For positive, there might be a small share who leap ship, however promoting and changing an entire system is a really costly transfer.
R mount permits a transition to RF lenses over time which is an enormous profit and why I migrated to R mount however I might have simply performed the identical to Sony utilizing Metabones tailored EF lenses after which migrating to Sony lenses over time. Tailored EF lenses on R mount is seamless and higher than the Sony possibility however in the end nonetheless changing an entire system over time. Complicating the migration for me was the price of a brand new underwater housing which is one other USD1700 so shifting to Sony/Nikon was line ball for me cost-wise. My previous 5Div housing remains to be unsold after a yr available on the market. Covid has positively affected this.
Canon customers wouldn’t have jumped to Sony for five years if not for Metabones/and so forth adapters permitting EF lens utilization.
Each new digicam from Sony, Nikon and Canon will for some time provide one thing distinctive, or have some efficiency achieve over the competitors, however inside a yr or in order that benefit is normally misplaced, as the assorted manufacturers play catch up.
True, however Canon was fairly late to the mirrorless social gathering as Sony’s A7/A7R had a 5 yr time benefit for customers to modify. Even now, the RP/R our bodies have been and nonetheless are a hybrid DLSR/mirrorless providing by reusing 4-5 yr previous sensors. Though the RP/R have been launched 2-3 years previous there are a number of alternative rumours and are clearly priced decrease than respective 6Dii/5Div our bodies regardless that they’re arguably higher in lots of facets. The “yr or so” benefit could also be more true now however actually wasn’t for five years.
So I imagine that most individuals will stick with their present model, and transition steadily from their DSLR glass to native mirrorless glass. In some instances Canon customers in all probability retain their EF glass indefinitely –
I imagine that there might be a minimum of 10 years of RF and EF lenses used on R our bodies. RF lenses are usually priced increased however have some distinctive benefits over their EF counterparts. I would not substitute my EF16-35mm/4 lens with the RF14-35mm/4 merely as a result of elevated price.
e.g. there’s little level in getting the RF 400mm F2.8L or the RF 600mm F4L in the event that they already personal the EF model, as a result of the lenses are similar other than the mount.
Not fairly similar. Sure, the welded adapter offers extra rigidity however there are different benefits:
– compatibility with RF 1.4/2x teleconverters
– elevated CIPA picture stabilisation
– R mount connectivity permitting sooner AF by delivering extra energy to the AF motors
however I agree that optically there isn’t a profit to improve in case you at the moment have the EF model
The additional decision of the A1 and Z9 are actually tempting, however I believe Canon customers who’re spending that amount of cash will simply be affected person and await the R1.
We’re assuming that the R1 might be excessive res/8k. I believe that it might be a mis-step for Canon to not have this decision however historically the 1D sequence by no means had excessive res sensors.
Many present 1D customers will leap to the R3 for its apparent advantages over the 1Dxiii however will they then purchase the R1?
I am shocked that the A1’s worth has not deterred reputation particularly because the A9ii’s worth is a lot cheaper if the audience is simply sports activities/photojournalists.
It is not clear to me what the R1’s market area of interest might be. It might be a R5 on steroids ie combining excessive res/sports activities AF/world shutter/16 bit monster that we are able to solely drool over as a result of excessive worth
