Canon’s journey with Speedlites has been exciting, but recently it hit a turning point with the discontinuation of the flagship Speedlite EL-1. This left a noticeable gap in their lineup, and while Profoto is often considered a top alternative for high-end lighting, many dental photographers still prefer to use Canon-branded gear to maintain full compatibility within their system.
There are rumors that Canon may soon announce a new Hybrid Speedlite, which could potentially take the position of the new flagship model. However, this information hasn’t been confirmed. If the rumors are true, this new Speedlite might include both traditional flash functionality and a video light, which would make it a versatile tool for both still photography and video documentation.
Canon’s Hybrid Speedlite Features for Dental Photographers
The addition of a video light is more than just a novelty. For dental photographers, this could offer significant benefits, especially when working in environments that require both still images and videos. Imagine shooting clinical photos and quickly transitioning to record video demonstrations using the same light source—no need to switch setups. This hybrid system would streamline workflows for those involved in intraoral photography and dental portfolio shoots.
One of the most anticipated features of this rumored Speedlite is the control over shallow depth of field (DOF), allowing dental professionals to create more artistic and dynamic images. The continuous lighting mode could be particularly useful for crafting soft, diffused backgrounds while keeping the subject, such as a dental restoration or smile design, in sharp focus. This combination of precise lighting and DOF control is invaluable for those aiming to elevate their dental photography into the realm of artistic presentation.
Canon hasn’t confirmed the specifics yet, but we’ve been told to expect new Speedlite features beyond the hybrid lighting. What exactly those features will be remains unclear. The official announcement could come as early as November, though delays in the EOS R era have been common, especially with products like Speedlites, which can take longer to reach the market.
It’s also worth noting that there has been a recall on the Speedlite EL-5, so it’s clear Canon is working to refine its lighting solutions. While there is no confirmed flagship model in the current lineup, we don’t expect Canon to leave this gap unfilled for long.
For now, dental photographers should keep an eye on the developments, as this new Hybrid Speedlite could represent a major leap forward for those who need to capture both photos and videos with professional lighting.
If you’re a dental photographer looking to upgrade your gear for intraoral photography or even detailed dental portfolio shots, the rumored release of the Canon EOS R6 Mark III should definitely be on your radar. Canon’s R6 line has been a favorite among professionals for its versatility, performance, and excellent price-to-quality ratio, making it one of the most popular full-frame mirrorless cameras, especially for us, working in the dental photography world.
Originally, many speculated that the EOS R6 Mark III would drop by the end of 2024, but the latest whispers point toward a release in the first quarter of 2025. An image of what’s believed to be the new model has surfaced, and while the number isn’t visible, there are noticeable differences compared to the EOS R6 Mark II. As we can see, there’s a new button on top — but its function remains a mystery.
EOS R6 Mark III: First specs
While the final specs are still up in the air, it’s expected that the EOS R6 Mark III will stick with the 24MP sensor, which is more than enough for the high-quality intraoral and portrait shots dental professionals need. Some rumors suggest it might even feature the advanced sensor from the EOS R3, which would significantly boost image quality, especially in low-light situations, such as when capturing precise details in dental photography.
Another exciting possibility for dental photographers is the dual card slot setup — one CFe and one SD — similar to what we see in the EOS R5 Mark II. This can be a huge advantage when shooting large amounts of data, like high-res dental photos or video content for dental photography courses, ensuring you have enough storage space for extended sessions.
Canon is known for using the EOS R6 series to introduce new features, and we’re expecting no less from the Mark III. The R6 Mark II introduced the “precapture” feature, allowing photographers to capture key moments more easily — a tool that could be invaluable for those working on intricate intraoral shots or dental portfolio photography. The Mark III is likely to continue this trend, adding more video capabilities and other features to streamline the workflow for dental photographers.
So, while we wait for the official details, dental photographers can look forward to some exciting advancements in the Canon EOS R6 Mark III, making it an excellent option for upgrading your dental photography setup. Stay tuned for more updates — we’ll keep you posted as soon as we know more!
If you’re looking for a dental photography lens to make your portrait and intraoral photos even better, it’s time to take some new players under consideration. Warning: you might be shocked!
For the longest time, Canon, Nikon and Sony were the kings of lenses and we, dental photographers, couldn’t imagine working in our dental offices without them. But things change! In the last few years Sigma and Tamron have not only released some seriously shout-worthy lenses, but they’re often a lot more affordable than first-party equivalents.
And while Canon stays on top of the sales rank, the second and third place are pretty surprising.
