The Canon EF-M range has its first dedicated telephoto zoom lens – the EF-M 55-200mm f4.5-6.3 IS STM. Designed for Canon’s compact system camera, the EOS M, it offers advanced Stepping Motor Technology (STM), and a 3.5-stop optical Image Stabilizer. The new lens joins three existing lenses in the EF-M range, which together offer a diverse variety of focal lengths from 11-200mm. When shooting movies, STM technology ensures smooth focus transitions, as the focus shifts from one subject to another. The STM mechanism also provides near-silent focusing, giving videographers the ability to shoot movie soundtracks which capture the natural ambience of the scene in front of them. Additionally, thanks to a highly-effective 3.5-stop optical Image Stabilizer, which reduces visible camera shake, users can also shoot sharp stills while using the zoom, and steady movies while capturing action. Constructed of a high quality metal exterior – a trademark of the EF-M lens range – the EF-M 55-200mm ...

Canon is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the EOS-1 series, the company’s flagship range of interchangeable-lens cameras. The EOS series made its  debut back in 1987 with the launch of the EOS 650, the world’s first autofocus single-lens reflex (SLR) camera to employ a fully electronic mount system, capable of controlling functions including AF and aperture adjustment using electrical signals. Two years later, in 1989, the Company introduced its first professional EOS model, the EOS-1. With the dawn of the digital era, in 2001 Canon launched its first flagship professional digital SLR (DSLR) camera — the EOS-1D, followed by the full-frame EOS-1Ds in 2002. Canon’s current flagship professional DSLR camera, the EOS-1D X, was brought to market in June 2012. Including the EOS-1D C digital SLR camera, launched in December 2012 and capable of recording 4K video, Canon’s EOS-1 series lineup comprises a total of 14 models.
