…or on safari in Africa! Let’s see some of the Youtube hotshots come here and get good photos between November and April, when the sky is always one giant 18% gray card, the foliage is dead and the birds and animals have hibernated or migrated. :mad:

Although this f/1.8 is a good lens at f/2.8 for astrophotography, don't forget to use it for street photography as well. R5 w/24mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM f/4.5 ~ 1/80 ~ ISO 50 ~ 24mm

I was reading about the R5 MK I and noted that the crop function reduced the pixel count to around 17mp in the image. The R5 MK II has a higher overall pixel count at 45mp. Can anyone tell me what size a cropped image would be ( I am referring to the aspect ratio change outlined in the manual) ie: the 1.6 crop in camera making the sensor effectively an APS-C sensor .

Very first chance to try the R1 and it's cold, dark and raining. . . . I must have spent well over an hour going through the menu system trying to get it set as I had the R3, few changes to the menu system made it a tricky start. To be fair - not my usual subject all a bit too stationary for me but one thing I can say - 100% the focusing is unbelievably fast almost to the point it's on the subject before I move the point. Just a few to get the topic started. all with RF 100-300 2.8 & RF 1.4ext

I mostly shoot portraits of family members, typically my grandkids and sometimes the children of friends. If the pictures are just everyday types with casual poses I don't do much more than crop and adjust some sliders for exposure, highlights, shadows and color. But if they are of a more formal nature I tend to do more and will clean up faces that might have acne or other blemishes. I use a program called Portrait Pro Studio; it does a good job of smoothing skin, lessening wrinkles. It ads...

I part exchanged a couple of cameras so I could acquire the R5 Mk II and today was my first shoot with it. Certainly not disappointed so far!

Can anyone help. My R7 is on v1.4 firmware and there is a 1.5 and a 1.6 version available. So I tried to update following the process outlined by Canon. No Joy. Tried everything, like re -downloading the updates, resetting the camera, removing battery , using a different battery, using a new SD card, reformatting card(several times), have a very good card reader so cannot fault that, checked the download was a good one etc, etc, all to no avail. The process was simpler on DSLR cameras but...

I watched Netflix documentary “buy now the shopping conspiracy” And how companies want things to last 2 or 3 years before needing replacing or technology and consumers think it needs replacement to keep up with latest features. I sort hope cameras at 8/10;years with hobbyist use

Are you ready... :)

I'm getting ready to finally order the RF 100-500mm lens and have been reading old reviews and watching some YT videos just to get up to speed. I saw that there are reports that over time the lens tripod mounting collar stops holding the lens in the position you want, it seems the felt rings on the inside that mate to the lens get compressed and even if you twist the thumb screw tightly the lens tends to not lock into vertical and slips. I read several various posts on forums saying the sent...

Yesterday while doing post processing of a large gigapixel panoramic photo derived from about 495 photos (9 rows x 55 col) I noticed that about 1% of the individual photos had a curious perfectly round blurry spot in the photo. These photos were taken with my R5 and a Canon 100-400mm f/5.6-6.3 zoom lens @300mm. At first I though it was a flaw caused by the stitching software (PTGui). But then I opened several of the photos with the spot in Camera RAW to see if the spots were in the original...

Tim - please remove if not permitted. So - we all know how frustrating it is that the RF rear lens cap will only fit on if you align the line on the cap with the red dot on the lens, after seeing this mod done on line I thought why not try it as the amount of times in the field I have missed a shot due to faffing with the cap on an extender or lens I can confirm THIS WORKS. Look inside the cap and you will see three raised sections / tabs - take a sharp knife (I used box cutter) and...

So November the 14th has been and gone (apparently the main shipping date) and other than a few of the usual youtube videos from pre- release units I have seen nothing. Anyone any the wiser as to when we will see them in the wild so to speak

I have been using the tool since it was released but today I put it to the ultimate test. Here is the original picture. And here the edited photo. I still speechless! I can't believe how well it restored everything behind the water bottle.
