I bought a refurbished R10 on Black Friday 2024 and I've never seen a lower price. Today's Canon refurb deal comes close at $600. https://www.usa.canon.com/shop/p/refurbished-eos-r10-body?type=Refurbished

Like a lot of us, I have several camera bags that I choose from depending on what gear I'm going to shoot with or where I might be going to. I have Lowe Pro backpack that I mostly use for storing gear in my camera closet but I sometimes take it on longer trips when I might be taking a larger amount of gear. It's carry on compliant so it sometimes goes on plane trips. I needed to move it the other day and thought, perhaps I should go through all the pockets as I wasn't sure what might still...

Some friends turned me on to a Rush tribute band named Rash. They put on a terrific show at the bass player's home in Auburn, California. I took more than 3000 photos and am trying to come up with the best 25 or so. Aside from straight-ahead musician photos, I took a few at very low shutter speeds to communicate the energy of the band. Do you have any thoughts on these edits?

Keep it short. Finally getting RP with kit lens from daughter back she borrowed it for a few weeks 14 months ago.... Anyway daughter in law wants to get into low light photography as does a good mate. Budget up to $3000 new or used. Both are gonna borrow RP to see if they want to take plunge into photography then buy. Ive suggested used R6 mark1 with 24/105 f4 I dont think its overkill some may say not a beginner camera talking Australian dollars. Thats about $2100 US dollars.

If anyone wants to take a risk, here's a Canon RF 24-105 at Goodwill. Auction ends May 25. Current bid is $36. Canon's refurbished price is $460. Used prices on EBay hover around $200. https://shopgoodwill.com/item/264787587

Been shooting more shows and it is clear I need a second body. Changing lenses is just too inconvenient. I have an R3. Could not be much happier (2 CF slots would have helped, but....) Its like it was made for me. Balanced with any lens. Cusotmized to fit my hand and mind. I really do not have budget for a second camera and concerned about "wearing" 2 bodies and lenses. So, the choices are: 1. R6 II - Refurb at $1700 is attractive. I'm sure it would do the job, but would I be foolish not...

Pretty rough around the edges. Im a high ISO warrior so use photolab

Dan Hartford from the Lightroom Queen asked members to post suggestions for a new blog. I kicked in a few things which took a bit of time for me to warp may head around using the catalogue system. That goes back to 2011 but I never forgot the few hard lessons and surprises during my first few weeks of navigating it. https://www.danhartfordphoto.com/blog/2026/5/lr031-15-things-new-lrc-users-should-know

Got this email today. I'm also getting a message on the Mac Mini M4 and MB Air M3 that Intel support will soon stop.

About two o'clock this morning I was out minding my own business when... I couldn't get Exposure Simulation to work. Camera - Menu 7 Expo. Simulation has always been set to Enable. I could not view an estimate of the Simulation using settings like: f/2.8 - ISO 51200 - 15mm the screen never displayed and changes...just a dim/dark image, regardless of the settings. I did notice the Exp. SIM was flashing red if memory is correct. I did the usual troubleshooting Power/Battery nothing.

Was checking second hand gear. Banner across bottom something big is coming canon June 17th.

Some good tips on refocusing continually and giving yourself enough real estate. The real estate part I figured out pretty early :) As most know I leave AF on the shutter button which gives me an extra BBF for emergencies. At 11:27 is how I set up my 3rd BBF (AF point selection). I prefer to go from fast SS for shooting BIF to slow SS for static. To get more precise AF modes with Eye Detect "enabled" I set up the M-Fn to cycle through Whole Area, Zone, Single Point and Spot AF. I feel that...

Editing enhancements added (mask edge refinements, colour grading with masks and extended white balance) as explained by Julieanne Kost - Click Here. Phil

R8 firmware update 1.6.0 is available on the USA Canon website. https://www.usa.canon.com/support/p/eos-r8#idReference%3Dadvisories I just completed the update. All seems to be good.

What we want: More telephoto reach. What we have: EOS M6 II (plus three lenses - 32 f/1.4, 11-22, and 18-150) and we also have an RF 100-400 f/5.6-8 (purchased for my RF mount camera - I’ve since purchased the 100-500 and have four other RF lenses. 16, 35, and 85 consumer primes and the 24-240). What we’re pondering: Do we get the EF-EF-M adapter and purchase the Canon EF 70-300 f/4-5.6 IS II USM and use on the M6II? Or keep the RF 100-400 and pick up an R10? With the R10 + RF...

I was so focused on trying to manually focus the images I didn't see the composition. My bad, don't be like me. FD 28mm @f/16 EDIT: 6 image focus stack

Just appear new firmare for R6 mk2. https://www.canon-europe.com/support/consumer/products/cameras/eos-r/eos-r6-mark-ii.html?type=firmware Firmware Version 1.7.0 incorporates the following enhancements and fixes: 1.

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
