Canon’s New RF 200-800mm Lenses Offers World Record Zoom For Wildlife Photographers
- Canon has released three new RF series lenses for mirrorless cameras.
- This includes the RF-S 10-18mm, RF 24-105mm, and the RF 200-800mm.
- The new RF 200-800mm lenses set a world record for giving the longest zoom on a camera.
Canon has been at the top of the camera industry for quite some time. However, it recently launched three new lenses for its mirrorless cameras. Here, one of the lenses – the Canon RF 200-800mm F6.9-9 IS USM – has set a world record for providing the longest zoom in a camera to date.
This lens is the world’s first full-frame zoom lens on a mirrorless camera that goes up to 800mm. It provides the longest zoom on a camera without the need for additional teleconverters. In addition, it also has a hefty weight of 2 kg.
Therefore, if you compare smartphone camera lenses with this lens, it’s equivalent to having 30x zoom on your mobile camera!
If you use a flagship Canon EOS R camera, like the EOS R7, using the Canon RF 200-800mm lens on it will provide image stabilization of up to 7.5 stops. In addition, it will also detect autofocus. It has a focal length equivalent to 1200mm since the sensor has a format of 1.5x crop.
Therefore, we recommend buying this lens for your high-end Canon EOS R cameras if you are into wildlife photography. Bird watchers will find this lens to be a dream come true since it gives them unprecedented levels of zoom – perfect for wildlife photographers to take pictures from a distance.
The Canon RF 200-800mm F6.9-9 IS USM has a price tag of £2,299.99 in the UK. While its US price hasn’t been announced yet, we expect it to cost around $2,799. This makes it one of the most expensive camera lenses and for all the good reasons!
