Has anyone tried EOS R and Canon’s Camera Connect hooked up to a tablet via wifi? When using Remote Live view Shooting, the live image is pixellated on the tablet. I tried on a 7 inch Samsung tablet and a 10 inch Samsung. On a smartphone the live image is smooth and ‘unpixellated’ … my problem is just on tablets. Once the image is clicked and viewed on the tablet, it’s normal again. Has anyone had this problem?

I’ve used it on iPhone and a couple different iPads with no problems. At first it is pixelated, then clears up. My guess is just the transfer rate causes a little delay

I did my first newborn photo shoot and with the R combined with the Sigma 85 1.4 ART, it makes it so easy.

AWESOME! That Sigma on their is fantastic ---

I did a few with the Canon 50 1.8 (Nifty 50) and was having issues getting focused on her eyes, but did manage to get a couple of them. Plus I needed the shorter focal length to shoot overhead with my lighting above her.

These look great! Nice work!

I don't know why people say that Canon ever uses the same sensor from camera to camera. Canon says they never do--they never just take sensors off one assembly line and plop them into two different camera models.

Canon ALWAYS claims "we have made improvements/changes" or "with an entirely new 18MP sensor" but these "new" versions of old sensors rarely (if ever?) have any measurable change in the real world.

They can make all the claims they want, but that 18MP sensor that was in the 7D etc. was in like 12 different models.

...that to put that 18MP sensor into the SL1, or Rebel, they have to alter the pin out, or some other electrical tweek, in my humble opinion does not mean they have come up with a "completely new sensor". It's B.S.

You can go from a Carter Thermoquad in one model, to a trio of Holley 2300 "Six Pack" in another, but it's still a Chrysler 440 c.i. engine. (and frankly, the differences in these "new" sensors are far less considerable than the "Six Pack" variation.)


I don't know what is going on with the EOS-R vs. 5D4 in this regard, but given Canon's track record, them stating "an entirely new sensor" that spec'ed out exactly like the 5D4 sensor, it would be easy to understand why the jaded among us would automatically assume same old same old again. what i NEVER would have thought, and still don't quite believe, is that Canon would have bothered to R.D. an "entirely new design" that performs WORSE than the one they put in the 5D4 3/4 years ago??!!??

Is it possible it's the electronics in the other chips? I just don't get it?

IMHO, the last time it was OBVIOUS, and measurable that a new sensor that seemed like it might be the same, was in fact "an entirely new sensor" was the 6MP CMOS in the 10D, vs. the 6MP CMOS in the 60D.

This guy is new... Anyone know what kind of bird? Similar markings to a Nut Hatch, but much larger, about same size as the female Red Wing Blackbirds

Anyone install the firmware update? Version 1.1.0 is on the Europe site, but not on the US site. Oddly enough, it says the release date was Jan 25th.

https://www.canon-europe.com …/eos-r.aspx?type=firmware

Here’s what update log says:

Firmware changes:
Firmware Version 1.1.0 incorporates the following enhancements and fixes.
1. Support for "continuous shooting" is available when "silent shutter" has been enabled.
2. Corrects a phenomenon in which an error may occur if there is a large number of files in a specific format on the memory card.
3. Corrects a phenomenon in which an error may occur when silent shutter has been enabled.
4. Corrects a phenomenon in which horizontal linear noise may occur when using specific lenses together with certain recording image quality settings.
5. Corrects a phenomenon in which the information displayed in the viewfinder may become abnormal.
