-= Canon EOS R owners unite! Post photos and discuss.

Someone mentioned something about the SD card and that made me rewatch the vid I posted and check comments.

A while back I had placed this card from the camera into a PC running Linux (to just copy the files) and tried to eject the card and for some reason after the copy, the system wouldn't eject the card. It was really odd. I finally just yanked the card from the system.

Maybe the Linux box (was using Manjaro at the time) was doing something? Maybe the card is kinda borked? Maybe I borked the card by pulling it? I was doing a read only function from Linux with the SD card.

Windows didn't have any issues reading it afterwards, not have I seen corrupt files in camera or after copying to a win 10 box.

I think I have another SD card new that I got with my 80d, I can give it a whirl if I keep having problems.

I wonder if checkdisk would work to check for card errors on Windows.

Don't wonder, just do.

Anyhow, back to another picture...love doin' the shoots, dislike retouching the pictures...haha.

Cheers!

I don't recommend using any of the in-built Windows utilities. Try formatting the card in-camera, and if there is still an issue run a low-level format in-camera. If that doesn't work, try the SD memory card formatter from the SD association, and then format the card in-camera before using it. There's a possibility the file system is corrupt on the card.

Here's another. It was a 90 second exposure with a circular polarizer and a 10 stop ND filter.

^^Very nice place, and pic.

One more late night for me, and one final image. This set is done!

Probably fair to call my experience a 'lockup':

I experienced an "Error 2" a few days ago. "Can't access card. Re insert or format"
However the R contradicted itself as when I switched the camera off, I got a window with a rotating progress Icon stating "2 images remaining" which changed to "1 image remaining" and then the camera switched off. (It took about 30 seconds to do this)
It's a Sandisk 128GB / 95MB/S Extreme Pro bought new with the Camera, 5 weeks old.
I did reinsert after the power down and have had no further problems. There were no corrupted or missing images when I got home and checked.

I have had 3 or 4 issues where the R stopped behaving and needed a restart in about 12 months. Symptons varied, I have not bothered trying to isolate the cause.
I have owned 11 Canon DSLRs and the R.
My (bought used) 1DS2 had a problem when it was about 10 years old, was still taking photos but I could not adjust any shooting parameter (eg ISO, shutter speed, aperture). Battery and clock battery removal sorted that. So that was the only issue ever experienced with the 11 DSLRs. The R has had a few, but on average 1 every 3 months and only required removing the battery once.

Great shot!

This one just begs to be processed as a period monochrome, either faded B&W or a sepia toned image . . .

Wowzers. Love it

Here is two shots from a sambacarneval. I shot the whole thing with face/eyetracking and 95 % of the shots were in focus, I'm very impressed.

Welp, beautiful images from this camera, but I'm getting things in order and prepped so things will be ready when I give Canon a ring after work tomorrow. I think my camera is borked and I got a lemon so I think it's going to have to pay a visit to Canon now

Never had to send a camera to Canon, so no idea what to expect. I'm probably screwed since I never fill out the cards. It's got a year of warranty right? And I got the receipt.

I couldn't even get the camera to boot to a menu so I could reset it. Doubt it's the SD card, I'm starting to wonder if it's the shutter curtain or the assembly for the sensor cleaner.

Luckily I do have my 80d and 5dmkii.

Ugh sigh.

The Rangers/Globe Life do not restrict lens size. Their policy is "equipment that might interfere with another guest's enjoyment of the game are prohibited".

I took in my EOS R, 70-300L and 16-35L in a LowePro top loader.

Similarly, I've taken a Sigma 150-500 to the Seattle Mariners any number of times. The security going in do not even bat an eyelash.But if I were to get in the way of the viewers, or hit someone on the head with the lens I would probably be tossed.

But I don't, so I haven't.

I just got my R last week and took it on a quick test trip last weekend to Hearst Castle. I expected to like the camera, but I’m really surprised at how FUN it is to use, and how easy it is to get great images!

The camera hasn't even been out a year. Hard to argue with the warranty claim. I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised at how Canon handles it and how fast it all turns around. It will be interesting to hear you report back on your experience and I'm looking forward to reading it.

Has anyone found an aftermarket hood for the RF35 that gives more protection to the front element and barrel? I'd like to pick one up but not sure if I will without that. Would love something in a normal petal shape.
