is that the background is included to some extent, especially where the person's living or working space is part of the story.
Thanks!
I want wide open, and include/exclude using the distance between me and the subject and subject to background.
That shot was wide open with the 200 f2.0
I’ve owned two and sold them both and regret it every day. But it is too heavy for me. It’s everything you think and moreAh! A lens I have dreamed of but will probably never own
I get that this is a downside (and it will be to me too although I've probably used less customisation etc over the years than most here) - but isn't this always the case with a major upgrade? For people using it as a 2nd camera (for eg) with a Canon DSLR, it will mean switching lay-outs with switching cameras, but for those moving to the EOS-R as a primary camera, isn't it just a few weeks of familiarity? Everything else you are saying sounds very positive, and a real-world confirmation of the marketing pointsHaving spent a lot of time with the EOS R at Photokina I’m truly in two minds about it. On the one hand I like the smaller form factor, the four new lenses, how quick it focuses, and the quality of the images but on the other hand the control layout compared to the DSLRs is totally different and takes time to get used too.
The back button focus button could be further over to the left for my liking I found it irritating after awhile.
The FV function is pretty cool and I’m sure once used continuously the layout will become second nature so only time will tell.
The adapters work really well with EF lenses I used a EF 70-200mm f2.8L IS USM III and it focused quicker than it does on my DSLRs. Same was true with the EF 100 f2.8L IS USM.
Something says wait and that likely what I will do.
Thanks! It’s a Siros 800 L ,camera right, in a “BeautyBox 65” white beauty dish, and sun top leftThat's a great shot! great job with the DOF, distance, speed, light, and photographic art work.
For my tastes, the background calls attention to itself when it is too blurry and therefore becomes the distraction.That's a great shot! great job with the DOF, distance, speed, light, and photographic art work.
more a problem for me are the reports about banding.
an issue that the nikon Z7 has too as it seems (dpreview).
I'm considering the switch, what does it compromise vs 5DMKIV other than no dual cards, no joystick and different button layout?I got to try an R body today. Very nice but layout is not as good as 5D or 1Dx. Too many compromises. IMO not well thought out to help users switch.
had my hands on with the canon at photokina.
i found the eye af to be terrible to be honest.
maybe as good as the eye af in a A6000 camera (which i never used because of it´s "performance").

EVF is nice, build quality was canon like... nothing to complain here.
i would have given the EOS R a joystick instead of the touch bar.
i guess that will be a feature that vanishes on later models.
i did not like it that much.
