I can remember only 2 instances: the RF70-200 consistent mis-focus issue and the EF600 shutter-shock issue. I'm still surprised Canon released the 70-200 as it was, you'd think QA would flag a consistent mis-focus on every copy.
Can you elaborate on the RF70-200mm? I haven't heard about it before. Is it the f2.8 or f4?
I'm not sure there's much Canon can do about AI eating into photography any more than they could stop the losses to mobile phones. I don't know what product you think they could offer that would have any effect on that transition.
So how would anyone judge your photography? Or are you the only one allowed to judge everyone else. Tip: if you want to be on a forum long term, don't start by treating everyone who isn't you with absolute contempt. Or maybe it's a smash and grab troll job.
So it was you who made this videoProbably best not to take my Thorium-glass FL 58mm f/1.2 on an air trip. That puppy lights up a Geiger counter quite noticeably.
?:The only things I can think of are emphasis on the differences between what AI and traditional photography can do
Pretty sure he/she/they just post(s) something silly and then disappear(s) also deleting posts/comments. I admit being mildly amused and decided to play a little, but didn't feel as emotionally satisfied as when someone is serious about believing silly things.
No, but I have made the same observation and I have the same lens. It is actually a pretty cool lens for artsy portrait work as it has good low contrast detail even when wide open and the bokeh is good. You just have to be careful with lighting and too much contrast in OOF areas as there is noticeable LOCA. The chart shows the LOCA and the second photo shows that you can make decent pictures with some care in lighting and contrast.So it was you who made this video
And yet there are plenty of examples of technology that became obsolete everywhere else continuing to be used there - eg fax machines.
A few months ago, I needed to fax some medical records here in the US. Apparently, that was the only method for receiving them. I was fortunate that 1) I have a multifunction printer with fax capabilities, 2) a phone jack was located near the printer, and 3) that I still have a landline.
You can send a fax from your computer, but it does kind of defeat the attempt for security the the medical establishment is shooting for. But then, a VOIP phone with jack for a fax machine has a similar loss of security. Nothing IP is secure without serious encryption. In the old days, phone calls were accessible only by the phone company. Now, everything is accessible by both Google and the NSA, not to mention many others. The low tech (but reliable) solution for documents these days is to make a PDF and then Zip it with encryption before sending. That won't keep the NSA out if they are interested, but it discourages the riff raff.
It just boggles my mind that it was necessary at all. I guess it shouldn’t, I used to work for a large pharma company that a decade ago was still collecting clinical trial data manually, transmitting it from sites by fax and then transcribing it into an electronic record for regulatory submission. Most other companies were using third-party electronic solutions by then, but my company’s IT department was very much against “not invented here”.

Actually, the whole company was against not invented here. At one point there was a meeting between the executive leadership and another company’s executive leadership, where our company took the position that we knew better than them how
to manage the logistics of getting clinical trial supplies to various local hospitals, so they should do it our way. The company on the other side of the table was UPS. But we knew more about shipping logistics.
, yet, I suspect the same company is in the mix for making up long unpronounceable names for new drugs.
It’s surprisingly difficult to find a short word that’s easily pronounced in over 100 languages, yet not offensive in any of them.Logistics is kind of a big word
A general comment that the US does seem to be behind other countries when it comes to implementing general technology eg paper checks for payments vs bank transfer.
