I may have been wrong about the EOS R3 official announcement date

[Shellbo6901]

The 14-35 was announced at midnight est, so not off for that at least lol

 

[MoonMadness]

Oh well...at least now we can have more fun concentrating on discussing the just newly announced Nikon Zfc

 

[GoldWing]

Haha. No worries. My R5 is still rocking’ for me. I’m honestly waiting for the “R1”; currently work has an R5 and 1Dxiii that are more than enough for promo production while I also rock my personal R5 for my own project outside of work.

Glad to see someone else is waiting for the R1. We wait.........

Maybe a delay means Canon is reconsidering 30 MP. My R5 and 5DS really have me appreciating 45-50 MP and the R5 has me appreciating lots of speedy pixels even more. Yeah, I know, thousands of 30 MP sensors have probably already been run off as have an equal number of Digics, but one can dream.

I don't think the 30mp is official anyway it's only a rumoured spec.
However I doubt that the R3 will have higher than 30mp as it's very much a professional sports camera and high resolution is not beneficial for this

 

[Mr Majestyk]

just get the r5 for more MP. i dont see why people need another high mp camera like the R5 is trash. Of course we want a camera to doit all but right now that isnt realistic. iam fine with a lil less mp with better low light and af.

Ermm stacked sensor for a start is alone why! Yeah R5 is rubbish in low light like the A1.

Can't tell if it is sarcasm or a serious comment, so apologies if I'm misunderstanding your intention but, rubbish? It could be that you're too young to have experienced what real rubbish is, I'm talking almost unusable ISO 800 and cameras topping at ISO 6400 . No current camera is bad in low light, we just have lost perspective of how much technology has evolved in the last 10 years and pretty much expect night vision with 15+ steps of DR. Anyone that complains about current noise levels or camera specs, I'm happy to lend them my beaten Nikon D300 or even better, the D80 with a CCD instead of CMOS. Anything above ISO800 the noise/signal ratio is just noise/noise.

I guess all modern cameras are rubbish in your eyes then. Nothing wrong with that, but I doubt you'll find many people who agree.

In case you actually are making a comment about high MP cameras having poor low light performance here, you actually are wrong. If you properly compare them, that is:

No need for an apology!
What would we do (and lern) without CR? Thank you, Craig!

 

[Skyscraperfan]

Perhaps Tool was really right this time and the chip shortage really forces the postponement of many cameras. That would be a tragedy.

 

[jeffa4444]

To say Canon is stringing it out on the R3 is an understatement. They should either keep completely quiet or release the full details these games serve no purpose.

Well, people that find the results of smartphone computational photography acceptable may agree.

Stacked sensor allows for fast electronic shutter. Fast electronic shutter allows for efficient gathering of light during multiple exposures and combining those multiple exposures by algorithms that are aware of the optical flow.

 

[Skyscraperfan]

For the R1 I would prefer them to suddenly annouce it and it can be ordered immediately afterwards without months of teasing.

The R3 (pre)announcements and eventual availability hopefully create a bit of marketing breathing space for Canon to do just that.

 

[lethiferous]

Had Sony faked out. They announced a firmware release for late tonight..Hopefully to fix the A1 EVF blackout issue and other fixes, before opening ceremonies. If they can fix that one at all.

The ibis delay was fixed for me, as for the EVF blackout it's too early for me to headout, but folks in FB groups have reported it resolved as well.

I'm sorry, I don't understand how your response fits to my post. I was commenting on the notion that the R5 is rubbish in terms of low light performance.

Awwww

I am not in the market for the R3 - 3 reasons: a) the R5 does well for my use cases and b) I am not going backwards with resolution, period... and, most importantly, c) I have scant resources (money) left for photography and they are all tied up in upcoming lenses

But as many I was very curious about the new beast, even if to just get a peek in Canon's future. So here's to hoping the official announcement comes soon regardless.

Happy in any case that Canon is showing so much vitality in the RF space!

The megapixels of the sensor was baked in from the get go. There is no possible way that could be changed now. All the speed of circuitry and the processing is based on how much data is coming down the pipe from the sensor. Putting a bigger senor in at the last minute would be like trying to fly a four person Cessna with 8 people in it.

UpstateNYPhotog... I agree with your Cessna analogy with a one addition... "a four person Cessna with 8 people & NO PROPELLER".

Wait, so some rumors don’t turn out to be facts??

Canon EOS 50D. There, I said it. It had the most horribly noisy sensor that I've ever had on a digital camera (and I had the 10D, which was waaayyyyy better)

Some people might like my Google Pixel pictures better than my EOS R5 pictures when taken handheld in extremely low light.

(Personally, I think they are both rubbish)
