Canon signals possible 2027 price increases
Canon told investors this week that its imaging business could raise prices in 2027 if higher memory and other costs persist. For EOS R photographers considering future equipment purchases, this is a development to watch, rather than a confirmed price change for any particular camera or RF lens: Canon did not name affected models or announce individual increases in the cited update.

A glimpse at possible brighter Canon zooms
A Canon patent reported this week explores zoom designs with three or more focusing groups, including examples of a 70–200mm f/2 and a 50–85mm f/1.4. For RF photographers, it is an interesting glimpse at research into brighter zooms. This is a patent, not a product announcement: there is no confirmed lens, price or release date to plan a purchase around.
