From SAR. Crazy rumor site, but among the noise sometimes reliable rumors. Which this sounds like it is.
Sounds like the Sigma APS-C lenses are coming to E/X/L/RF mounts, with announcement on June 17th.

The 17-40mm/f1.8 might not be wide (or long) enough to be the replacement for the EF-S 15-85mm that I'm waiting for. But f/1.8 Maybe I should have a second standard-zoom?!
And a 12mm/f1.4... Perfect for astro photography if I ever manage to get started on that?

Canon has been working hard to design more compact autofocus lenses that move quickly and quietly without sacrificing image quality. That’s no easy task, especially when you're trying to control large lens elements like those found in the RF 100–500mm f/4.5–7.1L IS USM.

Hi All, does anyone know whether Canon extension (/makro) rings are in the works for the R system, and if not, any third party recommendations....?

Bjarke.

Canon continues to develop optical designs which utilize internal zoom setups. Internal zoom is the favoured design for a lot of shooters, as there is always continuity with the lens when shooting with it. Telescopic zoom lenses can save you a lot of space in the bag, but there are compromises when using one.

When you see the power of IA noise reduction systems like the ON1 Denoise, you wonder why we're looking for cameras with high NOISE/ ISO performances

Here's an example of a picture take with my R3 at 25.600 iso .. it's very noised but ON1 Denoise made miracles

Maybe I should have bought an R5 with its 45 megapixels?

I love street photography in Edinburgh, always plently going on, amazing sights etc. This capture however was of a lady that caught my eye - sad expression and even sadder as she turned to enter what is a posh bar/lunch location...

Folks I've only in the last year bought a Canon R5. I have 2 official batteries (one that came with camera, other bought in addition). I don't see me upgrading to Mark 2 any time soon. So should I get more batteries so I can enjoy the camera for years to come? I don't tend to buy third-parties as they are generally poor for longevity. Or should 2

Canon LP-E6NH last?​

It looks like Sigma has 3 lens announcements coming later this month or in June. We're going to see one full-frame lens, and that'll be the 200mm f/2. Sadly, we won't be getting that for the RF mount.

Sebastião Salgado, regarded as one of the world's greatest documentary photographers, has died at the age of 81.

Sebastião, thank you for your epic photos.

If you’ve ever cracked a screen on your Canon camera or wanted to test-drive a big white lens without dropping thousands of dollars, you might’ve considered signing up for Canon Canon Professional Services. But is it worth it?

I’ve noticed during a current trip that the control wheel on the back of the R5II has become sticky when turned - ie it doesn’t spin freely. I compared this to an example in Bic Camera that spun freely.

Anyone else noticed similar?

After a trivial (by my standards) drop from about 2.5 feet (it landed flat on the ground), my RF 200-800 broke in half. I have dropped numerous Canon products over the years, and this was the first one that broke. The lens is 14 months old. Canon is charging me $959 USD (half the cost of a new one) to fix it. I was hoping that they would give me better support, given the design flaw of this lens. For those of you that are skeptical there is a design flaw: if you saw what little was holding the two halves of that lens together, you might change your mind. I have no complaints about the (prior) performance of the lens. I will never take this lens on another trip without having my 100-500 as a backup. If you are new to this issue, see:

Post your images from RF-S10-18mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM.
This ultra-wide angle lens proves a compact, portable package for a fair price. A FF equivalent of 16-29mm offered in such a small size makes it a perfect travel companion.
The aperture is not wide and you need some light. The optics is far from L quality. But I am positively surprised, what results you can get with it.

Taken the The National Museum Of Scotland - Canon R5, 24-70mm F2.8L at F2.8

As we know, Canon surprised us with the RF 28-70mm f/2.8 IS STM in September and followed it up with an RF 16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM in January. That gave us two small and affordable constant aperture zoom lenses for full-frame cameras.
