Canon’s new full-frame lens offers world record zoom for wildlife and sports photographers

Canon RF 200-800mm F6.3-9 lens on a table at its 800mm setting, mounted to a Canon EOS R5.

Canon has announced a new RF lens for its mirrorless cameras that’s the world’s first full-frame zoom lens that goes up to 800mm. The 200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM offers an unprecedented reach without needing (optional) teleconverters, that’s the equivalent of your phone having a 30x optical zoom, only with no perceivable loss in image quality. 

We’ve already posted a RF 200-800mm review, and labeled the lens an ideal combo with the EOS R7 and EOS R5 cameras for enthusiast wildlife and sports photographers, especially those that focus on birdlife, or for safari and grassroots sports, and it no doubt merits a place in our best Canon lenses guide.
