Canon has recently announced the launch of two new products designed to enhance the creative possibilities for photographers, content creators, and everyday users through easily intuitive advanced features and flexibility: the RF28-70mm f/2.8 IS STM lens and SELPHY QX20 compact photo printer.
RF28-70mm f/2.8 IS STM
The RF28-70mm f/2.8 IS STM lens is Canon’s new standard zoom lens, primarily for full-frame camera users, offering a widely adjustable focal range from 28mm to 70mm with a constant f/2.8 aperture. It excels in capturing a diverse range of images, from portraits and events to landscapes and low-light scenes. The lens features optical image stabilization, which offers up to 5.5 stops with OIS and 7.5 stops with IBIS + OIS, enhancing image stability. Its lightweight design and high performance make it perfect for everyday use, travelling on the go and for capturing moments through photos and videos.
SELPHY QX20
The SELPHY QX20 is Canon’s newest wireless compact photo printer, offering high-quality printing in a portable design. Ideal for smartphone users, it supports square-size format and Canon’s new card-size format paper, catering to various creative needs including memory keeping, scrapbooking and crafting. The built-in battery and durable seal paper (for prints that may last up to 100 years) make it a top choice for preserving special moments. Its borderless printing feature and dedicated app simplify the process, allowing users to create personalized prints effortlessly.
The RF28-70mm f/2.8 IS STM lens is compact and ready to take anywhere, offering a versatile tool that can easily transition from capturing videos of your life to storytelling landscapes. Meanwhile, with the SELPHY QX20 printer, Canon is pushing the boundaries of what a compact photo printer can do.