From the latest Japanese data there is just 3.3% separating the top 5 market shareholders in the interchangeable lens market, with Canon in first place (17.1%), Sigma in second (16%), Tamron coming in third (15.1%) followed by Sony in fourth (14.2%) and finally Nikon in fifth (13.8%).
The results show that the interchangeable lens market is booming, that the popular manufacturers aren’t as powerful as they used to be and that a famous name doesn’t mean an obvious success.
And, what’s more, cameras with interchangeable lenses are gaining in popularity and this is living proof of the fact that smartphones aren’t enough. Especially in dental digital photography.
If you’re using the Olympus system in your dental photography practice, this one’s for you!
The Micro 4/3 macro lens users finally can choose the long-focus lens.
The lens offers the highest ever magnification which will be helpful especially in intraoral photography. Shooting a single tooth won’t be an issue! What’s more, the lens allows creativity and it’s not so usual with other, regular macro lenses. We’re pretty sure you’ll be happy with it if macro photography is your hobby in general, apart from the dental photography industry.
The automatic stacking system lets the lens work smoothly with all the OM system cameras. Sharp pictures are guaranteed! The 2x macro combined with the Micro 4/3 gives the 4x magnification for the 35 mm format and when we’re talking stabilization, we mean perfection. You won’t need a tripod for intraoral photography and we know how big a difference it makes. Leaving a tripod at the dental office door means easier work and less inconveniences.
Now, let’s move on to the technical data.
The 90mm F3.5 Macro IS PRO is an autofocus lens that delivers up to 2x macro (or 4x with a 2x teleconverter). Its stabilization system is compatible with the Sync IS system, allowing it to work in conjunction with in-body stabilization of Olympus/OM System cameras.
The lens is constructed from 18 elements, arranged in 13 groups. Its design has two focus groups that act in conjunction, allowing very close focus when the focus limit switch is in the ‘Macro’ position. The lens also has a focus ring that can be snapped back to reveal a focus distance scale and (on Olympus or OM System cameras) engage manual focus.
Of course, its macro possibilities are only one of many features and it will cope with a dental portrait and creating a dental portfolio as well.
KEY FEATURES
High resolution macro lens
Exceptional Magnification–Delivers 4x equivalent shooting when paired with the MC-20 2x teleconverter
Autofocus without limits–High speed, high precision AF
High performance 5-axis image stabilization
Built to enable split-second macro shooting capabilities
IP534 splash proof and dustproof performance
Freezeproof down to 14°F
Fluorine coating
Weight: approx. 453 g5 (lens only)
The OM System 90mm F3.5 macro IS pro’s price tag is $1,499.99.
You may expect it year after year but hold your horses. If we weren’t sure until now, now we are, because Canon says it without any doubt: DLSRs are alive and they’re fine and you can work with them as a dental photographer.
Canon still accounts for a third of the entire camera market, with as many as 1.8 million digital SLRs being sold last year! And of course, Canon sells more than anyone else.
Why would anyone think that this is the end of the DSLR era? Well, there were no new models shown during the last CP+ event. But there’s an easy explanation to that.
“CP+ is a place to present new products, and that’s why you won’t see many DSLRs this year. All companies are of course focusing on hybrids. But SLRs still represent 30% of global sales. That means there’s always demand for this range – and most DSLRs sold globally are made by Canon.
“There is also a high volume of lenses that are still intended for the DSLR ecosystem. We do not envisage a sudden end to SLRs, nor an instant switch to hybrids. Sure, there will likely be a gradual decline, but the demand is still there. – says Go Tokura, general manager of Canon’s Imaging Division.
Interestingly, as we can see, Canon distinguishes three camera types at the moment: mirrorless, hybrid and DSLRs. And the latter is still hanging in there.
Are you a DSLR or mirrorless fan in your dental office?
It’s our mission as a camera manufacturer to figure out ways to make any camera system easier and more comfortable to operate. So, in terms of the eye control system, or eye-controlled focus, we intend to deploy this to various other models as well. At the same time, we’d like to improve the performance and usability. – says Canon management at the CP+ Expo in Japan.
This means we can expect the eye-controlled AF in the next EOS Rs!
For us, dental photographers, it can be a groundbreaking feature. Taking intraoral photos means adjusting the focus more and more precisely. To be honest, it takes years of practice to master such conditions. With the eye-controlled AF digital dental photography and intraoral photography will become easier and more approachable.
The feature is already available in the R3, but for a dental digital camera, it’s quite expensive. We’re really happy to hear that every dental photographer, regardless of their cameras’ price, will be able to use this feature.
