EOS 850D
The EOS 850D ships with the Dual Pixel CMOS AF, and EOS Intelligent Tracking and Recognition Auto Focus (iTR AF) for face detection.
Development of the EOS R5
Canon’s EOS R5 will be the first of the next-generation full-frame mirrorless cameras in the company’s EOS R System.
The EOS R5 will include a newly developed CMOS sensor that makes possible advanced features such as high-speed continuous shooting and 8K video capture capability.
It will also be the first Canon camera equipped with a high-performance coordinated Image Stabilization system that integrates the camera’s in-body IS with IS system on attached RF lenses.
In line with the development of the EOS R5, Canon also plans to release a total of 9 RF lenses currently in development over the course of 2020.
The camera has an optical viewfinder and boasts a low-light capability for shooting at night and in dark places.
The EOS 850D contains a 4K time-lapse movie function that allows users to capture day-to-night time-lapse movies of cityscapes in ultra-high resolution through a selection of pre-set scenes or simple manual settings.
SELPHY SQUARE QX10
The new SELPHY SQUARE QX10 is a palm-sized photo printer that produces square-formatted prints.
Featuring dye-sublimation technology, users are able to print high-quality photos directly from their smartphones that are dirt-proof and water-resistant.
The SELPHY SQUARE QX10 is Canon’s most portable printer, enabling users to instantly print their memories wherever and whenever they want, with the assurance that printout quality will not diminish over time.
RF24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM
The RF24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM is Canon’s smallest and lightest RF zoom lens available to date, weighing only 395g with a length of 88.8mm.
Available as a kit lens for the EOS R and EOS RP, the RF24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM offers an affordable option for users looking to jump into the full-frame bandwagon by adopting the new EOS R system.
A unique feature of the RF24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM is its ability to take close-up images with up to 0.4x magnification.
For users looking to get more close-up images of their subjects, 0.5x magnification is also possible.
image.canon Cloud Platform
A new cloud platform that connects Canon cameras with users’ PCs, smartphones and external web services.
image.canon enables users to automatically upload images and video files, via Wi-Fi, in their original quality straight from cameras which are equipped with automatic image transfer functionality – such as the EOS R5 which is currently in development.
image.canon will enhance the post-shoot workflow and provide a new way to experience the joy of photography, and will commence operation at the start of April 2020.
