RF 24-105mm f4-7.1 IS STM lens announcement

Kicking off the release of the 2020 additions to the RF lens line-up, the RF 24-105mm f4-7.1 IS STM is a lightweight, compact and versatile zoom lens. Weighing just 395g and sizing up at 88.8mm x 76.6mm, the RF 24-105mm f4-7.1 IS STM is an ideal all-round lens and travel companion. The RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 IS STM and EOS RP combined weight is only 880g, providing an equal lens/camera balance and comfort.

Adding to its already versatile focal range, the RF 24-105mm f4-7.1 IS STM features not only 0.4x life-size magnification, but also a new Canon-developed 0.5x Center Focus Macro mode. This mode provides photographers with high magnification at 24mm, resulting in an extremely close 13cm minimum focus distance. As a result, subjects in the centre of the frame are pin-sharp, exposing beautiful hidden detail, and the edges of the image fade away into an attractive blur.

With a large rear element and Canon’s Super Spectra Coating, this lens will deliver high optical performance across the frame with minimal ghosting and flare. A specification shared amongst all of Canon’s RF lenses, the RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 IS STM also sports its own DLO lens correction data profile allowing users to capture stunning images with minimal need for post-processing.

The RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 IS STM’s STM Autofocus motor also provides fast AF performance for stills and smooth, quiet performance during video capture. It's also further enhanced by 5-stop Image Stabilization (IS).

The Canon RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 IS STM lens is available from April 2020 for £459.99 / €549.99 (RSP).

Canon announces EOS R1 and EOS R5 Mark II as next R system evolution

Canon has today launched two new cameras for the EOS R system – the EOS R1, a new flagship model to take over from the EOS-1D X Mark III, and the EOS R5 Mark II, the next iteration of the ever-popular 5-series. The two camera share much more than just a launch date. They herald the arrival of the next generation of Canon's sensor-based focusing system – Dual Pixel Intelligent AF – as well as offering a raft of improvements over previous R-series cameras. The new features and the improvements alike are powered by a duo of DIGIC processors, one DIGIC X and one DIGIC Accelerator – and by Deep Learning, with the introduction of Action Priority AF for team-based sports. Both cameras sport brand new, purpose-made back illuminated stacked (BSI) sensors; the EOS R1 offers 24.2MP and the EOS R5 Mark II offers 45MP. Rolling shutter effect is reduced, significantly so on the EOS R1. In-camera there's also an up-scaling feature, giving users of both cameras the opportunity to increase res...

With a significant weight reduction compared to previous lens options, it pairs perfectly with the smaller full frame EOS R-series bodies, such as the EOS R, RP and R8.
