What’s the difference? I‘m starting to get into the hobby and looking for a upgrade allrounder to replace the Kit-Lense.

Is the USM sharper with less distortion? Is it worth the additional cost? Does the 4mm make a difference?

For STM owners: How do you feel about the fact that it doesn’t shoot when collapsed?

hey, it is me again. A Sony user (A7III, A7RIII, A9I) that is heavily invested in E-mount system, but also has a 5DIII with a nifty-fifty lens.

I shoot mostly breakdance, ice hockey and some other sports and found the Sony system completely capable of capturing great images. Hovewer, when a friend was shooting ice hockey in the same arena as I did, his pictures looked way better for some reason. I know all the colors can be edited to your liking, but there is something magical about Canons' colors, cannot deny it.

Recently, an offer for a 1DX II popped up, along with 16-35mm f2.8 MK II, 3 batteries (1 is original) and 2 or 3 64GB cards that it uses. There is no charger included, or card rearder, and the seller is willing to let go off that set for 1000€, or 1200€ with charger. The camera has some marks on the outside, and shutter was replaced at around 480k actuations. Now it's showing 565k.

I am planning to use this camera for breakdance, that ultrawide will come in handy as my currently widest only goes to 24mm. The other usecase for the camera would be getting a 40mm pancake lens for a "run and gun" type of camera. I know pancake lens might seem pointless on such a big body, but I like the look of it.

Is this still worth it and good use, or should I just get ultrawide for E-mount?

For anyone using an m200 when you first search how to remove the random red, white, green, blue pixels on videos and photos they all tell you to use sensor cleaning, but weirdly the M200 doesn't have this, I wasn't aware when I first got this camera and got really bummed out, but for anyone frustrated as I was I finally found a partial fix!

Remove the lens and close it up with the camera body cover, go to the wrench icon, and go through the tabs to find "Reset Camera" choose to "Reset Basic Settings" (this doesn't touch your saved presets or saved settings tabs, just basic settings, I also removed my SD card just in case) wait and turn off your camera, I did this another time just in case and the stuck pixels are still there but a lot less severe (unless your zooming in 100% its not noticeable)!

Hi guys. I'm currently using a Canon 700D with a Godox TT600 flash. And the flash just doesn't work while I'm on live view shooting. It works completely fine when I turn the live view off. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

Due to a bonus from work which I've decided to spend as a treat to myself for the hard work I've put in over the last year, it's far from unlimited. I currently have the RF 100-400mm which I have to say for the money has performed well however due to the area I shoot in more reach would be very welcome. Here are my thoughts on the lenses I've been looking at

• RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1L

The price of these alone makes this a no, realistic expectation of £2000 at least.

I would also like a bit more than an extra 100mm, Performance of the lens however seems to tick all the boxes. Great lens.

• RF 200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM

Size is my main concern here this is a BIG lens, and Im truly not sure I'd use it based on this alone, The Price £1200-£1500 is doable but still more than I'd hoped. Performance seems like a mixed bag on the R7 YouTube mostly thinks it's great, but anecdotally Reddit comments leave me feeling like I'd be disappointed in the results. 

• Both 600mm and 800mm F11

Probably catch a deal on either for £400-£600, Leaning more toward the 600 due to size. F11 is a little scary, I can't help but feel like I'd be better off putting the money I'd spend here towards something properly good.

• Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM SPORT & C version

On paper both these lenses seem like a great fit. However, i have read a lot of comments on how badly these lenses struggle on the R7 both autofocus and sharpness. Feels like a big risk. Probably £600-£1000

Ill also note I'm reading the same things about the equivalent Tameron 150-600mm

• 1.4x converter for my RF 100-400mm

The price alone makes this a total non starter £400-£500

•  EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM II + 1.4x iii

I've consistently read how good this lens is both in general and on the R7 specifically. The only lens that either matches or beats this as far as I can tell is the 100-500. While I'd need to sell my RF 100-400 to afford I'd be replacing it with the same range but a much better lens. Because of the lens, the 1.4x iii converter seems viable here to make this an equivalent of a 225-900mm F8 (I think) Anecdotally, I'm reading fantastic things about this combo. All in if im lucky £1000-£1200.

I think this might be my best option. Am i wrong here? is my thought process sound? are there other lenses I should be looking at? EF 100-400mm L i is missing because I think i could afford the ii and no one seems the think that's an option if the ii already is one.

It’s red, but it doesn’t show up in photos or videos. Anyone know what it is and what caused it?

Hey everyone! I currently use a Canon EOS R100 with the RF 18-150mm and am considering upgrading to the R7 in the future. I’d love to see some sample photos and videos taken with the R7—especially wildlife, landscapes, travel, and architecture.

Also, for those who own the R7, what are your best shooting and setting tips? Anything that really helps with autofocus, video quality, and low-light performance?

