No. Unless it is art.Photography itself isn't art. Processing, using and exposing it to the public makes it art.
So the actual problem is not your definition of art, but your definition of "creative" in terms of art. Ok.
But artistic photography DOES involve "imaginative skill".
In the case of a landscape, a photographic artist must have a mind's eye view of the end result they want to produce
, which may or may not be targeting an exact reproduction
- that's the IMAGINATION
- and then they must have the SKILL to set the camera appropriately, and treat the resulting file (or film) accordingly to achieve that imagined result.
You have been suggesting photography is not "art" because it's a "skill" when your own definition of "art" includes "skill" right in it!
There is certainly photography which is definitively not art; for example test charts for the purpose of measurement, or photographing scientific specimens for the purpose of education. But there is also photography done for the purpose of artistic expression, and I'm sorry you've yet to witness any in your time because it can be truly breathtaking;
Actually it is apples to apple since it’s a 1dxmki sensor with better signal noise and dynamic rangeIt was also a LOT more expensive, so not apples to apples.
As long as this does not happen GAS is partially controllable:I think I may need to stop following this website.
I do find several of the threads fun and like to keep up with the latest in gear.
But, lately, I found myself wanting a 1DX III. As of today, I may have changed that to wanting two R5s (a potential "forever" camera for me).
All that, and I am completely happy with my 5DIV.....My only real "want" was a few more fps.
Not necessarily correct especially if we are talking about different resolution sensors for the new cameras.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...www.canonnews.com

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
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.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.

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
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.Sony fanboys are just about breathless over on DPR.
Put those Alpha’s back in the toy box because it’s 2020 and Canon is about to drop the mic.
It is totally gonna suck if this rumor turns out to be bogus.
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.Actually it is apples to apple since it’s a 1dxmki sensor with better signal noise and dynamic range

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.5D5 always more expensive than R5.
If R5 + EF-RF less than 5D5, why buy 5D5?
No new EF lens. Canon want all EF to buy new RF. Need carrot.

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).Sony fanboys are just about breathless over on DPR.

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.
