This was a surprise. I was checking out Canon accessories and spotted this. I've been using mostly the Slide and the Lite for small lenses for about 8 years and I didn't know this. Must be pretty recent. Canon would have to be pretty confident to endorse that company which still appears to be independent. I've never had a single issue. I changed the anchors after about 5 years even though they showed no wear...

I finally decided to subscribe to EOS Magazine after seeing mention of it here and there. The photos are a brilliant source of inspiration, with useful information such as the aperture, shutter speed, and ISO used for the given conditions. It was refreshing to see the article on Street life featuring a photographer who uses a 5D MK3 and a 60D, so clearly the emphasis is on the photos. But there is a good balance of product reviews and Canon tech information. This season, I hope to find my...

If I'm not mistaken now Firefly is included in your monthly credits. Not sure if 15.2 offered that.

I joined this site to learn more about cameras, photography, composition, etc., but it turns out that there is much, much more. I’ve learned about birds, flowers, plants, architecture, philosophy, art, and more stuff than I can remember. This place is a bargain. Waaaay better than some of the self anointed experts on You Tube I used to watch.

A brand new R6 MK2 arrived this morning. I charged the battery to 100%, green light, formatted the v90 SD card, and updated the firmware to 1.6. All good! The first sign of trouble was attempting to change the time zone after entering date and time - the screen went black. After turning the camera back on, the select a language page was presented, then the page to enter a password. Set! Next came a re-enter password page where entering one number caused the screen to go black. Turn off/turn...

or FOMO. Taking a trip from Oregon to Borrego Springs for a few days and I think I have everything I need. 2 mirrorless camera 5 RF lenses covering 15mm-500mm 4 film lenses (28mm, (2)50mm, and 135mm) 2 film cameras (3 rolls of film Fujifilm Acros 100II and Kodak Ektar 100) 2 remote shutter releases 3 tripods ND filters (3-6-10) CP Skylight filter (for film camera) Red 25A filter 5 batteries for Canon Mirrorless and of course 2 backpacks (26L and 40L)

I'll (hopefully) be upgrading to a Canon R6 III in the next week or 2, for video as much or more than still photography. I Currently have both R8 and R7 (with kit 18-150 as only crop lens). For common sense sake of having a back up camera as well as my partner wanting to learn to shoot I want to keep one of them but I'm having trouble deciding which to sell and which to keep R7 has much better battery life and no over heat issues as well as an actual shutter and feel less toy like, but...

I currently have a Sigma 150-600 Contemporary, which I adapt to my R5 with pretty good results. It’s great for times when I’m at a specific location and usually a monopod, but I’ve been thinking about getting the RF 100-400 as a lighter option to have when hiking with my wife. I know it’s not a super bright lens, but have heard it has pretty good IQ. Seems like with the R5 there would be lots of room to crop when needed. Just wondering if anyone here has that lens with an R5 and what...

When I choose a flexible zone my EOS R5 mark II, and I press the rate button I cannot modify the flexible zone. I cannot find the answer on the internet Thanks in advance for your kind help.

Overall I love the R5 Mk II, but sometimes I just want to kick the camera. I was driving down the padre Island Nat Seashore Sunday and spotted a rare visitor to the area, a Semipalmated Plover. I framed the shot and waited for the "eye finder" to lock onto the birds eye, then I shot a dozen frames. When I was processing the shots I just wanted to scream. You can see the "Focus Point" was clearly on the eye, but the actual focus point was several feet behind the bird in the surf. This is...

I travel quite a bit and I find it disappointing that there is no inbuilt GPS without having to connect via the Canon connect app. Most smartphones have GPS so just why they don't include it is anyone's guess. It requires the phone to be on which I don't want to do because some of the remote treks I do I cannot recharge the phone. Of course some older cell phones don't have GPS anyway I raised this point to them at the photography show at the NEC. The said they would relay the feedback

Raw shooting doest it matter what its set on. Just watched a you tube a guy suggested "neutral" true indication of highlights etc. Sort of a starting point. To be honest ive never changed it from standard. Welcome your thoughts.

I am using the 24-105 F4 with an R5 ii with latest camera firmware. The 2.07 firmware brings the ability to use the focus ring as a control ring. I cannot see how to set this up - I have installed the firmware. Has anyone done this?

Has anyone ever tried Extension Tubes on the RF 24mm F/1.8? All of my other RF lenses, 15-35mm f/2.8, 24-70mm f/2.8, 70-200mm f/2.8, 100-500mm fit the Meike extension tubes, but not the 24mm f/1.8 MACRO. In the mean time, I'll be searching the Internet starting with the Meike website.

I have an R7 and the 100-500L lens that are used for aviation photography. When it's on, the results are beautiful. However, my experience with this combination is that the auto focus results are very inconsistent and highly annoying to say the least. In the same stream of 5 or 6 shots, at least one third to one half will be out of focus. The frame rate is 8 fps, EFCS is selected as is spot AF. This is not my experience at the same settings with my T7i and Canon 7D II using the EF 100-400...

Does anyone have any experience with this company or its NAS products? Good? Bad? Ugly? My QNAP NAS is getting old and I thought it prudent to replace it before it gaaaks. Any insights or suggestions would be most appreciated! Cheers, -- Craig

I did some extensive testing of PureRaw 6. Great product and I almost pressed the buy button. Here is an example of the adjusted workflow. ISO 10000. I did all my normal editing in LrC which included Denoise AI. I then sent it to NoNoise. DXO would have likely did better but this is good enough for my needs. I also prefer the workflow over starting out with a DNG. I'd have to keep it if I used DXO. With NoNoise I can delete the TIFF that comes back from NoNoise if I wish and I still have a...