Thanks!

Hello everyone!
I shoot concert photography in very low-light venues and currently use a Canon M50 with a 22mm f/2.0 and 50mm f/1.8, but I’m struggling with grainy and blurry shots. I’m considering upgrading to a full-frame camera to improve low-light performance, but I’d like to keep using my EF lenses (if possible). I’m open to used gear recommendations within a reasonable budget (around the same price as what I currently have, let’s say $700 max.), as I don’t do this for a living. On the other hand, I’ve also been considering a lens upgrade. Which lens would you recommend, preferably something brighter than what I have, maybe something around the f/1.4 range?

I don't know if all of this makes sense but in general I am looking for a complete recommendation of gear to improve this situation. I am open for all kind of feedback. If you made it to the end, thank you very much for your time.

Did some jobs with It at private parties, but now i was thinking about doing portraits. The kit lenses suck so i thought about buying FF lenses and mount on the aps-c so that i had good lenses for a new FF Canon body in the future. But seeing that Canon doesn't sell many FF lenses i think i made a stupid decision with It (i already bought a 200€ flash for the parties). Should i buy a new body from another brand or Is the sigma 18-50 F2.8 RF (500€)good enough to start doing portraits and maybe wait to see if Canon Will produce new lenses and maybe buy them used?

Edit: i wanted something Better like an r7 but i could get the r100 for only 200€ and i was in a rush because i got the job of the parties when my old nikon (a shitty DSLR) was broken.

Anyone from Australia here? Have you guys tried sending your camera to canon for repair? how much did it cost? Cheers

Hello! Been considering new lenses lately and stuck on zoom vs prime kit question. I shoot wildlife and use RF 100-400(F5.6-F8) which is doing great. Lately I started with landscape photography and portraits (not in-studio ones). So I want to add more wide lenses into my kit. I use R10 and already have 50(F1.8).

So is it really worth to have RF 24-105 F4 L just because of “L” in it even that I don’t really need 80mm+ and have APS-C or cheaper primes won’t be that bad if we talk only about image quality? (16+35+50)

Don’t really bothered with weather sealing because my R10 doesn’t have one, so more interested in image quality performance, sharpness and aberrations.

Don’t see any comparisons at that point in the Internet so decided to ask here.

Thank you!

So right now I'm using a super budget 1100D for a music video, and I'm thinking if I can invest enough is the c200 a good choice for a music video? I also want a wide-angle lens, Since I love the look of that in music videos and just videography in general. And the C200 is pretty expensive but if I get it would it be able to last me a long time. Is this a longtime investment with this camera?? Any C200 or even C100 owner I would love to hear your feedback on this camera. And also wide angle lens recommendation which isn't completely crazy expensive.

Hi everyone,

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the price of a brand-new Canon R7. I’m currently in Japan, and it seems to be significantly cheaper here than in Australia.

The best price I’ve found so far is $910 USD ($1,483 AUD) for a brand-new R7. I know this is subjective, but do you think this is too good to pass up?

I currently use a Canon R8, which has served me well over the past two years. My lens collection includes: • Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 • Canon RF 24-105mm f/4 • Tamron EF 150-600mm G2

Rather than investing in a new lens, I’m considering adding the R7 as a secondary camera. The 1.6x crop factor would effectively extend the reach of all my lenses, adding versatility to my setup.

What are your thoughts on pairing the R7 as a secondary body alongside the R8? Would you take advantage of this price?

Looking forward to your insights!

Thank you

Hi, I have a canon R7. For the wide end i have a sigma 18-50 f2.8 (for travel) and the canon EF 16-35 f2.8 ii. Im thinking of trading the 16-35 for the sigma 18-35 f1.8 and the sigma 16mm f1.4.

What do you think? Does anybody have experience with both lenses? Thanks!

Hey all,

I currently have a Canon M50 Mark II, a crop sensor 24mp camera. I need to get into wildlife photography. I know it's not a great camera body for wildlife photography, but I have to stick with what I have

I'm thinking of buying a Sigma 150 - 600 Contemporary lens for Canon EF mount, with EF to EF-M adaptor.

The question I have is, will this setup work? Is it possible to get a good background blur/bokeh with this combination?

Hi all,

I'm new to the photography scène. I've bought a Canon 700D with the 18-55mm kitlens from a friend.

I'm looking for an upgrade with this lens: Canon EF-S 55-250mm IS STM

Is this combination okay? Or is there better lenses for this price? I mostly shoot nature and soccer games.

Thanks.

I'm using a Sony as main camera but I have a 200D around because I really like the pictures I get using the grainy B/W creative filter out of the box with no editing needed.

The problem is, each time I turn the camera on, flash is enabled and must be disabled manually. I disabled the flash in M/Av/Tv/P mode in the menu.

