The camera is a big yawn for me, but I'm interested in the new lenses. Reportedly there are these EF versions:

• Canon Zoom Lens CN-E14.5-60mm T2.6 L S
• Canon Zoom Lens CN-E30-300mm T2.95-3.7 L S
• Canon Prime Lens CTZ-029 (24mm)
• Canon Prime Lens CTZ-030 (50mm)
• Canon Prime Lens CTZ-031 (85mm)
