Just received:
Just contacted them. The rep told me they are expecting deliveries next week. I am going to be away so they will send it to my local store for click and collect the day after I return.
I was once the Security Program Manager for a program at a major software company and was in charge of planning the security of the product, the processes and the attached global data centers to make sure nobody could attack us successfully. (Not that we couldn't be attacked, that happened thousands of times a day once we went live). Boy, can I sympathize. By the end of that I was analyzing everything in sight for subtle flaws that could indicate that I'd missed something about anything in my life.
I can imagine. I am not the most skilled hacker by any means and tend to frighten people when I show them things. The ones that are truly great are what keep me up at night.
I do not consider myself young, I am almost 50. My issue is I often questioned if it was even taking pictures because of the lack of noise, I just want that audible feedback.
Not even 50 - you are still in your youth. Loads of us here are 20-30+ years older. Change your name to YoungDude. The absence of shutter sound and lack of audible feedback doesn't worry me, but it clearly does you.
More of a preference really, but one that is enough to make me shoot EFC while I was using it to shoot my sports.
Yes, and it will keep tracking the eye when it exits the zone. That can be disabled if needed. That’s for detecting the eyes of your subject, not the eye control AF thingy.
This was recent enough (say, in the last 25 years) when we didn't worry about some guy in his parents' basement. Even then the real threats were major organized crime syndicates and governments doing cyber-warfare. Out-thinking them for deviousness was (and certainly still is) very difficult and, as you pointed out, leads toward a level of thought bordering on clinical paranoia.
You are absolutely correct. I often get asked, especially by parents of traditional students (fresh out of HS) why I teach this course, I tell them there are 2 reasons we offer it, 1 so students can test their security implementations, and 2 the best way to protect from a criminal is to think like a criminal and out criminal them. lol
I’m 37. The silence doesn’t bother me, but I work with human subjects, hearing the shutter sound is confirmation a photo has been taken and they continue to move. They prefer to hear when the photo is taken. So it is a feature I am looking forward to.
I work with life forms other than human that are sometimes scared off by shutter sounds and in other places where silence is important. I appreciate that others either need the sound or are helped by it. But, flexibility and willingness to ignore minor things is a plus in life.
If Canon didn’t give us the ability to have the tally-lamp blink when a shot is taken I don’t know what they were thinking… I don’t care if it’s silent, but I know that fashion photographers have been on about this for a while. I would think they mostly use studio lights that blinks, but perhaps not…
The manual only shows a toggle for it in movie mode: https://cam.start.canon/en/C017/manual/html/UG-03_Shooting-2_0170.html
