The EOS R is slated to ship in October. Its MSRP of $2,300 for the body and $3,400 for the kit with RF 24-105mm f4L IS USM lens seems a bit steep, given the A7 III’s $2,000 price tag, though for all we know the Nikon Z6′s will be equally high. The pricing seems more intended to fill a strategic gap between the 6D Mark II — now on sale for $1,600 — and the 5D Mark IV, currently at $3,100, for videographers who want something smaller than the 5DM4. 

YATES — While sampling for lead and copper in September, the Village of Lyndonville and Town of Yates found two of 10 homes had results above the EPA Action Level for lead in the fourth water district.

Sure, you can use Canon’s cheaper EF lenses with a mount adapter, but why buy this mirrorless, then? Unless Canon thinks that the only people who will be buying the camera are those who’ve already invested heavily in Canon gear — which it just turned into a self-fulfilling prophecy. 

I’ve had nothing but stunning photos with my EF lenses on 60d and 760d, including paid work for theatre shows with the 35mm F2 IS and 85mm F1.8. Client was very happy with results. Also got into 10th place in last years Wikimedia Loves Monuments with the 85mm on the 760d. And what a joy to have those lenses to use on my recently acquired 5d Mark IV.

Sadly, Canon’s the last holdout sticking with optical stabilization — making its lenses bigger, heavier and more expensive. This leaves us at the mercy of Canon’s decision as to which lenses deserve IS. 

New York state has a pilot program for free lead testing in drinking water. For information on participating in this program, visit www.health.ny.gov/environmental/water/drinking/lead/free_lead_testing_pilot_program.htm.

You know, I was thinking what would be the ultimate with this new S-Series. With the L-Mount Alliance in place, wouldn’t it have been great if Panasonic pulled off another strategic partnership with, say, Kodak. With Fuji and it’s digitized film simulations, it would’ve been spectacular to have a Kodak film stock in the -in-camera settings. Just dreaming, i guess. Kodak may as well, they’re out of the camera game for the most part.

Canon’s EF->RF adaptor is native, with full electronics. Other manufacturers – if they ever get around to emulating the electronics – would have to reverse engineer it, like Metabones does.

And vloggers will love that Canon did what Nikon did not, integrating a fully-articulated rear display that can flip out and turn forward, giving users the ability to film themselves better. Wong loved the electronic viewfinder and the camera’s fast autofocus as well.

I don’t doubt that you can have good(everything is relative) FF lens / APSC boby combination, that’s why I said "most of the time". the Canon 85mm f/1.8 is a good example: it gives 21Mpx resolution on a Canon 5dmkIV, and 10Mpx on Canon 760D (which is the average kit lens quality) [DXO]. So yes, you don’t have much choice if you want a 85mm f/1.8, but the Sigma 50-100mm F1.8 DC HSM A would give you way sharper images (but a bit bigger,…)

At the time, we thought the lead was coming from inside schools because the city of San Diego sounded certain that its pipes were no longer made of lead. But it turns out, as we reported last week along with NBC San Diego, the city does not know what 192,000 of its water pipes are made of. Nor does it know what 16,000 pipe fittings are made of.
