I recently acquired a canon t2i from my dad as well as an efs 17-85 and ef 50mm lenses. I am brand new to photography and trying to learn the basics. Are these good lenses to practice with and still (hopefully) take some decent photos? I’m mostly gonna take photos of random stuff around town until I sus out exposure, but eventually I want to take landscape and wildlife photography. Will these lenses suffice? (I imagine not) If not what do you suggest as a next lense? Blessing him for giving me a free camera and lenses I can budget out a nicer one.

I asked earlier in here about the T7 as an option for a beginner. The feedback I got was that an R50 or R7 was better. I’m interested to get some feedback on whether the R100 is a viable option. Pros and cons. Thanks for all of the help!

Greetings !

I’m working on a small video demo for some acting and i was going to use my Canon R50 to film.

I had a question concerning other powering usage.

My battery isn’t going to last for few hours of filming. I did read about dummy batteries and will probably get one and other ones, but might not be perfect for my situation.

I was wondering, i did read that i could charge my camera with a USB C so is it possible to also simply use a USB C cable connected to a power source without using my battery or will it still use battery life?

Thank you very much and have a nice day !

Hi guys, I’m looking for some opinions on a set up for hiking.

I started with a couple of zoom lenses, but then saw some videos claiming that prime lenses were better so now I have too many lenses and my backpack is getting heavy on these trips.

With the gear that I have, which would be the best set up? Thank you in advance.

16 mm 24 mm 50 mm 85 mm 28-70 mm 70-200 mm

Canon R5

Longtime Canon owner and fan, I had recently been lurking for a nice 5D III body. After some scouring, I couldn't believe what I had stumbled upon. Long story, short - I bought one with less than 10 on its shutter count! It's nicely kept along with a Sigma 24-70mm lens. All of this was a couple hundred than market value. I truly wasn't expecting that such a nice body existed but here I am. As I get older, I appreciate using gear with less fortitude of keeping it nice and shiny. I really just wanted a semi decent body that already had some battle scars so I wouldn't wince while in my own care. Looking at other marketplaces, I could potentially sell this for 40% more than what I paid. Money is not the issue, moreso just having something "too" nice while being out and about. What would you do? Am I overthinking this? (I primarily shoot street, landscapes, nature). This camera would only be used for local excursions.

Hey! I just got an EOS r50 and my husband has a couple old Pentax k lenses. I've seen adapters but none for this specific camera, but I know Canon lenses are meant to be with Canon lenses.

Does this adapter exist?

Wonder which lens is the best combo for traveling? 16mm F2.8 + 24-70mm F2.8 + 70-200mm F2.8 or 16-35mm F2.8 + 50mm F1.8 + 70-200mm F2.8? I usually shoot landscapes and streets

Feel free to let me know other better combo as well.

Hello! I am a beginner photographer. I bought a canon 800D and I am trying to use it for graduation photography. I will also be using it for group pictures when traveling and for landscapes/cityscapes [New York city] Could you please recommend me some lens under the price range of USD 500.

Curious whether you would pay an extra $15/month to have access to premium camera features?

What would those be?

For me, it would have to be something that increases my productivity like auto detect blurry images, or an active equalizer that reduces background noise, or some sort of "assistant" that could pick my best images and start them

I currently have the Canon R10 and I’m looking into buying the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L, I plan on this being my all around lens for street and car, to portrait and landscape. My question is, is there a way to have a ND filter and a polarizer on at the same time? Or is it 1 or the other at once? Maybe a combination of the 2 in 1?

Hello! Since 2016, I’ve been using a T5i with four lenses; EF-S 55-250mm, EF 50mm, EF-S 24mm, and EF-S 18-55mm (though I rarely ever use the last one).

For work, I need to do both videos and photography - night-time events, concerts, landscapes, sports/competitions, nature/animals, kids running around, etc. My T5i just isn’t cutting it.

Which camera do you prefer - R7 or R6 Mark II?

Is the weather sealing good between both? I’m also a bit worried about overheating.

Unfortunately, I don’t have a ton of money for a multiple lenses over $500-1k right now.

So my wife's camera flash has stopped working, and according to Canon it will cost nearly $350 for a replacement flash. Regrettably we can't find another Mark III anywhere since we bought the original in 2020, and we figured a new would be better at this point. Any good camera alternatives?

Hi guys!

First of all, I am a long time Canon user (have owned Canon gear for two decades). I recently bought a used Canon 1D X, lightly used. I have used it for a couple of weeks and now all of a sudden, when taking a photo The camera shuts down with the mirror up and won't fire. I have to reinstall the battery to get it to power back on and when the battery is inserted, the mirror goes down immediately.

Mirror lockup is disabled (and I don't think it would cause the camera to shutdown anyways. Not at least on my 5D).

Any ideas or have you encountered something similar?

I was planning to buy a Canon R8 with the 24-105 f4 and DJI RS4. Now I just noticed that the R8 is not on the official DJI compatibility list of the RS4 but I seem to remember seeing it beeing used in some short clips somewhere. Does anyone here have experience with this combination? Does it work and if it does why is it not officially supported?

I have a Canon T5 that I bought close to a decade ago. The camera is perfectly fine for my needs, although I'm starting to have some issues with it, and I'm considering upgrading. I'm pretty much only using the camera for taking photos of my cars, and doing occasional nighttime photography (I have plenty of my car photos on my page, in case it matters).

I don't need any crazy specs, but would love more megapixels, and 24 seems like it may be the base line these days, which would be fine for my needs. An articulating touchscreen would be nice, and decent low-light autofocus would be great, since what I have now is pretty difficult to work with. And I want to buy new, not used. I also don't ever do vide with that camera, so video specs aren't really relevant for me.

