And just to add to the 0_0 news, Canon EOS R6 rumoured Specifications: 20mp full-frame CMOS sensor IBIS 12fps mechanical and 20fps electronic. 4K @ 60p New battery (Not sure if it’s the same as the EOS R5) June 2020 launch (CR thinksMay announce) Supposably this one is going to be cheaper than the RP

harperdc posted:Probably not much, because of the adapters that are available. quote:5 stops with IBIS alone What I was getting at is that I think the older glass becomes more valuable. The rumoured spec list lists further stop improvements when combined with ILIS. So non-IS or worse than current model IS Canon lenses might become a much better deal when combined with this body. jarlywarly fucked around with this message at 11:32 on Jan 29, 2020 |

The LP-E6N that came with my 80D seems a little tired - getting 350 - 400 with some live view shooting. Is the go to for spares still Wasabi? It looks like Neewer has replacements too and they seem to make decent 3rd party camera stuff.

Finally laid my trusty crusty Rebel XS to rest and bought a real cheap t3i mainly to shoot video Do you guys find it’s worth it to go to magic lantern for shooting video for the extra control options?

I looked around and in the end ended up sucking it up and buying a Canon battery, too many 1* - 5* only reviews on 3rd party ones.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:Finally laid my trusty crusty Rebel XS to rest and bought a real cheap t3i mainly to shoot video Speaking as a T3i user with ML: depends on how hard you're going to push the camera. If you're getting in-camera audio, the extra controls are definitely worth the upgrade, full stop. Beyond that, though, the default video controls on the T3i are mostly fine, but ML does add a bunch of useful features on top of them if you want things like focus peaking, zebra striping, on-screen histograms, intervalometer, rack focus, etc. Actually, now that I look at that list, I'd be more inclined to say go for it anyway. It wouldn't hurt to get used to the default controls first, though. Be aware that, on the T3i, RAW video recording in ML is a bit lacking. You won't be able to get more than a few seconds of video at 720p before it starts overheating. Also, no audio monitoring on the T3i. Not even ML can get around that.

Though I guess the 7D2 is a 20.2mp APS-C sensor and people have been using that just fine for years. Your high res crop (small sensor with FF image projection) and then crop again (lots of pixels for lightroom) for extra reach is gone basically. How much real optical resolution you lose is debatable depending on your lens. jarlywarly fucked around with this message at 19:03 on Jan 31, 2020 |

A FF sensor is always going to be "better" than APS-C because it is physically bigger. The advantages this creates are a bigger image circle out of the lens (better resolution), the light hits a bigger area (less diffraction), better low light performance (due to the light sensing pixels being bigger), and better dynamic range (like half a stop, but it's there). These advantages may be quite small and in the don't-give-a-gently caress category, but it is testable and the differences are there. Yes, with fewer megapixels you won't be able to crop in as much during post and it's a valid concern but that depends on the type of shooting you do.

Hmm, yeah the stuff I shoot the most is landscape, documentary-style shots and wildlife, which all are sort of at odds with each other on the FF/crop argument, though I'm not going to buy two new bodies.

That's why I went with the 80d, it's fast enough for zooming motorbikes and good enough for landscapes. It doesn't excel at anything but it's not bad at anything either. (but I'm really itching to go mirrorless in the next year or so)

Though I guess the 7D2 is a 20.2mp APS-C sensor and people have been using that just fine for years. Really it's a question of density, full frame versus APS-C only matters for framing on a given lens length. If you had the same density you'd just frame wider and crop out the edges to exactly match a high density APS-C result. But getting APS-C density on a full frame size sensor is stupid expensive, and you end up with lower fps due to the computing requirements for that many pixels. ilkhan fucked around with this message at 02:16 on Feb 1, 2020 |

Honestly the 32MP sensor on the m6ii and 90D seems like a great compromise in that you get the additional pixels for landscape along with an apsc crop for that longer apparent reach with wildlife. With such pixel density you will definitely start to see more apparant flaws in the optics your lenses, but sigma's ef-m primes reportedly stand up to the resolution pretty well. If the apsc crop mode on the 42MP a7r is 18MP, you'd need a theoretical ... 75-ish (?) MP FF sensor to match the pixel density of the new Canon apsc sensors. Crazy. They're kind of expensive at launch but once (if) they go down in price a little bit, combined with the great prices on sigma and Canon ef-m and ef-s glass, you're looking at maybe the best value crop sensor system on the market imo.

Canon honestly seems like kind of a bad choice for serious video work. (Purpose-built cinema eos units aside.) So really I guess it'd be: Canon DSLRs seem like kind of a bad choice for serious video work. Except that Canon mirrorless cameras (that aren't cinema eos units) are also a bad choice for serious video work. Although the latest gen M6ii and 90D seem to have much improved HD video quality compared to the 80D era and everything before. Never mind the 4K though. But the dual pixel AF is no joke. In terms of usability rather than video pixel-peeping, it's a killer feature.

Sweet holy mother of jesus how things have changed. 10 years ago, Canon was the practically the ONLY choice for serious video work. 7D and 5Dii were used in The Avengers and I can't how you get more serious than that.

I think it was the dual factors of Canon 1) not developing their new sensors in a way that allowed for the extreme data rate of high-resolution video without bolting on bulky cooling and processing components and 2) keeping what advances they did make segmented off in the Cinema line. Reliable hardware, good ergonomics & UI, and badass video AF were supposed to counterbalance the fact that you got (by the standards of the time) soft, moire-prone sub-par HD video on FF Canon DSLRs (let along APSC) when Sony, Fuji, and Panasonic have been putting out cameras that you don't have to keep away from fine texture patterns and detailed landscape shots when shooting video. I think the 80D is still a real popular vlogging camera but the 'more creative' side of the market has moved on. Not that I wouldn't mothball my X-T2 if you dropped even an old C100 in my lap. Cinema eos is no joke, but everything else they've made (again, save perhaps the M6ii..) is.

Speaking of Canon video again, in regards to the M50, the horrific internal crop that it needs to do 4K is apparently kind of neat in that a lot of C-mount lenses will have a big enough image circle to cover the 4K region of the sensor. So you can put a bunch of cheap & weird but fast & wide lenses on it for video.

So the R5/6 is looking like the real deal? I'm still on Canon but I've been planning on getting a Sony A7III for the past 2 years but if Canon is actually back in the game and can compete with Sony I wouldn't mind staying with them. My biggest fear of switching was getting used to Sony's terrible ergonomics and menu system and I'd be quite happy to get all the features I wanted without dealing with that.

My biggest fear of switching was getting used to Sony's terrible ergonomics and menu system and I'd be quite happy to get all the features I wanted without dealing with that. Pretty much I'll wait for reviews and user experiences etc of course, but using a simple adapter to mount my current collection of EF glass with "native?" performance and getting a doubled up IBIS on my IS glass with Canon menus i'm used too is to strong to resist. Wonder what the sensor is like. I'll give my 80D to my sis.

R5 had the development notice last night. It's pretty much what we had for leaks. 100-500 f/4-7.1. looks like the 100-400 with some extra reach (with extra slow end aperture to match). Wonder if it'll be the same speed at 400. Also 1.4 and 2.0x extenders.
