The newly announced Sigma FE 100-400mm is the better alternative to this old lens.

mferencz: Special feature on R5 just announced. If you shoot 8k for 10 minutes or longer you can put it in a bowl of kernels and pop corn.
Haha, Burning me up inside??? I don’t need an 8k video camera.
My Sony cameras have the ability to record 4K internally (since 2015), and I rarely use that (and I’ve owned a 4K TV since 2015).

Happy Dad,
How much does that 512GB memory card cost again?
Pretty expensive for a 20 minute recording, and that’s if the R5 doesn’t overheat.

Horshack: Be careful Canon - if shipments are delayed too long then those on the pre-order list might have access to independent reviews before their order is fulfilled.
@Thoughts
Canon’s disclosure about the R5 overheating was vague, “Room temperature” varies wherever you are. Unbiased Reviewers and Testers would have tested the overheating times in real use then given full disclosure. I’m sure Canon wanted to keep a lid on that, plus other questionable issues (like rolling shutter performance...).

I used to own the Sony 24-240mm, it had much worse CA at the wide end.
The Tamron is smaller, lighter, faster, and also noticeably sharper across the focal range, the Sony doesn’t even come close.
Personally, 28mm isn’t wide enough for me, but neither is 24mm, I much prefer the 21mm focal length. The Tamron 17-28mm is a perfect travel partner to this lens (I just purchased one) 😉

It's a great lens 👍
I reckon it's gonna be the biggest selling lens this year.
Here's Dustin Abbott's take on it:

Get the Tamron FE 17-28mm f2.8 as well for the perfect "travel" duo/combo 😉

bluevellet: DPReview took so long to finish their review of the EM1 Mark III that Olympus had time to sell its imaging division and the review is still not finished!
:O
Just read the review of the Mark II, there’s minimal difference.
There’s the reason why Olympus failed, they couldn’t improve m4/3 any further.

Panasonic G100 = FAIL
No IBIS in a vlog camera, what were they thinking???

Landscaper1,
You don't know what "most people" have an idea of.
Or what so called "magazine editors" may think.
You're just talking nonsense.

Landscaper1,
Yes, you're right, only "fools" or the "naive" would buy Light's camera product based on their promises. It's just like getting "scammed" 😏
Anyway, thank you for your opinions, duly ignored.

Here's a review worth reading:
https://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/light-l16/light-l16A.HTM
"I don't think I've ever seen a product where the hype was so far removed from the reality of its capabilities"
"Performance-wise, the Light L16 leaves a lot to be desired. The power-on time is excruciatingly slow, taking at least a solid minute or more of holding the power button down until it boots up"
"The big story here, though, is image quality, which is simply disappointing and very inconsistent, particularly considering the L16's hefty pricetag"
"the company's CTO and co-founder claimed DSLRs will be a thing of the past in ten years, but I don't think the L16 is driving any nails into the DSLR coffin"

Tell it to the people that got their cameras that didn't perform as promised 😏

EXkurogane: Starting at 28 instead of 24 again 🙄
My previous prediction turned out to be relatively accurate.
EXKurogane,
"what kind of nonsense are you talking about"

I was thinking the same about your posts 😏

Coomer: Would still prefer Nikons compact 24-200 or Panasonics 20-60. But this will still be an unbeatable standard superzoom when the RRP drops sub $500.
Coomer, I'm not sure where you live (I live in a house) 😏
How many of those manufacturers released updated lenses the following year?

EXkurogane,
Get the Sony FE 24-240mm if 24mm is so important in an "All in one" zoom.
I've never considered a zoom lens that starts at 28mm (or 24mm) as an "All in one" travel solution. In my travels, I've found 24mm not wide enough, so I usually carry a 21mm prime (just right 😉). If I buy this lens, I'll buy the 17-28mm to partner it as a compact/light travel duo/combo. I'm sure plenty of others will consider doing the same.

Lol, so don't buy it.
I'm happy to give up the 4mm to get a more compact and lighter zoom lens for travel purposes. It will partner well with the 17-28mm as a travel duo/combo.

Coomer,
The lens looks like great value at $729, so why wait for a price drop that won't come until demand is exhausted?
Their recent 70-180mm is definitely overpriced though ($2200 Au).
Den
Congratulations Tamron,
I reckon they'll sell like hot cakes, and I reckon sales of the 17-28mm will increase with them too.
