Canon registers another camera for certification

[Del Paso]

I want a tiny form factor ILC! Make Canon pocketable again!

And I want a big non-pocketable-at-all camera. Make cameras bigger, hands don't shrink!
Canon cameras should be designed by Dutch or Norwegian designers!

In their most recent financial documents Canon wrote:

"As for Imaging, starting with cameras, from the second quarter, in addition to the optimization of market inventory, through the enhancement of our EOS R system lineup, we will increase our mirrorless camera ratio, thereby facilitating sales growth.

The second quarter goes through the end of June, so we should be able to see something new fairly soon.

We have plenty of big cameras, not a single pocketable, like the M100/M6.

Plenty of big cameras? Is the R5 big? Depends on the point of view. I don't think.
For me, a handholdable camera starts with the 5 D IV, R3 being optimal. There are already plenty of pocketable cameras on the market, all the MFTs, Fuji's APS/Cs, Sony's APS/cs, Canon's R7, R8, R, RP (with RF 28mm ), Leica's Q2 & 3.
Would even smaller Canon cameras make sense? For many, certainly. I surely understand your wishes!
But I was only expressing my very personal opinion, since I hate pressing 3 buttons at a time when I want to press only one. my nice little Olympus MFT sleeps unused in a cupboard. The smaller the camera, the more cramped it is. Fine if you have small hands, I don't. And this why I abhor small cameras, and keep hoping for a larger R5 II. (Knowing it won't happen).

Could number 5 be the high MP EOS (R5 S)?

This new camera does not have wifi 6 and therefore it seems unlikely to me. I expect that Canon would put wifi 6 in a high megapixel body since this is a camera that will be used in a studio environment and, with bigger file sizes, would benefit from better wifi.

Powershot V10 Model name is DS126883

It'd be great. There are lots of the younger generation of shooters that have never really used a viewfinder as they likely started their journey on their smartphone. I personally never use the EVF on my R50.

I have the removeable EVF for my M6mk2. Rarely do I use it. Carry it along somewhere in the bag just in case.

Exactly. They need to update and release that new V model soon. Im on the fence after seeing the Insta 360 go 3.

I'd love an M6 Mark II with an RF mount (updated to current tech obviously)

Canon was on to something with their non-EVF EOS M cameras and their feature packed G1Xmk3. I just picked up the M6mk2 for street photography because the RP is still too big. If Fuji had figured out their manufacturing issues, I would have picked up the new X100VI.

What was the serial or code for the R5C ?
Will they be releasing a mark 2?

Guess you're right...

Or doom Canon, depending on the youtuber in question

Could number 5 be the high MP EOS (R5 S)?

since it has a lower end WiFi.. at least what Craig and I were batting around was some camera on the low end of the spectrum, otherwise, it should have had WiFI 6 - especially a high MP monster that needs to transmit large files.

 

[blackcoffee17]

I expect the R5II, R1, and an APS-C vlog style camera.

 

[LSXPhotog]

My pie in the sky dream is that this is the retro, fun consumer Canon camera from my dreams. haha Hopefully we find out more details soon.

 

[Exploreshootshare]

Could number 5 be the high MP EOS (R5 S)?

I believe the R5s would be a high-end camera and therefore it would have Wifi 6.

Would it match the specs for the R7 and therefore R7mkii?

I wouldn't consider the R5 as big. Its the same size as my Panny GH5 and a good chunk smaller than a 5D IV.

Thinking about 5 cams yet to be released, supposedly all in 2024... oh my...
Has it ever been that much in one year? I can't remember... maybe if I count the pro cine cams in...

2020 was a banner year for Canon MILCs: 1DX3, Rebel T8i, R5, R6, M50 Mark II

Some of those have mirrors…

 

[downhill on water]

My dream would be for the the three stills cameras to be R1, R5m2, and R7m2. Dreams don't often come true.
