100-500 with competent f/5.6 at 400mm through to f/7.1 at 500mm according to the spec sheets on my usual shops.

 

[Viggo]

So 8 stops with IBIS alone?

Insane. The 4K oversampled using 100% of all color channels – a huge STFU to the, "Who needs 8K?" crowd.

Full menu system (R5 beta firmware, R6 production firmware)

Canon is back to being “THE NEW GAME CHANGER” eat your heart out Sony

Shooting at 2-4 seconds handheld! As if M43 wasn't already dead enough.

Confirmed! Woop.

Edit: Helps with the nostalgia tinged sadness I feel about selling my 100-400 ii yesterday.

 

[highdesertmesa]

Clean ISO up to 12K. Canon: serving up crow for breakfast today.

 

[Timedog]

f/5.6 at 400! Suddenly that lens makes sense!

 

[Maximilian]

Is Canon still doomed?

100-500 with competent f/5.6 at 400mm through to f/7.1 at 500mm according to the spec sheets on my usual shops.

I called it way back. No way they add 400-500 and take away aperture at 400 from their beloved and venerable 100-400 masterpieces.

The 800mm f/11 can work with the 2x extender.... umm ok

I thought it would be f/5.6 at 400mm too. They made a huge deal about this lens.

no GPS on the R5 correct?

And I was skeptical.

I guess that's why it rates the price premium. So, when does it jump to 6.3 then 7.1, or does it just go from 5.6 all the way to 7.1?

Maybe f/6.3 by 450mm ?

 

[Mark D5 TEAM II]

The 100-500 L is the first Canon lens with Dual Nano USM to drive the focusing group.

 

[prodorshak]

There is in-built intervalometer in both of them!
