I do like the sharpness of the 400L 5.6

Beautiful! Superb capture!

Can't wait for the weekend so I can leave the house to go shoot something different

Just got the notice that my R7 is ready to ship.
Was wondering what SD cards most of you are using? Had looked at the Sony Tough cards but found them a bit expensive and heard about some of them being a little bit thicker and being difficult to remove.
Have been looking at V90 cards from the usual Sandisk, Kingston. Have noticed some from Delkin Devices, but have no experience with these ones before.

Depends on the video demands for one thing. If you will not be shooting highest quality, you don't need the fastest cards. I don't have recommendations but it gets a required video question out of the way lol...

great angle and colors of this shot

Are these taken with the R7? They are really nice. And at that ISO too! I hope I can get something as sharp someday. Nice job Jeff.

What a great shot!

Thank you for your answer. I should have mentioned that video isn't a priority for me as I'm mainly concerned with stills. Have read some conflicting information saying getting the fastest cards is only important if your focus is on video. While others have stated a V60 card is fine for video but stills need a faster card. For the 30 fps I'd guess

Me neither - but if I want an updated sensor and processing power with magical eye detect & bag of tricks, the offering is FF R3,5,6 at a premium price - or - the 'perceived' sensor downgrade of the smaller, less expensive & non-grippable R7 but with eye-detect and the reach I want.

I have a 5D classic and love its no-frills simplicity & unique colour rendering - and my 7D2 can do it all - but its showing its age vs mirrorless R BIF prowess lol.

This whole conversation would be so much more... err... Animated... if it was in an R5 forum lol. But John's arguments are quite convincing to much of this R7s crowd anyways. Or no one is raising arguments at least.

I don't really get the FF vs APS-C thing either. Canon, Nikon and Sony all concentrated their efforts on FF mirrorless. This despite way more crop sales than FF sales back in mirrored days. I guess they make more money on FF, but why is that? Maybe because they are selling stuff in excess of what folk really need.

APS-C should be able to do everything, one would think, but it doesn't. The format has no L lenses and few native f/1.4 lenses.

Why stop at APS-C? Micro 4/3 is getting little attention compared to the larger formats. This very small format should be very capable. Even tiny phone camera sensors give excellent results, so MFT and crop should be able to do so too if they had top lenses and the necessary features.

But are they listed in DPP, in the info window?

Not in my eos R DDP window...

Noise is even a bigger problem on MFT in my experience. Even with the high end stuff. I tried it, blew a bunch of money and came back to APS-C.

I've used SanDisk Extreme Pro UHS-I cards for many years without a problem. I bought one of their 64G UHS-II V90 card when I preordered the R7. Recently I decided to add more capacity and I bought a 128G ProGrade Digital UHS-II V90 card because it's gotten good reviews and B&H had it for a good price ($128, about $40 less than the SanDisk). Haven't used either one for very long though.

It is no doubt sharper than the 100-400.....Bt a lot in my opinion. BUT...It does not have IS so you need shutter speed to get results....plenty of light and it would b my first choice......My problem with this lens was dusk....ran out of light pretty quick and cant keep shutter speed high enough......Its an outstanding lens but I think the 100-400 is more versatile

Are you talking about version 1 or 2?

At the time I had it, I compared it to my version 1. But I also compared my version 1 to the version 2 100-400....I must of had a sharp copy....I would not upgrade. I could easily better results o=f the version 2 with a few tweaks in LR...wasnt worth it to me

I got a 300 F/2.8 instead.

sold the 400 Prime and the 100-400 to get it.