I can't find a way to disable flash by default in creative filters, is there a way at all?

I wouldn't mind upgrading to a different model like M50 or R10 that also has creating filters, if I could just turn on and shoot without having to disable the flash manually each time.

Any suggestions?

I have been into photography for around 15 years now and for the last 10 years I have been shooting exclusively on a Canon 6D. I currently shoot landscape, astro and astro-landscapes. My kit consists of the following lenses

• Canon 70-200 F2.8 USM
• Canon 50mm f1/8 ii USM
• Rokinon 14mm f2.8
• Canon 24-105 f4 USM

I have spare batteries, grips, tripods, some flashes etc.

I am considering the change to mirrorless and initially I thought I would sell my entire kit and buy into mirrorless format, that however seems to be like an expensive endeavour.

My question is, with a budget of up to about $2000-2300 AUD, what would be a good mirrorless body to go for? I am happy to shop second-hand or buy refurb gear. Currently R8 and R6ii seem like the best options with the latter sitting a bit outside my budget.

Is it worth keeping my lenses and just buying a mirrorless body with an EF-RF adapter or is it really worth getting the RF lenses? I am happy with most of my lenses, the only thing I would like is probably a 24-70 f2.8 instead of the 24-105 f4 but most of my astro is done using the primes anyway. Is IBIS going to be of much benefit to astro shots or is it similar to lens based IS where you should turn it off for astro?

Been gifted a r6 ii recently and been looking around for a walkaround zoom that won’t break the bank atm, has anyone had any experience with this particular lens on mirrorless that can attest to its quality? Thanks

It seems quite difficult to find a lens with EF mount between 10/18 mm with an aperture equal to or below 1.8. Any suggestions? Budget +- 400€

Folks, I'm building a new kit for a years-long backpacking around the world.

It's been a while since I shot anything (my last gear was pre-mirrorless…), but since this will be a long personal project I'm willing to buy a lot of things from the start.

I expect lots of nature/landscape and street photography, and I'm already settled on getting an R6 and the 70-200mm f4. However, I'm still undecided about these:

• 14-35mm f4 by itself

OR

• 16mm f2.8 plus 24mm f1.4

My rationale is: I loved primes back in the day and I'm thinking that the 24mm can be a great day to day lens for all sorts of street work, and the other two can greatly supplement it for landscape and the odd portrait. And even though I'll be traveling a lot, the 16mm doesn't add anything in size and weight, and the other two are pretty much the same.

What are your thoughts? Is there something I'm missing about the 14-35mm that should make me reconsider it?

Thanks!

Hi Canon community,

My canon R10 has a problem with charging. When I plug a USB-C cable in via. the charging port, the light on the camera turns green, even though the screen says "please change or charge the battery"

I used the regular LP-E17 charger from then on. I put the battery in the camera when it was at 50% just to check if the problem was to do with the battery percentage, and when I put the cable in the battery symbol changes from white to gray instead of charging. The light on the camera did not turn on.

Any help would be really useful, thanks!

hi! i need to replace the internal battey of my canon c100 mk2. i'd love to clean the fan also. anyone has any guide or feedback to share on how to teardown this camera model? i know c200 internal battery is quite easy to reach.

cheers!

I recently thrifted a Canon Powershot SD1100 IS and am having trouble getting photos to appear in the playback menu. I've bought a battery and SD card ("32GB Ultra 100MBs Sandisk SDHC Memory Card") off amazon as the camera didn't come with either items.

Everything is working perfectly except the playback menu. When I take a photo I only see "no image" in the playback menu. This doesn't happen when I take a video as it appears and plays fine inside the menu but I cannot view photos I take.

I am receiving no other errors and again, everything works fine aside from this. My videos still save when I turn the camera off and I'm not getting any specific memory card errors. I've tried to reformat the SD card and reset the camera via the camera's menu but it hasn't solved my issue.

I'm completely new to cameras as this is my first camera so I would appreciate any and all advice.

Thank you.

I currently own a T1i with the EF-S 18-55 kit lens and an EF-S 55-250 1.4-5.6 IS lens. I will primarily use the R10 for landscape and nature photos. I would like to buy two lenses to go with the R10, one for landscapes and a fairly large telephoto lens for wildlife. Budget is around 1000-1500 for both lenses combined. Is this doable? Would there be any reason to keep either of my current lenses and get the adapters? I haven't paid any attention to camera/lens tech in the past decade so I appreciate any input you have.

Edit: Ended up getting the Sigma 10-18 and the Canon 100-400. I also went with the R7 over the R10.

For what I shoot, usually there isn’t a huge point in setting 1/3 of a step. For example, for action in a dark theater, I’m usually switching between 1/100 and 1/400 quickly (fast vs slow scenes), and would prefer 1 step increments to change it in two steps rather than the current six steps. Is this possible? I’m using an R5
