Canon released its long-awaited EOS R3 last month, after having teased it in the spring. And the actual specification of the brand’s new flagship mirrorless was much as expected – read all about this exciting new camera for sports and news pros in our hands-on review on page 112.

Also announced in the same press event was a pair of affordable new optics for the Canon RF mount: the RF 16mm f/2.8 STM and the RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM.

And nature and sports enthusiasts are sure to welcome the arrival of the RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8, a Canon-quality long lens that won’t break the bank – or your back.

The brand also announced a new compact wireless flash controller, the Speedlite Transmitter ST-E10, for the R3’s new multi-function hotshoe. www.canon.co.uk; £319/$299 (RF 16mm f/2.8 STM). £699/$649 (RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM); £159/$119 (ST-E10)