We’re just hoping it will be possible sooner rather than later!
As usual, we’ll keep you posted. Stay with us for more dental photography news!
Canon’s new speedlite – awaited also by dental photographers – has some problems on its way
Canon’ statement says: Regarding the “Speedlite EL-2022”, which was announced on November 11, 2 and scheduled to be released in March 2023, due to production reasons, we have decided to postpone the release to around the summer of 2023 because we cannot prepare a sufficient supply for the release.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
(Before change) Scheduled to be released in March 2023
(After change) Scheduled to be released around summer 2023
The Speedlite EL-5 is to be Canon’s first to take advantage of the multi-function hotshoe found on its latest EOS R series mirrorless cameras. It seems to be a potential, new dental photography equipment to choose.
Meike’s new APS-C mirrorless cameras 60mm f/2.8 Macro Lens has just been announced.
New, affordable lens for intraoral and portrait photography? Check out our cameras online lesson and Macro Lens guide – it will help you with the right choice for your dental photography set! If you’re looking for a low budget APS-C mirrorless camera lens, this one can be one of your options: new Meike’s 60mm f/2.8 Macro Lens.
The lens will be available in various mounts, including Sony E, Fujifilm X, Nikon Z, Canon EF-M and RF, and Micro Four Thirds.
Its price, $190, seems very reasonable as a dental photography accessory. The effective focal length depends on the mount, but on APS-C cameras, it will be roughly a 90mm equivalent macro lens, while on Micro Four Thirds, it’ll be a 120mm macro prime.
Looks like an affordable offer for dental photographers, always looking for the best macro shoots possible.
Meike’s 60mm f/2.8 Macro Lens Specs:
a nine-bladed aperture diaphragm
1:1 magnification at its minimum focus distance of 6.9 inches (17.5 centimeters)
a manual aperture control ring with a ridged grip surface
weighs just over 10.5 ounces (300 grams)
price: $190
The lens is compatible with:
E mount : Sony E mount A7III A9 NEX 3 3N 5 NEX 5T NEX 5R NEX 6 7 A5000 A5100 A6000 A6100 A6300 A6500 .etc
When it comes to practicality, please note that the shutter ring is placed on the front of the lens and it’s quite easy to change it accidentally while setting the focus. This is a thing to remember!
For the price, the lens’ work looks very decent. We need to lower our expectations, though. There’s no AF or any other automation, so setting the focus needs more focus 😉 Low budget comes with its price and that’s something to always keep in mind.
To sum up: please consider this device only if you’re not able to afford a better and more expensive one. Otherwise, don’t bother.
You’d like to customize your shutter sounds when working with a patient? The Nikon’s Z9 will give it to you!
Nikon shared the selectable shutter sound during a live stream that it published to YouTube which was spotted by Nikon Rumors. There will be three sounds available: the standard Z9 click, a more DSLR-like click, and finally a shutter sound that is more akin to what has been heard from a Nikon film camera. The shutter sound volume can be adjusted between one and five — one being quiet, and five being the loudest.
Will the patient appreciate the real sound during a shoot? We’ll see. Rumor has it Nikon will consider adding other sounds, including fun ones such as the cat’s meow. If that doesn’t make your patient laugh, we don’t know what else will!
Consistency is the key to success! Your post production is your signature.
What is a digital workflow in dental photography? We’re working with hundreds of photos everyday and proper documentation is the best way to keep them in order.

Is Nikon dropping the DSLR in favor of the mirrorless sector?
The DSLR cameras have gained recognition around the world and among photographers in various industries. Dental photography included! Everyone knows some of the immortal models, like Nikon D750, working flawlessly for many, many years. Even though the camera itself was often passed from hand to hand.
Recent Nikon rumors made us think: will dental photographers be forced to change their habits and start using mirrorless cameras? Or is it only a premature panic?
Even though the company’s focusing on the mirrorless cameras, Nikon isn’t planning to exit the DSLR branch yet. “It is true that we are concentrating development resources on mirrorless cameras,” but “We have not decided to end or withdraw from development. to produce, sell, and support single-lens reflex cameras” says Mr. Tokunari, Nikon’s Senior Managing Exec Officer/CFO.
This confirms Nikon’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Tokusei Yoshiaki announcement at the financial results briefing for the April-June 2022 period: “Nikon will continue to operate the single-lens reflex camera business. We have not decided to withdraw from development.”
It looks like dental photographers can still use Nikon’s DLSRs and we shouldn’t be worried. Yet.
