    Canon has announced a new camera in the full-frame line-up. The EOS R8 Mark II is a marked upgrade to the original R8 which was launched in February 2023, plus it's sporting a new angular SLR heritage-inspired look. The distinctly modern design marks a new chapter in the EOS R System. Canon says that the "EOS R8 Mark II carries forward [its] design heritage while evolving it into a more contemporary form that meets the needs and preferences of today's photographers and creators". The EOS R8 Mark II boasts a number of improvements over the original R8. Firstly it offers in-body image stabilisation (IBIS), up to a maximum of 7.5 stops benefit of co-ordinated control in conjunction with Canon lenses. It also fixes one of the bugbears we had at EOS HQ with the original – a lack of Multi-controller – giving you instant control over the position of your AF point. Canon also says that the subject tracking is improved compared to the EOS R8 and R6 Mark II, giving stickier...

  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 ...

Canon has announced the successor to its popular full frame EOS R6 mirrorless camera. The EOS R6 Mark II is the fastest EOS camera to date. It can shoot at up to 40 frames per second (fps) via the electronic shutter, and up to 12fps with the mechanical shutter. Canon says the Mark II is 80% faster than the original R6. It does share many features and benefits with the original EOS R6, but exceeds it in a number of areas. Whilst the Mark II is powered by the same DIGIC X processor as its R-series siblings, it features a brand new 24.3MP CMOS sensor.  It’s more intelligent too. The EOS R6 Mark II can recognise even more subject types than previous iterations of Canon's AI-programmed subject detection system, as it now includes trains and planes in the Vehicles programming, and horses and zebras with the Animals setting.  This is further enhanced by the inclusion of Subject tracking, so that the camera will follow your subject around the frame – this was first featured on the EOS...
