Success for Canon at TIPA World Awards 2022

Founded in 1991, the Technical Image Press Association (TIPA) is made up of member publications in the photo and imaging fields in print and online. Each member publication is involved in the selection and final vote in the TIPA World Awards process to name the best photo and imaging products of the year. https://www.tipa.com/

Awards made to Canon for 2022 include:

Best Camera Innovation: EOS R3
"The camera adds a new stage in focus point selection development – Eye Control AF – a method of choosing a subject ot object merely by looking at it through the viewfinder. TIPA members who tested EyeControl AF were intrigued and impressed by how rapidly focus point was attained and displayed in the camera's electronic viewfinder. They noted how the AF system could then continue to keep focus on the subject via the R3's AF tracking technology."

Best Professional 8K Hybrid Camera: EOS R5C
"Whether it's sport, news, documentary or wedding till and video capture, TIPA editors saw the R5 C as a 'do-everything' camera for photographers who want to carry one camera to cover all their pro video and stills creators needs."

Best Full Frame Wide Angle Zoom lens: RF 14-35mm f4L IS USM
"Wide angle zooms offer unique and flexible compositional capabilities that have strong appeal to landscape, nature and architectural photographers and videographers. TIPA members felt that Canon’s RF 14-35mm earns its L-series designation, known for its tack sharp, accurate colour rendition images. 

Best Macro Lens: RF 100mm f2.8L Macro IS USM
"While this lens bears the Macro designation, and offers up to 1.4x life-size magnification, the TIPA members commented that it could serve double-duty as an excellent portrait lens as well. On the portrait side, and equally applicable for macro work, a spherical aberration control ring allows for the creation of images with a soft-focus look."

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...

RF 28-70mm f2.8 IS STM announced

Canon Europe today announces the RF 28-70mm f2.8 IS STM, a new lightweight lens designed to be a next step for photographers wanting to upgrade from their kit lens.   Designed for a variety of shooting scenarios, from portraiture to street and travel, the fast f2.8 constant aperture throughout the zoom range is ideal for shooting in low light conditions, capturing everything from fading ‘blue hour’ light to dimly lit indoor scenes.

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. The RF 28-70mm f2.8 IS STM offers swift adjustments to shutter spe...
