Canon Shows Why Its RF Lens Tech is Superior

By

The above video from Canon shows off its new RF lens technology and what makes it so great. The Canon RF mount, as found in the Canon EOS R, provides a shorter flange distance and results in larger rear lens elements to produce an image on the full-frame sensor. The RF mount also provides faster and more in-depth communication between the camera and lens thanks to the 12-pin communication system. Canon’s RF Lens Tech video highlights some of the more specific features and benefits that a larger element with a shorter flange distant offers.

Is a $900 Nikon Mirrorless Camera Coming Soon?

By

After Canon released the EOS R, it followed up with the more affordable, entry-level Canon EOS RP, which has proven a popular release.

According to multiple rumors from Nikon Rumors, Nikon is primed to introduce an upcoming affordable Z-series model (perhaps the Z1 or Z5) to complement the higher-end Nikon Z6 and Z7. And recent rumors suggest the mid-range model may be in the $900 range. Although, the speculation ranges up to the equivalent of $1700.

If manufacturers are ready for mirrorless cameras to take over the Rebel and Nikon DX lines, we’re going to have to see some lower-end models fill up the ranks (and possibly even some more affordable APS-C format cameras).
