R5? R6? Anyone?

[Dave Throgmartin]

Oh and if I were into bird photography I would completely agree with you ! I just feel I don't need such an impressive AF. But that's just me.

Better bring a big lens if photographing birds using full frame. Crop sensors are better for the guy without big whites.

I would someday love to have a camera WITHOUT video capabilities, since i don't have any use of them. Give me just camara, should be cheaper and suffer no overheating issues like R6 and R5 have :P

But yeah, R6 with th 600mm and both extenders, good enough since the nice R6 af on both =)

So the 5 has 8 stop IBIS.
"Stabilization gets better if you pair the in-body stabilizers with a compatible RF- or EF-mount lens."

So has anyone found the list of EF lenses that it is compatible with?
How would this stack with the in body IS of my 500mm?
This might be a bigger improvement and benefit to eliminate noise in low light than having the lower mp sensor. I can get my 500mm down to 1/250 before shake really becomes an issue. Getting it down even lower would be huge.

What are you shooting with the 500 mm lens, that would benefit from a slower shutter speed? If it's birds or other wildlife, they will need to be perfectly still to get the shot. I can see where the IBIS is a game changer for people that want to use the camera for walking around, especially with that new 100-500 RF zoom. But when you are attaching it to a big lens like the 500 f/4, you're probably using a tripod so the lens IS should be more than enough to deal with the regular vibrations.

The early morning blind, big game like deer seldom moves that fast. Even the bobcats like to stop and look around. Carrying a tripod in the field is not always the best option and I seldom do.

If your maxed out in the evening or morning, an extra IS stop might get you 7 to 8 more minutes with a lower shutter speed for a shot that you normally wouldn't even try.

More IS would help in all situations where you do not have the tripod.

I almost pucked uo the R, the R5 is likely in the bag soon. Why?

Here is my logic.

I loved the resolution of the 5DsR that I rented... close enough.

Mirrorless, I almost went to mf4/3 for the benefit of no flappy mirror. Ta da.

Twistt Flippy!!!!! Man everytime I borrow my friends 80d the touch flippy gets me and when I go back to the 5d3 aaaarrrggghh

My sigma art lenses now are IBIS and that is cool.

34 mp Still capture from movie frames for "net" published photos moves the equivalent fps to 30?!?!? Belly LOL!!

I have use for movies/vids in wild life shooting.... wonder how close the shutter speed can get to the fps.... cant shoot 30 fps at 1/15th.

Saw the silent disables aeb... darn but 12 fps with no mirror is same as my 1dx.1 so that works.

I will be getting it in the fall. Too freaking hot in FL right now. Hope the supply chain is decent.

STAY SAFE AND UNINFECTED. Lets just say I am way deep the epidemiology of cobid and while dying is bad the rate of permanent disability is the story missed by the media.

The media has missed many things. They dilute the reports on symptoms so you have to much information and do not focus on the major things you should be watching. It is Silent Hypoxia, if you get it buy yourself a pulse oximeter and if your oxygen starts getting below 90% get to the emergency room. This thing kills by stealing your ability to take in oxygen.

Wear masks, social distance and be safe. We have been there and back already. It is no fun and scary as hell.

Some wildlife reviews for the R5 are starting to come in.

First impressions here, mostly, I am impressed watching eye AF on BIF:

I'd have to agree. Besides we have good options now with 600mm f/6.3 lenses by Sigma and Tamron. They are far more useable for BIF and are reasonably priced (Relatively speaking of course.).

I see them as compact reach, and that encompasses a lot of uses but hardly ideal or even usable for BIF.

This is quite enlighting discussion about the R6 and the f/11 lenses.
