Canon Launches Two PowerShot Digital Cameras and a RF Lens

Today, Canon released three new products: the Canon RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM lens, the PowerShot G5 X Mark II and the PowerShot G7X Mark III.  


Canon RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM  


The Canon RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM lens will be a compact, lightweight 10x Zoom RF Lens. Containing canon optical lens technology, and a bright lens aperture, it will take high image quality images. To counteract shaking, the lens will come with Optical Image Stabilization with up to 5 stops of Shake Correction. It has also been designed with a high speed, smooth and quiet autofocus with Nano USM. This will be the first canon lens manufactured with dynamic IS for full-frame Cameras. The RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM lens will have a minimum focusing distance of 1.64ft./0.50m (Wide), 2.56ft/0.78m (Tele). Like all RF lenses, it will also have a control ring for direct setting changes and a 12-pin communication system.

EOS RP + RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM 


With the release of the RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM lens, Canon is planning to sell it as a kit lens with the EOS RP. The EOS RP in connection with the new RF 24-240mm should make for a dynamic duo. The EOS RP is the smallest full-frame EOS camera Canon has ever made and is Canon’s first entry-level full-frame mirrorless system. It has a 26.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor, Dual Pixel CMOS AF system, 4K video and a DIGIC 8 processor for excellent low light results. In combination to its fast and accurate Auto Focus, the RP has a built-in EVF with 2.36 million dots and a vari-angle touchscreen LCD for optimal usability. The lens and kit will be available in September—$2199 for the kit and $899.99 for just the lens.

Powershot G5 X Mark II 


The Powershot G5 X Mark II comes with a 20.1 Megapixel 1.0” Stacked CMOS Sensor and DIGIC 8 Image Processor. It has 5x Optical Zoom (24-120mm f/1.8-2.8) with Optical Image Stabilization—a step up from the G5 X’s DIGIC 6 Image Processor and 4.2x (24-100mm f/1.8-2.8) Optical Zoom. A few other improvements include its ability to shoot 4K 30p / FHD 120p video, Continuous Shooting up to 20 fps (up to 30 fps with RAW Burst Mode) and Panoramic Shooting and Star Shooting mode.

The Powershot G5 X Mark II now sports the Tilt Panel LCD Screen with tilt option up to 180 degrees for selfies or vlogging replacing the previous vari-angle screen. The new pop-up electronic viewfinder has 2.36 million dots and Touch & Drag AF. The G5 X Mark II will be available in August and will come in black for $899.99.

It also can shoot continuously up to 20 fps—a large jump compared to the previous 8 fps—and shoots 4K 30p / FHD 120p video. The G7 X Mark III will be available in August and will come in black or silver for $749.99.
