    news-canon-eos-r5-development

    The Canon EOS R5 hasn’t yet hit the shelves, but the rumors keep coming regarding Canon’s full-frame mirrorless line.

    Rumors which promise something even more exciting (for those of us who can be patient, that is!).

    Now, the Canon EOS R5 is plenty thrilling in its own right. It was officially announced by Canon earlier this month and is positioned to correct a number of the much-criticized flaws of the Canon EOS R and EOS RP, Canon’s two major full-frame mirrorless offerings.

    In particular, the R5 promises to feature some form of in-body image stabilization, which is considered by many to be a defining aspect of mirrorless technology.

    The R5 will also offer dual card slots, 20 frames-per-second continuous shooting with the electronic shutter (this drops to 12 frames per second with the mechanical shutter), and an incredible 8K video recording capability. The R5 is rumored to begin shipping sometime this July.

    Canon is calling the R5 its “most advanced full-frame mirrorless camera ever,” and they’re undoubtedly right, though some might claim the EOS R/RP duo set a low bar.

    That said, Canon seems determined to push their mirrorless lineups to greater heights. According to Canon Rumors, the R5 is “definitely not the ‘professional’ EOS R mirrorless camera” that Canon is developing, in reference to an action-focused mirrorless camera teased by Canon, one that would potentially rival the Sony a9 Mark II, as well as the Nikon D6 and the Canon 1D X Mark III.

    Canon Rumors states that the “professional” camera, dubbed the “EOS R1,” should appear in 2021, and suggests that there may be a reveal in the final months of 2020.

    In a sense, this Canon EOS R1 is only interesting as a marvel of innovation. We all want to see Canon push its mirrorless development to the next level (though advanced features do have a tendency to trickle down to lower models). But the EOS R1 will almost certainly be prohibitively expensive, and it won’t be the type of camera the average photographer wants or needs. Instead, it’ll be like its potential competitors, the 1D X Mark III, and the D6: interesting in concept, but relevant only for a niche audience.

    The EOS R5, on the other hand, may be positioned much like the Canon 5D Mark IV. The 5D Mark IV is an impressive camera, and while it’s not Canon’s “true” professional option, it’s a body used by plenty of professionals. Many of these photographers hoped to see an upgrade in the form of the Canon EOS R and were disappointed by its lack of IBIS and single card slot.

    So maybe, with the EOS R5, Canon will finally produce what was hoped for over a year ago.

    What do you think? Are you excited about the EOS R5? How about the R1? If so, why? Let me know in the comments!

  • Canon shows off EOS R5, RF 100-500mm lens under glass at WPPI

    Canon EOS R5 at WPPI

    The upcoming Canon EOS R5 was on display at the company’s booth at the 2020 WPPI Expo in Las Vegas, so we stopped by (and nudged our way past other attendees as politely as possible) to get a closer look. The representatives present at the booth couldn’t provide any details beyond the development announcement; “what’s been published is all we know,” was the common refrain. In case you missed it, here’s what we know:

    • Newly designed CMOS sensor (we’re guessing ~40MP)
    • In-camera image stabilization
    • 20 fps continuous shooting (silent shutter)
    • 12 fps continuous shooting (mechanical shutter)
    • 8K video capture
    • Twin card slots

    Still, we took some photos to get a better idea of what Canon’s done ergonomically to its upcoming full-frame mirrorless model.

    We can see right away that the grip is deeply sculpted, with an almost-certainly customizable function button near the lens mount. Just behind the ‘EOS R5 DEVELOPMENT ANNOUNCEMENT’ label there’s another port door that’s hard to see, but may conceal a socket for a remote release or wireless transmitter.

    Card slots

    Here down the side of the camera we can see the card slot door. Again, all we know is that there are dual slots behind there; but the advertised provision of 8K capture means that they’ll need to be speedy, even with a good compression algorithm. Dual-type slots on the EOS 5D Mark IV could be a hint here; perhaps we’ll see one SD slot and one CFExpress slot. Or maybe just dual UHS-II SD card slots. Time will tell.

    Top panel

    On the top right of the camera, we can see what looks to be an identical control layout to the existing EOS R. The same status panel, and the same Mode + Dial combo for changing your exposure modes. Do you prefer this way of working, or do you long for an old-fashioned mode dial like Canon put on the lower-end RP? Let us know in the comments.

    On/Off switch

    On the opposite side of the camera is the on/off switch, similar in size to those on the EOS R and RP, but there’s a bit more of a protrusion near the back, perhaps for easier operation with your thumb. That also looks to be a polycarbonate panel surrounding the flash hot shoe, which is likely a ‘window’ for the camera’s wireless connectivity antennas.

    Rear plate controls

    Apologies for quality of this image, but the camera was nearly up against the back of the display, and there was no visibility from back there – so we have to make do with this top-down angle.

