Yeap, and the R6 doesn't have a top LCD screen too. I'll definitely wait at least 6 months after release for the price to drop and stabilize.
Don't think it's worth it at RRP.

QUOTE(Dark_Angel85 @ Jul 10 2020, 02:06 PM) Damn, that's true. Wish you the best in your photography ventures. There are occasions I might need to record / stream continuously for more than 35 minutes. I think before you overheat at 30mins, the card will be out of space for 8k recording. I heard 8K recording for 128GB card is <10 minutes. 1TB CFExpress might get you to 30+ mins. I also assume the R6 will be more popular as well. at least on the stills front, it's pretty identical. Really looking forward to the AF reviews especially with those f/11s You seem to hold the 5DIII very closely. Thought that would be sold instead. Of course I won't use 8K. But even at 4K, it still might overheat. For that kinda price, kinda expecting them to overcome the overheating issue. |

My canon eos R front dial was giving me issues. The dial would sometime skip a stop. And might even decrease when I want to increase it. Lucky the use of some contact cleaner solved it completely. I knew my experience in fixing controller drift came in handy. But gotta be careful…. As the contact cleaner will damage the screen if it spills.. tvcat liked this post

QUOTE(Icehart @ Aug 27 2023, 01:22 PM) I see. I got this lens. Very sharp. Just focus maybe not fast enough compared to RF L lens. This is my chain of thought too. I would prefer something wider, maybe the 24mm. I am eyeing the RF35mm lens. But I already have a 35mm sigma f/1.4 art lens (EF)… with a converter. So now, I’m looking at the RF24mm instead. But the rf35mm is about 10% sharper / higher contrast than the rf24mm at the corners… This post has been edited by LegendLee: Aug 30 2023, 11:33 AM |

QUOTE(Loseeker @ Dec 25 2023, 06:51 PM) Oh I see. The reasons why I brought this up again was that I wanted to suggest you to either go for the 24-70 f2.8, 28-70 f2 or the latest 24-105 f2.8 to pair with the R5 instead of 24-105 F4. This is my opinion la, you don't have to agree with me. But for me, as a long time APSC user, one of the main reasons to come to FF is to get something that cannot be accomplished by apsc. I do own the old EF 24-105 f/4 lens. 24-105 F4 full frame is equivalent to apsc as the 16-70 F2.8. I know the exact duplicate of this focal length + the 2.8 aperture doesn't exists yet, but there are very close ones, such as Sigma 18-50 f2.8, Sony 16-55 f2.8, Tamron 17-70 f2.8. I know all these lenses that I've mentioned doesn't exist for RF mount yet. But my point is, if you going to spend so much money on the R5 body, yet getting results that can be accomplished by apsc with much lower cost, why don't you step down to Sony apsc and pick one of those cheaper apsc lenses ? Just the R5 body price alone has enough dough to tapao any sony apsc body + anyone of the afore mentioned apsc lenses. And don't forget that a f2.8 lens is a f2.8 lens, be it apsc, FF or MFT format. So, an f2.8 zoom will gather more light and lower the iso or allow a higher shutter speed setting than a F4 lens on a full frame body. It is true that full frame performs better than a apsc with higher iso setting. But what's the point of paying more money for full frame when you can get similar result with cheaper gear? Again, I have to emphasize, this is my opinion, because I really really don't like F4 zoom. It drive me even more nut when i see people pairing F4 zoom on a Full frame body to save money. If that's the case, why don't they just go for f2.8 zoom on apsc ? right ? I think it was the cheapest L lens back then. Been owning that for over a decade now. Even back then it was never the best choice in any situations. But it was a jack of all trades lens which was great when scouting for locations or on a B-roll camera. Today, the 24-105 F/4 optical design is a bit dated. QUOTE(goldfries @ Sep 1 2023, 02:17 AM) Interesting, didn't notice this. I ended up pulling the trigger for the RF 24mm f/1.8mm rather than the RF 35mmI've tested both RF 24 and 35, they are both similarly built. In the end I didn't buy the 24, I have the RF 35 and RF 16. Basically RF 24 and RF 35 are solid, while RF 16 and RF 50 feels quite weak. I no longer take photos in any freelancing capacity, so my reasoning was a very simple one. It's easier to capture selfies with my wife while travelling hahaha. This post has been edited by LegendLee: Dec 27 2023, 09:07 AM |
