Canon shows of APS-C dual-lens fisheye and stereoscopic lenses at CES

[Canon Rumors Guy]

We are just catching up on CES after taking some time away to travel. The big consumer electronics show used to be a big deal when the PowerShot line-up was selling in the millions, we’d usually see a new G camera and a slew of other compact goodies. Those days are long gone. At this

The tape makes me think maybe it is more than just a prototype.
There would be no reason to put any label on a prototype that they do not want to show off.

These are definitely completed products that will make it to market at some point.

If the software is anything like DPP4 then Apple might have a slight edge…

At the 2:30 mark Hugh gets shown these lenses, with the case removed:

Looks like Canon isn't exactly that conservative, lagging behind camera maker, like you can read in masses of bashing comments on DPRev. Well, everybody who knows about Canon's history knows this already

Whenever Canon does something first it is called a weird niche product that no one needs.

Or gets criticized (DPR forum) for features it has or should have got. ("Nobody needs a 24-105 F/2,8, they should have made an F/4 or a 35-150" etc...) and so on and so on.
I'm waiting for the R1 criticism (no global shutter, no reduced DR, no native 250 ISO )
Sorry, I forgot. Criticism has already started here on this forum, before the R1's specs have become public !

The integrated grip makes it too large!!!!!

Might want to change "OF" to "OFF" in your headline.

I do wonder how well the RF 5.2mm f/2.8L Fisheye sells. It must be selling decently if they are rolling more lenses like that out.

The imminent launch of Apple Vision Pro and the amount of money Facebook spends on the metaverse likely play a role as well.

Canon should show a decent APS-C standard zoom.

Yep - when Apple gets involved, you generally know its heading for the mass market and, in this case, there will be a surge in demand for content (and the tools to produce it).

 

[Brown]

Will there be any more PowerShot compact cameras released?

 

[SnowMiku]

It's good that APS-C is getting some good unique lenses, I wasn't expecting that. It gives me hope that they will convert some of the EF-M lenses to RF-S such as the EF-M 22mm and 32mm.

I remain unconvinced about mass-market appeal for prolonged headset wearing, but I am interested in capturing more of the 3D nature of things. Especially for things like dragonfly close-ups, but I suspect it will not be suitable for macro purposes.

Or too small or too average-sized...
Trolls are so inventive!

Do you know any kids between 10-14? The Oculus/Meta Quest comes off when the parental restriction kicks in or the battery runs out, and not before.
