I don't think it is really a hobbyist's camera, not that some won't go for it. I would think that a hobyest would be looking for some more of an all-a-rounder like the R5 which does many things ...

.... and my RF 100mm 2.8 L Macro.

...that the R3 is being tested ahead of its official release.  One would hope... right? :-)

It does not look like DxO Photo Lab has any DAM capabilities which is what I like about LR. Is it practical to integrate the DxO RAW program into a LR workflow? Has anyone tried that?

There you go.  Perhaps Canon want to make AP regret choosing Sony?

Canon hasn't had too many Clunk/Thuds.  It looks like this camera may be made for the PJ crowd.  Seems to me that 24 MP is pretty ideal for that application especially if other things measure up.

Yep.  Seems to be working :-).

I suspect it is part of the build up to the announcement.  They want to build the interest and anticipation by announcing some of the specs but hold a few back so people will tune in on ...

That doesn't quite make sense. What determines how many sensor chips can fit on a wafer is the chip dimensions (fixed for FF sensors) and the wafer size -- which is probably also fixed since they ...

Apparently some of those Nacho Dorito's chips can be quite valuable: Doritos offers a 13-year-old girl $20,000 as a reward for discovering a rare 'puffy' chip and listing it on eBay (yahoo.com)

I am probably not going to buy it.  At least not until I give Topaz a try. Thanks to everyone for the comments and help.

EVGA GEFORCE 2080 Super  -- Supports OpenGL 4.6 8GB onboard GDDR6 Ram.  Again looks to be better than their recommended.

I looked at that but I am running it on an i9 with 32GB of RAM -- should be enough, I would think. This is in excess of their recommendations.  Vid Card is a GFORCE 2060.

Good point.  I did test to make sure that it could be done.  Thanks for posting the crops and the other image.  Looks like these guys still have some work to do. Yep, that is exactly what I am ...

They sent me a link to an update this morning which I installed. All the same issues seem to be present. I tried it stand alone and while that seems to be better, the edge noise is still there. Lat ...

It is surprising that they can't figure out how to do that -- everyone else seems to have been able to do it (Nik Tools, for example).

I noticed that as well and I did raise a help ticket.  I haven't heard back yet. There seem to be some other strange things going on with DNG files as well like not preserving the edits that ...

Here is another one, there is a stripe of unmitigated noise pretty much all the way around the photo but it is particularly prominent in the RH side. You have to zoom in to see it bit it is quite ...

I installed their 14 day trial into LR Classic CC (OS: Windows 10). At first I was pretty impressed with the noise reduction until I looked closely at the generated photos. In every output mode i ...

Well, looks like I'll be lugging the RF 15-35 2.8L for a while then.
