    Hello all, I am new to the forum and am looking to purchase my first camera. I have been considering the EOS R and preordering the EOS R8. Could you please advise on the benefits of each and which you would recommend for someone looking for a camera to use primarily for scenery and car photos...

    EOS R this holiday season? Is it worth it vs an R6?

    The EOS R is two years old now, and with the release of the R5/R6, its price should start coming down again for the holiday season. The lowest I ever remember seeing it for was around $1100 Refurb, which coming from Canon, is basically like new condition, and $1400 new. It seems likely we'll see...

    Upgrade to EOS R or wait?

    Hey Everyone, So I’ve been thinking about upgrading from my Canon 80D. The EOS R has really stood out to me based off all my research and watching it perform in the areas I would most likely use it in. (Portraits, Landscapes, YouTube Videos & Cinematics). I’m currently using both a Sigma 35mm...

    First time lapse vidieo using EOS R (love it too!!)

    I went to NYC last winter for 6 weeks. Next to my old Canon 5D Mark IV and very old 6D I was using my new Canon EOS R for shooting this time lapse and hyperlapse. Why I love it for time lapse and hyperlapse :love: It is very helpful for day to night time lapse that all buttons can be...

    First video using EOS R (love it) after switching from Sony a7riii

    Just finished editing my first video using the Canon EOS R. I was a bit skeptical from reading all the reviews and switching from SONY but overall I am very pleased. There's something about Canon colors and the camera itself is easy to handle (interface, dials, etc...). My only real complaint is...

    EOS R Hot Pixel experience?

    So I got my EOS R recently and have completely fell in love with the feel and abilities of this camera. Unfortunately there were a cluster of hot pixels on the sensor that appear in the middle of the EVF. They were stuck red, in addition to a stuck white one in the bottom left. I tried the...

    Switching from EVF from Manual/Auto can't save with Custom Buttons

    I like the EVF, But In video The EVF Auto Mode, it automatically switches back and forth when I have the camera on a gimbal. So I saved it with my video settings to be manually changed, then setup a button to toggle it on/off. So i have no gimbal issues But in picture mode i like having...

    EOS RP vs R vs M50 vs 1DX mk2

    Hi, new guy here. I got curious to see side by side the specs of these great cameras. The recent 3 mirrorless, and the king. To me it is amazing how the king stands up, after so much time. It gives me hope about the "lasting" of the gear. Here is the chart, in a dropbox PDF...

    AF to -6ev, but what about with an F4 lens Canon?

    I love the spec of Canon's new EOS-R focusing down to -6ev when using their new RF 50mm f1.2 lens. BUT i can't find any information on what it can achieve using a more normal F4 lens - such as the 'kit' 24-105 F4 it might be supplied with? Is it actually better than my rated -3ev EOS 6D camera...

    85mm: Which one to buy used now to hold value for resale when RF comes out?

    I'm a new EOS R owner and loving the camera so far. I'm finding myself craving an 85mm lens for it already and since I'm new to Canon, I don't have a lens portfolio to choose from. I have the Canon adapter so I can use EF lenses no problem, but I don't want to do so long-term knowing there's...

    Just got an email from B&H about my backorder status

    I preordered on September 21. The email just said: “The following is still out of stock.” Then it shows the EOS R kit and grip that I ordered. Is this email irrelevant? Or does it mean that I’m not going to get mine shipped during the first wave of shipments?

    Design of the EOS-R. An interview with product development manager

    I used Google translate which seemed OK: https://news.mynavi.jp/article/20180910-690162/ Some interesting points that I found: The number of pixels itself is the same as EOS 5D Mark IV, but the sensor itself is newly developed...It is raising ISO sensitivity more than EOS 5D Mark IV. Digic 8...
