At #5 and #4, respectively, are the RF 15-35mm and RF 24-70mm &#8220;twin&#8221; lenses, designed with a similar aesthetic, launched on the same day, and with an identical price. They continued to have almost identical sales figures through the year with the RF 24-70mm slightly ahead due to a great end-of-year refurbished deal. The final member of the f\/2.8 zoom trinity (and in our opinion the lens most worth upgrading to), the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cpricewatch.com\/product\/06982\/Canon-RF-70-200mm-f2.8L-IS-USM-price.html\">RF 70-200mm<\/a>, joined them on this year&#8217;s list, and pulled ahead to the #3 position with an incredible end-of-year refurbished deal.

Next-generation mirrorless, with 12 fps, 4K60 video, and in-body image stabilization, all at a $2499 introductory price point?

Supply issues? Conspiracy theories? The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cpricewatch.com\/product\/07161\/Canon-EOS-R5-price.html\">EOS R5<\/a> was definitely the most <i>talked about<\/i> camera in 2020 &#8212; especially with its groundbreaking 8K video (albeit only 20 minutes at a time). Many questioned whether the &#8220;overheating issue&#8221; was an excuse for a camera deliberately crippled via software. For the first months, with the cameras impossible to find, conspiracy theories abounded about secret recalls and supply issues.<\/p>\n<p>The explanation was simpler though: this is an astounding camera and everyone wanted it, we&#8217;ve seen more interest on this camera than any other item in the last ten years of tracking Canon. In the end Canon pulled through and supplied enough <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cpricewatch.com\/product\/07161\/Canon-EOS-R5-price.html\">EOS R5<\/a> to make it also the <i>best selling<\/i> item this year (at least amongst our readers!), and the top of our list. Will it stay there in 2021, or does Canon have more in-store for RF mount?