We’ll keep you posted as usual!

Canon has launched the new EOS R6 Mark II full-frame mirrorless camera and, as we know already, it is supposed to be the fastest small camera ever. What do the first reviews tell us and is this camera fine for dental photography?
First, the Canon EOS R6 Mark II shoots twice as fast as the original EOS R6 (which is now discontinued in favor of the new model). Some say, it’s basically a new Mini R3 and call it a sports, action, and events shooting monster thanks to a dramatically improved autofocus system thanks to a new AI chip, an improved buffer, as well as the ability to shoot up to 40 frames per second.
This impressive autofocus could be a game-changer when it comes to dental portrait photography! And if you’re a fan of autofocus in intraoral photography as well, this one will surely meet your expectations. And as for other photography freaks (myself included), the speed of taking photos will be pure pleasure, especially with continuous light.
In my opinion, the higher pixel density is the biggest asset. The EOS R6 was always a bit of an odd fish. Its 20MP sensor was always going to compare badly to its 24MP rivals, and the R6 was not cheap either. Personally, I would be really glad if the pixels number would reach 30 million.
So let’s take a look at the key differences between the Canon EOS R6 II and the EOS R6 to see what Canon has done and the difference it’s likely to make:
1. Design
When it comes to the physical buttons, Canon loves to move them around, right? And so, here we’re getting an entirely different system for that on the R6 II that moves the power button from the left side of the body to the right, replacing it with a dedicated photo/video switch. It can be difficult to switch your memory to the new settings and it can be seen as a problem.
Canon EOS R6: 3.69m dot EVF, vari-angle screen, weather seals
Physically, the EOS R6 II and R6 are largely indistinguishable. They both have dust and weather sealing, they both have a 3.69m-dot EVF and vari-angle rear screen and both offer dual SD UHS-II card slots.
They even use the same LP-E6NH batteries and BG-R10 battery grip, though Canon does claim the R6 II offers a 50% improvement in battery life when using the LCD screen. I can’t wait to check this feature in practice: worrying about charging the battery can be exhausting.
2. Sensor
Canon EOS R6 II: 24.1 full-frame CMOS, up to ISO 102,400
Canon EOS R6: 20.1 full-frame CMOS, up to ISO 102,400
That’s great! The 24MP resolution of the R6 II is the same as that of its key rivals, whereas the old EOS R6 seemed oddly lacking. It’s not enough to upgrade for, but it’s enough to tip the balance more in Canon’s favor against the Nikon Z6 II, Lumix S1 or Sony A7 IV.
3. Autofocus
Canon EOS R6 II: Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, EV -6.5, extended subject recognition
Canon EOS R6: Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, -6.5EV
The R6 was already pretty advanced when it comes to AF, but the EOS R6II goes further. It features improved deep learning AI subject tracking. You can choose subject types manually or leave the camera to decide what it’s looking at. You can set left or right-eye tracking, and if the eyes can’t be detected the R6 II will switch to the face; if that’s hidden it will switch to head detection, and if that’s not possible is will recognize the subject’s body.
I can’t wait to check the AF in dental macrophotography and how it will cope with the teeth sharpness. This is definitely something dental photographers can be happy with.
4. Image Stabilization
Both cameras have IBIS systems offering up to 8 stops of sync IS shake compensation, dependent on the lens in use.
Canon EOS R6 II: Up to 8 stops
Canon EOS R6: Up to 8 stops
Canon claims the in-body image stabilization in the EOS R6 II offers the world’s most effective IS performance, with up to 8 stops of compensation with combined lens/body IS and the right lenses. However, the EOS R6 before it also offered up to 8 stops of compensation, so we will assume that this particular feature hasn’t changed.
If you’re taking dental photos in continuous light, this feature can provide you with a less blurred result. I’ll check it, but in my opinion the previous stabilization was also fine!
6K ProRes Raw video with a compatible Atomos recorder
Raw burst mode with pre-capture
Moving subject HDR mode
3.68M-dot EVF capable of up to 120 fps refresh (0.76x magnification)
1.62M-dot, 3-inch rear touchscreen
Dual UHS-II SD card slots
760 shot-per-charge battery rating (CIPA)
The Canon EOS R6 Mark II goes on sale 29 November – and is set to cost $3,599 /£2,779.99 / AU$4,499 body only.
Summarise:
The Canon EOS R6 Mark II has, faster shooting, more megapixels, and better video features – but is that enough to tempt R6 users in dental photography into upgrading? Perhaps not – but the new specs are likely to make the EOS R6 II a much more compelling camera for hybrid stills/video photographers looking for its particular brand of speed and versatility but without taking a drop in resolution.
