Canon Rumors says the long‑rumored RF 300-600mm f/5.6L IS USM super‑telephoto zoom will be announced in September, with a price likely under $10,000, though exact specs (focal range, aperture, price) aren’t confirmed; the report also anticipates at least one more RF lens (likely an RF 24-70mm f/2L) in September, with the timing relative to other Canon announcements (like EOS R8 Mark II/PowerShot) still unclear.
Twenty-three years after its 2003 release, revisiting the Canon EOS Digital Rebel 300D shows how it kickstarted affordable digital photography: a 6.2MP APS-C sensor in a plasticky body with basic controls, slow operation, and limited high-ISO performance, yet it delivered pleasing color and made digital photography accessible to the masses, sparking a wave of entry-level DSLRs and shaping Canon’s and competitors’ future cameras even as modern gear vastly outperforms it.
Prime Video's Legally Blonde prequel follows a 16-year-old Elle Woods in Seattle; Reese Witherspoon says it's officially canon, handpicking Lexi Minetree to star as young Elle and ensuring the story honors the original movie while foreshadowing Elle's future success, including nods to familiar moments like Bruiser and the pool party.
A PetaPixel opinion argues Canon’s three similar full-frame cameras—the C50, R6 III, and R6 V—are hamstrung by an internal split: the C50 focuses on cinema features but omits IBIS and an EVF, the R6 III adds IBIS and an EVF but drops some cinema options, and the R6 V brings cooling and a video-forward stance yet lacks dual recording and a cohesive, video-first menu. The result is a “wall” between V and C that prevents Canon from delivering a unified, best-in-class option for video creators, despite sharing the same sensor and strong image quality.
Ubisoft says both the original Assassin’s Creed Black Flag (2013) and the upcoming Black Flag Resynced remake are canon, with the remake offering a more accurate retelling of Edward Kenway’s life while preserving the core events; modern-day sequences from the original have been removed but a new scene references the Sage, and the ending is adjusted to fit the updated canon. Black Flag Resynced launches July 9 on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.

Canon unveils the RF 20-50mm f/4L IS USM PZ—the first L-Series power-zoom for the RF mount—designed for hybrid video creators and pairing with the EOS R6 V; it uses Nano USM motors for silent zoom and focus, offers built-in IS up to six stops (eight with IBIS), focuses to 0.24 m with 0.33x magnification, weighs 420 g, and ships in late June at $1,399 (kit with R6 V for $3,699).
Canon released a second cryptic teaser ahead of its May 13, 2026 reveal, showing four camera silhouettes that suggest multiple new models and possibly a lineup above the V-series; a teaser page from B&H and playful replies from Canon have kept details vague as photographers await the official 9:00 a.m. EDT announcement.
