Canon EOS R system announced
#39
Unfortunately, the AF tracking seems sub-par.... :-(

Hope we will see more controlled tests soon. BTW, the same sub-par AF tracking performance seems to be inherent to Nikon Z6/Z7, too.

1. The sensor this new one is based on indeed is only 2 years old. Typing up a silly line about "chip tuning guys" and calling the sensor "obsolete" just makes you look like what you accuse me of... fanboyism of Sony or the reverse of Canon fanboyism. Great going. That you may get aroused by high DR measurements is fine, but I have no issues what so ever with the sensor of my ageing EOS 6D. I am in pursuit of making beautiful photos, not geeking out on pulling shadows into the unattractive light and make images look like sets of bad science fiction movies. So yeah, keep typing your FUD if it makes you happy.

2. Like I said, I am pursuit of making beautiful images. If you place importance in eye tracking, I question whether you are a photographer. Why you don't believe in firmware updates is a mystery.

4. What is the part of your "argument" that is "valid"?

5. If you want to pretend not to understand that if you take the lens off, the sensor is most prone to catching dust... And of course closing down the shutter will prevent dust from being able to fall on it. When you open the shutter again, most dust will fall and get caught on the bottom, just like it gets caught on current cameras. Again, just keep your FUD coming if that floats your boat.


I was hesitating whether to reply to this childish ranting, absolutely unable to follow the mental line, not speaking of the argument logic.

1) No. Despite the marketing efforts to promote the mark iv sensor as new, it actually continues to stay with the about 5-year-old 0.5 µm process generation. While the use of a mature fab likely gives Canon a competitive edge via lower manufacturing costs, given the geometric constraints of 0.5 µm design rules, Canon seems content to hang around this sensor design for recent FF sensors through the use of shared pixels. The performance of this sensor was certainly best for Canon in 2016 but was certainly worse than the already old Nikon or Sony sensors with more advanced designs with fully integrated DACs . And again for those with slow understanding: Just the fact of the exact age determination of the (old) R sensor doesn't reduce the validity of my initial argument at all: Putting an old sensor from Mark IV into the new release of the whole new camera concept is quite embarrassing IMHO. 

2) Well, that is nice of course but we were talking strictly about the technical aspects.

4) I think this is obvious. Please try to use your brain again.

5) Oh my god, elementary school physics... OK:  Let's imagine dust particles, which are mostly lighter than air, being attached to the shutter, about 5mm far from the sensor. Now you perform the exposure or the full 8fps burst mode with extremely high-velocity of the shutter plates the dust is resting on. What happens? You may be surprised but most of the dust is spread inside the chamber, flying in all directions (Hint: The shutter passed over the kinetic energy to those particles). Those particles which do not get sprayed onto sensor will be spread in the other parts of the camera chamber. Special note for big thinkers: They are still inside the camera. ;-) The sensor vibration self-cleaning units, which you are mistakenly referring to, basically works by shaking the dust with slight ultrasonic vibrations, but that is a different case that Eos R has nothing to do with.

Have a nice day and don't take yourself that seriously, you are just causing harm to yourself :-)
