Sep 13, 2009 – Canon introduced three new lenses last week. The EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM lens is a great multipurpose lens for capturing sharp close-up images of small objects as well as beautiful portrait-length telephoto shots. This lens incorporates Canon’s new Hybrid IS which compensates for both angular camera shake and shift camera shake, problems that become more apparent as magnification increases. Shift camera shake is rarely noticeable when shooting outside the macro realm, such as landscape photography. But when shooting extreme close-ups, even the slightest amount of angular or shift camera shake can adversely affect image quality. The Hybrid IS lens includes an acceleration sensor in addition to the conventional angular velocity sensor, and together work to compensate for the two types of shift giving a much sharper image. This lens will be available at the end of September for an estimated price of $1,049.
