RF 70-200mm F/4L IS Review

Here is a new Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L IS review. This lens is a recent addition to the RF lens lineup and has a very compact size.

Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L IS at a glance:

  • RF-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format
  • Aperture Range: f/4 to f/32
  • Four Ultra-Low Dispersion Elements
  • Air Sphere and Fluorine Coatings
  • Dual Nano USM AF System
  • Optical Image Stabilizer
  • Customizable Control Ring
  • Weather-Sealed Construction

Well known reviewer and Youtuber Christopher Frost posted his Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L IS review, and you can watch it in the video below. He says:

A really exciting (and very expensive) new RF mount lens arrives for Canon EOS R mirrorless cameras. Can it offer great image quality as well as such a small size?

I don’t think the RF 70-200mm f/4L IS is very expensive. Sure it is not a budget lens but neither one of Canon’s boutique lenses.

Canon Prepares For Increased Homeworking, Releases The Canon Posture Fit Camera

Canon Posture Fit

The global pandemic led to more people working from home. It seems that Canon is taking this in account by releasing a new concept camera called the Posture Fit.

The Canon Posture Fit, Canon’s latest concept camera, recognizes when you sit down at the desk the Posture Fit is placed. From there it will periodically check how you are seating. After an hour it advises to stand up and to take a break.

The video below tells the story of Canon’s concept cameras and which ideas and concepts led to them. If you want to just see the presentation of the Posture Fit jump to minute 24:20.

Says Canon about their concept cameras:

Our relationship with cameras is radically transforming. Canon designers work hard to experience the mindset of customers, and with a strong commitment to understanding, have come up with many innovative new designs. This video seminar tells the story of how designers in charge of the IVY REC, PowerShot ZOOM and Posture Fit Device developed the design of these products by understanding users’ passion through opinion gathering at trade expos and other activities.

Canon EOS R6 Review And Image Comparison With EOS 5D Mark III

Canon Eos R6 Review

Here is a new Canon EOS R6 review. I am glad to see that there are increasingly more reviewers discussing the R6.

Gary Gough‘s Canon EOS R6 review on video below compares the images of the R6 with the EOS 5D Mark III. That might look a bit like apples to oranges but still it is interesting. Both are all around work horses, so something in common there is.

The EOS R6 sports many features shared with the EOS R5, a class leading autofocus system for instance, and the R6 has an imaging sensor derived not less than from the flagship EOS-1D X Mark III. For more Canon EOS R6 review stuff see here. User manuals are available for download for the EOS R5 and the EOS R6.

EOS R6 at a glance:

  • 20mp Full-frame CMOS sensor
  • Sensor-based image stabilisation (IBIS) – works with any lens
  • 3.69m dot electronic viewfinder (EVF), 0.76x magnification
  • 3.0inch vari-angle touch-screen, 1.62m dots
  • 12 / 20fps continuous shooting (mechanical / electronic)
  • ISO100 to ISO102400, Low ISO50, High ISO204800
  • 6072 autofocus points/positions

Canon EOS R6 Real World Review (fantastic option for photographers)

Canon Eos R6 Review

Here is a new Canon EOS R6 review. The little sibling of the more acclaimed EOS R5 doesn’t get all the attention it deserves.

Jared Polin posted his full Canon EOS R6 review, and wonders if the EOS R6 is the “ultimate hybrid mirrorless camera.

This is the Real World Review of the Canon EOS R6. After using this camera for a few months, I have to say it’s a fantastic option from Canon for photographers looking to get into the mirrorless camera world. Where the EOS R5 may be too expensive for some, the R6 falls into a much better price point…even if it’s still a few hundred more then I would like. The one thing the EOS R system needs, third party glass and more affordable RF lenses.

The EOS R6 flies a bit under the radar and doesn’t get the attention it deserves. There are many features that the R6 shares with the EOS R5, a class leading autofocus system for instance, and the R6 has an imaging sensor derived not less than from the flagship EOS-1D X Mark III. For more Canon EOS R6 review stuff see here. User manuals are available for download for the EOS R5 and the EOS R6.
