Well, since I started this whole thing on this board, I might as well come through with the first images in a proper dedicated thread. Very foggy today, but still quite enjoyable to walk through the quiet, blanketed landscape. Some of the shots turned into something like abstracts, even. Very...

I have comments on Canon's fulfillment/delivery capabilities, but you can't argue on the prices they have for EOS M, especially the M3 with 18-55 and they're still throwing in a free EV-DC1 viewfinder. Last year it was for USD 469, now down to 398 for a Refurbished Kit. EOS M10 with 15-45 for...

Canon Powershot G1 X Mark III APS-C Compact Camera I'm pretty impressed - all decisions are good ones, and if the lens is good enough, it's actually a M5 with a fixed lens - and it's weather-resistant, which is a first for large sensor compacts (bridge cameras have offered this for a while, but...

The epic grandeur of the sky fascinates me. Cloud structures and associated weather systems can stretch for hundreds of miles and can be staggering in their magnificence. So, the assumption: if you need to take a picture of something really big, you need a space-gobbling wide angle, right...

Canon G12 (last two lightly romanced with Perfects Effects 8) Cheers, Jock

The G12 is still a marvelous camera Cheers, Jock

Canon G12, just a few minutes ago. Cheers, Jock

First roll through Canon P. Second roll through with no light meter. Lens is Jupiter 3 (50mm f1.5).

I had seriously considered jumping on to an Olympus TG-5 given @NoSeconds challenge with his Olympus TG870. To this end I had dragged my Panasonic DMC-FT4 out of hibernation to have a play as my Panasonic DMC LX-100 is still out of action [just waiting for me to get my act together and fit a new...

Randomly the screen of my new G7X mark II gets black. Only icons and values are shown. If I shoot a picture it is completely black. Do know what to do. I bought it just one day before departure for vacation and now I'm in Thailand and my camera works randomly. I tried to reset to factory...

Am trying to update the firmware on my Canon EOS-M (Mark 1) from v2.0.2 to v2.0.3 but the 'OK' button is greyed out (pics attached). Have gone through all the right procedures, including having a fully charged, original Canon battery and trying different P.A.S.M modes. Emailed Canon but they...

It is exciting to see so many phenomenal pictures from the GX-7. I have been a Sony Cybershot DSC-H10 user for the last ~10 years, and just now upgraded to the GX-7 Mark 2. I am making great progress on my learning curve. The main question I have is how do I get the camera to bracket the...

Most compact of the 1" sensor cameras: Gear of the Year: Carey's choice - Canon PowerShot G9 X

Hi all, time ago I tried an EOS M but sold it due to lack of lens. Now I have the Sony A/II and some Canon L lens so I want a small compact second body that I can use with some of my Canon lens (40mm for example). I would like a comparison between the EOS M and EOS M3 IQ, AF and compatibility...

According to Canon Rumours, the next EOS M camera, the M5, will be announced in 2 weeks time. It's moving upmarket and looks like it actually may be a contender in the mirrorless field. "Canon EOS M5 known specifications: 24.2mp (80D sensor or some variant, we’re 90% sure on this) Built-in...

Yeah that's right the 'cheapo' waterproof compact point & shoot which would have come out 5-6 years ago with a tiny sensor compared to anything released these days. There was no option to shoot raw with this baby. I was just going through the wife's photos in Vietnam in 2013 - it's not that...

Today's new images with this marvelous little superzoom (960 mm eq.) camera are: 1) A closer take of a redwing blackbird calling for a mate. 2) A blue and red jet, where the blue skin is fading into a similarly blue sky in places. 3) Church steeples, customs house, and shipping facilities across...

First/test images with the Canon SX720 small pocket camera. The first was at a 1/4 mile distance, from one end of the pier to the other. I have to reduce the images from 20 mp to 8 mp on average (best case daylight BTW) to get a fairly smooth-looking final image. This first image is also...

Here are two quick zoom samples with the very slim Canon SX720, with the 960 mm 135-effective focal length. You can see on #2, the water tower, that the image quality at full zoom is pretty good, when you pause and step through the frames. These are straight OOC. The atmospheric distortion in...

Default drive mode on G7X, and apparently on many other Canon models, but is not mentioned in print or pdf mauals. Works like single shot. What's the difference?

Can anyone recommend a useful Canon forum for a beginner? There are so many Canon forums, it's hard to know where to start. I'm looking for a forum that helpfully covers the basic stuff along the lines of 6D cameras, plastic fantastic lenses, that sort of thing, and where Canon v Nikon wars...

These cameras are about the same physical size (Canon is a bit smaller, but has a 1" sensor compared to the Fuji's 2/3" sensor). Canon: fall_redbud by D Payne, on Flickr Fuji: fall_redbud_XQ1 by D Payne, on Flickr

from canonwatch (was on Canon's web site; now removed): Powershot G5 X specs: Lens: 8.8-36.8mm F1.8-2.8 (equivalent 24-100mm F1.8-2.8) Size: 112mm x 76mm x 44mm Weight: 337g LCD Monitor: 3 inches. 1.04 million dot

This camera seems to have a very narrow dynamic range. When the subject is of slightly higher contrast than average, the highlights are blown. It is especially obvious with white clouds. Bracketing helps but not always as I limit it to +/- 1 step. Is there anything in the setting that I have...

