Knowing I was taking Canon's flagship "uber-camera" designed for speed and action under my wing, I had to look for photography opportunities that really put the camera to the test, and sports was first on my list. After a few emails...
Fancy adding another lens to your camera bag? If so, Canon has just announced three new optics that could occupy a little of the space you yearn to fill, no matter the size and your budget.
