Questionable Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Z Spy Photos

By Louis Ferreira | Published: August 15, 2024


Spy photos of the Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Z have been showing up in black and white which is odd because Canon tends to release L zoom lenses in white. There could be a special edition or something like that coming from Canon, but it is probably more likely that some or all of these lenses are fakes. Generative AI has made it incredibly hard to tell what is real anymore. At least the Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Z will be a nice lens whenever it is released.

The Canon EOS R5 Mark II was added to the DPR’s studio scene and the performance looks pretty good, but I think there is some additional color noise from the previous generation camera. Some camera companies have been trying to clean up noise in their RAW files so the difference may be the product of processing. The DPR studio scene test has been around for many years and they do a decent job of creating comparable results.

The Canon EOS R5 Mark II doesn’t currently work with third-party batteries on the market, but third parties should be able to solve this issue in the future. It appears that Canon made a similar tweak to its batteries like Fujifilm did years ago that will require slight changes to generic LP-E6P batteries.

Photons to Photos published its photographic dynamic range results for the Canon EOS R5 Mark II and the camera compares well to the Nikon Z7II, Sony a7IV, and Sony a7RV, but ultimately doesn’t impress. Canon really should find a company that can make a sensor that surpasses what Sony can produce. You can view and manipulate the above chart here.

Camera Model Maximum
PDR		 Low Light
ISO		 Low Light
EV
Canon EOS R5 Mark II 11.45 4846 10.60
Nikon Z 7II 11.60 4157 10.38
Sony ILCE-7RM5 11.70 5244 10.71
Sony ILCE-7M4 11.71 5365 10.75
