I like the direction Canon is headed with these two newest non-L 'prosumer' lenses. Very good IQ (Canon says 'L-series quality') and weather sealing,...

A bird I had not seen before about a month ago. It is finally getting comfortable enough that I can get a few photos Yellow Bellied Sapsucker ...

Yeah, that might be me. I currently have the 14-35 f/4 and the kit 24-105 f/4. They are both great, but I do wish for more light. When the recent...

Yeah, the MTFs are like the L lenses, but lower build quality (plastic vs. metal, worse coatings) and lower focus quality (high-end STM instead of...

Thanks everyone! This is a fun contest and I love seeing all the variety in the entries. Special thanks to Brant for keeping it going!

Congratulations Jonathan! You have the 2024 Image of the Year!!! Great images all year everyone. Thanks to all that participated. It does...

One more day to vote!

I will have a few older images from 2024 that I am clearing out. Here are two that I have loaded up on Flickr from a trip to Stockholm in September...

An afternoon a week ago, I checked my feeder at sunset and there was zero activity, which is really odd. Something in the tree to the left of my...

Great. Thanks Everyone. The consensus is that the monthly competitions are not going away, but the thread will be posted in March. Please...

I'm on board with the quarterly version. Thanks for the work on this!

Good plan, Brant. Thanks for keeping this going and managing the technicalities.

I like the idea of moving it to quarterly.

One more day to vote!

I have been mulling this over and let me know what you think of my plan. I still enjoy the competition and would like to see it continue. I...

I think you are in need of some longer term reviews of the R1, particularly of those that owned the R3. I cannot help you there. The early...

The quest for the best AF and Sensor. Looking at the definition of "need" one of them is this as none of the others really apply: a thing that...

I always advocate that you should shoot to your need. It is pretty easy to see someone with a R3 conclude that their needs are fulfilled.

Thanks As an R5 comparison I think I could have said most of the same things comparing the R3. AF is better with the R3 than the R5 no doubt. I...

Being worth an upgrade from an R3 is pretty specific and personal. If there is something you would like to know, I am happy to give it a go. ...

Honestly not sure yet, since I really haven’t used it. First event I shot in December, I hadn’t finished configuring the R1 so I used the R3. Then...

Thanks everyone!

So is it a worthy upgrade from the R3?

Congrats Brant

You pulled from the R1 description, but in a nutshell this is just fancy upscaling. Photoshop does it (old school, with bicubic smoother...

Anyone want to take a shot at explaining this: Are we splitting pixels 4 ways and why would that even matter. Wouldn't you just end up with 4...

Here are a few of mine. The first one was back in January when I was playing with the compression effect of the RF 100-400 on a snowy day. Wall...
