The Ricoh GR IIIx is built with a 40mm equivalent lens, designed for single-handed photography. The shutter button is wide and easy to access, and we love the look and finish of the Urban Edition of this camera.

Canon’s First APS-C EOS R Series Cameras

 By Evelyn Drake


There are two new exciting additions to the Canon EOS R Series line-up. The new Canon EOS R7 and Canon R10 usher in a range of smaller, lighter, more affordable options. Alongside the camera bodies, Canon announced two new RF-S lenses – a series of RF-mount lenses that are optimized for the smaller APS-C sensor size of the new EOS R camera system. Marked as the RF-S18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM and RF-S18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM lenses, these will be the standard zoom lenses for the EOS R7 and EOS R10 cameras. The RF-S 18-45mm provides an 18-45mm focal length, but users will experience a field of view equivalent to 29-72mm lens coverage on a full-frame camera. The RF-S18-150mm lens is a longer-range standard zoom, equivalent to 29-240mm lens coverage on a full-frame sensor. While ideal for the new EOS R10 and EOS R7 APS-C sized sensor bodies, these lenses can be used for any R-series camera.
