Greetings, still learning the ins and out of my (relatively) new Canon R8. I am struggling with one specific operation, where the behavior is not as expected: Using AE lock in combination with moving the autofocus point. The sequence of steps is as f...

I recently upgraded from Fuji APS-C to a Canon R8 mostly due to the improved autofocus. The difference is truly staggering, I am consistently amazed at the R8 autofocus speed and reliability, regardless of the subject. With such a great AF system (es...

I am extremely pleased with the performance of my new Canon R8. I have started shooting wildlife and birds in flight with the RF 100-400mm, and am very happy with the results (I am not a pro, but a happy amateur). I have also been watching quite a fe...

Happy new owner of a Canon R8, still learning. I switched from Fuji and had a very good experience with my Godox TT350F flash - lightweight, powerful, tons of features and affordable. After reading the R8 manual and some online reviews, I'm wondering...

Greetings, quite frankly I am not terribly impressed with the EL-100, especially for the price when compared to the TT-350. It only has two setting (24mm and 50mm), has no bounce card, no built-in diffuser and no auto-zoom. I'm an amateur and not ver...
