Today, a new rumor was published examining whether Canon will equip its anticipated new PowerShot cameras with a fresh image sensor. According to the rumor,  an entirely new sensor will be equipped and will not reuse the 1.4-type sensor equipped in the V1. It will be smaller than the 1.4-type but will be a “more advanced” one. It is speculated that this sensor will be adopted in multiple PowerShot models. ...]]>Fri, 10 Apr 2026 04:37:00 GMThttps://www.canonnews.com/canon-powershot-new-sensor-rumor-smaller-more-advanced-chip-incoming-but-is-it-smarthttps://www.canonnews.com/think-tank-urban-access-10-sling-bag-black-60-off-at-bh-photo Currently, B&H Photo is offering a $60 discount on the Think Tank Photo Urban Access 10 Sling Bag (Black), model number 710469, bringing the price to $69.75, down from the original $129.75.

The optical designs shown in this patent application are slightly less complex than the VCM primes that we have seen released over the past few years, and sit around the same optical complexity as the existing RF STM primes.  It's hard to guess where Canon would be placing these lenses, but I would assume that these would be lower-end consumer-grade primes if ...]]>Tue, 07 Apr 2026 05:23:00 GMThttps://www.canonnews.com/a-modern-55mm-f18-canon-patents-new-batch-of-consumer-rf-primeshttps://www.canonnews.com/canon-r7-mark-ii-rumors-a-new-rf-s-15-70mm-f4-kit-lens-coming A new rumor has surfaced that the R7 Mark II will also come with a new RF-S kit zoom lens, rumored to be a 15-70mm.  Not much more is known, except that it's thought that it would be a constant F/4 aperture lens and be released with the R7 Mark II. Canon has in the past applied for a patent application for an APS-C 15-70mm F/4 (Japan Patent Number  7770854 ), so we'll talk about this for a bit.  It will give us an idea of what Canon is perhaps thinking about. ...]]>Tue, 07 Apr 2026 03:54:00 GMThttps://www.canonnews.com/canon-r7-mark-ii-rumors-a-new-rf-s-15-70mm-f4-kit-lens-cominghttps://www.canonnews.com/benro-mefoto-backpacker-pro-carbon-fiber-tripod-black-130-off-at-bh Currently, B&H Photo has a sale on the Benro MeFOTO Backpacker Pro Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod (Model BMBPPROCBLK, Black).
