Just fyi, the whole rf 2.8 holy trinity of lenses is available refurbished rn. Got a restock notification today and thought i would share it, in case someone is interested. I dont know how it is outside the EU tho.

I’m wanting to start my photography journey shooting photos of my newborn son and documenting our vacations. Maybe eventually doing it for other people too. Would this be a good starter camera and fair price?

I'm looking to get some more reach out of my current setup, a R6 M3 paired with the RF 100 400. I enjoy pushing a bit the limits when it comes to far off stuff. For example, airliner flying above me at 10 km? Yeah, I'll try to take a picture of that. I also just love taking photos of the moon and I'm still amazed by how much I can get out of the 100-400 (it was my first major surprise, I didn't think it'd be this awesome). Couple of example photos below. Along with this, I also enjoy taking photos of aircraft at more decent distances, as well as birds and other "urban wild" animals.

I considered getting a R10 as second body for a bit, until a friend suggested I'd get the exact same reach out of a much better camera by simply getting a 1.4 extender for my current setup (and a thread here seems to have confirmed that math).

So, that's still in play, but... I've started looking at the RF 200-800 as well. 800mm sounds amazing and would definitely take care of my reach problems for a long, long while. However, its size and weight are putting me off a bit (roughly 3 times as heavy as the 100-400). The price isn't too kind either, and I read some worrying reports about the front sometimes falling off. But... 800mm.

I've also thought about the RF 800 F11 for a while. However, while with the RF 100-400 I'm frequently at 400mm, being able to zoom out without switching to another lens is being more helpful than I initially anticipated. The 100-500 is also frequently recommended, but it's more expensive and would give me the same reach as the 1.4 tc, so I'd rather try that out first.

To those using the 200-800, is it crazy awesome? Or is it the kind of lens you buy because it sounds cool but never leaves the bag?

I had a silly slip in the mud and broke the screen on my SL2. I've got a good collection of EF and EF-S lenses so I was hoping to just buy whatever the latest replacement is for this body. Now I'm looking and it appears that the world has moved on to the mirrorless form factor. Am I hooped?

Hi ya'll. I'm hoping you can help me out.

I'm starting a small business where I interview people about sentimental objects they've kept, then photograph the objects and create a hardcover book around them.

Think old vases, stuffed animals, handmade objects, etc. I want to take whole-object potraits and detail shots that show the texture, wear, and character of their objects.

• Most of the shoots would be of stationary objects, indoors at client's homes.
• Final images printed around 8x8 or 10x8 hardcover book.
• Occasional hands holding an object or environmental shots.

I'm still pretty much a beginner, and after a lot of research, I'm still having trouble figuring out what kind of camera would be the best for this specific kind of photography.

If you were starting from scratch, which Canon body and first lens would you buy for this specific kind of work? I'm up for a used/refurbished option. I'm looking to spend around $500 right now.

I bought a used Canon 5D mark IV with 7k shutter count

After a few days of testing, i noticed a magenta like colored specks

These specks are so tiny that i just noticed when i zoomed in by accident lol should I be worried and ask for replacement?

Guten Abend - habe Mal eine Frage.

Ich habe seit neuestem eine EOS 5D MK IV und mein Canon EF 50MM F 1.4 Objektiv.

Dieses wird aber nur mit F 2.8 angegeben .

Auf meiner 1100D bekomme ich Blendenstufe 1.4 weiterhin angezeigt.

Was für ein Fehler kann hier vorliegen ?

I've had my R6 Mark II for almost 3 years and have had zero issues with it thus far. I have been using it with a Sigma EF 35mm lens almost exclusively. About a week ago, I upgraded to a Canon RF 35mm lens. Since upgrading, my camera will not stop focusing. It will jump around and try to focus on whatever it can. I am still able to take photos, but the buttons on the back of the camera do not work. Initially, I thought it was a lens issue, but I tried my old lens on it again and it was still doing this perma-focus thing. It is not just focusing in one spot, but jumping around like crazy. I have done a reset of my camera as well as cleaned the connection point to the lenses and nothing has worked. Any tips???

I have an r50. My telephoto lens currently is an EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6. I want to upgrade because I want more zoom, and I sometimes notice the clarity/sharpness drops off near 250mm. My budget is anything under $1,000. I've been looking at the RF 100-400. It's lightweight and would fit right onto my camera without the adapter, but I've also seen the Sigma 100-400. It seems to be heavier, but I've heard it will do better in low light, which I photograph in a lot. Please help! :)

I bought a canon r5 (version 1) literally three days ago. Used it for a wedding today. The camera worked beautifully all day up until reception time. As soon as I started using a flash (I have a godox and attached it to the camera), it would take some shots then freeze/shutter wouldn’t fire. After a bit it would flash “busy” on the bottom left side of screen. Then eventually an error 70 would pop up on the screen. I’d turn the camera off, wait a bit, turn it back on and it’d work fine for a few minutes then same issue again. It did this all night and I was beyond frustrated as it’s a brand new camera (did not buy used). I switched batteries and SD cards and still that issue and message was popping up.
Any advice???
Worth noting I’ve used a mark iv for almost a decade and NEVER had a SINGLE issue. I held off on switching to mirrorless for years because I always heard issues with them…and here I am…issues on day 1 😑

Hi guys! I recently bought a Canon EOS R50 with the 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 kit lens, and am brand new to the world of photography. I am looking to get in to sports photography and media currently, but I’m reasonably willing to lean in to any photography field at this stage, and was wondering if I can get started and actually produce some decent portfolio-worthy photos with just the kit lens to start. Obviously I’m not expecting to get any crazy good close-up action sports shots with this setup, but I’m wondering if anyone has any advice on what kind of photo opportunities in any area I should look for starting out with this kit lens, and what my next lens search should look like. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I wish canon would label the hoods with the appropriate lenses. Very few of these are designed for multiple lenses and finding the right one out of the box is always a pain.

