Without this being a complete copout, [...]

There have been some great professional cameras released that we’re only starting to learn and create with, along with some innovative lenses designs. Canon even took care of the golfers out there, which is true innovation for an imaging company. You may or may not care, [...]

We have seen the R5 Mark II, R1, and later this year if rumors hold, the R6 Mark III.  Outside of the R8, which was only released in early 2023, Canon mostly completed an entire system refresh [...]
