Nokishita has uncovered certification information for a new Canon EOS M camera. This camera has the code name DS126843, which is unusual for an EOS M camera.
Canon News notes than the “DS” model number isn't normal for the EOS M cameras, as they have historically started with “PC”. This could mean nothing, or perhaps it means there has been some internal shakeup in Canon and that the Powershot group is no longer developing EOS M cameras.
This camera looks to retain the small size of the EOS M lineup as it uses the LP-E12 battery and not the larger LP-E6 family of batteries.
We have previously reported that two new EOS M cameras were coming later in 2020, and this should confirm at least one is coming quite soon.
That would be great because the current one is quite slow to focus. Altough there are other lenses Canon should update first.
Simple, cost. MicroUSB is only for data transfer on these cameras. USB Type C adds PD functionality to allow recharging of the battery with a compatible charger. That adds complexity to the board and a higher cost to manufacture. The M50 was roughly half the price of the M5 when it launched, and I doubt that will change with the M50 Mark II when the M5 Mark II/M7 launches shortly after it.
You and me both! :)
I guess the rumored "higher end" kit lens won't be bundled with the M50 Mark II, unless that would be for a separate certification.
Kinda like R to R5 went from HDMI mini to micro.
Canon is saying:
Haha!!
You'll change your mind.
but 1st will ask us:
"Did I make a mistake?"
Haha!
Canon used a Sony HDMI cable for testing? The one they had laying around that came with their A7siii? Oh wait, Sony didn't use a micro or even mini cable.
Haha!
It looks like my M-50 is about to become "obsolete" though I doubt I'll bother upgrading it.
Good quality like M6II (skipping/binning then upsample) or like 90D (proper downsample)?
A new M5 Mark II better have IBIS (for stills, too... Not just video). It needs to have dual SD slots and an optional battery grip, too. (An Arca-Swiss dovetail built into the grip would be very nice, too.)
The M6 is not that bad and much better than what the current M50 can do.
