Canon's RF mount
The RF mount has a 12-pin connection between the camera and lens, enabling faster communication and greater bandwidth for data transfer. This results in faster autofocus performance and more responsive focusing. The RF mount also supports in-camera correction of optical aberrations and real-time Digital Lens Optimisation (DLO).
The RF mount supports the use of Canon EF and EF-S mount lenses with the help of lens adapters. The RF mount is also compatible with third-party lenses.

Panasonic's L-mount
Panasonic has concentrated on zooms, producing both f/2.8 and f/4 designs along with an unusual entry-level 20-60mm standard zoom. A matched 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 is on its roadmap, along with a set of f/1.8 primes.
Panasonic's lenses primarily make use of linear focus motors, but use a combination of linear and stepping motors for lenses such as the 50mm F1.4 and its 70-200s that require more glass to be moved around.
