One a weber BBQ with this one had to be a rural scene. Anyway R6 and guys who are using image for there office are going to make it huge will be interesting to see what it like 1.5 metres by 1 inch believe is what printer said will work. Jpeg as well somewhere I lost the raw was gonna redo as tiff Apparently not needed fine as is with 24mp fraction distorted but they dont care

Yes, it did take a bit of handlings/juggling, so I have ZERO idea why Canon thought RF 1 was an improvement over the EF design. I doubt I will be spending $40 ($8 x 5 lenses) for Version 2 that fixes their design error... they should be giving them away for FREE! https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1970928-REG/canon_lens_dust_cap_rf.html/overview

I am pleasantly surprised by the Minolta MD 45mm f/2 that I got at KEH for $65, so I decided to compare it to the RF 45mm f/1.2 that cost me $470. First, the Minolta is tiny. Second, although the Minolta is old school tech from 1978, it actually competes pretty well in sharpness at apertures above f/4. The corners are never as sharp as the Canon, but the center is pretty damn close at almost every aperture. I'm not going to spam the forum, so here's a sample at f/5.6. Canon on top...

... wasn't the camera, or the lens, or the new lens caps... But this new Canon bag. I kind of want one. But it doesn't seem to be listed anywhere on Canon's website. I won't get started on this girl in the red body suit, or her weird hand next to her face poses that just seemed...weird.

It is available on the Canon USA website, released today EOS R5 Mark II Firmware Update, Version 1.3.0

I currently have the EF 24-240mm f4-6.3 on my R6II, but I'm thinking about replacing it with the RF 24-105mm f4.0L. I like the idea of a non-variable aperture lens. Has anyone here used both of these lenses? If so, what are your thoughts?

“On May 13, 2026, Canon will be announcing the EOS R6 V camera and RF 20-50mm f/4L IS USM PZ (Power Zoom) lens. Both will be available on their own or as a kit. At this point, most things are already known about the camera, but we do have some more information on the lens, as well as a pricing update.” https://www.canonrumors.com/canon-eos-r6-v-rf-20-50mm-f-4l-is-usm-pz-pricing-info-and-more/

Hi Having recently purchased a R5 I was trying to find out the compatibility between it and flash units. I have 3 main flash units. The units are (all Canon) 580EX II MR-14EX (ring flash) MT-26EX (twin head) The Canon documentation for the R5 does not reference them. Newer versions of these models (MR-14EX-RT and MT-26EX-RT) are referenced in the R5 documentation. From my technical viewpoint I cannot see why they should not (safely) operate with the R5. The hotshoe looks identical to...

I would like your opinion? Canon APSC. Can never be a pro camera.? Would you pay the same price as a R6III if the R7II was released as rumored? A true successor to the 7DII. The R7 is Canons longest running camera not being updated. Canon seems that video is the priority. I am a stills photographer and Love my R5 and R7 combo. The R7 needs to be updated. what photographers don't talk about, low res view finder, useless shutter, one the cheapest shutter buttons ever put on a Canon. These...

v1.3.0 should be released soon. AND (drumroll please), guess what function they are adding? "Added ability to assign Pre-continuous Shooting to customisable shooting buttons." 🤩🥳:cool: Finally! This has been of my biggest pet peeves! I always use the back AF button on my Z8 and A1II to begin caching the pre-capture mode! It'll be nice to have this on the R5II.

Hi everyone, I'm new here and new to Canon and looking at getting the R5C. I'm trying to put a lens list together for my purposes which at present would be the bare minimum to migrate over from my Pentax K1 and Nikon D500 systems and be light enough to whack into a backpack for aircraft travel. As I mentioned in the Intro portion of the forum my interests are wildlife, landscape, macro, astro, and video. For wildlife currently I use the Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6 and 600mm f/4, while for...

What are you guys using for gear insurance? I’m not a professional photographer, but I have a pretty decent inventory of camera gear that I would like to protect. I keep seeing various adds on Facebook for gear insurance, but I’m pretty sure most of those are some sort of scam and won’t pay out if you actually need it. What’s good and reliable and a decent price?

First day out with this lens. In retrospect, I should have spent more time at the wheat field.

When I post my photographs how do I add the camera metadata for the pic? Is it included within the jpeg, or do I need to write it in? Thanks

Happy Star Wars Day!!

Is This Photograph Worth $1 Million or $200? Learn How Sotheby's Finds Out? I thought this would be of some interest to some of you. Some people have the coolest jobs.....

Something interesting that I found out while setting up my new R6 mkIII. Not only will it record 24-bit audio, but it also will record 4 channels of audio. You can us the multi-function hot shoe to record two channel, AND the 1/8" mic input to record another two channels, OR the internal mics along with the 1/8" input. Of all the videos and reviews that I read about the R6 mkIII, I don't think I ever heard this feature mentioned. This is a great feature and should be talked about more...

Taken from both sides of the gate. There was a slight breeze so I had to hold on carefully as the DoF was extremely shallow. At the distance the F/stop could have been either f/1.4 or f/16 there wasn't much difference!

I took the new-to-me lens for a spin today along the Sacramento River. What I'm finding out about vintage lenses is that Canon's focus peaking works better with some than with others. Edited with DxO Photolab 9 and FilmPack Time Machine. The last photo is the Cornish House near Clarksburg.

Interesting. Buying gray-market camera equipment has always been a bit of a sticky subject and if a recent report is anything to go by, it could become even stickier. According to Nikon Hong Kong has announced an administration-fee charge for gray market repairs or maintenance, as high as HK$5,000 (roughly $638 / £473 / AU$890), and that’s in addition to the necessary repair/maintenance costs. The worry for gray-market buyers, or prospective buyers elsewhere, is whether or not this policy...
