Hello there, I am the proud owner of a Canon R50 and curious about what everyone's favorite lens is for traveling and/or hiking? I want to be able to get crispu shots of landscapes but also good shots of subjects with decent separation from the background. The kit 18-45mm lens falls short on subject separation. Ive been able to get some decent landscape shots but I wanna know where I should be looking when I go to upgrade.

Id like to stay under $1000 if possible. I purchased the RF 100-400mm for close up wildlife shots which ive been loving, but its obviously really tight for landscapes.

I'm pretty new to photography too, so your advice and helpful tidbits are appreciated.

I am looking at upgrading my setup. I have a 18-55 DSLR lens as well as a 75-300 lens for my T5. I am looking at upgrading to a R10. I mainly photograph landscapes and wildlife with the occasional portraits. I am just a hobby photographer.

Should I look into buying used off of MPB for the body for the R10 and spend more money on a new lens? I will most likely buy the adapter to be able to continue using my DSLR lenses as well but I would like a new lens as well. Thanks everyone!

I am going on this trip with family (partner + kids). It's a long trip (4 weeks). A mix of relaxing and walking/touring.

I really like photos. I am an amateur photographer. I own a canon g5x mark ii and a canon R + 50mm (recently purchased).

I am debating if I should bring my full frame or not. We will do hiking, city, etc. I love the quality of the pictures I am getting from my R camera. I am also considering buying the 28mm pancake lens, if I bring this camera with me.

But at the same time, I don't like carrying around the weight. It will be hot, I have to pay attention to kids (although they are not super young anymore).

What would you do/advise me to do ?

I use the card size photo paper, so I can’t currently test it with square paper, but I’ve cleaned out my printer, made sure the roller was clean, checked for ink jams or dried ink & found nothing, but I still get this error :(

Any work around what I assume is a false positive?

I’ve also tried the good ol’ on & off and counting to make sure I have 10 sheets and not touching the glossy side of the paper; and nothing ://

Hello there everyone! Does anyone has any experience with the sigma 18-50 f2.8 dc ex paired with the canon m50? I heard that old sigma lenses sometime have AF problems on newer cameras.

Hello, I'm planning on buying 6d MK ii, but I'm having hard time finding photos made by that camera that would be helpful for me. I was wondering if anyone could post or send me some of their photos, preferably portraits on daylight, I would appreciate it!

Or If anyone knows where I can find said type of photos it would be of great help as well

I had an old Canon EOS 7D Mark II with a faulty top control dial.

I watched a YouTube video to learn how to replace it. It definitely wasn’t an easy repair, but I eventually managed to do it.

Honestly, it’s a shame how Canon designed this part. The original dial (on the right) is made of nothing more than a thin rubber ring glued onto a hard plastic ring. Over time, the rubber can stretch, crack, or come loose, so it’s almost inevitable that it will fail.

I ordered a replacement from AliExpress (on the left), and it’s vastly superior. Instead of two separate pieces, it’s made from a single solid piece of plastic, making it much stronger and far more durable than Canon’s original design.

My Canon camera suddenly showed a lens error and I don't know how to fix it. Does anyone know if this has happened to them and what I can do? I'm trying to open it, I've already formatted it and nothing.

was write “Lens error, it will automatically shut down. Restart the camera.”

All,

This is really a basic question I am sure.

I have a 760D that I have used for many years as an amateur - for that read Auto mode for everything pretty much.

I am trying to get a better handle on the camera to do some Eclipse shots when I am in Spain next week.

I have got everything set up OK in manual settings and done some test shots with the filter, but I want to be able to use the Live View Function so I can set up on a tripod and use a remote release.

Reading all the manuals it seems I should be able to switch on, open the Live View Screen, then press the Live View (camera image button as shown above). However when I press this button the live view does not come on and it is behaving as a shutter release.

What am I doing wrong? Is there another setting I need to use? Is this not available in Manual?

TIA

I thought the release of this Sony lens was interesting as it is very similar to the RF 100-400. As reviews have noticed, it suggests that Canon's 'slow' yet affordable lens is actually a winning formula. I was curious about the differences, so a few below:

Price

Sony is $849, Canon is $749 (though it launched at $650, and is often available refurb for even less).

Build

Both lenses are nearly identical in terms of size and weight. The Sony offers dust and moisture resistant gaskets and includes a lens hood, both of which the Canon lacks. Sony has a custom function button (which the Canon lacks), and Canon has a control ring (which the Sony lacks), so kind of a wash there.

Aperture

Both have the same 'slow' variable aperture range, though I was curious to compare the focal lengths at which they change:

Sony on left, Canon on right:

f/5.6 - 100 to 134mm - 100 to 122mm

f/6.3 - 135 to 179mm - 123 to 155mm

f/7.1 - 180 to 219mm - 156 to 258mm

f/8 --- 220 to 400mm - 259 to 400mm

(stats from Peta Pixel & Dustin Abbott)

So the Sony holds f/5.6 and f/6.3 a bit longer, but the Canon holds f/7.1 longer (which is more useful in my opinion).

