Well canon has a 800mm f11 lens on a 45mp body. In crop mode it'll give you 1200mm reach at 20mp. That's differentJust wanted to try something different

Bought myself an a6500 few days ago. arriving tomorrow. An upgrade from an a6000. I'm quite excited. Mainly so i can play about with the 120fps video. Not that i'll have any real use for it but its good for a bit of fun. I plan to do a proper A/B against the a6000 for photo purposes so ill be keen to see if theres any improvement. it seems there should be a slight improvement in ISO performance.
Anyway. Im excited!

At 750 and 1000 they aren't exactly expensive lenses.

It sure is, but so is every other high end camera. If you really wanted those FL lenses though the combos aren't expensive.

I want those focal lengths but not those apertures. Still waiting for reviews on how well adapted EF telephotos work on R5.
Also dynamic range.

The r6 uses same sensor and processor as the 1dxiii. Not sure how the r5 will perform but looks like Canon arnt messing about too much.

It doesn’t come close the 20fps only works in live view and it doesn’t have the stacked sensor.
The video guys are now cracking up as well as it overheats very easily.

I’m thinking of selling my Samyang 18mm f2.8, 24mm f2.8, Sony 28mm f2, 28-70mm and Sony Zeiss 35mm f2.8 and getting the 16-35mm f4 instead. I liked the idea of small primes but I just find zooms more handy
The 16-35 f/4 is very ordinary.

Sell most of them and get the Tamron 17-28/2.8. It's hardly a big lens.

20mp isn't attractive to me though the sensor seems pretty good otherwise.

I’d prefer the 35mm at the long end tbh.
yeah saw its 20min in 8k/4k at 23oC and shorter if the camera is hotter. might not be such an issue here in the uk, but hotter places it could be.

I was never impressed with mine traded up to the Tamron 17-28.

Although those times don't seem to long they also don't indicate any required cooldown time either. If you're recording 8K Raw then you are probably doing a serious bit of filming and unluckily to be recording constantly for 20 minutes. If it records say 5 minutes, you take a couple of minutes break and then repeat without ever encountering the overheating then there will not be an issue.
Either way the Canon R5 looks pretty amazing and all I hope is that it pushes Sony to innovate and update the many things on their cameras which are falling behind the competition already and their latest updates ie A9II have been disappointing.

I waited like 10 years and kept saying Canon has all the glass, all they need is a single killer body....they do it when I have switched to Sony!
Typical. lol

Haha how can you say that when the new Canon ones aren't even released to market yet?
'falling behind the competition', with one announcement? Come on.
So’s my photography so it’ll be a good match

I'm trying to avoid pressing the buy button on the 16-35GM. Let's face it, most people only buy one WA zoom so might as well get the best available.
Then I look at the price....
Same lololol

Only if you're happy using adapted
I kind of agree, but I also have to justify it to myself whether it's worth the extra. As I never shoot with these lenses wide open, and they're stopped down to f8-11 99% of the time I would hazard a guess that the performance difference is somewhat bridged?

Is the body killer though from a stills point of view?
Realistically from a stills point of view the R5's closest equivalent with Sony is the A7RIII, which is a 3/4 year old body now.
The A7RIV is arguably a much better camera for stills if I.Q is top of the agenda and neither of the new Canon's have the speed or sensor technology of the A9, A9II.
In saying that I really want a 50 f/1.2 so may pick up the R5 or more likely the R6.

Aren’t you happy just adapting the 50mm onto the Sony?
It looks a better camera than the Riii and besides the MP count its more in line with the RIV but adds a few things which are reflected in the price.

Adapted lenses are garbage on every system so no.
Plus that would mean adapting the old 50 1.2 I want the rf version.
Although I will probably hold of until Nikon releases there 50 1.2.

Doesn't seem much better than the RIII based on the reviews, the a.f still isn't as good as the newer Sony bodies about equivalent maybe not just as good as the RIII. The resolution is way under the A7RIV and only slightly more than the A7RIII.
From a still point of view the A7RIII is the closest Sony equivalent.
The sensor isn't supposed to be as good as the A7RIII never mind the A7RIV although that has still to be confirmed.
The Canon has nicer ergonomics.

VS RIV
8 stop stabilisation
Faster FPS in MS and ES
Bigger Buffer (even looking at the file size difference)
Video obvs much better
More OSPDAF points (usually means better AF, we'll see)
-6EV AF vs A7riv -3EV
Bigger/Higher res LCD
CF Express
Better ergonomics
You could argue the A7RIV is a smaller upgrade from the RIII than the R5 is.

Yeah it has better video if you don't mind the overheating issues and recording limits.
8 stop stabilisation isn't reviewing very well.
A.F already reviewed as not as good as the newer Sony's
The other stuff doesn't mean anything as it means nothing to the images produced.
The 20fps only works in live view
Definitely much closer to the RIII than the RIV in terms of stills.

But it does, because a lot of people shifted their Riii for an Riv or switched from other systems to Riv and paid the extra to have those features.
Early reviews will be a mixed bag, I guess we'll have to wait and see when more people get them in their hands.
