I could never get my copy of the EF 24-105 to focus consistently on a 5D3. I spent hours and hours trying to calibrate it in camera. I could never get it to focus accurately at both long and short distances and different focal lengths. I sold it and went mirrorless. I don't miss calibrating...

It’s a lovely pic, really great work :-)

I worked in Runcorn for 10 years and I'm shocked that something so visually appealing can come from a WA7 postcode :-)

I sold my 5D3 to MBP. I was a grey import, and I declared it as such. No issues. I bought the EOS R from Panamoz and once again, service was great. I bought the RF35mm from Amazon, as price wise, it was similar to Panamoz.

Got my R w/RF 24-105 + RF 35mm f1.8 this week. Coming from a 5D3 it's going to take some adjusting to! Initial thoughts.... Low light focusing is amazing. This was one of the main reasons for switching and it's delivered what's promised. It looks like if it can't focus, there isn't enough...

I shoot Canon, I've looked at Sony, and there is a lot to like, but the cost of the lenses and selling / rebuying and time investment in learning a new system means that for the moment I'll stick with Canon. If Sigma / Tamron start producing lenses for Sony, them I'd consider a change. The Sony...

I've owned both, but kept the Sigma. I had to perform some minor manual adjust using the dock, but once adjusted, it's been great. I didn't do much scientific testing, but I just found the images with the Sigma have really special quality to them.I wanted to like the Canon, as the IS would be...

I've never had a problem with Adobe's pricing, but this has definitely made me reconsider using Premiere. I don't really do much video editing, and I ditched Vegas to use Premiere as it was only and extra £7 per month to have Premiere on top of Lightroom and Photoshop. Jacking the prices up by...

Beware, the student edition subscription has gone from £15 to £25 p/m. I went to cancel and found they wanted £137 cancellation fee :-(. There was an option for continuing exactly the same plan for £16! I selected this and got a refund on the payment they had just taken for the £25. I know I...

Nice work Neil! Sounded like a very balanced review to me. It looks like a really nice camera.I do think Canon have a tough sell to get people to upgrade from a 5d3 though.

Agreed, it would be nice for both owners to have their own thread ;-)

It does not disappoint me at all, I bought a Canon camera in Boston MA, and it developed a fault. Canon UK fixed it no problem. Things may have changed, but back then, it was no problem.

Unless things have changed, the warranty is global, so buying in the US when you are over there is fine. It's only a problem if you buy from the US and have it delivered to a UK address.

Perhaps I'm reading too much into it, but a few days after the launch of a 5Dx, it's pretty amazing to see so little activity on this thread from people who have bought this camera. As I recall, it was a feeding frenzy when the 5D3 came out? FWIW, unfortunately for me, the price vs. improvement...

Sound good Owen....I think what your trying to say is that I need to change my wife, not my camera ;-)
