Canon’s next high-resolution RF mirrorless camera could be over 100MP. According to recent reports a new 100MP Canon EOS R camera is apparently in the pipeline.

Just weeks after the Canon EOS R1 rumors surfaced, new Canon speculation revealed that the company is likely working on a 100MP EOS R camera.

We previously reported that the Canon EOS R5S high-megapixel camera is being tested by a very select group of photographers as a finished product.

Sony has announced three new full-frame lenses, the FE 50mm F2.5 G (model SEL50F25G), FE 40mm F2.5 G (model SEL40F25G) and FE 24mm F2.8 G (model SEL24F28G). All three lenses are the same size, almost the same weight, and the same price ($599).

Designed for Sony Full Frame E-mount system,  the lenses all measure 64 x 45mm (2.5 x 1.8 in.) and weigh between 162-174 grams (5.7-6.1 ounces).

They all use aspherical elements to maintain high resolution and reduce various aberrations, while the 24mm and 50mm lenses additionally use ED (extra-low dispersion) glass to reduce chromatic aberrations and fringing.
