<p>While the products in 2017 were pretty good, especially on the lens side of things, we still feel a bit of excitement is needed from the largest maker of photography equipment on earth.</p>

<h4><strong>Your Favourite New Canon Camera of 2017</strong></h4>

</ul>
<p><strong>CR’s take:</strong> No real surprise here, a lot of people were looking forward to the EOS 6D Mark II and for a long time. It’s a good DSLR body and will give great results for those that get one.</p>
<p>On the negative side, most of us felt that the image quality didn’t see a big enough boost (if at all), and missing a 2nd SD card slot was hard to overlook.</p>
<p>However, we welcomed the articulating screen, 45 AF points (even if the spread could be better) and ergonomics of the camera.</p>

<li><strong>First Place: <a href="https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=ef%2085mm%20f%2F1.4L%20IS&N=0&InitialSearch=yes&sts=ma&Top+Nav-Search=&BI=2466&KBID=3296&KWID=EZ">Canon EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM</a> 72.7%</strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>CR’s take:</strong> 2017 wasn’t a big year for new lenses from Canon, but they did hit on the niche lens wishlist of a lot of people. It should be no surprise that a fast portrait L lens with IS came out on top by a large margin. The EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM seems to hit the right pricepoint, provides stellar results and first perfectly between the EF 85mm f/1.2L USM II and EF 85 f/1.8 USM.</p>
<p>The new tilt-shift lens have also been met with excitement from a small percentage of photographers that need these sorts of lenses. The three new TS-E lenses give Canon the widest range of professional tilt-shift lenses on the market.</p>
<p>We’re hoping for more fireworks from Canon in 2018 as far as lenses go.</p>

<h4><strong>Your Biggest Wish From Canon in 2018</strong></h4>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-24139" src="http://www.canonrumors.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/canonqmockup.jpg" alt="" width="728" height="403" /></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>First Place: Canon EOS Full Frame Mirrorless 31.1%</strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>CR’s take:</strong> The elephant in the room will remain a full frame mirrorless option from Canon until it happens. Canon has proven they can make great mirrorless APS-C cameras with the EOS M5 and EOS M6, but we all want to see an answer to Sony’s full frame prosumer and professional cameras. I’m told by a lot of people that wish for such a camera, that a native EF mount is a must, which is something I agree with and I think Canon does too.</p>
<p>I don’t know if we’ll see one in 2018, but it has to come at some point and the second we hear anything about it, we’ll let you know.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Runner-up:</strong> Canon EOS 7D Mark III 13.5%</li>
<li><strong>Third Place:</strong> Canon EOS 5DS / 5DS R Mark II 11.9%</li>

<p>So there you have it, 2017 is all wrapped up and we await the gear goodies of 2018. First up will be a couple of new PowerShot G series cameras, the EOS M50 and new entry level rebels. We expect to see the first announcements ahead of CES in early January.</p>
