Canon EOS R6 Mark III & RF 45 F1.2 STM November 6
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
It's funny how many people say that, and yet, the original method with all the shots in a "group" is so much easier if your pre-capture sequence has only one or two keepers (as mine often do), or if you have no keepers (probably 50% of mine fall into this category). Erase the whole sequence - easy. Choose one or two and save them to their own file - easy. The issue is, as usual, when something new comes along, people can't figure out how to do it right.

I love my EF 50mm f/1.4 for the unique "look" and this RF 45mm f/1.2 should be a really fun lens too

If I read these rumors correctly, then R63 would be a downgrade from R62 for me.
I hope for some surprise. Maybe at least faster readout.
- More rolling shutter.
- Lower max ISO.
- Need to buy CF card.
- Not even the accelerator.
- Slower processing of larger files in post.

Those are not external focus lenses. Only the zoom is external. They also don't extend and retract when powering the camera on and off.

CVP did some C50 measurements, it's actually the same as before for stills or open gate (18ms) or a little quicker for cinema 4k video (14ms).
In APS-C super 35mm crop mode it uses a different mode that is supposed to have a +1 stop dynamic range, but the same 14ms readout time.
Basically similar to what it was before, but with more resolution and dynamic range with C-Log 2, so a good improvement overall.

The RF 45mm f/1.2 STM may actually launch at €499. At least the contradiction is in the right direction.

What? That’s less than the 35mm!
Okay, I hate to say this, but I think it’s time to start lowering expectations…
I know we’ve had an early price leak, but originally I expected this kind of lens to be priced at something like 799€ to 1099€, which then we’d be able to purchase at 25 to 35% less in a good day, but this is completely different.
Sounds like you’re right.
Not really wider though, if the 48.5mm patent is confirmed, but it's understandable they'll avoid having two lenses named "RF 50mm f/1.2" in the market.

I think you'll find that this is Canons new "nifty 50". It'll be the lens we see on all the future product pictures of cameras going forwards. Canon will make a ton of these and sell them like sweeties. Finally! A standard prime to be proud of.

The spec for the new R6iii is a bit meh...and underwhelming. I think like everybody esle, I was expecting Canon to push Stacked sensors across the upper range of cameras.
The EVF resolution is a really good thing. However, the increase in sensor resolution really closes the gap between the R5ii and the R6ii. In a side by side comparision between the R5ii files and the R6iii files there will be hardly any noticable real world difference in captured detail. Effectively the R6iii becomes a R5 mki....ie an R5 without a stacked sensor.
I'm also wondering if Canon's game plan here is to sell non R5 users two cameras and not one. The R5ii is effectively Canon's "do it all exceptionally well" camera. Where as the R6iii isn't so sports / high fps orientated, so if you buy this camera then you'll probably need a R7ii as well.
It also makes users of the R5ii think more carefully what camera they choose for their 2nd camera. From Canon's perpective, its a R6iii or a R7ii. However as consumers, we have new/old stock and lightly used S/H R5 mki and R6ii to consider too.

Because of the new LP-E6P battery, it will most likely need the newer BG-R20 grip for full functionality.
Meaning that you may use a BG-R10, but not with an LP-E6P, therefore some functions will be disabled.
No, screen articulation is the same as before.

I see different numbers given for R6 Mark II photo mode, 14 or 18 ms. Possibly different measurement methods or some other variables. Didn't find one source for both cameras, did you?

Some (including AI search) just can't interpret measurements and provide wrong data. As long as the test is done properly, the difference between various sources is miniscule, talking about those difference is wasted space.
Stills mode:
"We checked both the rolling shutter rate and the impact on dynamic range of engaging the camera's high speed e-shutter modes. In terms of rolling shutter, we measured it as 18ms (1/56 sec). "
Video mode:

If you want to be pedantic, here is the same source (similar measurements as CVP...)

The R6 III might have the 17:9 ratio for full width 4k (like C50) and 16:9 might have a slight (1.07x) crop, ever so slighly smaller area.
To sum up: the readout in the R6 III is likely to be as good, if not a bit better than an R6 II despite an increase in resolution and dynamic range.

Im not trying to be a jerk when I say this...... but maybe don't rest your camera on the lens lol. There are 5 sides much better suited for that.It could be on top of your desk, for instance...
You know how the lenses react when you open and close the battery or memory card door, while your camera is off, right? They extend and retract a little.
Last week I went for a stroll with a camera, something I haven't done in years. Usually I don't shoot 35, so I decided to take it as main lens, that day.
I didn't put the JJC lens hood on. I barely use this lens, might as well try making it simpler. Plus, the hood is weird anyway.
5 minutes on, I take the RP out of my shoulder bag, and the lens is like this.
It would have extended completely, with a little more time. This is the worst lens I have regarding lens creep.
Later, I get home, put the camera on my desk, remove the SD card, close the battery door, hear a weird noise, and then I realise the lens is trying to extend while the camera is on top of it. I had put the camera face down, without lens hood.
I just said in my language "I had forgotten why I hate this lens...".
Yes, I have other external focusing lenses, the 16, the 28 and the 50, but the 28 is too small to put the camera face down, and I always use lens hoods on the others - they're too small to put face down without hoods anyway.
With the exception of the 16mm, that I actually use for work, I own the 28, 35 and 50 for personal stuff.
I work mainly with the 28-70 and 70-200, two somewhat big lenses, so I usually put my cameras vertically on the table, it's not on purpose.
Seriously, I'm fed up with these weird designs...

I usually rest my cameras on the heavier element. My most used lenses weight two to three times the weight of the cameras.
This is the best way to put them down, big lenses have diameters wide enough for the cameras not to stay still if you rest them in different positions.
