14+20+24+35+50+ 85 = 228. Double that and I'll start getting interested.

It has to have CFExpress B to do any of the 7K and raw codecs, but perhaps just a single slot.

If this camera doesn’t have IBIS, I think it will struggle. I use my R6 III way more than my C50 for video because it has IBIS (I like fast, manual focus primes). A big reason for the FX3, S1 II, and ZR success is that you can keep them small and handheld because of the IBIS. Plenty of ways to differentiate the R6V from the C50 (handle, XLR, timecode, cooling) and R6 III (EVF, mechanical shutter) and still have IBIS.

Not to sound dramatic, but I used the ZR and was blown away. The 4" screen should be mandatory for any video-focused camera going forward (nice work, Kinefinity Vista).

My main wishlist for R8ii is IBIS. For me to buy a retro camera, it will have to be totally retro. Like FM2. Yum. This mock-up with a silver top plastic-like - not good for me.

A testable set of predictions. Courageous!

Well written article and it seems logical. Now, let´s wait and see what Canon actually is up too

Antonn and Alan,

Beautiful series. Well done, guys.

The Nikon ZR uses CFexpress Type B and a microSD card to fit everything into its thin body. We haven't seen that configuration from Canon yet, but microSD is going to start appearing in more cameras this year and in the future.

MicroSD? Interesting. The PowerShot V10 has a microSD slot, as does my little PowerShot Zoom monocular (I took a couple of pictures on it once, then spent quite a while trying to find the little adapter for the card).

Timeout didn't last very long lol

Internal ND filters please.

R6V makes more sense than an R8V to be kitted with the 20-50 PZ as that won't be a cheap lens.

I don't know how many are familiar with this, the courting ritual of the Great Crested Grebe. It needs a movie or as here an animated gif to appreciate it. (R5ii 800mm).

The mating has another ritual. The female squats on the nest waiting for the male, the male mounts and mates, they then have a post mating display of beaks.

If you're going to troll, at least make your posts interesting, funny, or intelligent-sounding. Trolling is one thing, but a boring troll? That's just pathetic.

Wow, that's really a surprise to me. I honestly believed in a R8V given we have a R50V and dedicated video camera which shares the sensor with the R6iii. Plus, the R6iii doesn't seem to be too bad for video (actually, quite from what I read). We will just wait and see.

Since I am not a video guy the R6V is not for me, but I´m very interested in what the R8ii with retro aesthetics and the R7ii will bring.

Seeing the 20-50mm F/4 release is music to my ears! I hope it is very small.

R3 + RF600/4 + TC1.4, Podiceps cristatus

It'll be the same as the RF-S 14-30 PZ.

Does that have internal zoom? never used that lens before.

so are we now thinking the R7ii isn't in production at all? I am actively in the market, been 15 years since my last camera purchase but my main focus is on my children with youth sports. If an R7ii isn't coming, I don't love the idea of buying an R7 that is 3+ years old now. Should I bump up to the R6III? or do you still think the R7ii is this summer?

The 20-50mm PZ will be pretty awesome if the power zoom function does not require an external motor (like it does on the 24-105mm f2.8 Z. That's probably the difference between the PZ and Z naming.

But I would assume the lens would have to have an internal zoom, which is also great. While I would have loved an f2.8, if it has internal zoom with a (GREAT) range of 20-50mm, with IS, is around 600-grams, and has the PZ functionality built into the lens (and doesn't need the bulky external motor), then it's a huge win and instant buy for me.

R6V means it will have IBIS？

maybe not. R5C didnt. but probably means LP-E6 battery and dual card slots.

What a bargain ! Will it work with the new CINE-SERVO 50-1000mm T5.0-8.9 ?
For only just over $100K I'll be able to shoot video of kiwi and owls in the dark without any flash

In Canon's official video they pair it with the new 40-1200(?)! Your dreams can come true !

InternalRevenue said:

Will that “L” mean a $1200+ price tag? I assume the “R6” moniker will come with a premium as well; I was hoping for a more S9/R8 class body price, hopefully it’s not much more than the ZR at least.

Click to expand...

Hard to see a 20-50/4 L PZ coming in much if any less expensive than the 14-35/4 L which currently lists at $1499. Same 2.5x zoom range, and while 20 on the wide end is easier to achieve than 14, you trade that for PZ. So, I'd guess $1299 at a minimum, $1499 certainly possible. In the R8V iteration of the rumor I'd been assuming that it would be an STM level of quality putting it in the 899/999 range. I guess not a huge delta in the overall scale of things, but add in the R6 premium and you're probably looking at a $3k+ kit price rather than $2k- for an R8/STM level kit.

A retro camera might be my only chance to get a Canon EOS R camera with a tilting screen. It would make my day if there is a solid leak regarding that. I am unreasonably mad at the fully articulating screens. The screen on a 5D original without live view is even less infuriating.
