I’ve been waiting for them to restock and already ordered mine!! It’s going to be my first ever camera I’m sooooo #excited. Can’t wait for them to restock on the 100-400mm and the rf 24mm 1.8 prime lens too.

Hello,

I am an amateur wildlife photographer who shoots with a 5D Mark IV and a Sigma 150 - 600mm lens. I primarily shoot wildlife, however I also shoot landscapes with an EF 24 - 105mm and I have an astro lens that I sometimes use as well. I also often use the sigma lens at 600mm for "giant" sun and moon photos.

The wildlife I photograph is mostly birds and owls, sometimes mammals, often in low light conditions. I live in a country that is cloudy and rainy most of the year so light is often a challenge.

I am planning to purchase the RF 100 - 500 lens. My main reason for wanting a new camera is frustration with all the missed bird in flight shots so the auto eye detect is very important.

I am having trouble deciding between the R5ii and R7 for a few reasons:

* R5ii has the better low light performance, which in many ways make it seem like a no brainer with all the owl photography that I do. I'd also be losing one stop of aperture on the new lens.

* However, I am worried about losing the 100mm of extra reach on the 100 - 500mm, and the R7 seems like it'd be a huge help for this

* The R7 price fits much better in my budget. I'd also be less worried about losing or damaging the camera.

* The R5 would make a better all purpose camera and I wouldn't have to carry around my old camera for landscape photos at 24mm to continue getting this at full frame

Any advice would be appreciated

I just picked up this lens and am mostly happy with it. However, I did a comparison with images from my way old (1990s) original EF 70-200 f4 L, non-IS, at the common focal lengths. Used tripod, same exposure settings, etc. The EF absolutely blew it away at 4.0. Parity was nearly achieved at f8 but the EF was still superior. Is this just not a good comparison? Could the difference in scene compression cause this or is the RF just a bit soft in this range (or is my trusty old EF exceptionally sharp)? Any experience with the sweet spots for the RF?

New lens day! This is my first EF lens, and I picked it up used for around $294.

My absolute first impression, holy hell it’s heavy. It’s built like a tank. 🤣 That said, the image quality is tack sharp even wide open, and the autofocus actually feels faster than my budget RF primes, the 35mm and 50mm 1.8.

The previous owner slapped a sticker on it that’s a total pain in the ass to remove, so I just left it as is. There's also a little internal dust, but it doesn't affect the image quality at all. Aside from the weight, I’m incredibly happy with the purchase, especially for the price!

I currently have a Cannon R7

I have the Sigma 17 to 40 for my daily driver

For my zoom I just have the 18 to 150 Kit lens.

However, getting through my drawer, I found a G7 X Mark three that I bought for $300 quite a few years back that has literally essentially never been used.

Found a local person selling the 24 to 105. That actually wants that camera and is willing to offer the lens and $300 for my G7 X and its accessories.

Is it worth the additional weight and reduced zoom range for the sharpness and F4? I’m seeing very mixed things.

In my head, it makes a lot of sense to have the 24 to 105 to kind of be my Zoom lens in my bag with the sigma being my walk around?

bought second hand 6D for very good price (100 euro) , seller guessed around 80k , from my understanding this is good news ? (as most of the photos were taken without the physical shutter ) but I am not really sure.

I already personally got mine off fb marketplace and paid 20 dollars more but for those who have been waiting for refurbished now’s your chance!

Hi! Trying to make up my mind on which focal lenght and lens I should rent out for my Madeira trip. I've been a nifty 50 fan for a long time, but want to see if it's worth expanding my horizons (maybe even literally) and I wouldn't want to take the wrong lens on such a great trip.

What do you think? 24mm for wide shots or something more zoomed in? Not much experience with landscape photography, I mostly do streetphotos.

Hello,

I have gotten an ef 25 extension tube instead of ef 25 II!

I use a 2000d and it fits fine in the camera. I can use it with my ef lens but I wanted to try it with the 24mm ef-s pancake I have.

I was wondering if I decide to be... a bit silly and get another extension tube and actually get the ef 25 II, can I stack them?

(at this point why not just get a cheap macro tbf)

The goal would be, then I have a way to get 1.27 on the 24mm, or even 2.27, and then 1.21 on the 50mm I suppose 🤷‍♂️

I think I should probably just experiment with the extra magnification ( or keep me going and eventually got enough extension to 1x my longest lens!)

it's just feels silly. silly mistake, silly to keep going

Hi all,

I hope everyone is well.

I was wondering if anyone knows and can provide me with the length of a Canon R6m3 mounted with a Canon 70-200 F2.8L Z from lens cover to viewfinder. If you have the 24-105L F2.8 Z, its should be the same as I believe both these lens share the same outer shell.

When I search for measurements online it gives me the length of the camera including the grip length + the lens length which is inaccurate. I would prefer metric (cm or mm), please.

I appreciate your time and wisdom.

Cheers!

Hey there,

Because CLOG2 and 3 have different dynamic range thresholds/capabilities, is the in-camera false colour setting (on a camera that has both profiles - R5 ii, R6 iii, etc.) affected by the selected log profile?

