Breaking down the latest Canon gear to appear for certification

This past week we saw an updated list of new and unreleased Canon gear that has appeared for certifications with various agencies around the globe. As always, the gear in question uses code names and not the regular naming conventions Canon uses. We spoke with some people over the weekend and think we know what most of the new gear is going to be.

Canon DSLRs

The DSLRs are the hardest to figure out at the moment, as there is going to be some changes in how the lineup looks in 2019. While we hope to see a Canon EOS 7D Mark III, we haven't heard anything that we'd consider reliable. If we go by the certification list below, there is a 32mp DSLR coming that we think is the Canon EOS 80D replacement and not the Canon EOS 7D Mark III. We think that a 32mp sensor would be too much for the speedy APS-C line of cameras. We could be wrong, but the EOS 7D was 18mp and the EOS 7D Mark II only jumped to 20.2mp. A 12mp jump to 32mp just doesn't seem likely.

Canon Mirrorless

As for the new full-frame mirrorless that has appeared in the list. We do not believe it will be below the recently announced Canon EOS R, as the pricing of the new mirrorless camera is quite competitive and there will be obvious price drops over the next year. I think we'll be seeing a $1999 Canon EOS R in the next 6-8 months. I can't see Canon announcing a camera that is priced below that. So expect this to be a higher-end EOS R mirrorless camera. *update – I didn't want to mention it (but it has been on the forum), but we don't think an EOS R launching with the EOS 6D Mark II sensor and no 4K would be received all that well.

Canon PowerShot

The only cameras that sell really well in the PowerShot G series line are the PowerShot G9 X Mark II and the PowerShot G7 X Mark II, so expect to see both of these cameras replaced sooner than later. We're told to expect a “big jump” in capabilities in the PowerShot G7 X line.
