At the 2024 Chinese CPSE show, Canon displayed a prototype camera with a 250MP sensor and a new EOS R7 camera high-sensitivity extended firmware.

Sirui will announce a new Aurora 85mm f/1.4 full-frame autofocus lens for Sony E and Nikon Z on October 25, 2024 (see teaser). The lens is already listed for sale on a German website for €545.
