Canon boardroom is looking at investment internal rate of return of any additional investment in a basically declining market called non smart phone digital cameras.  It seems they have put their ...

The continouation of the M is a business decision, not a photographic customer decision especially in a market segment that is not growing.  Canon has to decide where to place its investment to ...

To me it's the detail you get with the better lenses (e.g. womens hair, inside of a flower, et al). Also, the sensor makes a difference on things like the detail of birds feathers, but most people ...

For flash: 1. Either use ettl and adjust flash output or the aperture, I think????  Set camera speed no greater than flash sync. Iso low. f-stop to your liking.  Shutter priority or manual.  Maybe ...

Wait a few weeks and you will get your answer!!!!! My bet is the sensor might or might not be the same but the electronics is different, the software is different, and who knows what else is ...

With the decline of the camera market place overall and Canon's stated strategy of investing less and it seems any additional investment will be in their R system, my take you stick with the M ...

The M5 Mk II is called RP

The other limitation I believe for mirrorless right now is using flash.  My understanding is that on eos cameras and canon flashes, the flash sends out an ir light that the camera sensor uses to ...

Is that true for all mirrorless brands?  Seems to me in sports photography on say a baseball coming toward the photographer or a bird heading toward the photographer that would not be acceptable.  ...

I guess the pre-flash is used for ettl.  But can it be used for af.  In any case for pro wedding photographers who use flash, how do they use a mirrorless camera and flash other than use a lens ...

I know.  Is there a way to get a Canon flash to use the pre-flash to determine af distance on a canon flash? Bp

A lock on what?  Amount of light?  What?

Could be.  But, why the rumours (maybe wrong) of so many pro like new lenses? My speculation is they planned on having higher end R's to match the higher end lenses that are rumoured to be ...

In canon eos cameras and Canon flashes, the flash sends out an IR light that helps the camera sensor determine distance for focusing, I believe?  Since most if not all mirrorless camera sensors ...

I believe???? Canon's mirrorless Cameras (like my M5) are not cross type af and are only sensitive in one direction (up/down I believe) vs most current eos camera which have cross type af ...

I think you nailed it on its head.  This explains why no pro R yet as they have not yet developed or been able to manufacture in quantity a sensor that does qpaf or a substitute.

What pro audience: 1. Landscape 2. Wedding 3. BIF/Sports 4. War zone/international news/street photography 5.  Studio Need high iso/low light Need BIF af tracking What Sony basically covers these ...

"'m not mentioning RP and M5II specifically, what I'm saying M and R series are aimed for different market and they are not competitive product" BP:  If the rumored specs of the RP are close to ...

Here is the physical outward differences, I am not sure with or without battery and certainly without a lens: The R(i)P is 0.5" wider; about the same height; the depth is 0.4" deeper and 2oz  ...

RP as far as the M5II might stand for is R(I)P Bp
