And I could easily argue the point, why not use the fail-safe if it's there? I could easily pit M against Fv and make a solid case that M is totally unnecessary on a camera equipped with Fv and essentially makes M obsolete on such a camera. It's a game changer, not unlike P mode was on my AE-1 in 1979. It's fine if someone doesn't use it, but to dismiss it as insignificant would be a mistake for most non-pro camera users (And I would argue even working professionals but I'm making a point.).

Thank you for the link, I'm going to read more on Fv!

what kind of lighting did you use?

Detroit for sure.

I'm a little slow on the uptake sometimes... the answer was obvious!

This weekend i finally had a chance to shoot some sports, although it's figureskating and it's indoors i still took the opportunity to test the EOS R and my lenses. Here are two samples, one shot with the 400/2.8 and the other with the 135/2.0. It was challenging and quite different shooting sports with this camera, it's doable but not recommended. It kept dropping the target all the time which forced me to do constant refocusing and reacquiring the targets again, it was a annoyance. However once the R locked on, it nailed the shot very nicely.

I shot some pics at the Chinese New Year celebrations today. It worked quite well even with the action filled shows.

Another wonderful shot with the "R"

Some more shots from the synchronized figureskating competitions i've been shooting this weekend. Naturally this was a good first opportunity for me to push the EOS R and see if it could handle sports and action photography. I need to get a 'feel' of the camera and it's AF system and this weekend i got a taste of it, some of it tastes great while others gave me a bad taste.

Let me quickly just mention the good stuff and it's the responsiveness of the AF system, the fast tracking, the face and eye tracking even on fast moving subjects like these skaters, the raw image quality is great! the noise levels are low even at high iso's, the single card slot was not an issue.

The bad stuff i noticed were the obvious lag and stuttering between frames in a sequence which was quite annoying, the viewfinder display lag seems bigger than the one on the main display which is why i stuck to shooting using the main display as my viewfinder (weirdness!), the low fps could sometimes be an issue but not most of the time, it was faster and more precise at tracking an locking when enabling, the EOS R loves fast glass, the faster the lens the better is seems to focus.

Anyways, two more photos from today. first one shot with a 15mm fisheye lens and the second one with the Canon 135/2.

Fun shoot with Deanna as she got a gig modeling shoes for a local shoe store.

Rob your butterfly posts are amazing.
Vibrant, colourful, sharp.
Very nice photos
