New Canon camera and lenses spotted in the wild

It seems most people on here shoot Nikon but thought I'd post this anyway.

You can see in the first pic that the 200-400 has a built in 1.4x teleconverter making a quick 280-560 with one stop less aperture.

The LCD screen is also interesting in that it appears to be even wider than 16:9

Thanks for posting. I'm a Nikon guy. My photo teacher used to say, the best lens teleconverter is a visa or mastercard. :biggrin

Teleconverters get a bad rap, and it's not because they suck, it's because too many companies make teleconverters THAT SUCK.

It basically comes down to whether a shot would look better at x focal length enlarged 200% or at 2x focal length with a teleconverter, and there are plenty of quality teleconverters out there that would yield a far superior image compared to the enlargement.

Very true, especially with the large megapixel cameras now, much easier to blow up - it could go either way. Any good recommendations for teleconverters that don't blow the budget?