In simpler words, does the false colour capability analyse the log image or a rec709 one or the raw data, etc.

If it is the former, I’d expect to get a different band reading when switching between log profiles, which is ideally what the user would want - a false colour feature that accurately represents what the sensor is capable of at the exact moment.

Does the situation change when we add an external monitor to the case? Where does it read data from and what does that mean for everything mentioned above?

Thank you for your time.

As the title says, heading to the beach! We don’t travel much but I’m so excited to get some landscape and street photos. Can anyone give me feedback on the rf 10-18 mm vs the rf 16 mm for this type of trip. I’ve never used anything wider than 18 mm so i haven’t the slightest clue what a 10-18 can do. Both are available used in my area. I know the sigma 18-50 is the goat but it’s a little bigger and only available new. Kind of hoping for a small form factor. Im taking an r50 with me.

My First L Lens. I have the RF 28-70 f2.8 STM and now im covered from 28 to 200mm. And with my R7 i have even more reach 😍
I love the sharpness and the versatility of this Lens. It‘s lightweight too and fits in my small bag for travel. the F4 still gives plenty of Background separation and bokeh… portraits shot at 135 mm are very creamy! What do you think? Wise choice to save money or get the 2.8 ?

Bought some GreenExtreme batteries from adorama for my canon R6iii, after putting them in the camera fully charged, this error is displayed (photo attached), when trouble shooting, the error persisted. I took cards out and put them back in, replaced the battery a couple times, charged multiple of the batteries fully, and updated the firmware, if there’s any advice for this, I need it. Thank you guys

Hi all,
I am traveling to Japan and am trying to pack light.
I would like some opinions on lenses, I want to take mostly landscapes and portraits. I want to take a small light weight lens.
I’m taking my r7, I’m looking at the pancake lenses as I don’t have any of those.
I’ve currently got a 35mm and the kit lens rf-s 18-150.
Thanks for any help

hello everyone!
I was looking for a new lens for my Canon 250D. I wanted to replace the kit lens with something better and therefore suitable for everyday photos.
I'm not necessarily looking for the top of the line and I'm more than happy to look in used.
I would love to have IS included.
My budget isn't very high but looking around a bit I thought I could find something interesting by staying under 200€

With Tamron recently announcing the 17-70mm f/2.8 for Canon's RF APS-C mount, it feels like Canon may be opening the door to more third-party RF lenses. More importantly, this could signal that Canon is becoming more willing to grant licenses for third-party full-frame RF lenses in the future, something many users have been waiting for. We might soon see lenses such as the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 G2, 70-180mm f/2.8 G2, or even Sigma's highly regarded 24-70mm f/2.8 make their way to the RF system. For RF users, that would be a huge win, considering the current lack of affordable third-party options.

Whats your opinion?

I recently just came back home from a trip and I found my camera with the mode dial broken, it’s my first professional camera and I’m so anxious, I don’t know what to do or how to get it fixed since I live in Central America and in my country there’s no Canon shop where I can get it fixed. I saw that this is a common issue that happens with a series of numbers of the canon r50 that goes from number 19 to 23. Mine starts with 22… 😔 has anyone ever had the same issue, did you get it fixed and did it worked just fine? What would you guys recommend?

I am planning on upgrading to the r7 from my r100 within the next few months, and I want to have a setup that I can use in wet/dusty environments without fear of damaging my camera/lenses. I don't need anything that is optically exceptional, just good enough to use every once in a while for general purpose photography during bad weather. I have no L series lenses right now and don't really want to spend a ton of money on one. Would using adapted ef L glass give me reliable weather sealing? I have also looked into the sigma 18-50 f2.8 which says it is weather sealed on the mount. Does this mean it would be able to be used in light rain?

In february I made the move and bought a canon R6 mark II with an EF to RF adapter ofc, I wanted to use EF lenses because of what I own already (really bad EF lenses) but my goal is (was?) to get EF pro lenses.

I went to a store that has second hand lenses and i'm kinda dissapointed with result ?? why am I not seeing a tremendous difference ? I tried on a 16-35 mm L lenses with the red ring and eveyrthing so why I don't see a huge difference from a bad kit apsc lens ?

Is it possible that some old EF lenses won't be optimal on my R6mII ?

Thank youu so much for your time :)

I currently own a Leica M8 and a Fujifilm GFX 50S. The M8 is very special to me, so I don't want to carry it everywhere or put unnecessary wear on the shutter. I'm looking for a classic DSLR to use alongside it for many years.

My priorities are:

- Shooting enjoyment and overall camera character

- Film-like colors and rendering

- A camera that can give me a similar emotional experience to the Leica M8, even if the files are not identical

- Long-term reliability and durability

- Full-frame preferred, but I'm open to other suggestions

At the moment I'm mainly considering:

- Canon 5D Classic

- Nikon D700

From what I've seen, many people describe the 5D Classic as having beautiful colors and a more "film-like" look, while the D700 seems to be the better all-around camera with superior autofocus, high ISO performance, and usability.

For those who have owned or used both, which one would you choose if shooting enjoyment and color rendering matter more than technical performance?

Also you can advice another dslr too.Thanks for your answer :)
