Canon is releasing a high-end L-series lens, the RF 20mm f/1.4 L VCM, a hybrid wide-angle prime lens that includes manual control of focus and aperture for use in video applications, and the Canon R50 V mirrorless camera, a compact, interchangeable RF lens mirrorless camera that is optimized for video content creation.

NEW YORK, March 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — B&H is pleased to share the EOS complement to the V-Series launch of the PowerShot V1 with the R50 V, a compact video-centric mirrorless camera, for creators eager to elevate their content with an interchangeable lens setup.

 

Weighing less than a pound in a hand-wieldable form factor, the camera sports a 24MP APS-C sensor and DIGIC X processor that shoots a cropped 4K60p and 4K30p with the sensor’s full width. Accompanying the R50 V camera release is a dedicated kit lens, the RF-S 14-30mm f/4-6.3 IS STM, available separately or bundled with the camera. Canon is also introducing a new wide angle prime lens, the RF 20mm f/1.4 L VCM for hybrid creators.

The Canon RF 20mm f/1.4 L VCM ultra-wide lens for hybrid creators is joining a growing lineup of hybrid lenses for Canon mirrorless systems and becoming the widest option of the set yet is the RF 20mm f/1.4 L VCM. Designed to satisfy both photographers and videographers’ needs, the Canon RF 20mm f/1.4 L VCM is a fast ultra-wide-angle prime lens with a function-first build that caters to the hybrid nature of modern image-making, emphasizing high image quality, responsive AF, minimized focus breathing, and intuitive, silent, and customizable handling.

The Canon RF 20mm f/1.4 L VCM lens featuring voice coil motor affords quiet, precise autofocus ideal for use in video, with multiple lens elements and coatings to correct for aberrations and glare. The weather-resistant lens has a 7.9″ minimum focus distance, takes 67mm front filters, and has a user-programmable function button. The lens’s wide aperture and field of view make it ideal for low-light and low depth-of-field use with landscapes, architecture, astrophotography, and even action photography.

The Canon RF 20mm f/1.4 lens comes with a newly released dedicated lens hood, EW-73H, to minimize glare and stray light and give additional protection against impact.

While the R50 V mirrorless camera does carry over much of its spec sheet from the original R50, the camera’s shift in design philosophy is immediately visible and it accentuates the new camera’s video-first approach. The body has shifted to a brick-like building block design, with sleek, rounded corners, a front record button, and—perhaps most important for content creators—a second, 1/4″-20 thread for mounting the camera in a vertical orientation.

The software doubles the hardware’s vertical optimization with shooting and playback available in the vertical orientation, along with auto level display during video recording.

To the predecessor’s video capabilities, the R50 V camera adds the cropped 4K60p video, along with Slow and Fast modes for creative control over frame rate and playback speed, improved subject detection in autofocus including Register People Priority, advanced video features such as Canon Log 3, and automatic exposure and scene modes for creators like Close-Up Demo and Smooth Skin.

The multi-function accessory shoe supports both LPCM 24-bit, 4-channel audio when fitted with a compatible microphone along with an external flash when used for photography. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities allow image transfer and review via smartphone, and remote operation when used with the Camera Connect app. The camera also has remarkable versatility in live streaming, offering four different modes of connection to computers, smartphones, and switchers.

While a video-first camera, the R50 V still offers up to 15 fps continuous shooting for photographers. It takes a UHS-II SD card and is compatible with the full suite of Canon RF lenses.

To complement the R50 V, Canon is releasing an optimized kit lens, the RF-S 14-30mm f/4-6.3 IS STM, available separately or bundled with the camera. A video-friendly lens, its 22-48mm full-frame equivalence comes with power zoom functionality, built-in optical stabilization, and a lead-screw type STM focusing motor for quiet and precise autofocus. It has a 5.9″ minimum focusing distance, making it useful in a wide range scenes and situations.

DataCore Strengthens Hyperconverged Infrastructure Leadership Across Edge, Remote Offices, and Small Business Markets with the Acquisition of StarWind

Published

on

By

The addition of StarWind expands DataCore’s reach in hyperconverged infrastructure capabilities to edge environments – building on its proven expertise in core data centers.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., May 25, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — DataCore Software, a leader in data infrastructure and management solutions, today announced its acquisition of StarWind Software, a trusted brand in hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) for edge and remote office/branch office (ROBO) environments, serving the unique requirements of small and mid-sized businesses. The acquisition extends DataCore’s reach beyond the core data center, enabling the delivery of streamlined, software-defined HCI solutions across highly distributed operations.

As businesses generate increasing volumes of mission-critical data at the edge, the need for simplified, scalable infrastructure has become a top priority. Gartner estimates that around 75% of enterprise data globally will be created and processed outside of traditional data centers. This shift is evident across numerous scenarios including retail chains processing in-store analytics, manufacturers preventing equipment failures with real-time monitoring, healthcare providers managing distributed patient data, and financial institutions requiring branch-level transaction processing. With StarWind’s technology, DataCore addresses these demands by offering a unified approach to HCI that reduces complexity and enhances operational efficiency across heterogeneous architectures.

The combined company now offers one of the industry’s most comprehensive storage portfolios – spanning block, file, S3 object, and container-native storage. This broader scope aligns with DataCore.NEXT, the company’s strategic vision to support diverse workloads and deployment models across core, edge, and cloud environments through flexible, best-of-breed software-defined solutions.

“This acquisition represents a significant leap toward realizing our DataCore.NEXT vision,” said Dave Zabrowski, CEO of DataCore. “Merging our strengths with StarWind’s trusted edge and ROBO expertise allows us to deliver reliable HCI that works seamlessly from central data centers to the most remote locations. We are focused on giving organizations greater choice, control, and a more straightforward path for managing data wherever it resides.”

Managing IT across branch, remote, and edge locations brings growing pressure to do more with fewer resources. With tighter budgets and limited onsite staff, organizations demand resilient, low-footprint platforms that are easy to deploy and manage. The joint capabilities of DataCore and StarWind directly address this need, providing an attractive alternative to legacy HCI approaches.

Virtual Effect, a long-standing DataCore partner, welcomed the news of the acquisition. “We love the DataCore.NEXT vision, which optimizes how customers manage data across core, cloud, and edge environments,” said John Greenwood, Chief Strategy Officer at Virtual Effect. “DataCore already leads the industry with one of the broadest software-defined storage portfolios. The addition of StarWind brings another best-in-class solution into the fold, further strengthening their edge offerings and reinforcing their commitment to customer agility and infrastructure independence.”

“Joining the DataCore family allows us to bring our high-performance virtual SAN technology to a wider audience,” said Anton Kolomyeytsev, CEO of StarWind. “With growing uncertainty around Broadcom-VMware’s vSAN licensing and pricing—particularly in distributed and cost-sensitive environments – organizations are rethinking their infrastructure strategies. Together with DataCore, we are delivering greater flexibility, performance, and freedom from hardware and hypervisor lock-in without compromising simplicity or control.”
