In-body image stabilisation

Because that's what manufacturers state? But it's useless without a reference so everyone is always looking for a reference to determine the zoom or how much of a scene will be visible when using it. They do the conversion without even realising it.

To be honest, I used to try and think in angles when first starting out and focal length had no "meaning" to me.

I think it may be more common for beginners to try think in angles but to be honest once you've played with a bunch of different focal lengths, you don't think in angles.

You need to remember field of view is only one parameter the focal length determines (in combination with sensor size). There are other factors such as compression you would consider when picking a focal length as an example.

Well it's more seeing the scene in my mind than thinking of angles per se. But my point is focal lengths may be used for everything but they're always converted so the parameters can be stated directly.

In any case I thought my mind was made up but now the R8 has also entered my view. You are correct about the lenses and Canon does not seem like they'll ever take APS-C seriously with only 4 lenses where M only managed 8 before being discontinued. The only issue is that even the R8 goes for R38k compared to the R7 with lens at R33k with the R10 at R20k and the R50 and R14k so I might even consider that with the RF 24-105 lens to get me through until full frame becomes more affordable or the R8 drops in price as the next lineup enters the fray.

But then there's what this guy has to say, though I don't know how accurate his methodology is.

What does the number of RF-s lenses matter when there are plenty of RF lenses that can also be used?

Yes.

EDIT: Buying APS-C only lenses is a waste of money if you have any aspirations of ever going full frame. You'll lose money and have to pay higher prices for the L glass in the future.

Wondering the odds of them releasing a R7 mk2 anytime soon or if I'm going to have to suck it up and get a R6 Mk2 in the meantime.
 
Is Canon still blocking 3rd parties from making RF mount lenses?
Because native RF glass was outrageously expensive last I looked.

No rumours of anything substantial wrt APS-C in the next year. I assume you're looking to reuse your old batteries?

Oh wait, there is an R7 on the way but it's a cinema model.

We're all curious what new Canon cameras are being launched in 2023. I have searched the internet and found all Canon rumors.

Did they ever block them or was it just not feasible? I know when it comes to flash 3rd parties had to reverse engineer the protocol as documentation isn't readily available with Canon. As it is with everything regarding cameras it's usually proprietary.

As another resort you can get EF and EF-S compatible lenses and it actually offers an advantage as you can easily change filters at the back end without them being tied to a lens.

No, my LP-E6N batteries will be compatible either way. As much as I would prefer my second body to be a APS-C, I 100% need a camera with a grip.
 
So I have gotten the answer to the 45mm vs 150mm lens. Apparently according to DPReview the 45mm is a bit soft around the edges. So unless you want the softness or absolutely need a small lens it's obsolete and the 150mm doesn't lack anything it has. The 150mm covering more focal length will actually result in better aperture coverage at shorter focal lengths.
