Canon EOS R6 Review – Doubtful Video Tool With Serious Limitation (Cinema5D)

Canono Eos R6 Review

Uh, this is a rather harsh statement for a Canon EOS R6 review. Is the Canon EOS R6 really that “doubtful”?

Johnnie Behiri from Cinema5D reviews the Canon EOS R6 as a video tool in a real world scenario and as the title already suggests he is not happy at all with the EOS R6. They used ice cubes to cool down the camera.

Canon Might Release A Speedbooster And New Adapters For RF Mount

Speedbooster

Canon might soon announce new adapters for the RF mount, i.e. the mount of the company’s EOS R full frame mirrorless camera system. And a Speedbooster might also get announced.

Rumor has it that Canon might release some interesting adapters for the RF mount, all of them likely within 2020.

  • PL to RF with Cooke/i
  • EF-Cinema Lock to RF
  • Speedbooster

That Canon was working on their own speed booster was in the air. A pertinent patent was spotted time ago. For those who want to learn what a Speedbooster is, have a look here.

A Canon announcement in August or September 2020 is already rumored. The adapters might get announced along with new Canon EOS M cameras and a new EOS R camera.

Stay tuned, and don’t forget to snap pics.

Another Mention Of IBIS Coming To The Canon EOS M Lineup

Canon Eos M50 Mark Ii

A new rumor surfaced confirming a precedent rumor: In Body Image Stabilisation (IBIS) might come to the Canon EOS M lineup.

IBIS on an upcoming EOS M camera was rumored previously but it’s good to hear it again, even if it is becoming a bit redundant. IBIS is rumored to come to the PowerShot lineup too.

We think it is very likely that Canon will feature IBIS on future EOS M cameras. The upcoming EOS M50 Mark II and EOS M5 Mark II are for sure good candidates for IBIS on the EOS M lineup. Both cameras might get announced in Fall 2020.

All Canon rumors are listed here.

Stay tuned.

Associated Press Photographers Will Use Only Sony Gear From Now On

Associated Press

Well that’s something! Associated Press (AP) announced they will “equip all visual journalists globally with Sony imaging products“.

This is something because AP has historically been a Canon and Nikon stronghold. If AP embraced this change it means (at least to me) that they got a good deal by choosing to use Sony gear. More about the AP move can be read here.

AP press release:

AP to equip all visual journalists globally with Sony imaging products

Sony Electronics Inc., a global leader in imaging, and The Associated Press, the trusted global news organization, announced today a new collaboration that will make Sony the exclusive imaging products and support provider for AP news photographers and video journalists around the world.

With journalists in nearly 250 locations in 100 countries, AP provides factual, compelling journalism in all formats, including 3,000 photos and 200 videos each day. The news agency has a distinguished history of powerful visual journalism, winning the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography — AP’s 54th Pulitzer and 32nd for photography — and garnering recognition from the Royal Television Society for excellence in video.

A wide variety of Sony’s imaging solutions products will begin delivery immediately, including the full-frame mirrorless Alpha™ cameras, 4K XDCAM video cameras and an assortment of Sony’s 57 E-mount lenses including G Master™ models.

“We are extremely honored to announce this collaboration with The Associated Press, an organization with an incredible history in journalism that continues to raise the bar for global news reporting and delivery,” said Neal Manowitz, deputy president for Imaging Products and Solutions Americas at Sony Electronics. “The Associated Press is a universally trusted brand for news information in the world. We are honored to equip AP’s journalists with our technology and support, giving them the opportunity to capture, transmit and deliver imagery in ways they never could before.”

“Sony’s history of innovation aligns well with AP’s, and with our vision for the future of visual journalism,” said Derl McCrudden, AP deputy managing editor for visual and digital journalism. “AP is committed to providing the best imagery to our member news organizations and customers across the globe. Adopting Sony’s cutting-edge equipment and technology allows us to do that, by enabling our photographers and video journalists to be faster and more flexible, ultimately creating better visual journalism.”

When the transition to Sony is complete, AP’s video journalists and photographers will for the first time be equipped with the same brand of cameras, allowing for seamless collaboration among the news agency’s journalists as they tell the world’s stories in whatever medium is right for the moment.

AP visual journalists will be able to share Sony’s cameras and lenses, as well as the images they capture, to produce a news report unhindered by technical limitations.

“The new mirrorless technology in Sony’s cameras allows for a completely silent operation, meaning our photojournalists can work in environments without interrupting the scene around them,” said AP Director of Photography J. David Ake. “This is a huge leap forward in photojournalism.”

In addition to delivery of product, AP and Sony will work together to improve workflow and efficiency of field operations, including testing of 5G capabilities. Sony offers 5G through its Xperia™ product line, which uses technology from its cameras, professional monitors, and audio devices.
