Well at least it's not because of all the Canon vs Nikon arguing.

I have no problem.
If it existed, it would.
Replace "must" with "may" and that sentence could be okay.
The camera is targeting an exact reproduction. In fact, we all argue about the accuracy of this reproduction at length - noise, DR and color from sensors, geometric distortion, spherical aberration, chromatic aberration and field flatness (etc.) from lenses.
The scene is not imagined. It exists. The way it's reproduced (NOT created) by the camera and photographer doesn't change that.
That "imagined result" doesn't really exists, for the most part. You don't imagine a scene, and then go out and find that exact scene and photograph it. You start with a scene and imagine how you're going to record it. But it's already there.
No it doesn't.
I've seen a lot of it that is supposedly in that area, and some of it is quite good (most isn't), but that doesn't make it art.
It's just a categorization. Everything that is listed as an "art" in most lists involves creating the "thing" that's produced or reproduced in your head - except photography. To me, that's an indication there's something wrong with the categorization.
It's like Pluto. When it was discovered that it not only is completely unlike every other planet (because of its size, orbital eccentricity, orbital plane and the fact that it crosses Neptune's orbit) but also that's it's much more like thousands of other small bodies, its categorization was changed from "planet" to "member of the Kuiper Belt", subset "Dwarf Planet" because it's large enough to be in hydrostatic equilibrium (it's big enough that gravity pulled it into a near-spherical shape). That's all I'm saying here - Photography is unlike any of the other listed arts, therefore it has been mis-categorized. I'm not dissing it - it's my second (of seven) most active hobbies.

New Rumor: Canon EOS R6
It appears as if Canon is going to put a 5 and 6 series camera bodies out for the EOS RF mount to mimic what they have on the EF mount. It really does speak to the fact hat the EOS R and RP were possibly simply stopgaps until Canon got everything moving in the same direction for mirrorless...

Not necessarily correct especially if we are talking about different resolution sensors for the new cameras.New Rumor: Canon EOS R6

It is up to you, but if you are no longer a pro, then you should no longer care about CPS membership anymore: "The CPS program is available to full-time and part-time imaging professionals who meet the membership level requirements of equipment ownership and business status. "Would be GREAT, but not possible, as I´m retired. No tax inspector would believe that an >80 years old man needs photographic equipment for his business
If I were you (I no longer live in the EU), I would definitely spend ~100€ to fly to Zürich on or just after Feb 13th and would get my VAT refund, because it is Schengen Area but outside of the EU... https://www.canonrumors.com/forum/i...with-bonuses-and-a-giveaway.38050/post-810802

The European CPS program is different. You don't have to be a pro only to register products, get points and get a free membership at a level depending on the number of points collected.

If R5's announcement is close (about 2.5 weeks away) I will chose to believe it's rumor since in these cases this site has proven correct many times in the past.

You are missing the point of the $. The 1dxmk1 sensor was an analog sensor with external ADC, so the dynamic range is largely controlled by how clean the environment is and how good the ADC is. Really high dynamic range ADCs are quite pricey and the shielding to keep the environment clean is also a fussy and expensive process. All the analog canon sensors are much better in DR terms than the delivered result for exactly those reasons. How good the sensors themselves are is demonstrated by the fact that they were class leading at high ISOs. Affordable ADCs just couldn't keep up.

Thank you for this clarification, I appreciate it. Indeed, CPS is free in EMEA. So I've just created my profile and saw that it seems to be possible to register gear bought abroad. Since I had no problem to register my gear purchased in Canada, there shouldn't be any problem for a German customer to register his gear bought in Switzerland and to have the associated benefits:

Canon is still making EF lenses. Just because they are not developing new ones doesn’t mean production has stopped. The rf mount has made the ef even better because of the adaptors. There is nothing wrong with ef, it might not be as clinical as the rf but they are sharp, they have character and I think many people will take character still over clinical.

I think she's a pro-troll. She comments on a few sites with some of the bizarrest, off-base, rambling commentary I've seen on a forum.

A lot of folks have been cross checking and the rumor looks pretty much on point, but you are right about the DPR comment section. That crowd just can't believe Canon would make something like this at any price and if they did, it must cost at least $5k. I am thinking it will come in around $3500 and they are going to wet themselves. I also think it will come much sooner than July, given how short the delivery is on the 1DXIII compared to historical 1D delivery times. Canon has been stalling the last few years to get a bunch of stuff in order, both in R&D and fab. I think that stall period has now ended and we will be seeing repeated shock and awe attacks. The first clue was the VERY positive review DPR gave the 1DXIII (although the DPR fan base is still choking on that review).

"Steffanie" doesn't seem to be well. None of that made a goddamn lick of sense.
