The Latest News:
Metabones’ Upgraded EF-MFT Adapters

Adapter maker Metabones has announced a new feature called TruePDAF Technology, which the company says improves autofocus and image stabilisation performance when adapting Canon EF lenses to Micro Four Thirds cameras. The update is arriving for the company’s newer Speed Booster Mark II and Smart Adapter Mark II products and is essentially a firmware-based upgrade that takes advantage of newer hardware inside the updated adapters.
TruePDAF works by using additional lens profile data from more than 100 supported EF lenses and sending more detailed metadata directly to the camera body. According to Metabones, compatible lenses can transmit information similar to what native lenses already provide, allowing cameras to make better autofocus calculations. The company says improvements are most noticeable in more difficult situations, including low light, low-contrast scenes, autofocus near the edges of the frame, and focusing close to minimum focus distance. Compatible lenses can be identified through the adapter itself, supported combinations cause the adapter LED to glow pink instead of white.
There are still quite a few limitations, though. Metabones says the best results currently require either the Panasonic GH7or Panasonic G9 II, noting that other cameras will not achieve the same near-native performance. The company later added that cameras like the Olympus E-M1 and OM-1 series still show improvements, although results appear less consistent. The supported lens list is fairly broad and includes both full-frame and APS-C EF lenses from Canon, along with third-party lenses from Sigma, Tamron, and Samyang. The new Metabones EF-MFT Mark II adapters start at $399.
The Latest Canon PowerShot Rumours

According to recent rumours, Canon is working on a new PowerShot camera expected around September 2026, but reports suggest it could look very different from previous G-series cameras. Multiple sources describe the camera as having “nothing like previous G series cameras,” which suggests people waiting for a straightforward replacement to the aging PowerShot G7 X Mark III may have to expect something different this time around.
The biggest change seems to be Canon’s direction overall. After recent releases like the PowerShot V1 and V10, which were heavily focused on creators and video, rumours now suggest Canon could be switching back to photography. Current reports point toward the use of a new 1-inch sensor, which could allow Canon to build something with more zoom flexibility while keeping the camera relatively compact. Pricing rumours place the camera somewhere between $700 and $1,000, although actual specifications remain mostly unclear for now.
The camera itself may only be part of Canon’s plans. Rumours also suggest the company is developing an entirely new smartphone app specifically for future PowerShot cameras, potentially replacing or expanding beyond the existing Camera Connect app. Features like RAW processing, LUT support, and tighter camera-to-phone integration have been mentioned. And this may not be the only PowerShot on the way either. Current rumours continue suggesting Canon could introduce as many as three new PowerShot models over the next 6–12 months, including an entry-level camera, a long-zoom model, and a higher-end flagship compact.
