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 teases new hybrid lenses

  Canon has announced its intention to add new lenses to its hybrid RF L-series range on 30 October 2024, teasing with the image above. Canon’s hybrid lenses are a range of RF L-series primes and zooms designed for high performance stills and video capture. They are able to perform multiple roles and harness technology from Canon’s broadcast, cinema and existing RF lenses to make for a truly versatile range. The first two lenses in the range are the RF 24-105mm f2.8L IS USM Z , launched in November 2023, and the RF 35mm f1.4L VCM lens , announced earlier this year in June. Keep an eye out as full details will be published as soon as they're available on 30 October 2024.

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. Built with reliability in mind, this weather-resistant lens also allows for shooting handheld at slower shutter speeds in lower light environments with optical image stabilisation of up to 5.5 stops.   Measuring just 92.2mm in length when retracted and weighing 490g, this latest lens is among the lightest of its kind. 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...

Firmware updates for EOS R1 and R5 Mark II

Canon has released new firmware for its flagship EOS R1 camera (version 1.0.2) as well as the EOS R5 Mark II (version 1.0.3), both of which offer the following enhancement and fix: 1. Optimizes the timing of the camera's display of its internal camera temperature warning indicator. 2. Fixes an issue that may interfere with the camera's ability to focus properly when using AF (autofocus) in certain zoom ranges. For the EOS R5 Mark II, Canon advises that if the camera's firmware is Version 1.0.1, you should update the firmware with only one memory card inserted into the camera. You should always read the instructions that come with the firmware update, as there are often details specific to that update, as with the EOS R5 Mark II (above).
