Michael The Maven wonders which camera has the better or worse ergonomics and usability between the Canon EOS R and the Nikon Z7. He claims Nikon got it better with usability. I do not agree.
What do you think?
Max Yuryev wonders which camera has the best low light performance, Canon EOS R, Sony A7 III, Fujifilm X-T3, Nikon Z7 or Pocket 4K?
Tony & Chelsea Northrup gave 1,500 photographers a blind poll and had them pick the image with the best color in several different scenes, including portraits in different lighting and outdoor photos. Which camera do you think got the most votes when it comes to color science?
Well known photographer Steve Huff posted a quite enthusiastic article about the Canon EOS R, and why he switched to it.
I switched to the Canon EOS-R […] and could not be happier. This camera is a gem. Forget the noise created around its release, as it has some Mojo. The EOS-R and EF or RF lenses offers something unique.
As other reviewers pointed out, the EOS R system is made by its outstanding (albeit small) lens ecosystem. The RF 28-70 mm F/2L and especially the RF 50mm F/1.2L are showcasing the optical excellence that can be achieved with Canon’s newly engineered RF mount. And then it’s Canon’s color science, and all the things that make up a Canon camera.
I love this Canon, the color, the control, the new lenses, the ease of use, the video function, touch screen controls, and the swivel screen. The Joystick? I am enjoying this camera without it as I enjoy using my thumb to set the focus point while I shoot. It’s intuitive and natural. I do feel Canon could do a firmware update though to make this process a tad smoother. It can be a tad glitchy at times but all in all, I really enjoy this feature as it allows me to easily select my focus point, in a natural way. They probably should have just put in the joystick to please more of the camera buying audience but they didn’t. Either way this works the same way as a joystick, just takes some getting used to.
Here are some videos Steve Huff posted about his experience with the Canon EOS R. The first video telling the reasons why he left Sony’s system. More insights and a lot of sample photos in his review.

Johannes of De.Light Photo got a Canon EOS R, and is very fond of it.
In the conclusion he writes:
Wow, what a camera… It delivers all what I expected to get. Using the EOS M5 since almost 2 years as my main travel camera I knew that Canon is delivering great gear on the mirrorless side as well. Therefore the R is definitely the next level for my “always with me travel camera”! The great thing is that it delivers those features which I missed mostly on the M5: Better low light performance and more bokeh and that’s just related to sensor size. And weather sealing. But unfortunately the first RF-mount lens to come will be the 35mm f1.8 – and this one comes without weather sealing.
The EOS-R is a remarkable camera. It can be a work horse for all “normal” needs – and I believe for working professionals as well. I would think it will become a […] camera for travel photographers, who do want to be a bit more discrete and [want] to carry less.
For many topics which are critizised in the online community there are workarounds or solutions built in which are made pretty awesome. But you have to figure them out and maybe to learn how to use them.
Johannes’ review comes with a lot of sample photos. The EOS R as “always with me travel camera” convinces me a lot. I bought the EOS M3 for the same reason.

Sigma 105mm f1.4 DG HSM Art at a glance:
Photography Blog reviewed the Sigma 105mm F1.4 DG HSM lens, the “bokeh master”. Sigma has landed another winner with this lens
From the conclusion:
Weighing in at well over 1.5kg and sporting a huge 105mm front element, the Sigma 105mm F1.4 DG HSM is a monster of a lens, but thankfully it delivers in the image quality department. Sigma have gone all out to make this the ultimate lens for bokeh lovers, and you certainly won’t be disappointed if that description fits you.
The Sigma 105mm F1.4 DG HSM is a tack-sharp lens, both in the centre and at the edges of the frame, with little evidence of chromatic aberrations and virtually no distortion. Vignetting at wide-open apertures is the only real optical issue of note, something that similarly fast lenses also suffer from, although stopping down to f/4 solves this problem altogether.
As with other recent Sigma lenses that we’ve reviewed, the build quality of the 105mm F1.4 DG HSM is fantastic, with the brass lens mount and sober all-black design adding to the high-quality feel. Read the review at Photography Blog.
