I will not accept because I cannot be objective. I am not in the target audience for this camera. Second…you need to understand the whole idea around the word dosappointnent. Canon did not promise you anything and then broke the promise. They did what they believe is right as their first step in the FF mirrorless journey and I am sure they have a plan for several years on how they want to develop the roadmap. There are many other cameras today that we can chose and every each of them is a compromise. So we need to pick the one that works best for what we do. For some it will be new Sony, for some it will be Nikon D850, for some it will be the next iteration of 5Ds, for some it is Fuji X-T3. We can look at the situation differently and be dossapointed that despite the fact that the cameras today are stunning, most of people are using them to produce average images:-) That is a true disappointment:-)

With the exodus of Canon users to Sony’s Alpha series, adapters have become incredibly important, particularly the Metabones V and the Sigma MC-11. Photographer Luis Gabriel Gerena has done a comparison and produced some slightly alarming — albeit very limited — results regarding sharpness when shooting with a wide angle lens.

Yes I’ve written many times that when you factor in adapters and lenses and filters and filter holders added to bodies, there really isn’t much difference in size/weight/bulk between DSLR/mirrorless. You raise many valid points and I hope the engineers at Canon (and Nikon) don’t go the easy route and opt just for adapters.

2. World’s first*1 support for 4K 60p/50p video recording in a full-frame Digital Single Lens Mirrorless camera

Coming out with new cameras using the same auto focus technology that has failed and been criticized so much is a bad move. It’s like they are stubborn trying to prove it will work. It’s why we had to move from the gh5 to the a73. Got tired of the auto focus issues when we needed it too work. Just a bummer!

But the prices. The first lens to ship will be a 50mm f1.2L USM in October for… $2,300. Yes, it can focus as close as 0.6 inches (15mm), which is yummy. But in comparison, the current EF-mount 50mm f1.2 USM is $1,450. In December, there will be a 28-70mm f2L USM for $3,000 and a 35mm f1.8 Macro IS STM for $500 (it supports Canon’s hybrid electronic/optical image stabilization). While the 24-105mm f4L isn’t slated to ship standalone until December — for $1,100 — given that it’s part of the launch kit that lens will obviously be available earlier.  It incorporates Canon’s next-generation Nano USM motor.

Nikon said in July 2017 that it was actively building a camera that would “raise the bar,” and the company followed up in September 2017 by saying that it must go full frame if it was to be competitive in the mirrorless market. Patents filed by Nikon for full frame lenses emerged around the same time.

Along with key manufacturers, their profiles, global market share, production volume, gross sales margin, revenue, manufacturing plants, and their capacities, material sourcing strategy, newly implemented technologies are also discussed in this report.

I hope that CaNikon releasing mirorless FF will make many people selling their gear at the same time so I can have all I need at a cheaper price than usual.

As for the cost, the adapter is machined out of 4140 steel which is quite harder to work with than the Aluminum that our AR’s are made out of. It also has multiple internal moving parts which have to be inlet for, with tolerances that have to be kept tight to insure proper lockup with repeated use. If you consider the cost of a US machine shop made compensator or brake, I think the price is fairly accurate when you account for the extra machining and parts fitting required to make one of the adapters. It is a purpose driven/Mission specific accessory and a useful one at that, just not one that everyone will want to pay for based on their own personal needs.

But there won’t be an adapter for the EOS M EF-M-mount lenses. The RF mount design has a 20mm flange distance — the distance between the sensor and the mount — while Canon’s APS-C mirrorless EOS M models have an 18mm flange distance. That leaves only 2mm (0.08 inches) for an EF-M to RF adapter, which is nothing to cry over, but less than zero for an RF to EF-M.
