Canon quietly discontinues
one-third of its DSLR lens lineup
Over the past decade, there’s been a nearly industry-wide shift away from DSLR cameras to mirrorless models. Thanks to their less complex mechanical design, which forgoes the clunky reflex mirror, mirrorless cameras are less expensive to design and manufacture. They also bring benefits like real-time exposure previews, swifter performance, better autofocus, and more AI smarts.
But the tradeoff of this shift also means fewer folks are buying DSLR lenses, and as a result, brands are scaling back production. Canon, for instance, just discontinued roughly a third of its EF-mount lineup in the US market, and actual retail availability in the US is even more limited.