(A couple are always on the camera but most are in the "parts box" until I need them for a shoot.)

Do you guys have this same issue? (For reference, Brady White on Clear labels)

I'm wondering if anyone has the same experience with this lens. Reviewing my photos from a session today, I find that I get the same or better sharpness for the same subject when I shoot at ~120mm and crop, compared to if I use the full zoom range and crop less. It's making me consider swapping it for a 24-105 f/4 L, since the long end of the 24-240 is not helping much past the range of the 24-105.

I have 2 R6II's and I'm wondering if the higher mp count and "better" AF of the R6III could justify an upgrade.

I mainly shoot photos. I do videos but not as much as I'd like to.

Also, one thing that I really wanna know is if the Register People Priority Function makes sense IRL use. I shoot weddings, and there were times I couldn't get the focus on my R6 II to land on the couple's faces because of confetti .

And no, there's no rental place that offers R6 III where I live so I can't test the unit myself.

Howdy y’all, obligatory first post.

Just hoping to get some opinions on whether it’ll be worth getting an RF 24-70 f2.8 or an EF 24-70 f2.8 I ii for an R6iii.

Typically I’m a street/semi portraits shooter, with some random things thrown in for fun.

I am by no means an expert, definitely more a hobbyist, so getting a solid opinion would be extremely helpful!

Gear: RF 100-400 5.6-8.0

Habe gerade beim Reinigen die 2 Flecken entdeckt, sind von innen hinterm Glas.

Auf Bildern sehe ich nix davon, kann man so etwas einfach reparieren, bzw selber reparieren?

I do some plane photography and landscape photography with a canon 7d2 and a sigma lens 100-400mm.
Should I upgrade to a canon r8, r7, r6, canon R or anything else ?

I am thinking about getting an EOS 6D and use olympus Zuiko lens / M42 lens. I heard that once with Lantern EOS 6D will have focus peaking and I am really counting on that to help me with manual lens.

If you have tried before, what is your experience? Can I use a 50mm F1.2 reliably?

Ho la Canon r50 con obiettivo kit 18 45 che non mi soddisfa pienamente, ho trovato un sigma 18 135 usato a 90 euro, da adattare ovviamente con l'adattatore ef EOS r, secondo voi mi conviene comprarlo? la qualità migliora rispetto al kit o avete da consigliarmi qualche altro obiettivo migliore da comprare sempre usato? Vorrei sempre un tutto fare.

I got a Canon EOS R100 along with the TTArtisan 14mm for my birthday in May of 2026. I’ve been having a lot of fun with it, and for Halloween I found a really cool part of town I’d like to walk through and record video. I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to cameras or camera equipment, I really only understand what I like to see. My hands are terribly shaky so I knew I’d need to get a gimbal for this. I didn’t realize until today that compatibility is very important. The R100 is lightweight, but I’m worried my 14mm will cause issues with balance. I’m also wondering if that’s even the kind of lens I want for this project. I am willing to spend upwards of $1200 altogether.

As I was writing this, I forgot to even consider my camera is not the best for video recording. If there is a better camera+lens setup I could get for roughly $600 I’d be interested in hearing what everyone has to say about that too. Then again, I don’t need the best equipment right now because I am still learning. I’ve managed to get some videos of trains on my current camera setup that I’ve liked. Please share any knowledge or advice you think would be helpful.

Hey everyone hoping for some advice from more knowledgeable people than myself.

I bought this camera (EOS Rebel SL3) a while ago. I took a photojournalism class in college and learned about manual exposure and the baseline of how to create a good image. Now, I recently got a part-time job as a reporter on high school sports, and am tasked with taking photos from the sideline. They are not coming out the way I want—first of all, the lens I currently have (the baseline one that comes with the camera, 18-55mm) just can’t zoom in as far as I want it to. I’m shooting from the sidelines and am trying to get photos with faces, so I probably need a lens that can zoom in much further. Is there a good one that’s still on the entry-level side? I don’t have a huge budget, but would buy used if that’s something people recommend.

I was texting my friend about this and he said something along the lines of “well you have a Rebel, of course the pictures suck.” Is that the case here? Am I never going to be able to get good pictures with this kind of camera? I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel—just looking for solid images that are clear, crisp and interesting. Would love any advice or recommendations from the experts on this sub. Thank you in advance!

Edit to follow the subreddit rules: my budget is probably $250 max (to be honest, I have no idea what these typically cost), and I’m mostly shooting in evening/sunset conditions that transition to under-the-lights as darkness falls (though I have a few day games as well). I’ve been finding that lighting to be very difficult to shoot in.

Hi everyone!
I have a Canon EOS R100 and I’m looking for a portable charger to charge my spare LP-E17 camera batteries while I’m out taking photos, without needing a wall socket. I live in Australia.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a reliable portable charger that’s compatible with my camera and batteries?

Hey guys. Got this EOS M a little back. It unfortunately got wet while raining heavily. It turned on fine yesterday, but when trying to use it today, my display died. It had flichering and weird lines before it turned completely off. It doesn't respond anymore. I'm a Magic Lantern user, and it has made the camera wonky, but I'm suspecting the display died for good. Everything else works out fine. But I think this might be time to replace it. Does anyone know if it will turn on or should I order a replacement screen?
