(Warning – Canon info follows…<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canon<\/strong> have just announced two new camera bodies, both full-frame, the R1<\/strong> and the R5ll<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For once I have to agree with Jared Polin<\/strong> in his analysis of the R1<\/strong> – this is announced as a ‘Flagship’ camera body – a bit like the NIKON Z9<\/strong> but it’s anything but.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have no particular axe to grind with Canon<\/strong> – I don’t own a Canon<\/strong>, and having grown up with NIKON<\/strong> it seemed perfectly reasonable to continue using them (particularly as they DID NOT change their lens mount when AF (auto focus) and then digital became the rage…unlike Canon<\/strong>…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, the camera body costs MORE than the Z9, has a less dense sensor (25mp instead of 45mp) and aside from (according to Polin) a stunning new auto focus, has not got anything else that makes it that interesting…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polins attitude is to call it an R3ll – sadly, I’m not really up to date on any Canon<\/strong> models, so I have no idea what he’s talking about – suffice it to say both models are more expensive, and less interesting in terms of innovation, than their NIKON<\/strong> equivalents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also seems that Canon<\/strong> lenses are considerably more expensive than their NIKON<\/strong> equivalents – are they better? I simply can’t say – but frankly, NIKON<\/strong> lenses are A: pretty good, and B: expensive enough for me !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An example – the Canon\u00a0RF\u00a070-200mm\u00a0F2.8L\u00a0IS USM<\/strong> costs 3199\u20ac on the Canon site with the equivalent the NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f\/2.8 VR S<\/strong> costing 2399\u20ac on the NIKON site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can’t help reading between the lines with regard to Canons (lack of ) development on the consumer\/pro camera bodies – they seem to be spending more time and money developing their video base – this could be very useful to the videastes amongst us, however less useful for the interchangeable lens camera body crowd…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
