Canon EOS R5 Coming in 2020

February 13, 2020 By Eric Reagan

Alongside the new Canon Rebel T8i, we also received news that the Canon EOS R5 full-frame mirrorless camera will be out later this year. Canon says the R5 will capture 8K video and will 20fps with a silent shutter and 12fps with the mechanical shutter. It will also feature in-body image stabilization – a first for the Canon EOS line.

In addition to the R5, Canon also announced the development of seven new RF lenses and two RF extenders due out in 2020, including the new RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1 L IS USM lens.

If you’re going to be at WPPI later this month, you can catch the EOS R5 on display at the Canon booth.

I love what Canon is doing with the EOS R product line and I’m looking forward to seeing the R5 and the lens line built out.

Full details in the press release below. [Read more…]

Review: Vello ShutterBoss II Timer Remote for Canon EOS R & Rebel Series

March 5, 2019 By Eric Reagan

The Canon EOS R is a pretty great camera but it’s missing a couple of amenities. The built-in time-lapse movie mode is great if you want to have a finished 4K timelapse out of the camera as a video file. If you want to capture still images for later editing and assembly, however, you are out of luck with the in-camera options. [Read more…]

Updates on Sigma Lens Compatibility with the Canon EOS R

January 18, 2019 By Eric Reagan

Sigma has released new information regarding compatibility of its lenses with the Canon EOS R.

I’ve posted the entire statement below; however, I wanted to note a little bit of anecdotal evidence on the topic. I’m currently testing the EOS R and have used it with the base EF adapter and Sigma lenses in my normal operating manner. Even with 15-year-old Sigma lenses, my results have been just fine. There may be some edge-case uses that I haven’t attempted yet that end up throwing me for a loop – but so far, so good.

Read on for the full compatibility notice from Sigma below. [Read more…]

September 17, 2018 By Eric Reagan

Canon EOS R w/ Canon Extender EF 2X III and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM Lens

After the news of the Canon EOS R’s announcement settled, I kept coming back to a few of the features. I think it is pretty special in some key ways. The most striking advancement in my eyes is the ability to autofocus at f/11. [Read more…]
