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 speed, apert

  Canon has launched its latest R-system camera, the EOS C80, an RF mount cinema camera. Building upon the legacy of the EOS R5 C and EOS C70, the EOS C80 blends cutting-edge technology with a compact and ergonomic design.   The 6K full-frame CMOS sensor at the heart of the EOS C80 means it produces exceptionally low noise, increased sensitivity efficiency, and better 4K imagery via 6K oversampling. All this is possible thanks to the improved light capture technology of the back-illuminated, stacked CMOS sensor, as seen in the EOS C400 released earlier this year.   The EOS C80 integrates Dual Pixel CMOS AF II technology with precise and responsive autofocus capabilities. Pin-sharp face, eye, and head tracking, as well as new body and animal tracking, ensures the subject remains in focus even in complex shots.   Key specifications: Full frame 6K back-illuminated stacked sensor (BSI) SDI & ethernet terminals RF mount Supports lens metadata for corrections Two card slots SD UHS-II, ap
