I know there is a lot of talk about 8K right now. Reliable sources told me you can forget to get any L-mount or R-mount or Z-mount or E-mount 8k mirrorless in 2019 or 2020. It’s not going to happen folks!
And at least in Panasonic’s case we now know it for a fact: l-rumors.com/panasonic-says-they-will-go-8k-by-2022/
Wilkinson camera leaked the specs and images of the new RF24-240mm lens (chached page here) and G5XII (chached page here).
The Canon RF 24-240mm F/4-6.3 IS USM lens is a portable, versatile 10x zoom lens for the EOS R system. It is ideal for everything from wide-angle landscapes to frame-filling portraits and even close-up sport and wildlife. It is a new standard in full-frame quality.
Expand your creativity with a 10x zoom for full-frame cameras. Shoot everything with a single lens, from big landscapes to powerful portraits and frame-filling action shots.
Discover the freedom of shooting with a single versatile lens. The RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM has virtually every focal length you need and weights just 750g. This means it is perfect for travel.
Enjoy full-frame image quality right across the 10x zoom range. An image stabiliser gives pin-sharp results in low light and at long focal lengths.
AF is fast and quiet, which makes it ideal for photographing wildlife. For videos, the RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM focuses more smoothly for professional-looking pull-focus effects.
The EOS R system provides superb performance, with fast focusing over virtually the whole frame and a built-in Digital Lens Optimiser. A lens control ring can be customised to your needs.
