Welcome at EOS Magazine July-September 2021 Issue
EOS magazine readers are early adopters. We know that you love the technical side of your photography, but in this issue we also have a more quantitative analysis. The results of our survey (see pages 12 to 13) – our first since 2014 – show that 19% of those who responded use an R-series model as their primary camera. And the majority of this fi gure is made up of the EOS R5 or R6 cameras (14%).
While the M-series mirrorless cameras have not been a massive hit in the UK, they are very popular in Japan. However, the uptake of the R-series has perhaps caught even Canon by surprise, as the company has revised its projection for camera sales for 2021 upwards by 100,000 units.
Canon is clearly committed to mirrorless. We are being fed, bit by bit, tantalising facts and figures regarding the soon-to-be-released EOS R3. See pages 22 to 25 for our summary of what we know for certain so far, along with the fi rm announcement of three more RF lenses. Mirrorless cameras are quite different beasts to DSLR models. Wildlife photographers particularly are commenting how they are now able to achieve a higher percentage of pin-sharp images. If you are wondering how mirrorless cameras can boast several thousand focus points while even a topof- the-range EOS DSLR can only manage 61, it should all become clear after reading the article, ‘Stay focused’, on pages 40 to 45.
Over the last few issues it has been heartening to hear how you have continued to enjoy your photography in these testing times. We have been afforded a unique opportunity to reassess things… in fact, everything really. Professional photographer Patrick Stubbs has reconsidered his style, approach and subject matter, unleashing new-found creativity (see pages 14 to 19). Perhaps over the same period you have turned your photographic hobby into a new career? If so, we’d love to hear from you.
We are delighted to announce that we are very cautiously, very carefully, restarting our EOS Training Academy courses from 21 June. Initially, we will only be running practical events for small groups of up to five delegates that can be conducted outside.
