Canon is getting ready to announce the Canon EOS R5 and EOS R6 mirrorless cameras and a bunch of lenses in the next few hours, and you can watch the whole thing live, right here. It’s scheduled to begin at 14:00 CEST (1pm UK time, 8am Eastern, 5am Pacific) today, and should make a lot of people very happy. It should also help to clear up the confusion about those long-but-slow f/11 primes.
Canon is expected to announce a whole bunch of stuff besides the EOS R5 and EOS R6 and its various kit combinations. It’s a pretty massive list, but Canon has been calling this their “biggest product launch yet”, so it may be accurate! There may even be one or two surprises.

It looks like the 50mm f/1.8 STM and the 70-200mm f/4L IS USM aren’t ready for prime time just yet, but as well as the original list above, Canon did also announce a new high-end photo printer that prints up to A3 (or around 18×12).
