Poised to be the new workhorse zoom, the Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8 L IS USM is a versatile wide-angle to portrait-length lens characterized by its bright, advanced, and intuitive design. The constant f/2.8 maximum aperture suits working in difficult lighting conditions and also enables greater control over depth of field. The optical design incorporates a series of aspherical and Ultra-Low Dispersion elements, which greatly reduce a variety of aberrations throughout the zoom range in order to produce sharp and clear imagery. An Air Sphere Coating has also been applied to suppress flare and ghosting when working in strong lighting conditions.
Balancing the distinguished optical assets is the Nano USM focus system, which delivers fast, nearly silent autofocus performance with full-time manual focus override. An Image Stabilizer also compensates for up to five stops of camera shake to help produce sharper handheld shots in difficult lighting conditions. A unique Control Ring is also integrated into the lens design for intuitive control over exposure settings from the lens itself. Additionally, this 24-70mm is weather-sealed and has a fluorine coating to protect the front and rear elements.

Canon C50 Reviews
Tiny Menus
I like the camera overall. I actually prefer not to have IBIS, especially Canon's; it always looks too jumpy and robotic to me. While it may help smooth out the shot, the risk of it ruining it with a weird wobble is not worth it to me. The 120p is not great, in my opinion, very soft. I wish the reviews were a little more honest about this; I was really hoping for a solid 120p. I was expecting better but don't think it's usable in a professional production. My biggest gripe about the camera is the size of the menus. It has the same Canon Cinema menus as the C70/80, but on a MUCH smaller screen. It's just too small for this size screen, at least for my 46-year-old eyes. I don't normally need readers for most things other than really small text. My phone is set to normal size, but this menu is just too small. I'm considering switching to the R6v even though I don't want IBIS just for the bigger Canon hybrid menus. If you use it with an external monitor rigged up, it's great; you have lots of options for what is displayed on the monitor. I mostly use this camera as a gimbal camera and don't always want to rig up a 2nd monitor, it makes the rig heavy and cumbersome. Hopefully, all manufacturers will start moving towards larger screens, like the Nikon ZR. Such a bummer. The handle is awesome. It has lots of customizable buttons. The little rubber flaps on the port covers kinda stink, Sony does a better job here. No camera is perfect. I previously used an FX30 as my gimbal camera, but I mostly use EF lenses with my RED Komodo X. This is a better fit for my setup. I'll deal with the tiny menu for now. I wonder if Canon could tweak the menus with firmware?
Ignore the Negative reviews - this camera is perfect
I've owned multiple cameras over the years starting all the way back to the Sony A7s2, FS7, FX9, R5C, BMPCC6k. I've managed cameras for employers, RED Helium, Sony Venice 2. Shot projects on Alexa Mini, Venice 1. This is my favorite camera I've ever owned. The major thing I see people questioning is lack of IBIS but that is big thing for me since I also work in VFX and need to capture driving plates and gaussian splats and IBIS can ruin both those workflows (stitching mismatch, micro-vibrations and warping for GS data training). This is a perfect camera to me. I'm pretty convinced the negative comments are from competitors scared of how powerful this camera is.
