THE MOST EXCITING PRODUCTS OF 2020
Asian Photography|January 2021
2020 might have not been the year we imagined it would be when we took on our New Year’s resolution, but it has had given us its fair share of excitement. Covid-19 really put a spanner in the works for everyone; we shifted from attending live launch events to watching them online. For some companies, the pandemic even caused a temporary disruption in their launch dates for new products – they faced all kinds of issues – events got cancelled, gear was delayed and factories were temporarily shut down. But all these problems haven’t stopped them from launching some of the most incredible products of all time in 2020. To show the resilience of the tech industry and how they combated the times of Covid despite so many problems, we compiled a list of all the high-tech products of 2020 that created a lot of buzz and left an indelible mark!
THE MOST EXCITING PRODUCTS OF 2020

Canon EOS R5 & EOS R6

Canon sent waves rippling when it launched the EOS R5 and EOS R6 back in July. Both were much-anticipated, full-frame mirrorless cameras from the brand for professional photographers as well as enthusiasts.

The internet is flooding with reviews of the EOS R5 and EOS R6, and there’s a good reason for it too. The EOS R5 is Canon’s flagship camera while the EOS R6 is a hybrid powerhouse when it comes to both, stills and videos. What makes the cameras stand out from the crowd is its ergonomic design – each button has a different feeling to it which makes excellent use of muscle memory thus making shooting an instinctual experience where you don’t have to look down at the camera to see if you pressed the right button. For example, the red record button on the camera is on a slightly lower plane. Moreover, the button has a more “springy” feel to it rather than “clicky” – making it easier for you to operate the camera without much fuss.

The headlining features for the EOS R5 are 8K video recording and 45 megapixels full-frame CMOS sensor whereas the EOS R6 banked on 4K video recording and 20.1 megapixels CMOS sensor inherited from the EOS 1-D Mark III. Moreover, both cameras are equipped with the brand’s advanced imaging processor and in-body image stabilizer.