    First of all, in the place of the EOS R’s touchbar is a traditional AF joystick and better-placed AF-ON button. Just underneath that is a dedicated ‘magnify’ button for checking focus, along with ‘INFO’ and a ‘Q’ button for pulling up the on-screen quick menu.

    Underneath this is a thumb-dial surrounding a ‘SET’ button; this is a familiar setup from many of the company’s DSLRs, and is making its first RF-mount appearance here. No surprise, the screen looks to have the same swivel-out and rotate design as the R and RP, but next to the ‘Menu’ button on the top left is a dedicated ‘RATE’ button, which is accompanied by a microphone. It could be that the R5 lets you attach audio clips to your images using this control.

    Rounding out controls on the back of the camera are the traditional ‘Star’ and ‘Focus Selection’ buttons on the top right.

    Ports

    Again, given the nature of the display, this is the best view of the ports I can get you – but everything is legible, at least. So we know that there will be microphone and headphone ports, a remote port, and a USB (likely type-C) port and HDMI output. You can also get a clearer view of the port cover on the bottom-front of the camera.

    It looks like there may be enough distance from the screen hinge to the mic and headphone ports that they won’t get in the way of each other, so fingers crossed on that.

    Let’s take a look at the RF 100-500mm lens, also under development.

    Canon RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1L

    In amongst the EOS R5 announcement was the teasing of ‘nine RF lenses’ coming later this year, including the RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1L IS USM on the right side of this image. For comparison, it’s sitting next to an existing EF 100-400mm F4.5-5.6L IS II; the 100-500mm is a little chunkier, but of course, you’d need a teleconverter on the 100-400mm lens to get the same reach and that would add bulk of its own.

    Canon RF 100-500mm controls

    Here we can see the ‘smooth / tight’ ring the new RF 100-500mm shares with the EF 100-400mm. This basically sets the resistance of the zoom mechanism, depending on your preferences, or if you just want to eliminate zoom creep when you’re not actively shooting. We can also see the AF/MF switch and a focus limiter option.

    Canon RF 100-500mm controls

    Way down there, we can see the rest of the switches on the RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1L, which include a stabilizer on/off switch and a ‘stabilizer mode’ option, giving users an option to bias the stabilizer depending on whether you want absolute stability or if you’re doing panning.

    Canon EOS R5 at WPPI

    And there you have it – Canon’s upcoming high-end, full-frame mirrorless camera, under glass. We’re hoping to learn more soon, but in the meantime what are you most excited for about this camera? Would you consider getting one yourself? Let us know in the comments.

  • Fujifilm’s new Instax Mini 11 features an ‘Automatic Exposure’ mode and dedicated ‘Selfie Mode’

    Although not nearly as exciting as its new X-T4 camera, Fujifilm has also announced the Instax Mini 11, its latest-generation instant film camera.

    The Instax Mini 11 looks very similar to its predecessor, the Mini 9 (don’t ask where 10 went), but it’s received a subtle facelift. Specifically, the camera is more rounded than before and uses a material around the lens that’s different from the material used in the rest of the camera body. The shutter button and the button used to extend the lens now have dimples as well, presumably to make it easier to locate the buttons by feel when shooting.

    Aside from the slight design change, Fujifilm has also added an Automatic Exposure mode that adjusts the shutter speed and flash output based on the ambient lighting environment. Previously, the only option was to choose from a selection of presets that were changed by twisting a ring around the lens.

    Fujifilm has also added a new Selfie Mode that, according to Fujifilm, ‘makes it super easy to take selfies and close-up pictures.’ A small convex mirror on the front of the camera makes composing selfies a bit easier as well (this has been on previous-generation Instax Mini cameras).

    The Mini 11 also comes in different color options: Blush Pink, Sky Blue, Charcoal Gray, Ice White and Lilac Purple. The Instax Mini 11 is set to ship in mid-March with an MSRP of $ 69.95. In addition to the new camera, Fujifilm has also unveiled two new Instax film varieties: Instax Mini Blue Marble film and Instax Square White Marble film.

    Fujifilm Unveils Its next Generation Instant Camera: The New Instax Mini 11 Is Here!

    Valhalla, N.Y., February 25, 2020 – FUJIFILM North America Corporation is pleased to announce the launch of INSTAX® Mini 11 (Mini 11), the latest innovation in its long line of popular INSTAX instant cameras and Smartphone printers.

    The INSTAX® Mini 11 has been designed for optimal portability along with a fresh, trendy look. Available in five new colors, the Mini 11 boasts the following new features and benefits:

    Automatic Exposure function for better pictures day or night

    The “Automatic Exposure” function automatically senses the level of ambient light when the shutter button is pressed, and optimizes the shutter speed and flash output according to the condition. It allows even novice INSTAX® users to take photos that are automatically properly exposed regardless of conditions, producing high-quality instant photo prints on the spot.

    Selfie Mode for quick and easy selfies

    Users can activate the Selfie Mode, perfect for taking selfies and close-up shots, by simply pulling out the front end edge of the lens after powering the camera on. This makes it super easy to take selfies and close-up pictures.

    Custom, interchangeable shutter buttons for style and personalization

    The Mini 11 comes with two replaceable and stylish shutter button stickers; a fun and easy way to change the button’s look and to personalize the camera.

    Updated design with attention to detail

    Mini 11’s rounder, softer, modern look is a direct homage to its Mini 9 predecessor. Contrasting design elements on the Mini 11 are achieved by using a different material around the lens from the rest of the camera body. The Mini 11 is available in five pastel, pale-tone colors – Blush Pink, Sky Blue, Charcoal Gray, Ice White, and Lilac Purple.

    Also accompanying the launch of this exciting new instant camera are two new INSTAX instant film varieties; INSTAX® Mini Blue Marble film and INSTAX® Square White Marble film. Both have marble-patterned print frames transforming everyday photos into unique, fun keepsakes.

    Fujifilm’s INSTAX® Mini 11 instant camera will be available at a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $ 69.95 USD ($ 89.99 CDN) and is expected to be available for purchase mid-March, 2020.

  • The Smithsonian launches Open Access with 2.8 million public domain images

    The world’s largest museum and research complex, the Smithsonian, has unveiled Open Access, a new portal to more than 2.8 million 2D and 3D images. The Smithsonian refers to Open Access as a ‘vast and diverse digital resource’ for the public, one that contains images of historic artifacts, classic paintings and some of the world’s oldest photographs.

    The images are free to browse and download, marking the first time the Smithsonian has offered a resource like this. The content was sourced from all 19 Smithsonian museums, as well as its research centers and other facilities. Because these images are all in the public domain, the Smithsonian notes that anyone can use them for ‘just about anything,’ including printing them and putting them on other products.

    Another 200,000 images will be added to the collection throughout 2020, according to the institution, which plans to add even more in the future as it continues to digitize its vast collection. Though other institutions around the world have started sharing digitized versions of their content, the size and scope of the Smithsonian’s new digital cache is described as ‘unprecedented.’

    King’s College London expert Simon Tanner who served as an advisor for the initiative said:

    The sheer scale of this interdisciplinary dataset is astonishing. It opens up a much wider scope of content that crosses science and culture, space and time, in a way that no other collection out there has done, or could possibly even do. This is a staggering contribution to human knowledge.

    All 2.8 million 2D and 3D images are listed under the Creative Commons Zero (CC0) license.

  • Sirui announces 50mm F1.8 anamorphic lens for mirrorless cameras set for April release

    Budget-conscious filmmakers looking for an anamorphic lens will finally be able to stop cropping the top and bottom of their movie frames next month when the Sirui 50mm F1.8 1.33x anamorphic lens will begin shipping through distributors outside of the initial Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaigns. The company has already shipped to many of its backers, but the Coronavirus has created delays that have set the general release back to April.

    The lens, which enables 2.4:1 aspect ratio shooting, is available in mounts for Sony-E, Fujifilm X and Micro Four Thirds, and will retail for around $ 700 / £660. Designed to cover APS-C sized sensors the lens offers a field of view that equates to a 37.5mm lens, according to Sirui, as the optics increase the horizontal angle of coverage by 33%.

    The compact lens is only 106.6mm (4.2in) long and has a maximum diameter of 69.2mm (2.72in), while weighing 560g (1.23lbs). It has a 10-bladed iris with openings covering F1.8-16 and the closest focus distance is 0.85m (33.5in).

  • Fujifilm introduces X-T4 with in-body image stabilization and improved battery life

    $ (document).ready(function() { SampleGalleryV2({“containerId”:”embeddedSampleGallery_0079559932″,”galleryId”:”0079559932″,”isEmbeddedWidget”:true,”selectedImageIndex”:0,”isMobile”:false}) });

    Fujifilm has announced the long-awaited X-T4, a stills/hybrid that brings a much-desired feature to the X-T range: in-body image stabilization. The IBIS system on the X-T4 can reduce shake by up to six stops on eighteen of the company’s lenses, and up to five stops on the rest. Fujifilm has redesigned the shutter mechanism, which is rated to 300k cycles and is quieter than on the X-T3. The new shutter can support bursts at 15 fps.

    While the X-Trans sensor is the same as the X-T3, the autofocus system has received an upgrade, with improved face and eye detection as well as subject tracking. Fujifilm has also added a new Eterna Bleach Bypass Film Simulation mode, support for ‘lossy’ Raw files and additional precision when adjusting tone curves.

