There exist some old lenses that have no electronics but are still usable with R5 when a suitable mechanical adaptor was attached. R5 cannot detect its presence and would 'think' there was no lens ...

The benefit for me is huge. I got a wider field of view (eaiser to find my subject) of 1.4x instead 1.6x while enjoying slightly higher resolution (if cropped it slightly to 1.6x)  and the sensor ...

If you are just taking a few photos, then crop in post is better most of the time If you are taking many more photos and your lens don't have the reach, then crop in camera can save you time (no ...

R5 4K60 cropped is oversampled from 5.6K 4K60 FF is not oversampled. (if R5 can do 4K 60HQ, then it can also do 8K60) 4KHQ can only do 30fps - not what the OP was asking. BTW I don't shoot 4KHQ, I ...

Canon introduced EF mount in 1987, it is still selling after 35 years. RF mount was introduced in 2018. Its patents may filed before 2018, (no later than early 2018) because once a product is ...

OP asked if iPhone 14's claimed 48MP sensor can outperform R5's sensor - the answer is definitely no. Actually, its resolution was so low that Apple engineers did not even dare implement 8K video ...

Actually each R5 image pixel is consists of two sub-pixels and usable in dual pixel raw mode and focusing. Obviously, if Canon claimed R5 has 90MP, everybody will say Canon is cheating.

I have the DJI Mini 3 Pro which has a similar 12MP sensor that can do 48MP I can say for sure that its 48MP image quality is way,  way inferior to my R5 in term of true resolution. (Even R5's crop ...

A  communication protocol is actually quite difficult to get a patent issued by the patent office. A patent cannot have prior arts, cannot be obvious and need to be innovative. Just making a ...

Simple reverse engineering is only good for avoiding copyrights infringement. If the method or hardware used was similar to what was described in Canon's patents (and Canon owns tons of patents) ...

Doesn't use any code of Canon only means they does not infringe Canon's copyrights. They may still be infringing their patents. For copyrights, so long as you are not copying, you are not infringing. ...

L-mount and RF mount have the same flange distance, but different inner diameter (RF is a 3.4mm bigger) That means L-mount lens may work optically but probably not making full use of the RF mount. ...

Imagine you are the owner of Tamron or Sigma. If you make EF mount lens, you sell the lens to both EF and RF mount customers. If you make additional RF mount, you can only sell to RF mount users. ...

Just bring down the highlight affects the whole picture Lightroom’s auto sky select just takes a few more seconds to create a mask of the sky, not a lot work but much better results.

Based on your gears, R6 is a better choice if you can afford it. With 70-200 + 100-400 + extender you have more than enough reach to shoot indoor sport. R6's bigger sensor collecting 2.56 times ...

Technically, image shot by R5 in P mode is way better than R, RP and 5D3 Agree that skill is usually more important the camera body. However optics is not always more important than body. I just ...

My skill is above average, good enough to make reasonably good use of a good lens or camera body but definitely not the best yet. I do know a few friends who are beginner level photographers with ...

Honestly, I believe a great photographer can take a lot better photos than me even if he/she was using a consumer grade lens. To compensate my lack of skill, I need better equipment such as a ...

Not exactly true. I have compared DPR RAW file at ISO 100 with ISO L (=50) RAW (shot using the same shutter speed and aperture) and found that ISO L RAW is practically identical to the darker file ...

This kind of sensor actually exists inside some light meters.
