I stand corrected, the RF 35mm macro is 1:2, not 1:1:

Yep. But I’m not seeing the ‘significant improvements in optical capability’ and ‘substantial reductions in size/weight’ that some people claimed would be the hallmark of lenses designed for FF MILCs. The RF 24-105/4 is optically pretty similar to the EF 24-105/4 II, which is pretty optically similar to its predecessor. The RF version is a little shorter than the EF MkII, and the same size as the EF MkI.
The RF version does use a linear NanoUSM motor (good call on your part!), and it’s focus-by-wire like all the RF lenses. Do you like manual focus with FBW lenses? I have it on my EF-M lenses, and I had it on my 85/1.2L II. Personally, I think it sucks. Actually, you may not care, since you have stated you find manual focus dispensable and irrelevant.
Thanks for confirming that there is sensor protector (shutter) when changing lenses. Maybe this will alleviate some of the dust issues I have heard from Sony users.Hi,
Saw this in this youtuber video:
Have a nice day.
I also would like to be able to buy a camera with the 5D4 sensor for $1600. Additionally, I'd like be able to buy a mirrorless camera with the 5DS sensor for the same price.for $2300 is not worth it ,maybe $1600/$1700
With a £ 750 price gap between the 6D MKII and the EOS-R then your prediction will likely not happen. Canon can afford to lower the price of the 6D MKII and still make good money. Secondly why buy the EOS-R and use an adaptor (another £ 100) when there are cheaper EF lenses than work fine on the 6D MKII without adaptors.Yep I've already figured the price
Among existing Canon FF owners, I think 5DMkIV owners won't upgrade to R (some may consider it as a secondary camera). There's no or little point to change 5D4 for R. Flip screen is the only major advantage. I think R fills the gap between 6DMkII and 5DMkIV, but it's closer to 6DMkII. So 6D or 6DMkII owners may consider upgrading to R.
For those who don't have an FF, R is a great option to start. R is more expensive than 6DMkII but so much better in all areas. If its price drops to around $2000, it'll probably kill 6DII in a while.
But I have no idea how/if it's going to compete against Nikon Z6. Apart from IBIS, Z6 is weaker, and the initial Z lenses are so-so, but it's all cheaper.
Another potential rival, A7rIII has better specs but much more expensive, it's a different category.
So my feeling is, the current price is a bit too much, but only a little bit. But Canon has much more powerful marketing department than my marketing intuition, so I bet this camera will sell well.

Hi,
It's has eye focus AF... might not be as good as Sony version, but Canon will have firmware upgrade to improve it in the near future.
Have a nice day.
Probably, realistically sometime in the first quarter of 2019 - maybe mid-to-late January (at the earliest)...It's a pass for me, I'll wait for the higher end model with IBIS, 2 card slots, and 1080p120.
These were the 3 features I needed along side eyeAF...
Do you guys know when can we expect an announcement of the higher end model ?

One other thing I found curious is that they call this camera the "R", with no numerical designation. What then, would the "pro" model be referred to as?
What lens-body communication is required to support manual focus (other than power)?I am guessing that the faster comms rate of the R mount is to remove the lag in the FBW, which should reduce the suck?
Might be like the “D” in 5D. The 5R, perhaps?
