Canon has taken the wraps off its new EOS R7 and R10 mirrorless cameras, two models that pack APS-C sensors. They’re joined by new lenses, as well.
Even though Canon was a bit late to join the party, the company has, over the past few years, become a big proponent of mirrorless cameras. In fact, as of December 2021, Canon held nearly 50% of the global mirrorless camera market share — far ahead of Sony, which essentially pioneered the segment when it launched the Alpha 7 back in 2013 (via Digital Camera World). In a move to further establish its leadership in the mirrorless segment, Canon announced the launch of two new EOS R-series cameras on May 24, 2022. What makes these new cameras special is that they happen to be the company’s first R-series models to get an APS-C sensor. Canon’s existing RF-series cameras have all featured larger full-frame sensors. Along with these new cameras, Canon confirmed that it would launch new lenses designed specifically for its new and future RF-series cameras. Interestingly, these R-series lenses can also be used interchangeably with existing RF-series full-frame cameras. The new R-series camera also boasts excellent video capabilities with support for 4K video capture at up to 60 fps.
