I think wooster is talking about switching AF modes easily rather than the actual moving of the AF point.To move between AF points, I use the touchscreen instead.... in fact I used that so often that it helped me to focus on the subject that I wanted
Sounds good - is that possible? I know for flash compensation you have to hold down an extra button to get the control ring to activate and actually change the setting
I have a 2013 iMac and had an ssd installed plus I was able to upgrade the ram…made it considerably faster but I use affinity for editing…….
Yes I'm pretty sure I tried it and it works. I will make doubly sure tomorrow. It's not as handy as the two back button method but if you want to minimise thumb movement its not a bad way
He says moving between AF point tho, unless he meant AF mode selection
I use cRAW rather than full RAW on my R5 so the file size is 17MB rather than 45MB - much easier to handle and no discernable loss in image quality!
Nice, my Canon R5 just keeps getting better.
difficult to imagine any need to upgrade at this point, but doubtless we will at some point
Good to here, be interested to see how good the vehicle tracking is.
Not exactly upgrade, but for me I get the urge to just use micro 4/3 sometimes instead! Big soft spot for the lumix G9 which does a lot… do I really need the R5difficult to imagine any need to upgrade at this point, but doubtless we will at some point
Plus I don’t like the speed issues I encounter. Say, I’m shooting a bunch of stills in Raw & JPEG and then need to flick quickly to shooting 4K 60 video, there’s a good pause of a few seconds or so while it saves images and then I can begin recording. Not that I do them much, but I did a wedding last weekend and it didn’t cause some stress. It’s ironic that I never encounter speed issues or buffering even with my “lowly” lumix G95 and G100!
..here comes your R5 in the classifieds....(then you can get the R3)
Thanks
The current double cashback on both is very attractive. I test drove the R6 in the summer and it seemed good for my needs. For me heart says R5 and head says R6. The cashback makes the choice easier for me as the R6 is half the price of the R5. The difference goes a long way to covering some of the costs of getting the RF 14-35 f4 and 70-200 f4 (they would make a good compact landscape kit).
Yes you make a good point there, going by some videos and real life reviews, even the prime RF lens which are F8, produce fantastic results at a reasonable cost and word is that Sigma are going to be releasing some RF glass next year, so could be even cheaper still for a reasonable lens. With wildlife cropping can be essential especially for smaller birds, so the 45mp would definitely come in handy there.
The cash back off will definitely help, I can stretch to the R5, thankfully now that winter is here, there will be less paying out on train fares to shoots etc, so will be easier to save and get the R5 for about March time. The EF 300 F4 is a beautiful lens for wildlife and will serve you well.
That is really interesting to know as have heard of sone ridiculous file sizes with gigapixel.
Now that is great to know as I was concerned that the R6 has a better advantage for venues, I know that noise can be dealt with easy enough through the likes of Topaz & DXO etc, but would be nice to be able to get clean images to begin with. I know of course this will vary on lighting and how wide open you can shoot.
That’ll teach me to read the manual on a new camera before asking a question..
No worries, in my response I meant to put a question mark not an exclamation mark, in case you needed something more than the in built one can provide.
This video here is interesting. It backs up the one linked in above post 4,429 and certainly made my decision to go for the R5 a lot easier. The relevant part is from 11mins 35 secs
Fair enough and I sympathise with your point of view, but if you did watch this particular part of this particular video, you would see there are some fairly telling examples of the point in question.
