Is it possible to calibrate by myself the internal spirit of my canon eos r? I am asking cause its 2-3 degrees of.

Greetings from germany

Does anyone know how to switch out of this detailed preview screen back to viewing the full image?

Has anyone seen reviews of the new RF 70-200mm f/2.8 Z lens with a 2X Extender? I'm interested in hearing about the autofocus performance and image quality of this setup. If both aspects perform well, I'm considering selling my RF 70-200mm f/2.8 USM and RF 100-500mm lenses, as I often struggle to choose between them when travelling overseas.

I currently have a M50 camera with EF-M 15-45mm, EF-M 55-200mm and a EF-M 32mm lens.
I bought a M50 to be my travel camera due to the size and now I'm planning to buy a R6II to be my main camera for photos, but I have some doubts about EF versus RF lens.
Even EF lens are compatible with both cameras, seems that Canon is investing on RF lens.
Said that, I would like to know your thoughts and advices buying EF versus RF lens.

Hey everyone,

I’m currently looking to replace a rather ancient Canon 20D (definitely time for an upgrade!) and debating between the Canon 90D and the Canon R7.

Initially, I was dead set on upgrading to the 90D—honestly, I saw mirrorless as a bit of a gimmick. But the more I read, the more those “gimmicks” started to sound more and more compelling. I'm especially sold on the live EVF preview, which seems like a killer feature.

And DSLR appears to be a technological dead end, sadly. So now I'm leaning towards the R7.

My main usage would be for travel, but indoor, low light performance is also important (another tick for the R7 over the D90).

I have two main lenses I’ve relied on over the years:

• Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 EX DC (EF-S mount, APS-C only)
• Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DO IS USM (full-frame compatible)

Both of these lenses are 20 years old, so my main question is whether it’s worth keeping these lenses with the Canon adapter on the R7, at least in the short term. I’d like to use them for now, and upgrade them later on, but I don’t want to hold back the performance of a new body too much.

Has anyone used EF/EF-S lenses like these old ones on a camera like the R7? Am I wasting my time even attempting this with lenses so old, or should I just bite the bullet and get the new glass now too?

Thanks, in advance, for any advice.

1. Nikon Z5 with the Z 24-70mm f/4 S and Z 50mm f/1.8 S lenses.

OR

2. Canon R50 with the Sigma 18-50 2.8 and Canon RF 50mm 1.8 lenses.

I hope everyone isn’t biased because I know this is a Canon community🤣

I am struggling to decide which option I want to buy. I want to do portrait and lifestyle photography. I know the Nikon Z5 is full frame, how big of a difference will this make or why is it so much better? Image quality and sharpness is very important to me, will there be a big difference? With the current specials and prices the Canon option is about R10 000 less (South African Rands) that’s why I’m struggling to decide.

Canon 5d mark ii || pictures perfect on camera and when uploaded on computer but when added to Dropbox or file looks really dull and lacks color any tips ?

Looking at grabbing a fun little digital camera to use alongside my main iPhone camera.

Mostly will use for trips but random spot uses here and there. Also something to grab ‘film’ like aesthetic pictures whenever the opportunity presents itself.

These two are in my preferred price range of under $200 on eBay. If you have a different recommendations you can also let me know, but something truly pocket size is something I value.

Which would be better for street photography with moving subjects? Most probably be moving people.

I have powershot sx430 is and ixus 170. I can't usually capture people properly with 170, which has mostly similar specs with sx430. Now, I have the option to buy g9 but I also haven't tried sx430 in street photog yet.

Would g9 be good at street photography as what youtubers said?

I take my photos in c2r on a t7i, the preview of the photo sometimes has better lighting than the actual photo. For example the photo will have the darker lighting conditions I want but then the ai in the camera tries to brighten the photo. This also happens when I upload it to my computer and look at it before it fully loads. Is there a way to keep the lighting of the preview/darker lighting? And for photos already taken is there a way to revert them to the darker lighting?

I Have a Canon EOS 350D and i cant get the photos off, I've asked in here before and someone told me to get a card reader and i did and I'm not sure if the one i got was cheaply made but my pc isn't able to recognise it so i tried the cable that plugs directly into the pc from the camera and my pc is not compatible with it and neither is my mac, sorry for the yap but if anyone has any idea on how i can get them off i would greatly appreciate it.

I finally have some decent money to spend on a new camera. I used to be a wedding photographer, but I was injured in a life-changing way, so now it's just a hobby. Money was a roadblock, so I wasn't able to keep up on gear, and I didn't really look into it much, so now I'm a little lost!

