We have learned from multiple sources that Canon will launch a new VCM L lens later this month. For the moment, we can’t go into great detail, but it will be very well received from the Canon universe.
New VCM L Lens
We have shown the patent for the optical design of the upcoming VCM L lens previously on this site, so you can take a gander at that.
As you all know, Canon hates me and will continue to refuse to make an RF 28mm f/1.4L. Sony won’t make one either, so I won’t be jumping ship for the orange.
Canon EOS RV
We’re also hearing that we won’t be seeing the Canon EOS RV this month, and it will get its own announcement date in the future. I can’t imagine Canon doing a development announcement for an APS-C camera.
Canon really does move announcement dates a fair bit. It’s been frustrating, but we’ve all seen the EOS RV, so we know it’s coming.
The PowerShot V1 and EOS R50 V are still scheduled to launch, there will also be a lens for the EOS R50 V announced.
Canon EOS R50 V
We’ve reported about this camera for a while and the model’s name may have caused us some confusion, but it is still scheduled to be announced later this month along with some kind of kit lens. The kit lens won’t really excite the readership here, but it’s coming.
Canon PowerShot V1
The Canon PowerShot V1 will get a global announcement later this month, with shipping schedule to begin in late April. While the camera has already appeared on Canon’s supply notice, I imagine there will still be inventory for the rest of the world once it is launched.
Summary
Unless something changes between now and March 26, we won’t be seeing the Canon EOS RV being announced. It may be the type of product that will deserve its own day in the sun, or perhaps alongside a certain full-frame camera that is coming in the near future.
More to come
I´d also be happy for a 28mm f1.4 L since you've been waiting much, much longer than I have 🙂 I can wait a little longer.
There's at least one RF 28mm already, while there's no 20mm at all.
I hope I get a high end RF 28mm before retirement. I mean, I still got 30+ years to go, so maybe it will happen...
...a third party, most likely. 🙄
- Cheaper design/smaller than ff image circle
- Forced profile or wickedly bad results
- 1400.00 price ish
- Many many website headlines calling this price "affordable". Many commenters raging this silly headline.
R50v expectations:- M62 like design... psyche!! Same-ish goofy chunky current r50 design with more heft
- Limited 4k120 with moderate crop (small rec. Profile?)
- Same ol reliable/also-ran 24mp technology + potential read speed updates that canon will all "upgraded" but photography websites/podcasts will say we can't see where
- Less cheap buttons...(15% chance)
- Ai upscaling feature
- False color and zebras
- No Ibis, not a chance
- Priced just below an r8, causing lots of frustrated comments regarding classic/weird marketing segmentation
- Obvious missing features leading unsympathetic commenters to just reply with 'Canon is number one', 'sky is falling', ' and that complainers should just sell all canon gear and quit hoping'
I'm thinking I got at least half of this correct. I may or may not have a source in Canon marketing group..ahem.Seriously though, will Cannon knock this out of the park or will this be yet another it would be good if if if camera. Remains to be seen. And if you took (half) of that list seriously, you need to chill out, it's not that serious.
Cheers/hah/groan
I wonder if Canon is going to announce anything video related for NAB in April?
A) 100 1.4 -> Would be my go to lense for indoor sports, especially basketball. 85 often feels a little bit to short. 135 often is to narrow. Of course i could just use my-70-200 2.8. But the 1.4 prime look hits different. And most times lightning isn't good. Yeah, my R5II and R3 could handle high ISO. But a 100 1.4 would be very welcomed.
B) 28 1.4 -> I love that focal length. But I already have the 24 1.4 VCM. Not sure if I would keeping both. Maybe I would trade in my 24 for the 28.
Stupid integrity.
