Latest model of Canon cameras

It looks a bit small to hold even 4x5 film! What kind of movements
does it have?

You mean that some twits managed to burn a hole through the metal
shutter in the EOS RT or EOS-1n RS, or just the cloth shutter curtain on
an older FD mount slr (this is also a problem with cloth FP shutter RF
cameras: Leica, Canon, Zorki, Fed, etc)?
The same damage sould be happening to almost all P&S digicams today
(instead it would be the sensor getting burned), as the sensor is always
exposed to allow live-view on the LCD and/or EVF.

I remember our local camera store (and this is a small town) had at
least two people come in who had a hole burned in the focal plane
shutter of their Pellix.
As for current P&S models, most of them I've seen have some kind of
cover which covers the lens when the camera is turned off. I don't
know...I use a DSLR and don't really care about EVFs.

Complete utter and total nonsense from a well known troll.

Fair enough, but I'm curious about the (slr styled) EVF cams.
Most of them don't seem to have an external cover that can slide across
(and protect lens and sensor).
So if one were careless enough to leave it lens-up in bright sun I
wonder if damage may result?

Is the shutter of the Pellix cloth or metal?

Calling themselves "John E"?
I've never heard of you nor seen you post (or cross-post in this case)
to this NG (alt.photography).

The Canon Pellix, EOS RS and EOS RT were a realy good try at
ultra-highspeed photography using the existing shutter design (used in
other Canon SLR cameras at the time) and tended to suffer the accidental
shutter damage which Randall described.
I was just wondering if EVF cams with fixed (non-rectracting) lenses
suffered similar damage to their sensor if left lens-up in bright sunlight.
My two primary cameras are both DSLR cameras, so I have no first-hand
experience of current EVF cams.

I don't know. The lens would have to be focused at infinity. But I know
that these sensors don't particularly like to be pointed at the sun for
very long.

Is the shutter of the Pellix cloth or metal?

That was too long ago for me to remember.

I have a gut feeling that the Bayer CFA could get burnt unevenly off the
sensor surface, leading to some funky looking images.
Or it could just burn a hole into the sensor, just like the shutter of a
Pellix.

I did half-heartedly Google for the answer, but couldn't find a
definitive website that would say one way or the other (metal or cloth).

Your post is OT to this discussion thread.
It's also taken you two weeks and over 20 posts in a thread to complain
about cross-posting.
If you have no desire to follow this discussion, single click on the

What on earth prompted the inclusion of a DSP group in this thread? As
for two weeks, you can see that we're patient and hopeful, but both
patience and hope eventually dissipate.
