The RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM – and RF-S 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM for a longer reach – are RF-S lenses to match the latest APS-C Canons. The £320/$299 18-45mm is ideal for everyday shooting, as it’s compact and features a lens-retraction mechanism. It has manual focus override and STM for smooth movie autofocus. The £520/$499 18-150mm lens is ideal for getting close, with max magnification of 0.59x in MF modes. Working with IBIS in the EOS R7 and Movie Digital IS in the EOS R10, these lenses are equipped with Dynamic IS and in-lens optical image stabilisation. This enables a claimed seven stops of IS in the 18-150mm and half a stop less in the 18-45mm. The cameras accept full-frame RF lenses. With adapters, they can be used alongside EF and EF-S DSLR lenses. canon.co.uk LENS PAIRING OFFERS MORE APS-C CHOICE

These compact units weigh just 612g and 429g each, with battery and card. There is a 2.36m dot electronic viewfinder and OVF view assist, with customisable dials and a vari-angle LCD screen. The R7 features a 1.15x magnification viewfinder and dual UHS-II slots. Each has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and a clean HDMI output. Both are fitted with the new multi-function accessory shoe that works perfectly with extras like wireless mics.

NEXT-GEN SONY SENSORS IN PTZ CAMS Two 20x HD PTZ cameras with high-speed motors, next-gen Sony video sensors and new processors were unveiled by Lumens. The VC-A51P has secure IP streaming and the VC-A51PN unit adds NDI HX for network production. Both feature high- sensitivity 1/2.8in, 2.16-megapixel Sony CMOS sensors, with wide dynamic range and 3D noise reduction. Advanced autofocus and auto white- balance algorithms are ideal for low light. The cameras have a new motorised mechanism for fluid, three-axis motion, which can pan and tilt 2.5 times faster than the previous generation.

Both have 3G-SDI and HDMI ports and multiple IP control and streaming protocols, including RTMPS and RTMP, to work with YouTube, Facebook or similar. mylumens.com
