But not vice-versa.  Lens development, at some point in the near future, will be limited to RF lenses.  And they won’t work on EF cameras.

Excellent post.  You make a great point about the new EF lenses.  I think you’re right.  As I’m probably better off purchasing a 1DX Mark 2 (or 3).

While I think that eliminating the mirror is beneficial, to me the major difference is the different mount, and the fact that Canon will sooner or later abandon the EF mount altogether in favor ...

Certainly it makes a practical difference.  I want to own a product that Canon will be supporting with upgrades and new products. Would you purchase a Canon film camera now?  Probably not.  And ...

I’m not sure why the lens would have anything to do with the EVF lag.  The lens just transmits light, and has nothing to do with how fast the sensor transmits images to the viewfinder.  ...unless ...

What you’re proposing is using your equipment in a little microcosm or your own needs. Would a 1DX Mark 2 (and the EF lenses it uses) do everything I’d ever need from now until my death? Probably. ...

And yours. What’s your point?  99.9% or the people on this forum don’t use their cameras to their fullest potential.  I’m simply looking to avoid spending a lot of money purchasing something that ...

A better camera, I’ve found, makes a weaker photographer stronger.  That’s what I need. I shoot a lot of hockey, which is a difficult environment to begin with.

I understand that the image sensor can be placed closer to the rear element of the lens because there’s no mirror to flip up and down But so what?  Why the need to actually move the sensor forward? ...

You’re looking at the topic the wrong way.  Allow me to explain: The mirror is old technology.  In and of itself is not an advantage.  It is merely the best thing mankind could come up with when ...

Thank you, sir.  This is the kind of answer I was looking for.  Again, thank you.

Someone in the late 1800’s once said, “Everything that can be invented has already been invented.” I also read somewhere that Bill Gates once said, “640k ought to be enough for anyone.” Your ...

Eliminating moving parts from devices isn’t a fad.  It’s a well-established, universally accepted mark of technological advancement.  Solid state hard drives in computers are more desirable ...

What Canon is saying here is that they’ll introduce (at some point) a professional grade EOS-R camera.  Of course, this begs the question: what do they consider to be “professional”? In my view, at ...

I read an article saying it could be announced this year.  Who knows. I suspect the 1DX Mark 3 will be a mirrored/shuttered camera like the Mark 2.  But what comes after that?  I suspect no mirror ...

At this time, I am fully invested in Canon.  I have four Canon L-lenses and I’ve been very happy with Canon. I’m not a professional photographer, but I do shoot a lot of sports.  At present, I’m ...
