Canon announced the EOS R8 Mark II, a full-frame mirrorless camera featuring a 24.2-megapixel sensor, in-body image stabilization rated for up to 7.5 stops, 4K 60fps video recording, and an autofocus joystick. The camera retains a 40 fps shooting speed and compact design while improving continuous shooting capacity for both RAW and JPEG formats, launching in late October at $1,899.
Sigma's new 20-60mm f/2.8-4 DG Contemporary lens offers a compact, lightweight alternative for Sony and Panasonic users seeking versatility without carrying multiple lenses. It delivers fast aperture performance, good sharpness, and excellent flare resistance, though it suffers from harsh bokeh and lacks autofocus/manual focus switching controls.
Apple unveiled the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max with a major camera upgrade featuring a new 48-megapixel main camera with variable aperture (f/1.48 to f/4) that enables creative control and improved low-light performance. The phones also include enhanced Pro controls in the Camera app, new computational imaging features, video improvements up to 4K with Dolby Vision, and Apple Intelligence integration with an updated Siri AI assistant.
