Yes fair enough. I just wonder if going from a 30Mpixel 5D to a 20Mpixel R6
Am also thinking this saying that some of my best pictures i have ever taken was with a 70D and a old 24-105.

how much?! Is it just me or are all the RF-mount lenses and accessories a big step up in cost?Little bit off topic but I see Canon have announced the pro flash to go with the R series. The EL1. Shame about the Profoto level of pricing though. B and H are listing it at 1100USD.

At that price I hope this flash works magic and defies the laws of physics to illuminate every scene to perfectionhow much?! Is it just me or are all the RF-mount lenses and accessories a big step up in cost?

The high end is no longer being subsidised by the volume consumer level products. The price probably reflects more of the true cost of development.

Has anyone had an R6 from WEX recently or have had an update on shipping dates?
I ordered one tonight and was wondering how long I'll be waiting.
Thanks.
I think you are spot on. It's going to be a great buyer's market for EF lenses soon.Yes, there's probably a lot of truth in that - and unfortunately it applies across the board. Though higher prices don't seem to have stopped buyers falling over themselves to spend (on the evidence of this thread) some seriously large sums
ps an upside is that there's a lot of trading-in of EF lenses that actually work even better than before on RF bodies via the adapter (with better AF). That's where the smart money will be spent.
Is anyone using the RF 100-500 with the new R5?
I‘m finding the images to be blurred no matter what I try. I did some tests today comparing the image quality against my 5D4 with EF 100-400L and my 6DMk2 with Sigma 150-600

Are they both running the newest firmware? I believe there was an update for this issue.

Hi Paul love the shots in Liverpool what lens was you using m8

Do an update and test from tripod without any stabilization with timer delay.
I know full well how easy it is to f*** up a 400mm shot even from tripod. Even slight wind can blur it just enough to notice.
Thanks for the reply.
I tried the lens on my EOS R and it’s exactly the same.
I spent a morning taking exactly the same shots with my various cameras
6D2 with Sigma 150-600C
5D4 with EF 100-400L
I used my RF 800mm f11 and the RF 100-500 On both the R5 and the EOS R.
Every shot I took with the 100-500 had a shake shadow.
I tried electronic shutter only and mechanical shutter .... no change.
I was questioning my own technique but when all my other kit produces great sharp photos I think it must be a fault with the lens now unfortunately.
I took long range shots and also fairly short range at about 8m. The 100-500 was clearly the loser.
I tried it at 400mm too. Still not good.

Hi Andrew, sounds like you have checked thoroughly. Time to go back to Canon? With all your new stuff you probably qualify for good service with canon professional?
I would not want to lose any more time getting it sorted.
Well my camera arrived back at Panamoz today. They refunded me almost immediately. They have been really good throughout this process. What a great company. Highly recommended.
My R5 from Panamoz showed exactly the same. It was stuck at Chep Lap Kok for 5-6 days and then suddenly started moving.Mine has been stuck in Hong Kong for days, each day I get an email from UPS saying 'we'll deliver your parcel tomorrow' and each day I check and it's still in Hong Kong

Good to hear.
I'm sending my RF 100-500mm back.
It's on E-Infinity for £240 lower and I'm still within the 14 return window so I've contacted Panamoz and started the returns process. They take off £20 for the return postage so I will still be saving £220.
It's out of stock on E-Infinity at the moment but we're effectively in lockdown in Liverpool anyway so I can wait.
Panamoz include a 3 year guarantee and from what I’ve heard they’re very good at honouring it.
