New Sigma 200mm f/2.0 Lens Leaks

The official launch of Sigma’s much-anticipated 200mm f/2.0 is right around the corner, and we’ve now got our first leaked photo of it (shown above). As rumored, the lens comes in white and looks a lot like Sigma’s 300-600mm f/4 in both design and controls. It’s expected to have a 105mm filter thread and, according to Sonyalpharumors, “impressively fast autofocus.” The weight is said to be just under 2 kilograms, which would put it on the lighter side for this kind of lens but still clearly a hefty, pro-level piece of gear.

A 200mm f/2.0 is a rare find in the mirrorless world, giving photographers a fast telephoto option at a focal length most brands only cover with slower zooms. While Sigma hasn’t shared any official optical details yet, the bar will be high for image quality, especially if it’s carrying the Sports series badge.

Sigma is expected to officially announce the lens on August 19, 2025. That same event could also see the debut of the Sigma 12mm f/1.4 for APS-C cameras and the updated 35mm f/1.2 II for full-frame. If all three are unveiled together, it will be one of Sigma’s biggest drops in years. We will see on August 19!

Two Canon Compact Cameras Return

It looked for a while like the Canon G7 X Mark III and SX740 HS might be on their way out, but Canon has now confirmed they are actually stepping up production. For months, the G7 X Mark III (a compact camera released back in 2019) has been hard to find, often popping up at inflated prices when it was available at all. Things took a turn in May 2025 when Canon Japan announced it was pausing orders for both the G7 X Mark III and the SX740 HS, a move that usually signals a model is being phased out.

Turns out, that’s not the case this time. In its latest quarterly results, Canon said it plans to increase production of compact cameras where demand is still strong. Alongside newer models like the PowerShot V series, the company is also bringing the G7 X Mark III and SX740 HS back into regular production. As of August 1, 2025, Canon Japan has started taking orders for both models again. Availability could still be a bit patchy at first, though, as Canon admits a large number of orders came in as soon as sales resumed.

While it may take a little while for stock to catch up, it’s a positive sign for anyone who still prefers a dedicated pocket camera. Demand for smaller, compact cameras has definitely risen in the past few years and it seems like Canon is responding. There are also whispers of a completely new Canon compact camera possibly arriving before the end of 2025, but that is a story for another day.

Something You Have To Check Out

AI is something that most photographers/creatives see critically, and for absolutely good reason. HOWEVER the fact at the end of the day is that there sadly is no stopping AI, so the best thing you can do is learn how to use AI to your own advantage, whether that be with helping you with daily tasks, writing, editing, your day-job etc.

This is where the Chat-GPT Guide from Hubspot comes in. It will teach you how to use AI to your advantage, increase your work efficiency (something every creative needs) and more!
