Well yes, common sense dictates that if you're using a very light tripod combined with wind then IS should be left on.

I agree, if those are the only choices and not renting a lens.

Nothing new here.  If in doubt, turn IS off when tripod mounted.  I leave it on when on a monopod.

I thought I answered that - the description says it will trigger other Godox lights, but for anything else it sounds like you need a Godox receiver.  Maybe ask Godox directly.

According to the description, it will trigger other compatible Godox flash, or flash mounted on the Godox X series receiver.  So no, it will not trigger just any studio flash.

Depends a LOT on their budget. There are only a few RF lenses available, and they're quite pricey so one would have to have deep pockets to jump right into Canon FF mirrorless today. It would ...

So nobody else should either? And APS-C is even cheaper.

No.  At present, none of Canon's DSLRs w/o a built-in flash do not have the means to send a signal to an off-camera flash w/o additional equipment. You do need either a transmitter or an RT flash ...

The 7D II was 5 years after the original. No, then it wouldn't be a 5D. I've no doubt Canon will continue to produce APS-C and FF DSLRs side-by-side for some time, along with EF lenses.  Time will ...

Nope, I don't see this happening nor is there any reason for it to happen.

No, once there's an official announcement it won't be long.  There has been no such thing from Canon.

I wonder if this means aluminum tripods (among other things) will be double-taxed.  Aluminum extrusions, which aluminum tripods contain,  from China have already seen additional tariffs.

Seems high.  You can get a factory Canon refurb for $900, which comes with a 1-yr warranty.

Only if the documentation says it's made in China.

What is the source of your information for these tariffs?

Maybe too obvious, but if this is true then cameras imported from China will see a price increase for consumers.

That was a much more drastic change.  The EF lenses are easily adapted to the R mount, and there are still several current bodies using both EF and EF-S mount.  Neither one will be going away ...

Agree, a battery grip is probably the only option.  Nothing wrong with 3rd party either, I've never had any problems (but I'm not a pro shooter either).

It's obvious Canon has gone to a new mount for FF mirrorless.  Pretty much zero chance for a mirrorless EF mount.
