They further enhanced face and eye AF?! I already thought it was nothing short of amazing. I'm also very happy about body detection and the low-light stutter fix.

Different photographers, different needs.I never needed such a dinosaur of then gone DSLR area while using modern mirrorless cameras.
In my life a focus point does not represent anything needed for perfect exposure, nothing!
Aren't you still able to shoot pictures despite the download process?also i do not see a fix for a but that when (at least) EF 70-200 L 2.8 IS II is attached to the camera, and when downloading images to PC via cable, then the IS in ON all the time and makes krrrrr noise, unless I slide the slider on the lens to OFF. During file transfer those things should go OFF automatically, or not even turn on when the cable or PC is detected.
I just saw a YouTube video a couple days ago from Roberto Valenzuela and he mapped the depth of field preview to do exactly that. He said when he’s shooting (most likely a wedding) and he anticipates action about to happen that he wants to be sure not to miss, he sets the DOF preview to shoot 8K when pressed do he can grab highest quality stills later. So you must be missing something. This was on the R5 maybe your on a different camera.Add to that better/more options for button customisation.
That big depth of filed preview button that I've never used is crying out to be used as a REC button in video mode.
Can’t you custom set that now?
yes.Can’t you custom set that now?
It can I saw it in a YouTube video just the other day. Roberto Valenzuela. I think it was in a series of videos he made for custom setting all the menu items. He definitely mapped the DOF preview button to instantly start shooting 8K for frame grabs later when he didn’t want to miss sudden fast action.Loved to be told different or better told how but I’ve not found a setting for REC.
I agree 100%. The only sure way to get the correct exposure on a BIF is to set the exposure for the bird using M exposure. That way no matter if the background luminosity changes as the bird flies against blue sky then mid-tonal trees and then dark water all within a few seconds of flight time, the exposure on the bird will be correct. Well, as long as you did a good job on setting the exposure. But at least you can't blame your equipment for the bad exposure.With my R5, for BIF shots against a blue sky, I find that partial (manual) metering from the sky, and about plus half a stop of compensation usually does the trick.
Using any kind of automatic metering (P, Av, Tv) is unreliable, as the exposure will then be affected as the background changes (to clouds, clear sky, or forest) while panning.
If you’re in Fv mode, have ISO and shuttter speed set to fixed values and aperture set to Auto, then use exposure bracketing, wouldn’t that give you aperture bracketing?But I would still like to see an "aperture bracketing" feature offered. You can bracket a lot of things, and I really want to bracket apertures when taking some of my photos!
Exactly. Just a little polish, and we would be so happy.I think it's kind of odd that Canon didn't/ doesn't release any firmware updates for the R/ RP. Yes, I know, being released in Oct. 2018 and spring 2019 means they're basically outdated. But since there have been no successors to both models yet and Canon has released several affordable consumers lenses and probably is going to add the RF 24mm and maybe the RF 18-45mm soon, it would make great sense to show both cameras some love and give them a slight upgrade. Especially the R has a great value with current pricing, with a small firmware update Canon would surely boost its sales.
There's not much that needs to be done there:
- 8 FPS with full auto-focus maybe
- improved eye-AF
- 4k 60 FPS
One of these three suggestions would make for a great firmware update. (and the other ones for update No. 2 & 3
Sadly, that's true (so far)! But I firmly believe that Canon has to step its game with the M-line and affordable RF mount lenses/ cameras because Nikon has a pretty good selling Z50 now and Sony has an entire line-up. So a little product care here and there would be helpful.But you could say the same for the M6 ii. And it won't happen!

Eye-AF already works great for humans, and is pretty reliable for cats and dogs.They further enhanced face and eye AF?! I already thought it was nothing short of amazing.
Completely agree. Recently I was considering a Sony a7 iv to have access to all those nice Tamron lenses... But than I took my Canon-medicine, and now it's over. Probably an R6. Looks amazing!Sadly, that's true (so far)!

I'm still holding out a tiny bit of hope for EFCS support in a future update![..]But you could say the same for the M6 ii. And it won't happen!
