The R uses the same senor as the EOS 5D.4  so image quality is the same. The R has more reliable AF and an EVF. But the R is much less expensive than the 5D.4. Ergonomics is a mixed affair. The ...

HI, I did both. Had the R5 and RF 100-500L. Bought the R7. Compared R5 +1.4x+ 100-500 with R7+100-500. To cut a long stoty short I found autofocus using the R5 more reliable especially in low ...

I was referring to the somewhat relaxed approach by Icelandic authorities to locals and visitors approaching close to and walking on lava fields which can still be quite hot by human standards. Andrew

HI, You will get plenty of suggestions from the very helpful contributors on this forum. Having been to Iceland here is my little contribution. Plan your kit so you do not change lenses, at all, ...

Hi, My practical experience is that the dynamic range issue is less important than some would have you believe. I have recently been reviewing some old pix (RAW) made with a Canon EOS 20D. The ...

HI, For your stated usage just one lens should do the job quite well. Either the RF 24-70 f2.8 L or at a lower price the RF 24-105mm f4 L. Nobody knows when  an R5 Mk2 is coming and if it does what ...

HI, I have both. The 16mm is very sharp in the center right from f2.8. The corners are soft at f2.8 but improve to f5.6 never getting really sharp though. The question is whether this matters. For ...

HI, I find it intriguing that nobody has yet offered a response to your enquiry. Anyway, I will give it a go, having spent considerable time trying to figure out the best shutter type  for each ...

HI, Your EF 24-105mm f4L will do the job just fine on the R5. It has a max magnification of 0.23x which means a figurine about 150mm high will fill the frame. If you want to crop go ahead, the R5 ...

This Youtube presentation by Duade Paton looks quite comprehensive. Not sponsored by Canon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aT1TFLPgHK0 I do not know the presenter but have watched several of his ...

HI, This issue has in fact been raised several times on this forum. For Canon RF mount bodies and lenses 1. The switch on the side of the lens if there is one controls both lens IS and body IBIS. ...

All prices below in Australian dollars with 10% GST paid. With GST and devaluation of the AU dollar against the USD most camera prices have increased markedly in recent times. I was about to hit ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96JDtUgxk4s Makes the R5 look pretty good. Andrew

420-700 I use a LowePro ProTactic TLZ AW2 with the extender on or off and the hood mounted reversed. Don't worry it all works just fine. Andrew

Do I like the R7 for bird photography----NO First problem--The undamped mechanical shutter. This is OK with single shot drive mode if EFCS is used. But with H+, H or even sometimes with medium ...

Follow up to my own post. Today I was using the R7 with RF-S 18-150 mainly for flowers with some focus bracketing in camera. About 900 frames. I got the mystery MF only "mode" several times and ...

My R7 has several times gotten itself into manual focus for no reason I can determine. Turning the AF/MF switch had no effect. I powered down then back and AF function resumed. I was not changing ...

Hi It is many years since the EOS 450D came on the market together with the EF-S series of lenses. In the RF mount  there are more contacts giving better two way communication between camera and ...

Those comments might have been applicable when the camera was on initial release firmware. With FW 1.6 there is a slight freeze after each shot in single shot mode, but as several users have ...

I think you will find that electronic first curtain shutter is the default on the R. Set a slow shutter speed, say 0.5 or 1 sec and press the shutter button. If there is no shutter sound at the ...
