A new Canon ILC has hit certification

SteB1 · Apr 7, 2021

I think we can have a pretty good guess that this is an RF 1Dx type camera. With the Olympics coming and a 600mm f4 and 400mm f2.8 about to be announced. If this camera isn't it, we can expect one. The only question has always been whether Canon had the technology they were satisfied with for a camera like this. That's because this type of camera has a long model life so it needs to hold it's own for several years.

Sounds interesting. I’ll take that Canon R1 with the global shutter please.

Why not the EOS R5C? Or it was already registered?

It would make sense to announce their flagship along with these long primes!

Because Canon is expected to announce the RF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM and RF 600mm f/4L IS USM lenses this month. Those types of lenses are ideally paired with the 1D series equivalent body. The pending launch of these lenses all but guarantees that the soon to be announced body will be the R1.

I certainly think they can at least match Sony and Nikon's offering

Probably not, as canon usually updates their professional series cameras every 4 years. We will probably see an R5 Mk ii in 2024.

Hopefully there may also be a teaser on the R7!

I'm okay without a GS as long as the readout speed matches or exceeds that of the Sony A1. The fast readout, 45-50MP (okay, I won't sniff at 60-80MP) combined with quad-pixel AF will make for a phenomenal action/wildlife camera that will make Sony's A1 look like yesterday's news. Oh, add a body similar to the pre-announced Nikon Z9 and Canon has me for life.

And why is it certified in Russia?

Yeah, I understand. I was absolutely joking on that one.

The cameras have to de cetrified in every country where they will be sold.

I hope the quad AF does not mean quad Bayer as well.

Let's welcome the Canon 900D (unless it already exists)... hope for the worst, then you can never be disappointed.

It will be something expensive. Canon doesn't care about affordable cameras anymore.

$6,999 is my guess. If it’s the R1 spec’d as rumored I’ll preorder.

To be fair, thats because consumers have smartphones. The people that would buy a ILC under £1000 shrunk significantly due to smartphones computational photographing their way into images that on first glance look like or better than the image from a APSC.
