kye Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Finally, a camera where 8K won't be a spectacular and non-sensical application of superfluous technology simply for marketing purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSMW Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 More interesting to me was the announcement of the 24-105mm f2.8 OK it weighs 1.3kg, but on an R3 that weighs 1kg, a combined total of 2.3kg I could just about live with for events. As someone who has been running a 2.8kg set up all year, I would rather go sub 2kg, but even .5kg is considerable in the hand. kye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The optional powered zoom adapter for it looks intriguing too but, again, $1K seems a bit excessive for a Nucleus Nano motor in a bigger case that you can’t use with any other lenses. Canon did a similar adapter a few years ago for one of its APS-C lenses and it was about $250-300 (some inflation eh?) and the main criticism of it was that it was unique to one lens so maybe this time they have learnt the lesson and will make this one available for more lenses down the line.

IronFilm Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Nifty, can jump back and forth between 180VR and 360VR mode. That's often a downside of these dedicated all in one cameras (not camera rigs which are multiple camera bodies used together to do 360VR/180VR), they're only best at either one type or the other. kye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I looked, I guessed ball park 3k so no surprise for me. The best bit about it for me is other than the constant aperture f2.8, no barrel extension when zooming. Unless it’s really short, I despise barrel extending lenses. For Sony and Nikon, there is stuff like the 24-120 and 35-150 and whilst great focal lengths for me, I’m not a fan of the extended barrels when zoomed out. It’s still for me the weak spot in L Mount. The closest we have is the Lumix F4 24-105, but a bit slow for me and the Leica 24-90 f2.8-4…which I have and though lighter than this new Canon RF, Pound for Pound capability, cost removed from the equation, not in the same league. A 40-120 f2.8 non/extending internal zoom please Sigma or Lumix 🙏 Fat chance methinks… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering wether this will be THE camera to shoot a feature to have it ready by the start of that Apple headset! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
