I don't quite get this obsession with the word "flagship". I think it's quite clear at the R5 will be Canon's "best" mirrorless camera ever and they are spraying around the word "professional" ...

The vid is a bit basic and doesn't answer my question again, but thanks.

Thanks for the somewhat basic info ;)  Again... can I assume that you feel that some faces don't actually look better depending on the focal length used (within reason!) as no-one can see the ...

Aaah... thank you for the straight reply. I asked the question as I'm interested to see how other people do things so I can learn.  So... can I assume that you feel that some faces don't actually ...

Please can you answer my question without trying to deflect. My ability as a photographer has nothing to do with what I was asking you about your methods. I assume you are only qualified to talk ...

No it wouldn't. It means the photographer would use all the tools at their disposal to make the model look as good as they possibly can within the remit of the job, as I clearly wrote. Refusing to ...

Wouldn't the photographer use all the tools at his/her disposal to make the model look as good as they possibly can within the remit of the job?

It's not really even a rumour. The article mainly asks questions and says "There is a rumour" with no other details. Looks like clickbait.

Hold on! We haven't had endless speculation about the price yet, with some folks seemingly 100% certain their guestimate is correct and anyone who disagrees with them must have their head in the ...

Was talking about the RF, but grey market price.

"Properly" is "as I want to take the photo to achieve the look I want, knowing I've done the best I can". If I want f1.2 or f22 then that's my choice, but if I used f1.8 and thought that f1.2 ...

I think you might mean, and want to say,  "In my opinion" when you say this stuff as I'm sure you're aware that your opinion isn't the only valid one out there. If you don't, you come across as ...

For me, that's the thing about doing something "properly"... it doesn't matter if no-one else knows or notices, as long as I know.

I'm not sure about the USA but, in the UK, a grey/gray market RF85 is about £1800 from a reputable dealer with (non-Canon) warranty.

I bought my 100-400ii 2nd hand when I got my R last June. I absolutely love the lens (and the camera). Although I've never used it on a DSLR it seems to work perfectly on the R. I used it with a ...

The poor Japanese! We can only hope they don't make it available in other countries :-D

At 500mm you would be 1/3 stop better off than at 400mm with the "old setup". Assuming all other things equal you'd also get better performance compared the old setup throughout the range of the lens.

I think you've misunderstood. If it is a stop better then the 2/3 stop penalty at 500mm is negated with 1/3 stop to spare. But as said (and I only used a theoretical 1 stop sensor gain as an ...

I haven't used the video side of my R once and have no real interest in it, so it's all a bit useless to me.

As far as I know, Canon haven't given any specs for the R5 sensor. What if it performs a stop better than current at higher ISO? This is the problem with all this conjecture and speculation... ...
