professional telephoto lenses in the Canon RF system.\u00a0It will be distinguished by its versatility and sufficiently high aperture ratio for such focal lengths.\u00a0There was no such lens from Canon in the Canon EF system (for SLR cameras).\u00a0The closest analogue is the Canon EF 200-400mm F\/4L IS USM lens with a built-in 1.4x teleconverter.\u00a0However, the RF lens will not have a teleconverter, which will reduce weight and size.<\/p>\n<p>The price of the new Canon RF 200-500mm F\/4L IS USM telephoto lens will be $15,999. Current images and characteristics of the lens have not yet been published.\u00a0Apparently, the source will reveal them later \u2013 as the official announcement approaches.<\/p>\n<p>Canon is also expected to introduce\u00a0four fast prime lenses\u00a0in 2024 .\u00a0We are talking about the following premium optics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Canon RF 14mm F\/1.4L USM<\/li>\n<li>Canon RF 24mm F\/1.4L IS USM<\/li>\n<li>Canon RF 28mm F\/1.4L IS USM<\/li>\n<li>Canon RF 35mm F\/1.4L IS USM<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The announcement of the Canon EOS R5 Mark II\u00a0camera with new generation Quad Pixel AF\u00a0is also expected .\u00a0The source clarified that the Canon EOS R5 Mark II will have the ability to record 8K video at 60 fps or up to 120 fps when connecting an additional monitor-recorder via the HDMI port.\u00a0The new product may receive an improved cooling radiator, which will avoid overheating during prolonged work with high loads (for example, shooting 8K in RAW).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canon is currently developing a high-tech telephoto lens, the Canon RF 200-500mm F\/4L IS USM, with image stabilization.\u00a0It was planned that the new professional lens would be presented in 2023, but at the moment the source said that the presentation of the new product will take place only in the second half of 2024.
