Truly, we don't believe that the Canon RF-S lineup of lenses will do the Canon EOS R7 any justice. They're still newer and at this point are more kit lenses than anything else. Instead, the best lenses for the Canon EOS R7 lie with the company's higher-end products. thephoblographer.com »

There are no two ways about it; when it comes to lenses for Mirrorless cameras, Canon has been the most innovative company in recent years.

At an event in Tokyo, Sigma has announced that its trio of DC DN lenses for APS-C and Micro Four Thirds will soon be available in Canon EF-M mount. The F1. 4 range of DC DN lenses aren't new, but this announcement answers one of our long-standing questions about the Canon EOS M mount: will third-party lens manufacturers ever invest in it? It seems that the answer is 'yes', and that's great news for fans of Canon's APS-C mirrorless platform, who - let's be honest - don't exactly have a lot of glass to choose from. dpreview.com »

CP+, held in Yokohama, Japan, every February and early March, is the largest camera-related show that occurs now. Photokina used to be it for photography, so much so, that camera and lens releases were often released in August and early September just to get ready for the Photokina buzz.
We reported back in mid January that new firmware was going to be announced ahead of CP+, which is currently running for the both the EOS R1 and EOS R5 Mark II That has not come to pass and we continue to wait for bug fixes and feature enhancements for both cameras, including the authentication [.
