Canon's mirrorless R100, basically the successor the Rebel SL series DSLRs, is on sale this week at Walmart paired with a kit lens for $414 -- that's nearly 20% off the listed price. You still should not buy it.
Cosina is further adding to its RF line of lenses by bringing its Voigtlander Nokton 75mm f/1.5 Aspherical lens to Canon's mirrorless mount in April.
For decades, professional photographers have been using the pairing of a 70-200mm f/2.8 and a 300mm f/2.8 to achieve their telephoto goals. Canon introduced the RF 100-300mm f/2.8 L IS USM recently and it just about covers the range of both those lenses. But is it as good?
Canon is well aware of the requests to see third-party lenses that are equipped with autofocus, like those made by Sigma or Tamron, on its mirrorless RF mount, and while nothing is set in stone yet, the company is in active discussions to make it a reality.
The CP+2024 show is slated to start later this week in Yokohama, Japan, and Cosina has announced the Voigtlander lenses it will showcase at the event.
When it comes to protecting its intellectual property, Canon is among the most litigious. Whether printer ink or lenses for the RF mount, the company spends significant effort shutting down unregistered third party brands. From the outside looking in, this can come off as petty, aggressive, or even greedy.
Friday, Cosina announced the Voigtlander Nokton 40mm f/1.2 Aspherical lens for Canon RF mount. Coming in January, it will be the second lens it has produced for the mirrorless mount and only the second third-party lens officially authorized by Canon.

Canon executives in China were asked by local journalists when the company might consider opening the RF lens mount to third-party optics, and the company confirmed that it is currently evaluating options -- just on a case-by-case basis.
Venus Optics will launch a crowdfunding campaign for a set of Laowa Nanomorph anamorphic lenses alongside a 1.33x anamorphic adapter at the end of August.
Fotodiox's new Cine Edition Fusion adapters allow Canon EF cinema glass to mount to L or RF-mount cameras, support full electronic connection including autofocus, and can include a built-in variable neutral density (ND) filter.
One of our favorite types of video to make is buying guides, to help our viewers decide what products are best for them. It also presents an opportunity for me to share my personal preferences about what I would choose. Our latest episode is all about Canon RF mount lenses, and I give you my favorites in the following categories: ultra-wide, normal primes, standard zoom, telephoto zoom, portrait lenses, and macros.
In addition to the new R100 mirrorless camera, Canon today is also debuting a new pancake-style prime for the RF-mount, the 28mm f/2.8 STM.

Canon's newly announced RF100-300mm f/2.8 L IS USM lens is going to be an exceedingly rare optic for a while: the company doesn't expect to be able to deliver lenses this year, even to those who already ordered.
Canon has announced a new RF 100-300mm f/2.8 L IS USM lens which it says is designed to support professional users with a specific emphasis on photojournalists.
Meike has announced a new 85mm f/1.4 autofocus lens for Sony E, Nikon Z, Leica L, and -- surprisingly -- Canon RF mounts. If this stands, Meike will be the first third-party manufacturer to come to market with an autofocus-equipped lens for Canon's mirrorless mount.
Canon says it intends to release seven or eight new RF lenses a year going forward as it works to build out its first-party library to match the more than 70 that were available for the EF mount before the launch of its mirrorless line.
Canon has an image problem and I'm not talking about photos. The company currently has a battle on three fronts when it comes to the perception of its brand: no third-party lens options, the actions of its printer division, and the company's stance on climate change.
The Canon R5 II was originally speculated to arrive this year, but a new report claims that isn't happening. In lieu of a new camera body, Canon will instead be bringing new functionality to the original R5 via a "major" firmware update.
Canon’s M50 APS-C camera was introduced in February of 2018 when Canon had yet to truly enter the mirrorless camera market, and its tiny new APS-C Canon EOS R50 is more than just a replacement for the M50.
With the introduction of the R50 and the R8, Canon further teeters on the edge of having too many cameras rather than too few.
Canon has released two new lenses for its RF full-frame and RF-S APS-C lineups: RF 24-50mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM and RF-S 55-210mm f/5-7.1 IS STM.
Canon has announced the Canon EOS R8, a full-frame mirrorless camera the company says is aimed at amateur photographers and videographers.

RED Cinema is close to releasing its V-Raptor Rhino 8K S35 which has a native, fully active, Canon RF mount. The fact this relationship exists basically proves Canon is dead-set on selling its lenses above all else.
The EOS R6 Mark II surprised me. Historically, Canon's "6" series has been a stepping stone camera that, at least to me, lacked an identity of its own. That changes with the R6 II, which now punches way above its weight.
