Ever wondered what it is about Canon’s Cinema Cameras?
Stray Angel Films posted a short video where they compare the Canon C100 EOS Mark II vs EOS C200 vs C300 Mark II and highlight who needs what.
Canon RF 50mm f/1.2L at a glance:
Optical Limits (formerly known as photozone.de) reviewed the [shoplink 53675]Canon RF 50mm f/1.2L[/shoplink] lens for the EOS R system.
From the conclusion:
[…[ it is quite obvious that the Canon RF 50mm f/1.2 USM L is an awesome lens … with a similar awe-inspiring price tag. In relation to other lenses in this class, the performance is already superb at f/1.2. Yes, the outer image region is not truly stellar but it’s impressive nonetheless. The image quality is extreme at medium aperture settings – across the image frame that is. Low lateral CAs contribute to the very high image quality perception. Image distortions are generally no issue. Vignetting is though – at least in its uncorrected state. There is some heavy light-falloff at f/1.2 and f/1.6 but to be fair – that’s to be expected. Most users will not (should not?) buy the lens for its sharpness but for its shallow depth-of-field capabilities. While not truly exceptional, the bokeh is very good with a smooth rendition in the focus transition zone. Out-of-focus highlights are nicely rendered in the image center, less so towards the image corners. However, that’s a physical limitation really. We were also very impressed by the very low bokeh fringing. Yes, you may spot some traces at f/1.2 but it’s not really relevant anymore from f/1.6 onward – and that’s a very rare characteristic.

Optical Limits gives it a “highly recommended” rating.

Dustin Abbott completed his exhaustive review of the new Canon EOS R.
From the conclusion:
Like most new Canon cameras, the initial reaction for many is to be underwhelmed. It is sometimes easy to overlook the areas where Canon is quietly innovating (the sensor protecting “shield” and control ring on the RF lenses/adapter are genuinely useful innovations) because of the obvious areas where Canon is lagging (no IBIS, video quirks, lower frame rate, single card slot). Typically Canon cameras prove to be better cameras than their specs, however, and I do think that will be the case here. What’s somewhat atypical, however, are the ergonomic fails of the EOS R, as that is typically an area of strength for Canon. In this case an attempt to be innovative (the touch bar) actually proved to be a fail (at least from my perspective). If you are using a camera on a regular basis, however, you typically learn ways to get it to do what you want it to do, and Canon has allowed for a higher degree of customization on this camera than is typical for them. The excellent touchscreen also helps in this regard. I also think that Canon has implemented the best grip I’ve found in a mirrorless camera yet.
Dustin’s review comes with a huge set of sample photos and all sort of tests and analysis. If you prefer to watch the review, the video below tells you everything Dustin has to say about the EOS R.
