I keep getting the urge to buy into the Leica SL system………. And I really cannot think why? ATB, J (Canon EOS R user)

Has anyone tried photographing aircraft in flight with the EOS R3 using subject detection and tracking…….? Just wondering if any of the People, Animals or Vehicles might catch aircraft as well…… most likely Vehicles.?

I ordered one of these, despite being a bit surprised at the price, nearly £70, but then most things Canon are pretty pricey these days…. A word to the wise, it’s not large, it’s huge! Approx 3” across, it obstructs the swing out rear screen when fitted and is obviously intended for...

Well, perhaps unsurprising, there doesn’t seem to be too many D6 owners out there. Nevertheless, looking around the more popular online forums, the topic appears to divide into two main groups; 1. Those who don’t own a D6 and have no intention of ever doing so for reasons ranging from DSLR’s...

Are there enough D6 owners out there to warrant a thread to discuss experience, user tips and tricks, configuration settings, autofocus, good match lenses and the like? ATB, Dr_J

And finally the CPS website appears to be Bacteria to normal......

So now you can add the purchase date, but the serial number is no longer accepted. Canon‘s utterly hopeless CPS website maintenance crew strike again. :dummy:

So checking, one may now login and register products, etc., however, as the date of purchase data field has not been reinstated, no points will be recorded for added products. So coding/sysadmins not even bothered to check their own work - rubbish isn’t it. Bit like designing flagship cameras...

Still not working.... appear to login but no user data available...... Site performance has always been indifferent but this is just rubbish.

Anyone else found themselves unable to log into the CPS website, or if they can login, there are no personal details available? This now appears to have been the case for several days last week and over the weekend. Canon’s response is that they are aware and are ‘working’ on it, so far without...

There are dark mutterings that Canon could/will add animal head/eye af tracking to viewfinder/Liveview to the Mk III with a firmware update which would be fantastic but then again we’ve all heard these stories before..... I have found viewfinder af to be very good at identifying, locking on to...

I can say that the Mk III is a very different beast to the Mk II. Whilst outwardly virtually identical, a good thing, the III has a dramatically improved af system and, as above, behaves as a mirrorless camera in Liveview, the best of both worlds some might say. Viewfinder af tracking is a...

Been testing, OK messing about with, the face and eye detection in Liveview trying to work out if it’s worth getting one of those loupe jobbies that clips on to the body, effectively giving you a mirrorless camera. Anyone else given this a go? Otherwise the 1DX Mk III is everything you’d expect...

Anyone seen this, or have a similar experience? View: https://youtu.be/YPI6OJxKnE8 Sounds like another quality control issue in manufacturing, but appears relatively uncommon.

Still waiting for Canon cashback payment - reasons so far include not enough staff, transfer from abroad, but haven mentioned the global pandemic yet. A delay to prevent the ‘return to retailer’ scam is acceptable, eg Fuji specifically state claims cannot be made until 30 days after the date of...
