How does a Hamster-in-Canon-lens picture exist out there in the world? Please tell me this is Photoshop or HamsterGPT.

Canon RF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 Coming Shortly

- rf 75-300 f/4-5.6
I really liked the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM, the builtin screen was more useful that I had expected. It paired well with the M6II, but it was quite soft at MFD. An RF version of that lens would have been nice, the one Canon announced is, for me, totally uninteresting. I already have the RF100-400, so I'm already covered for a relatively small telephoto zoom.
For other low-effort straight conversions, how about converting the EF-M22 and EF-M32?!?!?

This is not for us, that are enthusiastic with technology, but it will probably be sold bundled with low end cameras, dirt cheap.
I imagine a dual lens kit of the R100, with this, to cost about as much as a R50 with the 18-45mm, or maybe just a few bucks more, but the lower production cost of such a kit will get them more profit.
To be honest, I think this could be done with a few other lenses, some that were good performers and have not been created yet on RF.
Such a conversion is certainly lighter than the original adapter, since it spares two lens bayonets, which would improve the balance with camera bodies.

I know US people are very envious... here in Italy we can buy this masterpiece for as little as 320 Eur, VAT (and tariffs) included.

Perfect for me - I'm already losing my mind!Not a good sign, it's already losing its motor!
I'm wondering if Canon USA decided that the Tariffs make it a better solution to recommend that customers choose between buying the adapter and the EF lens, which could already have enough in their warehouses, or buying an rf 100-400, also might be enough there.

I hope it doesn't get much thicker, all the IBIS equiped bodies are at least 1cm thicker than the current R8...

We should buy as many as we can, and sell them to all the avid US customers at an enormous profit!I know US people are very envious... here in Italy we can buy this masterpiece for as little as 320 Eur, VAT (and tariffs) included.

Why didn't they make an RF version of the Canon-EF-70-300mm-f-4-5.6-IS-II-USM instead? This RF version with no IS is going to be very difficult for it's intended market to actually get decent results. Does the R100, R50 and R8 have the feature where you can set the default shutter speed one stop faster? (In the ISO menu) That's what I do with my non IS lenses on my 90D.
I wonder why they are not porting the remaining EF-M lineup?

I could handle it being a bit thicker, like the R50V, but higher and wider would make it unattractive for me. I'm mostly hoping for an R8V with IBIS, I don't care that much about having an EVF, I have an R5II for that2 cm higher, 2 cm wider, 1,5 cm thicker plus IBIS and better EVF: I would immediately buy such an R8 II.

Yeah. Hope not. Or else it will lose the charm of being the lightest full frame.

Hope not. No no. Then I might as well get the R522 cm higher, 2 cm wider, 1,5 cm thicker plus IBIS and better EVF: I would immediately buy such an R8 II.

EVF is a must for me. I use the 100-400 often on it.I could handle it being a bit thicker, like the R50V, but higher and wider would make it unattractive for me. I'm mostly hoping for an R8V with IBIS, I don't care that much about having an EVF, I have an R5II for that

"One size fits all"
Definitely not for cameras!
When Leica started selling their M 240 (FF digital), most Leica users were in deep shock, it was noticeably larger than what they were used to.
But I was very happy, in fact, I prefer using it instead of the "Leica M sized" M 11.
The size of the R5 II is ok. Except with gloves. But the R5 II (with Neewer batteries!) is so good that I just overlook this little drawback.
A great little camera!

It is almost laughable to read the comments from such sophisticated camera enthusiasts! No IS, so it will be almost impossible for people to get decent results!! Yes, I guess the millions of photos taken before IS was even a thing were all crap. Do all you sophisticates even know how to take a photo with a lens without IS? Not really hard. And, yes, this is the cheapest consumer zoom, but I used one for years and have photos I sold using it. I recall renting the mark I version of the EF 70-300 (non-L) and taking comparison shots with the 75-300...and there was not much difference, so I didn't buy the 70-300. What is most amazing to me is how many people are totally ignorant about what most people can afford, and how any lens can take excellent shots. If sharpness is your only criteria, then good for you. Have fun, but don't pretend you know what photography is about for many, if not most people.

I do like that the R8 has no IBIS because it removes wobble and makes the camera less prone to mechanical failure in that regard.

For a R8 mkii version: Please, please just leave the R8 at the current size! Give it a joystick and I will preorder asap. I nearly pulled the trigger on a used R8, but after using it for 20 min in the store, I couldn't get myself to pull the trigger. For me personally, one of the most useful upgrades from the R to the R5 was the joystick. I don´t wanna go back shooting without it...2 cm higher, 2 cm wider, 1,5 cm thicker plus IBIS and better EVF: I would immediately buy such an R8 II.
Since the R10 has one, I have hopes for R8mkii having a joystick as well.
