May I do some predictions ?

* Within a few years all mirror DSLRs will be discontinued.
* The 5DMk4 will be replaced by a higher end $4000 EOS 5R and even a top notch $6000 EOS 1R as replacement...

And mounting third party EF or Nikon mount lenses on an EF-RF resp. Nikon FTZ adapter? Will that work ?

Indeed, I saw it on their site. Clip-Filters for Canon Full-Format Cameras 5D Mk II, 5D Mk III and 6D. (5D Mk I will work without LiveView only, the 6D MkII will not work with XL Clip-filters) And ...

Indeed, when using an EF->RF adapter with old lenses (even old Praktica M42 lenses with M42->EF) adapter is still popular.
And astrophotography when mounting a T-ring to EF adapter on a telescope ...

Huh ? You should enable Mirror Lockup. My 6D does not have this problem with mirror lockup and I can use Astronomik XL (OIII or Halpha) filters without problems. So the more enhanced 5D4 should ...

Software cannot violate the laws of physics. More detail requires LIGHT and APERTURE. Phonecams cannot squeeze aperture to lower than f/4 because of diffraction limits for such small sensors. And ...

I tried Starry Landscape Stacker, but the same crappy result. No stars in the corners. Processed with Starry Landscape Stacker. The only option can be a rectilinear to fisheye converter. This ...

Yesterday night it cleared up shortly and I took a simple camera-on-tripod approach. Canon 6D + EF 85mm 1.8 set to 2.5, 48 exposures of only 6 seconds, i.e. without tracking. I used an Astronomik ...

No problem with micro USB cables with my G7Xii. It charging current is 0.48A, regardless which charger (if it can handle 0.48 A obviously). Even my Anker solar charger charges it flawlessly in the ...

EOS 5R as a successor for the 5D4 EOS 1R as a successor for the 1DX The current release is actually an EOS 6 equivalent.

I tried but after selecting a few CR2's and clicking OK, Hugin (version 18.0 on macOS) crashed immediately.

Well, Canon might release an upmarket EOS 1R as a successor to the EOS 1DX with IBIS, particularly for the 2020 Olympics. But what I miss is speedy 5GHz wifi (also missing on the Nikon Zs) on these ...

Well, home TVs have a 16:9 aspect ratio, which matches 3840x2160 and not 4096x2160, the latter being cinema screen resolution. But strange that a FF DSLR has cropped 4K video while compacts or even ...

Well, it is too early to judge. The A7 has some advantages such as non-cropped 4K filming, and with a 3rd party adapter (Sigma, Metabones) it mounts almost any lens, except Canon R or Nikon Z. The ...

And what about 3rd party lenses like Sigma DC, Tokina, Tamron crop lenses ?

Using the Samyang 14, I took 30 frames of 30 seconds each of the MW. but after stacking there is a bad misalignment in the corners. I used both DSS and Siril, but both show very poor results. Whet ...

Because the noise / grain of single exposures will be reduced. This is normal astrophotography use. The noise is reduced by the square root of the number of frames, i.e. 16 frames stacked have ...

A slap in the face of Sony. They used to be the only mirrorless fullframe, but two important players now have FF mirrorless.

Here an image of the MW using 20 frames in RAW of 20 seconds each. Stacked with Deepskystacker and post processed with Photoshop CS2018.

- DPAF - 120fps video - Easier switching to and use of manual focus, this is very clunky. - Better remote control, such as video shooting and accessing all options from a computer or smartphone / ...
