Because they would like some more people to buy the RF 50 f/1.2 and the RF 70-200 f/2.8 first perhaps...and hope that they might also be tempted the the smaller and lighter variants also in due ...

I think the 85 is a very exciting lens. I really hope it has excellent IQ. I'd surely settle for equivalent IQ to the RF 35 - i.e. plenty sharp, decent contrast and nice smooth bokeh with no onion ...

He’s talking about magnification as in maximum magnification for macro purposes.

My goodness that would be a “major” anticlimax if indeed you are correct. I’m not even sure if the interest the rumour has generated would be worth the disappointment it would ultimately generate. ...

Yeah, if the 2x extender is going to work with the RF 100-500 then the body would have to be able to AF at f/14. Would be pretty cool to go to 1000mm with such a compact set up, even at f/14. The ...

I would be truly astounded if that is the “major new feature coming in the EOS R5 for photographers”. It doesn’t seem “major” or “new” or even “for photographers”, and is arguably not even a ...

Yes, fair point, if it could maintain 0.31 (or thereabouts) and eliminate focus breathing that would be even better. That’s another fair point. I would add to it the possibility of compatibility ...

Yeah, will be interesting to see this. The trend towards higher max f/stops from Canon could be an indication that you are correct. Fair point. I have found the IS on the 100-400 ii to be really ...

I will consider it if: (1) IQ is as impressive as the 100-400 L mark ii; and (1) MFD is in the same ballpark as the 100-400 L mark ii; and

Lots of positives here, sky is beautiful and it looks like you preserved the highlights, good pose and expression, and I don't particularly mind the lines...the positioning of your subject ...

Yes, that, or some other technical reason like the additional information from having more AF points helps for dual pixel autofocus.

No worries, I might have misunderstood what you are looking for. That allows you to toggle AE Lock on and off with a button press but each time you turn it on it will lock at a new reading...

AE Lock and Hold should do the trick for you.

Sure you can, it’s the second customisable option. I have it set to mode button as I find it a bit hard to reach the default option. In my C1 mode the record button has its usual function, however, ...

It looks for all the world like a regular dial, like the 5D series rear dials, with no d-pad functionality. On the other hand, you get some additional buttons with the R5 that will partially offset ...

Yeah, though To be fair you can use the four way direction pad to move the AF point in those circumstances, either directly (as I currently have it) or after a press of the AF selection button (I ...

Nope, it’s the button beside the shutter button. Very handy to have instant access to C1. Agreed. I don’t think it’s quite as useless as some people make out (if nothing else a silent tap to turn ...

I can only see a single report online, the one you linked. There may be some others of course but it couldn’t be anything other than a minuscule proportion of the total R bodies out there. Canon ...

You’re very welcome. It’s a handy little technique. Happy selfie snapping!

You can use eye autofocus in conjunction with the Camera Connect App. Use AI Servo and hold down the AF button on your phone to engage/track focus. To take a photo slide your thumb to the right ...
