Canon RF 24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM Lens Coming Soon for CP+ 2023

Looks like Canon is set to announce the RF 24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM lens very soon, probably later this month. According to latest reports Canon will unveil the RF 24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM most likely in February 2023 for CP+ event. No specifications so far but we think the entry level RF 24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM will be a diminutive and light-weighted lens.

On the other hand Canon is planning to announce a new APS-C EOS R camera soon. The product in question is the Canon EOS R8 and it is rumored to be announced at CP+ 2023 event in February.

Although there are Canon rumors about the Canon R8 that it may be an EOS R (save $200) replacement, the general consensus is that the R8 will be an APS-C RF mount model and sit between the EOS R7 and EOS R10.

There will be other new products to be announced ahead of CP+ 2023. Take it with a grain of salt and stay tuned for the updates.
