    Well, I'm sort of laughing at myself. My original R is starting to maybe be getting old? It still looks new, actually, but this might be...

    Then the 1DX should be even more expensive, but it's not.

    Antiques are expensive.

    On the topic of retro-looking lenses, the 50/1.8 is about as retro an optics design as it gets. What's more retro than the good old...

    Do we know if the R8 mkII will only be available in a retro-design, or will it come with the "regular" design aswell? As I see it -...

    I don´t like the d-pad (or whatever the correct name is) as well and I also have trouble using because of my big hands. But without a...

    The different control layout and design would be the differentiator. And a smaller form factor with a smaller battery may keep the size...

    Is that necessary with the (presumed) introduction of the R6V for lower-end full frame video?

    By presenting it in neo-retro kitsch.

    Im not expecting anything but many things could be improved: Adding a joystick, better thermals, improved EVF

    The R8, albeit not being a great all-around camera, is the closest thing you'll get to a perfectly small, compact ff and very capable...

    Just get an R6 Mark II then. If they did all of that, nobody would buy the R6 Mark II, you would essentially get an R6 Mark II copy in a...

    I really don't like the idea of turning the R8 successor in some kind of "retro-not-really-retro" camera. Seems like it'll mess the R8...

    I've always envisioned my dream zoom lens, and 20-50 F4 (or equivalent) is it. just not too thrilled about it being a power zoom.. i...

    Probably they reviewed the Sony A9III and decided camera sensors had reached their pinnacle of awesomeness and they could hang it up...

    You're on a rumor site, it's all about distraction, dreams, and wasting a bit of time...

    I think rather than silver it would look distinctive and different if they did more with the darker gray color used on the RF mount and...

    I have been looking at the R8 as my travel camera. My R5 is to heavy with it L bracket attached and really not needed for those type...

    I doubt the new R8 will get dual card slots or IBIS. Basically a new sensor and updated AF, but the same limits to separate it from the...

    Sorry but I see this as a distraction and a bit of a waste of time, but that's just me, I guess, whatever turns your fancy. I think...

    I would like them to include IBIS so they could make their lenses smaller. It would also make Canon’s smallest lenses, the 50mm, the...

    I hope they don't appeal to the selfie demographic. They're already catered to by 95% of the market.

    Aside from the "retro" aesthetic, what are you expecting from the mark II that the original doesn't provide?