    The design of the camera has changed in several ways. The LCD is now fully articulating, an AF-On button has been added and the metering switch has been replaced with a stills/video toggle. The grip has been enlarged, the rear control dial protrudes a bit more from the back of the camera and the eyecup is less likely to come off. Settings for stills and videos are now separate, with each mode having their own Q Menu. The X-T4 uses the new NP-W235 battery, which can take 500 shots per charge using the LCD.

    On the video front, the camera gains a 240 fps high-speed mode and interface improvements, but the loss of a dedicated headphone socket will not be popular with videophiles: a USB-C dongle must be used. Just like the X-H1, if you want a dongle-less microphone socket, you’ll need to buy the battery grip.

    The Fujifilm X-T4 will be available this Spring, in your choice of silver or black. The body-only kit will be priced at $ 1699. When bundled with the 18-55mm F2.8-4 the price is $ 2099, and the 16-80mm F4 kit comes in at $ 2199.

    Press release:

    INTRODUCING THE FUJIFILM X-T4: CRAFTED FOR THE MODERN IMAGE-MAKER

    Valhalla, New York – February 26, 2020 – FUJIFILM North America Corporation is proud to announce the launch of the FUJIFILM X-T4 (hereinafter “X-T4”), a flagship model of the X Series family of mirrorless digital cameras.

    The X-T4 is an astounding imaging tool, packing a newly designed IBIS, a quiet new shutter unit, a new vari-angle LCD screen, a new Eterna Bleach Bypass Film Simulation, and a new, large-capacity, battery all into a compact and lightweight camera body. This camera is the perfect tool for today’s image makers and is an ideal multi-functional solution for visual storytellers to use in creating their stories.

    More information about the key features of X-T4:

    Designed for Quality and Speed

    Fujifilm’s state-of-the-art X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor and X-Processor 4 combination sits at this camera’s core, pairing this exceptional, 26.1MP, back-side illuminated sensor with a powerful quad-core CPU to produce images with wide dynamic range and incredible image quality, doing so with lightning-fast processing and precision AF performance, right down to -6EV.

    IBIS Puts Stability in the User’s Hands

    A huge part of creating great photos or videos is being in the right place at the right time – and that often means making handheld images to get to the heart of the action. X-T4’s five-axis In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) provides up to 6.5 stops1 of image stabilization to make sure that, even in the midst of all the excitement, images remain steady and sharp. Combine this with the new four-axis Digital Image Stabilizer, and there’s lots of room to maneuver.

    Steady, Reliable Performance

    For any serious image maker, having a tool that can be relied upon to perform flawlessly whenever it is required is extremely important. For this reason, X-T4 features a newly developed mechanical shutter that is the fastest and most robust in the history of the X Series. Not only can it make 26.1 Megapixel images at 15 frames per second, but it is also rated for 300,000 actuations. Combined with its larger capacity battery that is capable of up to 600 frames per charge2, X-T4 has the power and the durability to give users the peace of mind that they’ll never miss the perfect opportunity.

    Find the Best Angle for the Story

    When chasing the perfect image, versatility is key. The 1.62 million pixel vari-angle touchscreen LCD featured on X-T4 can be adjusted to make it visible from a wide range of positions. This not only provides a high-quality monitor to frame with, but also provides quick and simple controls when they’re needed most. On the flip side, there are times when it’s necessary to minimize the light and distractions that a screen can create. That’s why X-T4’s LCD has been designed to easily fold away so it is completely hidden from view, leaving the updated 3.69 million pixel/100fps electronic viewfinder to focus on the moment at hand.

    When a Story Needs Movement

    The modern image maker is blurring the lines between photography and videography, and X-T4 has been designed to celebrate this new generation of hybrid creativity. With the simple flick of a switch, movie mode is activated, meaning X-T4 is capable of recording both professional-level DCI 4K/60p and Full HD/240p super slow-motion video. It is also possible to record F-Log footage in 10-bit color, straight to the card. What’s more, the innovative AF-C subject tracking works in low-light conditions down to -6EV and the camera’s use of a new, high capacity battery lets content creators push their creative limits.

    Powerful Image Manipulation Made Easy

    For over 86 years, FUJIFILM Corporation has produced photographic films that have been used by some of the world’s best-known moviemakers to create some of the world’s most successful movies. This legendary reputation in color science is celebrated with the company’s hugely popular selection of film simulation modes, which digitize some of the industry’s most iconic films and puts them right at hand. X-T4 introduces ETERNA Bleach Bypass, the newest addition to the much-loved collection of Film Simulation modes available in the X Series product line, which creates a beautiful de- saturated, high-contrast look that image-makers will find irresistible.

    X-T4 will be available in both black and silver and is expected to be available for sale in Spring 2020 at a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $ 1,699.95 USD and $ 2,199.99 CAD.
