Considering that the last new Canon DSLR was in Feb 2020--exactly three years ago--you are probably correct. However, I wouldn't be surprised if they do one or two minor bumps that add next to no ...

@The Mad Kiwi You vastly overestimate the effect of the subsidy. The Japanese government subsidy totaled less than $2B spread out among 87 companies, which is nowhere near enough to convince any...

In the long term, China is not a good place for refining silicon, as it is an energy-intensive process and China is not an energy-rich nation (relative to its population). When the downstream...

I was responding to what mbp002 wrote, namely: Now, please go back and read your response. You got the context completely wrong.

Z5 doesn't support a battery grip, isn't weather sealed, and is much bigger and heavier than the RP (675g vs 485g). In other words, it fulfills just about none of the requested features, other ...

You aren't the only one who misread it that way. Now with extra cheesiness!

I've had it with all those "I had it"s!

@ZZT231 Your history is a bit off. Technically, Canon started offering OSPDAF with Rebel T4i (in live view mode) and EOS M back in 2012. You’re forgiven for not remembering that, though, because it...

Uh, thanks. I thought I had posted this on the R forum. Apparently not....

I am half-giddy and half-ashamed to report that I succumbed to GAS over the holidays and got an R5. Look, it wasn't my fault--Canon had a fabulous deal on a refurb unit that made it barely more ...

The $1099 question is, is this optical zoom lens un-sucky enough that it sucks less than "digital zoom" from a simple 9x prime lens?

FWIW, digital zoom on my iPhone 13 Pro works surprisingly...

The biggest difference between 2000 and 2022 is not so much that we have many more configuration items, but that we have choices. For the people who want their camera to Just Work without fiddling...

I still have four lenses in my EF collection. EF 100L has been one of my favorite lenses for close to a decade. I’ll probably keep for as long as it works. I don’t see a need for the RF at all. EF ...

@Malling How would you reconcile your assertion with the fact that Sharp has been taken over by Foxconn; Haier bought out Sanyo’s appliance business; Lenovo absorbed NEC and Fujitsu’s PC...

If Apple does go after Canon’s semiconductor business, they’d probably carve out that business unit from Canon and buy that, instead of buying Canon itself. Almost all of Canon’s corporate value...

The problem with handling a promotion like this as a sale is that Canon can't force retailers to lower prices on the lenses. They'd have to lower the wholesale price and hope the retailers follow ...

@photography-lover "Network effect" in business means that having more users locked into the product actually improves the product's experience, so that the users are encouraged to pick the...

It isn’t just you. It is a dreadful, wretched, repulsive specimen of a camera, so offensive-looking that half of Nikon’s product team were hospitalized from just looking at the prototype. The...

I suspect those two technicians were doing KM repairs on part-time bases anyway. The support was being provided by Kenko Tokina, not Konica Minolta, and KT has a lot of consumer photography...

2011 called, it wants Nikon 1 back.