I am upgrading from a T7i. I am looking at the R8 and the R6 Mark II.

I primarily photograph my family, birds, nature scenes. I am the person that takes the "big camera" eveywhere I go. I am looking for crisp images. Good for indoor and low lighting. I usually go handheld.

If I'm being honest, I am rough with my gear and I always forget to bring an extra battery.

I like both cameras. I'm sure either will be a huge upgrade. They seem to have many similarities. Looking at the R8, I like the price. The R6 Mark II has IBIS which I really like, it's weather-sealed, and the better battery life is a nice extra.

Lenses! I prefer zoom and telephoto to prime (I know, this is blasphemy). Suggestions? Probably have about 5000 to spend on lenses alone. If I get a camera with IBIS, do I really need IS lenses?

Thank you everyone!

In the title.
I currently have an old rebel t3 (non i) with a kit lens, and it really sucks. Looking for something that's not too expensive, (1000 CAD), and I don't mind used.
Currently considering the eos r50 mirrorless, eos 850d/t8i
I've seen a t7i on facebook for $400 CAD, don't know if this is worth it

Will be doing a lot of astrophotgraphy, but regular photos as well

I’ve had to use denoise for the first time ever (my first event, I normally just go out and do creative portrait shots) and it keeps leaving these squares in the bottom left corner? It’s probably some obvious setting I’m missing or maybe my drive just isn’t up to par, but I’d love some input!

I'll preface this by saying that if this isn't the appropriate place to post this question, I'm sorry.

I'm a complete beginner and have been looking at several different websites and trying to research what's good for me for a camera but everything is making my head spin and I don't understand all the terms, but I'd like to learn. I need things explained to me like I'm 5.

That being said, I've been looking at canon cameras and was going to get the m50 as that's what a friend has but then I realized that they aren't manufactured anymore if I understood correctly, so I was looking at the r50 but I can't understand if it would be good for my needs or not and I'm seeing a lot of conflicting information, a good amount talking about specific qualities and terms that I can't wrap my head around.

As I don't really understand a lot of the technical terms, it's made trying to figure out what the best camera for me is very difficult, so maybe you guys can help me out? My heart isn't set on anything in particular.

My budget is ideally no more than $900 and I'm hoping to get it around black Friday for a sale. I don't have the money for extra lenses at the moment.

If I'm understanding the types of photography correctly, I like macro photography, landscape, and I'm not sure what taking pictures of my pets doing things would fall under (using my friends camera, I used sport mode). I'd also like to be able to get decent pictures of the moon and maybe stars, something clearer and bigger than the white blob my phone can come up with. Those are what I'd probably focus on, but I think starting out, I'd be fine with one that can do a little bit of everything. I don't intend to take videos.

This is somewhat of a more educated follow-up to a previous post. Despite all the reading I’ve done—including previous similar posts here on Reddit—I could really use some advice from people with experience regarding the bodies and lenses identified in the post title.

Background: currently own an 80D and some basic ef-s lenses. I’m just a hobbyist, but I’m Taking classes and gaining some experience I hope to leverage into doing some paid gigs (probably basic grad photos and other similar events due to demand). Primary use cases are (generally in order) portraits, wildlife, landscape, city/architecture.

I’ve read a ton on the three bodies, so I have some idea of their comparative pros and cons but I really just can’t decide on the right lens/body kit for my budget and uses. Big decision is really full frame vs crop sensor. In my current work, I’m really struggling to capture the detail and intensity (light/shadow contrast) in my photos in lowlight situations and am really tempted to lean into an R6 refurb over the R7. Maybe start with an r8?

Despite that, R7 with the kit lens is my current lean due to the price and high quality. If this is the right choice, should I get the kit lens, the Sigma 18-50 f/2.8, or the rf 24-105 f4L. Are there overlaps between these lenses that make one/two more or less redundant? Looking to be all in for less than US$3000.

In general, I’m wrestling with the most effective and broadly applicable combo out of these three bodies and lenses.

Thanks in advance. This sub has proven invaluable to my photography journey!

I just got a PowerShot G7 X Mark II. The * option appears on the screen in aperture priority, shutter speed priority, etc. modes and I don't fully understand what it does. When ISO is set to Auto, tapping it seems to change the ISO, but when I do change the ISO manually, pressing it doesn't do anything anymore. Also, when my flash is out, tapping the button causes the flash to go off sometimes.

