Lost in all of the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III interest is the fact that CP+ begins next month and that it will be a major show for Canon announcements.
We have been told that Canon will introduce a new EOS R camera ahead of the show in February, along with 2 new RF mount lenses.
It's expected Canon will announce a high megapixel addition to the EOS R lineup, a camera that has been rumored for quite some time.
The same source said the EOS R Mark II is coming in 2020, but the exact time we'd see an announcement was unknown to them.
We will be getting at least one new prime and one new zoom lens announced for the RF mount and I wouldn't be surprised if we see another round of development announcements for RF mount lenses and maybe cameras.
Yeah I'd say for EF system people who are getting one more pro camera, they will get one more "do everything" camera at least. Doubt they would get another high MP body, I think they want to emphasize the quality of the RF glass so will funnel those people to the "February" body.
Personally I'm conflicted. I would like a better body than my R ASAP but I don't know that I want to deal with the particulars of a 5DS-like body...30 MP is "enough" though I would take 40 - 50, and I shoot a lot of low light, and the R is as slow in terms of FPS as I would want. If this new camera will be 80 MP it would be great if there is a lower-resolution uncompressed raw format.
Soo what?
I'm still waiting so hard for the Eos R mkII
I thought that made little practical difference for FF sensors? I've certainly seen technically-minded people say that...