Some mannequins in our downtown. Flirting by D Payne, on Flickr

Hi all As the title says. When my Eos-m is mounted on my tripod I cannot access the battery / card door - it opens a little but not enough. Does anyone know if there are any (cheap non DIY) solutions out there ? Some sort off tripod socket offset plate or similar ? I know there are hand grips...

Just got new G7X this morning from B&H. Only concern I have is front wifi sticker and hanging tag were not affixed to camera, as I have seen in several unboxing videos. Other than that camera appears ok. After looking at images on my card, it looks like maybe 60 images were previously taken...

I recently acquired a well loved Mark II that had some brassing on the corners of the mirror box on top (not shown as I first primed them). I decided to see if I might try to refinish those spots. I looked into matte black paint pens and such. What I decided on was automotive flat black enamel...

EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R DSLR Cameras With a 50.6-megapixel CMOS sensor, the 5DS and 5DS R have just become the highest-resolution full-frame DSLR cameras on the market. Designed with the still photographer in mind, these cameras will deliver the absolute best in image quality with a variety of...

Canon EOS-M3 to be announced next week (Friday). - mirrorlessrumors 24 MP and optional EVF. If they fix the darned AF it could be a great camera.

Took a long weekend to visit our son and his wife in San Francisco (and defrost from the New York winter) and decided to just take my G7X along. Overall, very happy with the results. Still have to get used to some quirks (read "design decisions by Canon") that I got used to with my Olympus...

Hi fellow Canon Eos M users, I have a question for you. I just bought a Canon Eos M. I'm willing to fit other lenses - I'm thinking about a zoom. My question is which lens do you recommend that can AF at a reasonable speed? even adapted ones. I was thinking about the 18-135 is usm but then...

I attended a 3rd birthday party for my nephew yesterday and decided to bring along the G7X to get some pics of the family (as opposed to my Olympus EM10). Overall was very impressed with the responsiveness of the camera. Setup a Custom Mode that automatically set the camera to Av mode...

In my earlier thread - Local Park (first time playing with G7X RAWs) - I mentioned that I had just started playing with some RAW files as Apple updated Aperture for the G7X but was not sure if for my usage if they were significantly better than the great results I was getting from the OOC JPEGs...

These shots were taken a while back - when I first got the G7X - but never really played with them as they were shot RAW and Apple only recently updated OS X to see the G7X files, so I imported some into Aperture and looked at some of the shots again. Still have not decided if - for my usage...

Hi all. I have just recieved an offer from a major electronic shop here in Italy: Canon M + 22mm + flash ex90 + Ef adapter for 199 euros. I'm really tempted but have to ask a few questions. It will not be my main system because I use Nikon D7100 and Olympus E-P5 as main cameras, it should...

Last night we had some family and friends over to celebrate Hanukkah. Anyway, when my son-in-law, daughter and grandson decided it was time to light the menorah, I thought this would be a nice time to grab my G7X (as opposed to my EM10) and get some shots of them. I have the camera set - when...

As of last week, it had been two years and seven months since I bought my last digital camera (the Leica M9P). It is with some regret (well, not really) that I confess to having fallen off that wagon, as I have not only bought a new camera, but a DSLR at that. I am now the proud owner of a shiny...

While going through my archives I've unearthed some shots taken with my first real serious compact, a Canon Powershot S60 I paid a lot of money for then, during a visit to Barcelona several years ago. Even after all these years I'm still impressed with the image quality, considering I only shot...

More than a year later, and I just can't believe Canon never did anything with the M system. If they just put better AF in that little body -- wouldn't have to really change anything else -- and so many people would be using it. People like me who don't own a DSLR anymore, and people with Canon...

Canon PowerShot G7 X Review

Second afternoon out with the G7X. All shots are OOC JPEGs - playing with various settings and filter effects. Getting to like the little guy more and more. Have decided that under certain circumstances (like the bright afternoon light today) I do miss the EVF from the Stylus 1, but not...

OK, let me start off by saying that I have not used a Canon camera (P&S or otherwise) aside from occasionally on vacation (my wife's 5 year old SD960 and that was very infrequently) for quite a while. Had several P&S and more advanced cameras years ago (never a DSLR) but ended up switching to...

Aside from my wife's 5 year old Canon Powershot SD960, I have not regularly used a Canon camera in many years (moved to Olympus and never really looked back), but I really like what I am seeing as far as specs and people's overall impressions of the G7X. My current "small" camera is the...

G12. Cheers, Jock

Seems most of the images I have seen so far with the G7X are in RAW and processed. For most people including myself shooting in JPEG and go with OOC as time permits is more the norm. Curious how the G7X OOC JPEG compares with the RX100 III OOC JPEG.
