Canon's Dual-Lens VR Monster: Is 180 VR the Future of Family Memories or Just Expensive Gimmick Bait?

Canon's Dual-Lens VR Monster: Is 180 VR the Future of Family Memories or Just Expensive Gimmick Bait?

I’ll be honest: when I first heard “5.2mm f/2.8 double lens,” I assumed it was some kind of April Fool’s joke Canon forgot to schedule properly. A dual-lens system for shooting virtual reality content on a mirrorless body? That sounds like something from a trade show floor that never ships. But Canon shipped it. And after watching Tony and Chelsea Northrup dig into it, I came away thinking this is one of those pieces of gear that’s either ten years early or right on time, and the difference matters a lot depending on how you shoot.
