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

I mainly use my R6 when doing outdoor shoots, but for studio, and in this case set up to print on site, it does the job. Lit with Godox lighting, tethered to my laptop and printing with DNP dye-sub printer, with power from my ECOFlow battery generator, I was able to shoot for nearly 5 hours with no power issues or loud generator. Over 25 groups of golfers photographed.

Carwow on youtube just did a nice Porsche comparison video (too bad it's all straight line bs) watch?v=2s7FMPeBAls

I would take whatever model has the best cornering/braking/endu​rance abilities myself!! It's always fun to see power vs. weight vs. real/actual driving skills, but sadly: we're in a society that merely stops at: "well that's fine, but, how much power does it make" <--- Why don't people ever ask how much the car weighs? or how it's geared/final drive ratio? or real world questions about how compliant it will behave over our pridefully poor roads?

Would love to be a Porsche owner someday - but - I think it's going to be Tacoma truck time for me so I can get away from the noise making tourist mobs (why are they so loud these days??? anyone? beuler???)

I thought it was nearly a requirement that Moab residents drive a Wrangler , but I suppose a Tacoma will do. Does not seem to be a sports car kind of town.

I tried to sneak in for a closer photo after the first one, but the heron wasn't in the mood to pose for another photo.

Yes, I agree, nowadays its all about HP numbers which in reality unless you plan on taking most of these performance cars to a track, the number won't do the avg daily driver any good.

Bingo!!! It's more fun to simply buy nicer tires or perhaps a more aggressive alignment or a swaybar setting change - then go find a fun road, memorize it, and enjoy it!! It's more enjoyable to hit a few corners!! That's where the GT3/RS's and even those that start out racing usually are in a Miata or lighterweight/lower hp situation, then work their way up as they understand limits...

No no no - the R isn't a sports camera!

Great stuff!

These look amazing btw...forgot to mention that...

I still need to dig in the manual and figure out how to activate any tracking, I know it's rather rudimentary compared to the R6/5 but - I have been through the 90d "bootcamp" so, I can handle it!
