Canon

The latest news, reviews, and information about Canon cameras, lenses, and products. Canon is a multinational corporation headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. The company manufactures a wide range of optical, imaging, and industrial products, but it's particularly known for its cameras and lenses. Founded in 1934, Canon initially launched the Kwanon, the first 35mm camera with a focal-plane shutter out of Japan.

Don’t Let the Canon R1 Situation Distract You: The R5 II is Pretty Great

It's easy to think that the Canon EOS R1 is the main attraction of Canon's announcements this week. The company made a development announcement for it and it's been heavily teased. However, while relegated a bit to the shadows, the Canon EOS R5 Mark II is the more interesting and exciting of the two new Canon cameras.

My history with the Canon mirrorless series started in late 2018 with the launch of the EOS R. Since then, I have switched from the EF to the RF mount, and for the past four years, I have worked intensively with two EOS R5 cameras. They have been loyal companions during my projects, and I have completed hundreds of photo and video shoots with them. When I became aware that Canon was launching a successor, I couldn't wait to get my hands on a sample.

The Canon EOS R5 Mark II is coming soon, and PetaPixel has tried it. It represents a significant upgrade over its predecessor, 2020's R5. However, a lot has changed in the industry since then, and the competition is stiff. So, how does the new R5 II compare to its peers?

The Canon EOS R1 has finally arrived. After much anticipation and years of waiting, the Canon EOS R System finally has its true flagship EOS 1-series camera. Does Canon's new mirrorless camera take a spot on the podium, or does it come up short?

Canon EOS R1 First Impressions: More an R3 Mark II Than a New Flagship

It has been a long time coming, but the EOS R1 is finally here. For years, the Canon R1 has been teased and hinted at before getting an official announcement two months ago. Now, finally, we at PetaPixel got our hands on an early test with the R1 body. That said, I cannot stress enough that it was a very early look.

This Canon Aperture Ring Situation Is Very Weird

Last week, Canon clarified that while the aperture control rings on its 24-105mm f/2.8L Z and 35mm f/1.4L VCM don't work in photo mode with its existing cameras, that will change with any camera announced after June 2024. That's really weird.

Apple Smartly Bets on Blackmagic and Canon in Vision Pro Content Gamble

While Apple's Vision Pro spatial computing headset is extremely impressive from a technological perspective and has some incredible tricks up its sleeve, it's a tough sell given its eye-watering $3,499 starting price and relative lack of content. Apple's WWDC keynote demonstrated that the company is working hard to tackle the second hurdle.
