The lens itself is very fast and I think the bokeh is nicer and more creamy than that of the EF 50mm.Īnd the most important thing: the quality of the photos is very high. I find the control ring on the RF lens surprisingly useful for setting up a custom function yourself. The electronic viewfinder is fairly life-changing because you immediately see your exposure change in real time with your settings. The ergonomics are very nice, which I am used to from Canon, but even better. I need a flash significantly less often and the images are very clean for such low light. What is also impressive is low light performance.

If this is not the case, it is due to a too long shutter speed. Actually, just about all photos are sharp, and much sharper than I'm used to. My ratio of sharp photos has increased enormously. You can also easily switch between faces/eyes in various ways. I shoot a lot of cats and the eye AF works just as well on that. The camera finds the eye of both humans and animals, and continues to focus on it. But in many cases you don't even have to move the focus point yourself, because of the face tracking and eye AF. I have never been able to move a focus point so quickly. The touch and drag function is surprisingly useful and intuitive. With focus points over 100% of the screen, focus&recompose, which made my photos always just a little less sharp, is finally a thing of the past. My previous camera (also Canon) feels like a toy compared to this. Coming from an entry-level DSLR, I'm slightly shocked at how good this camera is.
