Could there be two versions of the R8?

I'm guessing that the current R8 will remain and replace the RP as budget level FF MILC
The new one is potentially R8ii ie upgraded
Could be a weird option like R8a (astro mod) but this is unlikely due to 3rd party modifiers from clip in filters to various sensor level mods (Ha/IR etc)
Or maybe a different colour body?? Not sure if this has meant multiple body certifications being needed in the past.

Is this the sandwich lens discussed recently?
And, the 200-600 or whatever the 200-500 morphs into, I hope Canon have not done an 800/1200 job on the 100-300.

I don't see it as complaining, only hoping for an often mentioned high MP EOS to become real.
Having experienced the difference between the EOS R's 30 MP and the R5 II's 45 MP, I am ready for more!

The R had the same sensor as the 5Div with an AA-filter that was really strong. The R5 and R5ii have weak but effective AA filters to give them more than 45 Mpx vs 30 Mpx boost in resolution. I liked the 5Div but for its poor resolution. Ok if you don’t want Moire when photographing silk dresses but not for high resolution.

I fail to see any material difference

I've been complaining a lot about Canon criminally ignoring the RF 35 1.2... I started hoping and then complaning, but not anymore.

I'm loving the 100 MP of my Hassy

If only it had a long tele option....

Not sure about the rest of your message. Nikon, Sony, L Mount, Sigma and others (Hasselblad anyone?) have great glass too. Every major and minor lens system out there has different pros and cons.

I've stopped complaining about Canon not catering for my desires and wants and have spent my money on non-Canon gear. I'm not bitter, and as soon as Canon will release something I like I will consider sending money their way again. In the meantime my R5 keeps pleasing me and my X2D II serves me well indeed when needed.

The new compact camera's absolutely need to have raw instead of only jpeg...

The PowerShot V1 includes still photos RAW, which is a good sign.

The number of options in the hi-res stills focused camera class does seem to be dwindling though.

that re establishes Canon’s image quality leadership and competes with the A7R vi? Canon is the 35mm lens manufacturer with the quality glass that can truly utilize a 100 mp sensor. Canon, please give me a reason to stay.

probably just other priorities. basically whatever makes the most money.

They doubtless can, so maybe they don't want to. Perhaps the niche is too small?

DocInfoSci · Jun 30, 2026

Ah, it all comes together: The Canon R3 II is actually going to use a crop sensor — meaning it is also the R7 II; and it will be much smaller, like a pocket-sized full-grip square the size of a wallet — so it is also a Powershot; and in keeping with "3-series" tradition Canon will implement its new scent detection system for amazing AF control — but you probably need to calibrate it multiple times after eating different types of beans and tacos.

Nice to see the quote actually has meaning again. It didn't work for the team in 2018 and 2022

You can add 2026 to your list, just as we Dutch can add 2026 to a long list of missing penalty shoot outs

Canon has been rumored to be bringing out a Poweshot camera in 2026, and we know one is quite likely the Retro style R8ii. The second is likely the rumored Powershot camera.

Dragon · Jun 30, 2026

With all that has been said above, these look like they might be the anticipated PowerShot replacements. By all accounts, the PowerShot group has been rolled into the main camera group, so the listing numbers are likely ambiguous, and WiFi 4 makes more sense for a PowerShot than for an ILC. The recent Panasonic releases in this space have been uninspired and overpriced, and there is a big appetite in the market for a good compact or two. If Canon does a good job, new PowerShots could be a huge revenue opportunity.

John Wilde · Jun 30, 2026

I thought that by now we were supposed to get "new improved"

rumors about the next PowerShot.

What makes a camera pretty or even iconic?
My opinion is, that every tool that delivers best ergonomics is "pretty".

And even this design maybe finds people that will call it "pretty",
Not me, by the way.

Agreed! Honestly, I am mostly in the Canon system at this point because of their cameras. I keep periodically trying the others via friends and stores, but for me they look terrible (for the most part) and feel terrible. Most of Canon's new lenses are way overpriced for what they do, imho, but the camera bodies are absolutely terrific.

we need pocket size full frame and aps-c cameras. Think the EOS M6 line and equivalent 22-2 pancake. and a teeny tiny full frame box with a 40mm 2.8 pancake. i'd be in heaven if either came out.

EOS M6/M6 II were such rockstar cameras with superb controls and layout. a shame no successor. and the 22-2 pancake was so good.

Everyone else makes a FF box. why can't canon? Think Panasonic S9. I want my tiny Canon boxes with tiny lenses.

The two unannounced camera models, DS126947 registered on 15 April and DS126973 registered on 2 June, only support Wi-Fi 4 (64-QAM).

All Canon cameras announced since 2024 have been equipped with Wi-Fi 5 (256-QAM), except for the EOS R5 Mark II and EOS R1, which have Wi-Fi 6 (1024-QAM).

The two unannounced models are therefore entry-level models, possibly compact cameras.

Could they be something like Sony's RX100? A compact, maybe ILC, maybe not, designed for PHOTOGRAPHERS, not VLOGGERS? If not ILC, a lens with some decent reach and of course an EVF. Anyone remember the M6 II?
No, wait, I'm just dreaming…

R 100 II!
Make this great camera even better, I know, a very hard task!
