Pros and cons

According to our camera lens expert

Zoom in extra far: the large 200-800mm zoom range makes the lens suitable for bird, wildlife, and sports photography.
Sharp handheld photos: you can take sharp handheld photos at slower shutter speeds thanks to the image stabilization.
Silent autofocus: the autofocus motor focuses silently, so you won’t hear distracting noise in your videos.
Less bright when zoomed in: if you zoom in, the lens becomes less light-sensitive and you capture less bright images.
Heavy during long sessions: the lens feels heavy quickly because of its high weight, so we recommend a tripod for long-term use.

Description

Photograph distant animals and athletes sharply with the Canon RF 200-800mm f/6.3-9 IS USM. This camera lens has a 200-800mm zoom range. That means you can capture birds, wild animals, and athletes in the stands up close. The image stabilization reduces vibrations during handheld recording. This way, you can record smooth videos and take sharp photos in the dark. The silent autofocus motor prevents distracting noise in your videos. Thanks to the Canon RF mount, it fits Canon full-frame and APS-C cameras.

Correction of previous review

Correction; in my previous review I wrote that it is annoying that the lens extends while walking, but there is a ring on the lens that can lock this. I had overlooked this, my apologies!

Review is 7,7 out of 10.

Excellent price/quality

Bizarre zoom range up to 800mm
Fairly handy for the type of lens
Good price-quality ratio (especially compared to L lenses)
f/9 at 800mm requires good light

A surprisingly powerful super telephoto zoom with an insane range of up to 800mm, ideal for wildlife and sports. Despite its hefty size (2kg), it can still be used handheld, thanks in part to strong image stabilisation. Autofocus is fast and quiet, image quality remains impressive up to ±600mm, then slightly softer. No L-series finish, but solid and compatible with RF extenders for even more range.

Large zoom range, silent AF, good IS, sharp up to 600mm

– f/9 at 800mm, heavy, no tripod foot standard Conclusion: Top lens for those who want to see far without an L-price tag.

The ideal lens for birds and wildlife while walking

Able to zoom in and out up to 800mm
Shoot handheld with the 5.5 stop stabilizer
Its weight makes it easy to take along on a short walk
No lock to prevent it from sliding out while walking

The ideal lens for birds and wildlife during a walk. The photos are really sharp! Its weight makes it easy to take with you on a not too long walk. A tripod is not necessary, because of the stabilizer in the lens you can still take pictures with it by hand. The zoom function is really nice. This allows you to first take a small bird in the picture and then zoom in on it. Another big advantage of this lens is that you don't immediately have a big problem when you are surprised by a rain shower. It can handle it! Personally, I think its only disadvantage is that it extends when you walk with it. Unfortunately, there is no lock on it. But for me, that is only a very small disadvantage on this fantastic lens that does not outweigh its advantages.