I was sort of thinking about getting a T7I, but I wanted to figure out if I should look into anything different that might be in a similar price ballpark ($500-$700 ish with some wiggle room). I have a few lenses/accessories, so I want to keep it in the family, so to speak.

Thanks in advance!

Came across a listing on eBay for this lens. Claims to be new but without box, comes in "bulk packaging", which appears to just be a plastic wrapping. Its shipping from Korea. What say y'all, legit? https://www.ebay.com/itm/324800037846?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=tzpm-3LrQTy&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Vrms8oELRJa&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I need advice on a starter canon for my daughter. This past year she was the sports photographer on the yearbook staff and she really fell in love with it, so we really want to encourage her to continue. She used the yearbook camera, a canon EOS rebel T6 this year. Another photographer told me that we need to get her something mirrorless. Is the T7 an option, or is there another choice that would be better? New only. Thank you!

I have a Canon R50. Beautiful little beast. Along with RAW and jpeg, there's another image format it supports with the heic extension. I took some valuable photos in that format and it was a real mess trying to find an app that supports this heic extension. Irfan View, Window 11 Photos app, my android phone gallery app, even Adobe Photoshop 2024 couldn't open it. It was really frustrating. I know you can convert these to jpeg inside the camera UI, and that's what I did finally. I wasted an hour on Canon India's website trying to find a way to talk to a Canon tech support guy but stupid website doesn't even have that option upfront. Anyone else know how to deal with that stupid file extension?

I am planning to buy EF 24-105 F4 IS ii for around 300 USD (Used one ofc) I already have EF TO RF adapter so is it good deal or should i wait and invest in some other lens ? I mostly shoot Landscapes, Travel and do Product shoot For Product shoot i use Rf 35mm f1.8 Can some one please help ?

I'm looking for a lens I intend to use for close up work. Primarily for taking product photos of things like shoes, and some timelapses of 3D printing. For 3D printing, a forgiving depth of field would be good. My budget is flexible. I consider myself ameteur-intermediate in photography. Looking to spend less than $1000 unless there's a very compelling case. Thanks!

I'm new to photography and i got a camera (Canon EOS 2000D) about 9 months ago with two lenses. The biggest one (canon zoom lens ef 75-300mm) didn't have any problems until now : it has a hair in it. It appears on all my pictures. I checked, it's not in the Lens (or i didn't see it) and it's not on my camera either. What should i do ?

Hi guys! I do need the firmware update from 1.1.0 to 1.1.1 to installa the modded firmware 400plus. From the Canon official site there's anything. I also wrote their tech support and got a "there is no such 1.1.1 update".

Could someone help me? It would be nice to have a firmware patch to apply from the CF directly. Thanks!

Showcases are back! Every so often, we'll have one of these instead of a LOTW post. They allow for photos taken with a broader range of equipment, but must adhere to a specific theme. Photos taken during any eclipse are welcome, whether from last weekend or years ago. The only requirement is that you were using Canon equipment.

Every user interested in participating may post ONE post of a picture or pictures that meets the showcase theme, with the following rules.

• The Lens of the Week or Showcase will be specified in a sticky post, and as long as that post remains up, it is fair game to submit LOTW or Showcase posts.

• All content must be SFW--no nudes, artistic or otherwise.

• Specify that it is a 'Showcase' post by starting their post with [Showcase] The only equipment restriction is that at least one piece of Canon equipment must have been used (body and/or lens).

• The title must specify the showcase (for example, [Showcase] aurora)

• Please include the rest of the image metadata (shutter speed, aperture, ISO, camera body) in the title, image caption, or comments.

OP must remain active in the thread to discuss your setting and composition choices--abandoned threads will be subject to removal after a reasonable period of no-replies

Additional pictures that meet the theme may be posted in comments in your thread (or in a gallery, once that feature is enabled), but please make your thread a single image and only make a single thread per week. The 'No pictures that just happen to be taken with Canon equipment' rule still applies to non-LOTW post.

Hi. I was really excited when Canon rumors said earlier in the year that RF28mm USM was coming. Then the latest rumors didnt include it anymore. Sad.

Do you guys think it is ever coming? Haha

I find 24mm to be too wide / distorted but 35mm to be already on narrow side. Hence 28mm as an ideal for me.

I would rather an RF native lens but Do you think an EF Sigma lens will work well with RF cameras? Im afraid of slow autofocus / autofocus hunting... And also the weight i guess.

Any alternatives or other suggested setups are welcome!

Last Thursday I finally got the chance to buy the RF 100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM after allocating some savings. I decided to make an account and order directly from Canon USA to eliminate any third party headaches. I’m really excited to get this lens to give me the opportunity to use my mirrorless camera and get a little more reach for basic wildlife. The shipping time is 3-7 days, but after three business days the order is still in the processing phase. Am I being impatient/is this normal for most orders?

Hello there! First of all I’m gonna say English isn’t my first language so there may be some mistakes in my writing. Anyways: I’ve been doing Taekwon-Do for some years now and I’ve going to a lot of events and taking pictures with my phone (I own an Iphone 14 Pro) . But ever since last year I’ve been wanting to take more “professional” photos. My stepdad gave me two cameras that used to be his: the Canon PowerShot SX510 HS and the Canon Digital Rebel Xti (with the kit lens wich is a EFS 18-55mm if I’m not wrong) I can’t afford to buy a newer camera nor a lense at the moment so I definitely have to stick with what I have. So my question is wich one should I use for taking photos? It would be mainly in spaces with low lights/ indoors like gyms and I don’t really need a LOT of zoom since I’m pretty close to the action