If you already have the EOS R6, the improvements in the R6 II are modest enough and don’t instantly make your camera obsolete. But, if you were considering the R6 but put off solely by its 20MP sensor, the EOS R6 II should banish all your doubts!

Laowa PeriProbe Lens: Can it be used in Dental Photography?
Venus Optics has just unveiled a new unique macro lens: the Laowa 24mm T14 2x PeriProbe. With the same features as the previous Laowa probe lens, it also provides a surprise: a 90-degree rotating periscope tip at the end!
Thanks to its long, narrow tube, the PeriProbe can reach deep inside tiny holes or can be helpful in dental intraoral photography. Its periscope can “dive” into the mouth with a 360-degree rotation while keeping the majority of the camera out of the way. Can you imagine that?
The PeriProbe lens comes with a 1/2-20-inch thread towards the end for attaching magic arms and extra lighting in order to illuminate tiny objects in the macro range.
The Venus Optics Laowa 24mm T14 2x PeriProbe lens is already available and it costs $2,299.
Is this the future of dental intraoral photography? It sure looks interesting, but will it be possible to use in our dental photography industry? As we all know, intraoral photography can be tricky with its narrow photo object!
In our opinion, the lens can be an interesting addition to your dental photography kit.
As we predict – thanks to many trade rumors – Canon is about to announce the Canon EOS R7 and Canon EOS R10, two mirrorless models with APS-C sensors.
But there’s more. Various sources say that these new models could be direct replacement for the Canon EOS 7D Mark II and Canon EOS 90D. That’s all according to news site CanonWatch, who think we could have an official announcement as soon as 24 May! The EOS R7 was thought to be a replacement for the Canon EOS 7D line, as Canon has been focusing on its EOS R line-up for some time, and a mirrorless version of the EOS 7D II could definitely attract dental photographers who want the reach of an APS-C sensor (and a more affordable body).
Will the new EOS R7 and EOS R10 be the right choice for dental photographers?
EOS R7: Specs
What do the rumors say? EOS R7’s technical specs include a 32.5-MP APS-C sensor with Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus, a 15-30fps continuous shooting speed, 4K video recording at 60/50fps (NTSC/PAL), 1080p recording at 120/100fps, and In-Body Image Stabilization.
We can be sure: such specs seem really enough for a dental photographer.
EOS R10: Is it happening at all?
We’re still not sure whether the EOS R10 is a real thing. None of these reports have been officially commented on by Canon itself.
But – if it is true – Canon Rumors has listed a few possible specs for the EOS R10, which if true, could make the EOS M camera line seem redundant. These include a 24.2MP sensor, 15-23fps (using the mechanical/electronic shutter), and 1x UHS-II SD card slot. These are more modest than the EOS R7, and suggest that the EOS R10 could be pitched as the entry-level RF Mount camera with an APS-C image sensor.
If CanonWatch has a good source, we only need to wait a few days and everything should be clear! Stay tuned, we’ll keep you posted.

Laowa 85mm f/5.6 2x Ultra Macro for L-Mount Available for Any Full Frame
What a news from Venus Optics! The Laowa 85mm f/5.6 2x Ultra Macro APO it launched last year for Nikon Z, Canon RF, Sony E, and Leica M mounts is being released for Leica L-Mount. This means we can purchase the Smallest 2x Macro for Any Full Frame Camera!
Just a quick reminder: Venus Optics says that the lens can focus from infinity to 2x magnification and features a minimum focusing distance of 6.31-inches. At 2x magnification, small objects that are normally difficult to see are captured with considerable detail. Moreover, the lens is small and light which means that it is more flexible and easier to use in a variety of shooting situations. For us, dental photographers, this lens will be comfortable while shooting intraoral pictures, with high quality of details guaranteed.
The lens features three extra-low dispersion elements that eliminate color fringing at both in-focus and out-of-focus areas, which it claims allows the lens to render magnified photos with no chromatic aberration. The front element does not extend outwards when focus is changed which avoids collision with subjects and prevents dust from entering the lens.
The Smallest 2x Macro for Any Full Frame Camera Price
The Laowa 85mm f/5.6 2x Ultra Macro APO is, according to Venus Optics, the smallest 2x macro lens available for full-frame cameras. It weighs 259 grams and is 3.18-inches long by 2.08-inches wide.
The new L-mount option for the Laowa 85mm f/5.6 2x Ultra Macro APO is available for $450.
