Another Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS review. The Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS has to be an amazing lens, given that all reviewers are so positive.

Brendan van Son went to Canyon de Chelly in Northern Arizona to see how the RF 70-200mm f/2.8L “feels, works, and how the images look from out in the field”. Enjoy.

You can follow Brendan van Son on Twitter and Facebook.

The RF 70-200mm f/2.8K IS has been called the “first killer lens” for the EOS R and indispensable for professional photographers. More Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS review stuff is listed here, and it’s worth to have a look also to the teardown.

A Sum Up Of What To Expect From Canon For The EOS R Line-up In 2021

Canon Eos Line-up Eos R7 Eos R10
View Post

More RF mount cameras are coming, so let’s sum up what we can expect Canon to bring to the EOS R line-up.

Please note that you won’t find new rumors in the list below. It is what most likely Canon will announce for the EOS R lineup in 2021:

  • Canon EOS RP replacement. Another entry level camera to be announced, said to be less expensive than the EOS RP. At least one Canon exec thinks that’s possible.
  • A camera to sit between the EOS RP replacement and the EOS R6. An EOS R Mark II seems to be unlikely.
  • An EOS R camera with APS-C imaging sensor. While we still have some perplexities about this rumor, it seems now to be assessed. Still, not sure if it makes any sense given the EOS M series.
  • A high resolution EOS R camera, maybe a high res EOS R5 version. No doubts here. This one is coming and it seems to already undergo field testing. It might have a sensor resolution of around 80MP.
  • And finally, we also expect Canon to release a flagship tier EOS R body, something that’s equivalent to the EOS-1D X Mark III.
  • To conclude, Cinema cameras with RF mount might also be on Canon’s 2021 release radat. A Cinema EOS C50 and EOS C90 might get announced.

No doubt that Canon is endorsing their EOS R system. Stay tuned.
