Canon is proud to receive four awards from the 2019 Technical Image Press Association (TIPA), including one for the EOS RP.  This also marks the 25th year of recognition from TIPA, a nod to Canon as a leader in the world of photography and impressive history of innovation – from its EF lenses to the new revolutionary EOS R System. Representing 30 industry magazines from 15 countries across five continents, the TIPA World Awards is one of the most prestigious photo and imaging awards in the world.

Let’s meet the four Canon products that have been newly crowned at the 2019 TIPA World Awards:
