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

lol ... I was watching his guy at lunch time... Some people just dont want to give up their way of doing things, He should try setting the MF bar to go through his pic's on the back of the camera.. It works great.

Galah with EOS R / Canon Extender EF x2.0 Mk II \ Canon 100-400 F4.5-5.6 L IS USM Mk II.

Handheld, braced on windowsill.

I am astonished at the image quality with this 800mm F11 combination at 1/160 sec.

Cheers

Dont stop at just one... show us your stuff

That's the thing. When I look at the RF35 mounted on this body, with the coolest looking lens mount I've ever seen, it's hard not to be convinced that this is the future. The RF mount is the future. EF will eventually be the past. The first camera doesn't have to be perfect but the mount and lenses do. They seem to be.

For my shooting needs, I could honestly say the EOS R is so good with the RF and EF lenses, that if Canon never released another body, and just lenses, I could be content for the next 10 years, maybe more. With the exception of wanting a 2nd card slot.

I would never thought the same thing about the 5D mk iii, the 5DS or the 5D mk iv.

Wow!

Couple shots from last weekend...

Wonderful execution on this one!

Hi Jeff

Okay, here are 2 more.

This is Junior. His family (wild Galahs) visited the trees outside our back fence and I managed to grab some 10-15 shots. Of those, I ended up keeping 9 in LR and the 3 posted here are the best of those.

The limiting factor for IQ in this case was the movement of the bird (1/160 sec for 2 of them and 1/200 sec for the other) and hand holding, although the camera was braced against the window sill. I have never had results anything like this when using my 5D Mk IV and the 100-400 with either a x1.4 or x2.0 Extender, so I assume that lack of mirror slap is probably the greatest contributor to the improved IQ.

some lovely shots, sadly for me the price over here for body only is around $3300 without the adaptor

5D4 is available for same price this weekend ($3299 Georges, $3304 Camerawarehouse)

one powerball

Yes, Dave, I've been able to get the 5D4 for the same price as the EOS R for several weeks... If the 5D4 had the flippy screen I would buy it. But as it is, I probably will hold on to the original 7D for a while. When I upgrade to full frame I must buy a new lens, probably 24-105 mm, and maybe it would be better to go for the RF lenses from now on, who knows? Almost got the 6D2 earlier this year, just for the flipscreen, which I really like.

The bottom one, such a lovely photo

Excellent

Really like the RF 35mm. And I've started playing with video a bit as we've been celebrating my daughter's birthday. Honestly with the video stabilization, this camera is the best SLR I've had yet for video. I was shooting with the 24-70 L II - the stabilization ins really impressive! Anyway, here are a couple from the RF 35.

Thats is totally true for 99% of the population including me... but sometimes it would be very nice to be able to stop down a tad

As I explain later, stopping down may actually be necessary for the same DOF; not an option.

Let's not get carried away. Most of any benefit you see in maximum R IQ at the higher ISOs is because you're using a larger sensor area, more pixels in that full image, and of course, you're getting more of the analog resolution of a given lens with the same f-ratio by using a greater percentage of its image circle. If you're viewing at 100% pixel view, you are viewing larger pixels at reduced magnification, an illusion of quality.

The generic benefits are the benefits of using a larger sensor and using a shallower DOF, which isn't always wanted. When you need to stop down for DOF, the FF loses its analog optical advantage with a same-sharpness lens, because now diffraction is the limiting factor, and is the same at the image level with the same DOF and FOV. You now also need 2.56x the ISO on the FF for the same shutter speed. There's no escaping the fact that the generic FF benefit only comes with shallower DOF, when you need a certain shutter speed and are above base ISO. Comparing cameras with different sensor sizes at the same ISO is sometimes a purely academic exercise with no practical basis. The fact is, to do the same thing FOV-wise and DOF-wise, you do not use the same ISO with different sensor sizes.

Then we have focal-length-limited photography. As soon as you start using less than the entire FF sensor area for your final composition, you forfeit its larger-sensor benefits (other than more flexibility in after-the-capture cropping). From all I've seen, a 1.6x crop from the R has less noise in the shadows at low ISOs (although the character is not as good as the 7D2's), but seems to have about the same noise at high ISOs, with greater resolution with the 7D2 and perhaps better noise character. I base this on the fact that DPR's studio comparison favors the 6D (similar to the 5D4) over the R at high ISOs, and I have the 6D, and do not prefer it over the 7D2 for focal-length limited photography at any ISO. I use the 6D only for shallow DOF and wide angle work.

Maybe instead of being glad about not having the 7D2 for ISO 12800, what you should really be glad about was that you were shooting with shallower DOF (made possible by the larger sensor)? Or perhaps you were viewing at 100%, with the illusion of greater subject sharpness and SNR, due to lower sensor area magnification?

I find it funny how there are always people talking about how much better B is than A, and how much better C is than B, and then how much better D is than C, and when you actually measure D vs A, the total difference is less than what was claimed for any one upgrade.
