You seem to have forgotten that it took Sigma five years to start addressing the Sony FE mount, which Sony is not shy about licensing to lens makers. Compare and contrast with the fact that the RF ...

You know what's on your 5D4's top panel and not the R5? A mode dial. The R's top screen displays the current mode even when powered off. The R5 will most likely do the same thing. Without it, you ...

Well, maybe. But then in Business 102 they give you the case study of Apple, which became one of the world's most valuable companies based on the modus operandi of: "[Insert your favorite old tech ...

Those people need to torch Carl Zeiss before they get on Canon's case. Their "Makro"-Planar has been 1:2 since--er, I don't know, but probably all the way back to when the Germans were fighting ...

With a DSLR you may have a point, but on mirrorless crop mode will fill the entire EVF with the cropped picture, enlarging the subject and making framing and focusing easier. As for cropping during ...

I have the R (as opposed to an order form for an R5 or R6), so the inequality is pretty straightforward for me: IS and small MFD >>> 1/3 stop + a few extra hundred bucks. My plan is to get the RF ...

I don't know, the EF 85mm doesn't look terribly fetching either.

Assuming we take at face value Canon’s marketing speak about animal AF from deep learning, it is not going to come with a firmware update, at least not anything that’s as good as the one on R5. ...

AF tends to make lenses larger, because the AF element needs to be made small and light enough to be driven quickly by a tiny motor, requiring more contortion in the rest of the optics. And then...

One correction: ISO 800 @ F6.3 is ISO 2500 @ F11, so the full frame range is more likely to be between ISO 1600 and ISO 3200. Output from EOS R at ISO 1600 is clean and 3200 is still very good; one...

Canon’s own statements are vague, but third-party press articles suggest that the wireless grip does accept batteries. My goodness that battery grip is expensive, though (MSRP of around US$1000). I...

EOS R actually has exactly the same low-light focusing spec (EV -6 @ F1.2) as R5, and only half a stop behind R6 (EV -6.5), which suggests that it shouldn't lag much the newer bodies in ...

Another data point: the sample images on Canon's web site (in Japan anyway) were shot with EOS R, not R5 or R6. I doubt they'd have done that on a camera with only manual focus!

Canon's official product page is very blunt about the aperture being fixed at F11. It is a surprising choice, but then again, weren't you upset about the fact that F11 was too slow? If that's the ...

@jnd Power banks require a USB connection, but USB ports and cables are usually not weather sealed, not protected against shock, making the camera vulnerable to the element as well as droppage....

Can I bind those three A7 III bodies together and get 45MP stills and 8K video?

No?

Then why is this relevant?

Actually, I think you're wrong about that. Canon's official product pages for the extenders are now up, and they don't say anything about the extenders not working on R or RP.

It would be very weird if they don't work on EOS R, for two reasons. One, people have already reported that F11 and even F13 lenses (F5.6 or F6.3 with 2x teleconverters) work fine on EOS R. Two, ...

Well, actually, Canon officially hasn’t said a word about the R6 even existing, let alone whether it has IBIS. The leaks do suggest the IBIS is there, but we don’t know that for a fact yet.

Although RF mount has a back flange distance 2mm longer than E mount, RF mount is significantly larger, making it pretty much impossible to design an E-RF mount adapter.