What does it all mean?!

My FIL is letting me use his spare EOS 50D and it came with a first gen. EF 24-70mm f 2.8 L USM. The camera probably sat unused for around 10 years and within a week of using it, I got the dreaded "Err 01" which I believe is due to a weak ribbon cable in the lens. I've been looking for options to repair this 22-year-old lens, but I think I might be better off getting something else.

Is the Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 decent and would it need some adapter? Would I be okay getting one used for $350 or is it worth getting new for $600? I felt the 24-70mm was quite heavy. I'm looking to get back into photography, but am not expecting the need for a $1000+ lens in the immediate future.

Currently using the R7 with a 100-400 mk2 and 1.4x iii teleconverter. Mainly shoot birds but the lowlight performance while under tree cover is subsatifactory. Wondering if it would be best to upgrade to a better camera like an R5 mk i/ii or a diffrent lens? Thanks for any help.

Anyone using a PD Capture Clip on an R50? I'm wondering: if the plate will block the battery door, and if the plate is compatible with 3 Legged Thing Airhead Neo 2.0? Thanks in advance.

I’ve been using my R50 for a year as an entryway into learning photography and videography but I’ve been limited in what I can shoot by the lens that came with the body.

Currently using the RF-S 18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM Lens but I’m looking for something with a longer zoom to create more depth of field in my shots? I’ve read because it’s a small body camera I’m limited to what I can buy? Is that true or can I get an adapter to experiment with other lenses?

FYI the numbers in the lens descriptions make no sense to me so go easy on me 🙏

I’m looking for some intro photography and am looking at a Canon T2i paired with a Tamron 100-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di VC USD lens. I’m curious if the camera body is too old and I should swap it for something like a T5i and maybe a less-expensive 300mm lens.

Here are some details about what I’m looking for:

• I’m currently shooting with a garage sale PowerShot SX100, so I think any DSLR will be an upgrade in terms of image quality
• Primarily for wildlife photography so prioritizing focal length
• Budget is a big factor, and this setup is within what I can afford right now

Is the T2i still capable enough, or should I save up for a newer camera body? Any insights would be much appreciated!

Busy parents Looking to make the switch from our Rebel T3. Not sure which to go with. It would be used for a busy family to shoot little kids, sports, family & travel. I like photography as a hobby but mostly family oriented right now. Would like something that would last awhile as kids grow. Looking for something easy to use that isn’t complicated because trying to get kids to stay still is hard enough. I have small hands and actually preferred the smaller grip but not sure if the R50 will be quick enough. Thoughts?

Since years I've been on the lookout for an RF 100-500. It's always crossed my mind but I could never justify it to myself. I own an EF 100-400 mark 2 for wildlife and hobby purposes only and a 70-200 F4L mark 2 for business purposes. Besides that I'm using an RF 24-105 F4L, an EF 16-35 F4L and 85mm + 50mm F1.4 primes.

Recently it got me thinking I might want to sell the EF 100-400 and EF 70-200 and just go for the 100-500. The 24-105 already covers everything under 100mm and the 100-500 would basically complement that extra range perfectly, making my needs for 2 extra lenses (1 solely for business and 1 solely for hobby) obsolete. Somehow it feels easier to justify having 1 lens which I'd use more and being native RF as well. And it makes for a smaller, more versatile kit. The biggest downside would be light lost and not having a fixed F4 aperture. But with the newer RF camera's higher ISO isn't a huge deal anymore (hence why I got mostly F4 lenses).

Anyway I was wondering if some of you here use the 100-500 for business yourself. I know the general consensus is: 70-200 business and 100-500 wildlife, safari and travel. Still the 100-500 is amazing quality, fast focusing and very sharp so I'm thinking, why not? Would it be a weird idea?

Anyway, I'd love to hear your opinion on this topic.

This would be my first camera & lens. The camera comes with a 18-45mm lens which I haven’t read great things about.

I was hoping I could get some feedback. How is this for a first purchase? Are there other cameras I should be considering? What are the pros & cons?

This is at the absolute top of my budget fyi.

I’ve been using my schools FX30 for a long time to shoot video and the a6000 for photo, however, i think it’s time that i finally got my own camera after getting a stable job and saving up around 2000$

although id like for this comparison to be focused just on the video output? disregarding the features that lumix has like anamorphic de squeeze and open gate .. which camera produces better video that is easier to color grade and work with?
