What is your Canon wish list ?

[johnjohnjohno]

1) a mirror less 6D2 with 60FPS burst....
2) a 500F5.6 lens
3) a 20mm F1.4 with no coma....
4) a new SX-70 to replace my old SX-70...

i copy and pasted it from up there, but that would be <3

A 1DsIII successor

A camera with a silent shutter ! Canon seems to be lagging behind with this option

 

[Hector1970]

A mirrorless full frame that does something like 20FPS
One that could be completely silent with a reasonably good high ISO performance and I'll be done forever.
The 5DIV is quite noisey in silent shutter.

You wonder how much better can they really get from here on in.
The modern Full Frame is so good.
If they could get ISO 51200 as good as say 800 on a 5DIV almost no more would be required.

After holding a Siggy 135 in my hand and comparing it's heft to my 24-70 mk2, my wish list has been modified for a Canon 135 f/1.8 or f/2L with all the trimmings and a couple hundred grams less than the Sigma. $1399?

My only wish is M6 with clean HDMI output and no sleep after 30 min

• A fast-focussing 85/1.4L BR IS USM that is similar in size to the more pocketable 35/1.4L than the bizarre Sigma 85/1.4 Art

I wish canon could ship the lens. Not a trace of news on availability in the last week. Still hopeful it'll show up before Christmas.

An update on the 400 L 5.6: Add IS, make it f/5 and with current AF. And bump up the sharpness.

I performed AF microadjustment on my 70-200 and Sigma 135 on both my 80D and 5D IV. The accuracy and speed of the Canon AF is noticeably better than the Sigma. The Sigma is pretty good, but just not in the same league, and this is the best Sigma has produced with regard to AF.

I posted this earlier in another thread but think it is better fit here:

I would like to see firmware upgrade from Canon for my 1DXm2 with some additional features to make it more competitive with my Sony a9.
Possible feature additions coul be:
1. Provide HDR mode using dual pixel technology or dual shots with different ISO settings . 3d parties did that for 5Dm III long time back , why Canon refuses to do it directly for their customers?
2. Provide function for reducing image noise using multiexposure functionslity. Something that I described here many years back for 1DX , but done with a single button press insteead of doing some manual manipulations.
3. Internal lens AFMA calibration - to make getting full lens resolution as user friendly as on mirrorles cameras. Even using automated FoCal for that is kind of headache.
4. Improve video functionality - better codecs, 10bit 4:2:2 internal recording at least for HD and 4k 10bit 4:2:2 for external HDMI recorder.
Not too much.
To continue to be loyal to Canon need to see that they provide what customers need and be highly competitive.
Now with Sony a9 I get much more from it for much less money than what I get from Canon 1DXm2.
Though there is no doubt that I still have much more confidence in using 1DXm2 and Canon L lens in harsh conditions than for any of the Sony camera.
So I still need my 1DXm2 , just want featurs update to be more happy with that.
So that regardless of which brand I use I can get maximum from any of them and do not need to use two cameras at the same time to complement missing functionality.

Not sure if I posted this before but:

14mm TS-E
I'd pay the $3000+ if necessary

My wish from Canon is a firmware update for the latest EOS 7D MkII.
I want to have the scale of aperture in the little display above in mode "M". It is necessary for many photographers. I do not understand, why this is not there. The scale you can only see in the automatic modes?!

EF 50mm f1.4L IS USM

EF 100mm f 1.4L IS USM

(These two focal lengths would prove a complete set of f1.4 primes)

EF 50mm f1.4L IS USM

EF 100mm f 1.4L IS USM

(These two focal lengths would prove a complete set of f1.4 primes)

Oh gods, yes. Though I'd also want a 28mm f/1.4 IS, too. And if they were going down that route then the 35mm would probably need to be updated with IS.

Can't say I'm fussed about them making them 'L' lenses, either. It'd be a necessity for the 100mm, but the 50mm could stay non-L; ultimately making it an 'L' just means doubling the price tag for no particular gain, and has no bearing on construction or performance. (I mean, look at the 35mm f/2 IS, or even the old 100mm f/2; they're not 'L's, but you'd never guess it from their results.)



Either way, 28, 50, and 100/105 has been my 'default' kit for however many years now, and to get fresh lenses at those lengths with both big apertures and IS would be a godsend as I do more and more lower-light work.

Since Canon delivers, how about a 35/1.4L IS next?

Canon needs to replace the sensor in the new 6Dmk2. The camera is a total flop with sensor dynamic range lower than original 6D. This camera cannot be reliably used in landscapes unless ND filters and or HDR is used. The señsor used in the 5D4 is terrific, if they used a reduced megapixel version of the same sensor in the 6d2 Canon would have had a real hot selling hit on their hands.

Now that Canon has created a reasonably competitive M5 mirrorless camera they need to come up with some small form factor quality lenses to take advantage of what is essentially an 80D sensor. Unfortunately came up with kit lenses with plastic lens mounts and extremely slow f6.3 lenses. If Canon could come up with two or three high quality small lenses to complement the M5 I would definitely buy the system. One of the nice things about the M3 was that it came with a high quality 18-55 f 3.5-5.6 kit lens with a metal lens mount. The lens was a perfect size match with the M3 and took great photos. Why Canon took a step back with the lens kits for the much more competitive M5 camera is a mystery to me.

Has anybody mentioned a 50mm L as good as the 35mm L II? : ;D

Happy New Years!

 

[brad-man]

I thought I'd throw my list out there before the new year. It does not include a FF mirrorless, as I'm quite happy with my 5DlV.

EF-M 15 f/2.0
EF-M 32 f/1.8 IS
EF-M 53 f/2.0 IS
EF-M 15-45 f/4.0 IS
EF-M 62-125 f/4.0 IS

It's about time for some lenses that match the ability of the cameras...

Happy New Year!

20mm f1.4 as good as the 35mm L II please
