For the 21st consecutive year, Canon has won awards from the Technical Image Press Association (TIPA). This year Canon won four Best Photo and Imaging Product awards for their EOS 7D Mark II digital SLR camera, IXUS 160 / IXUS 165 / IXUS 170 digital compact cameras, the EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM super-telephoto zoom lens and the EF11-24mm f/4L USM ultra-wide-angle zoom lens. Check out all the details below:
- Best DSLR Expert: EOS 7D Mark II ~ Selected for this year’s “Best DSLR Expert” award, Canon’s APS-C-size flagship-model EOS 7D Mark II offers impressive specifications that, according to the TIPA jury, “appeal to photographers who know what a DSLR is capable of delivering.” The camera is equipped with an approximately 20.2-megapixel CMOS sensor and Canon’s Dual DIGIC 6 image processors, all housed within a weather- and dust-resistant magnesium alloy body.
- Best Easy Compact Camera: IXUS 160 / IXUS 165 / IXUS 170 ~ With the introduction of the IXUS 160, IXUS 165 and IXUS 170, the TIPA judges said, “Canon has gone against the tide that supposedly swept away the possibility of new and exciting entrants in [the compact] camera category.” Named “Best Easy Compact Camera,” the three “compact and very affordable” IXUS-series cameras provide both “long-range optical zoom and stunning image quality,” features that, according to the jury, camera phones lack.
- Best Expert DSLR Zoom Lens: EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM ~ Winner of the “Best Expert DSLR Zoom Lens” award, the Canon EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM was designed for full-frame SLR cameras, but is “equally beneficial” for APS-C digital SLR camera users who want to gain even more zoom range.
- Best Professional DSLR Lens: EF11-24mm f/4L USM ~ Earning TIPA’s “Best Professional DSLR Lens” title, the EF11-24mm f/4L USM ultra-wide-angle zoom lens provides users with access to the “widest angle of view5 yet achieved for a rectilinear full-frame DSLR zoom lens.”
