Canon releases free Dual Pixel 3D software for select EOS R cameras

Canon launched its Dual Pixel 3D imaging software in October 2026, letting users convert still photos into 3D models and videos without extra hardware. The tool depends on a camera's Dual Pixel CMOS AF sensor, limiting compatibility to select EOS R series bodies, and currently requires Windows 11 from 2024 or later. Output files are exportable as OBJ, GLB, or MP4.

Canon EOS R8 II adopts retro EOS 650 design with faster autofocus, stabilization

Canon has launched the 24-megapixel EOS R8 II, an entry-level full-frame camera with a squared-off body inspired by its old EOS 650 film SLR, replacing the rounded look of the original R8. The update adds a joystick for autofocus point control, 40fps electronic shutter burst shooting, and Canon's first in-body 5-axis stabilization on this line, cutting shake by up to 7.5 stops while remaining the lightest full-frame stabilized camera at 546 grams.