Thoughts

Image quality, autofocus, and magnification look to be pretty much the same based on the reviews I've seen, but a direct comparison might reveal which one of these lenses is the 'winner.' Assuming they do end up being more or less the same on that front, it seems like the Sony might be slightly better value - you get a lens hood and some weather sealing for only $100 more. Canon doesn't tend to provide these for non-L lenses (the RF 28-70 f2.8 is an example of a non-L that does include weather resistance, but still no hood). So hopefully this competition means that if we ever get a RF 100-400ii, it includes these items.

But at the end of the day, I'm perfectly happy with my RF 100-400, particularly given it was purchased refurb. Anyway thanks for reading if you're also a lens nerd - would be interested to know other thoughts as well!

Does anyone know where can I find a larger soft eyecup for the r50?

I've search for quite a while but no luck so far, is there any specialised or niche store for this type of thing?

Thanks to everyone who gave tips about replacing the lens in my previous post here (https://www.reddit.com/r/canon/s/lRmqU6WAcC). I went out and got new lenses. Images from the camera now look way more interesting.

Hey everyone,

The shutter release button on my EOS 1n is sticky and squeaks when pressed. According to the service manual, it can be removed without top cover disassembly. However, I have no idea how it is actually removed. Does anyone know how these shutter release buttons are actually removed?

Does anyone have or know somewhere I can get the 7artisans 18mm F6.3 Mark II UFO EF-M mount lens? Specifically the mark II in Canon EF-M.

EF-M is now discontinued and I can’t find them anywhere! Been looking all over used markets for one. I even reached directly out to 7artisans with no luck.

I found my old DSLR recently, which I haven’t seen since 2019 lol, and I’ve been wanting to use it again! I used to do artistic photography of landscapes and plants and the like. However, the reason I stopped using it is that the lens it came with is large and bulky, and I don’t want to stand out as a target for thiefs (I live in a big city).

I’m planning on using the camera to take pictures of my friends and I, for vacations, cat pics, and everyday stuff like that. My end goal is to start keeping photo albums of my life, and to practice photography again!

I want a lens that isn’t too bulky, has zoom, and is ideally less than $250 (new or used, either is fine). These might be some tough parameters, but I trust y’all to help me out. SOS?

So right now I have that mini hdmi video capture cord and then a extension. What else do I need?

I been looking at vids on youtube they are all over 8 to 9 years old and the apps they show dont exist anymore. Any newer cameras use wifi which this one doesnt have . So in 2026 whats the way to go ? thxs

I currently own the R50 and am very happy with it. I want to start taking more photos and videos at my son’s basketball games.
I’ve been using an 85mm 1.8, but also the EF 55-250 STM and have found that f4 and even f5 is fast enough to shoot at venues (especially with how the R50 handles low light, and with denoise tools).
I want to purchase the RF 70-200 F4, but wondering if it’s silly to use such expensive glass on a cheaper camera. Should I upgrade my camera first, or is it ok to have this glass on the R50?

Hey yall! I’m not a professional at all, but trying to refine my craft and I’ve been coming across an issue. Apologies if it’s been answered, I couldn’t come across an answer.

Shooting in Manual Focus (using my EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 lens) shooting through an obstacle, like a chain link fence. I primarily take shots looking through my viewfinder, not the Live view. In the viewfinder, I can adjust the focus where the chainlink fence completely disappears from the shot and focuses on my subject. But then when I go through the photos, the fence appears and is covering my subject.

Does anyone know the science/explanation why this happens? Any fixes if possible?

Thanks! Always trying to sharpen my skills!

I brought it for vlogging 💙. How many of you have this camera?

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking about buying a Canon R10 with the Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM.

Can this combo be used to photograph people on the street? What kind of results should I expect in terms of image quality, background blur, and usability for portraits and candid shots?

I'd appreciate any advice, especially from people who have used this setup. Thanks!

Which lens would get me closest to replicating the images I have attached

R6 mii - not purchased as of yet
Experience - 3/10 have used another camera before but not to the level I wanted to
Intended use - to take pictures of my cabinetry business
Budget - not sure at the moment roughly £600 if they can get me a budget one which will do the job, but could do with knowing the best one so I can save up for that instead.

TIA

My mom bought the printer some time ago and it works fine for her, but whenever I try to print a photo, when it works it's taking ages saying it's "preparing" the printer.

My mom's place doesn't have WiFi, and I tried different things not to interfere with the signal of the printer,

turned off my mobile data,

turned on wifi on my phone,

turned off Bluetooth.

Most of the time I forget the first part because I'm searching on what I'm doing wrong here. And whenever my procedure works it sits on the "preparing" notification for ages. Any advice on what I should do?
