Here are the first images and specifications of the Canon EOS R and the new RF mount lenses

[Tangent]

Zooms seem to have 3 rings and 50 has 2?

Maybe can adjust some parameters from the lens like Samsung and Nikon Z.

Yeah, Two rings on prime lens, also wondering if that is a control ring. Then the control ring mount adapter makes more sense -- to allow control parameters through the adapter ring when using ef lenses, since obviously they don't have control ring. Interesting.

Sweet!!! Looks really nice

It’s a touchpad for swiping left right. Replaced the rear wheel. 21st century tech!

in that location. I know the camera is smaller but wouldn't that be a bit difficult to reach with your thumb? The rear wheel is easy to use because it is in the perfect location.

Nothing said both would absolutely come at the same time. There will probably be another next year. What's confusing is that this is coming in at 30MP when rumors had two models at 24ish and 40+ish. This first release is kinda straddling the middle, so thinking the next one may even be the rumored 5DSR Mk II (mirrorless version) with a 50+ MP sensor.

Would Canon even want to release another super high res DSLR in a 5 body if they also plan to make a high res MILC that can also accommodate EF glass natively? Seems like there would be no room for both.

Given that Canon has shown experimental 100MP sensors, and even up to 250MP sensors, I think that a ‘modern” version of their current 50.6MP sensor is more than possible. Adding the onboard amplifier as they’re finally doing adds 1.5 stops of dynamic range and noise ratio alone. Add to that a newer design to add at least another 0.5 stop, and that sensor becomes very good indeed.

But they might want a more sophisticated version with full dual pixel, etc. No reason why we shouldn’t expect that, though it will be me biting my fingernails until I see it for myself.

Love the lenses though. I hope they release a roadmap for future lenses as Nikon did. I hope these are all going to be available when the camera is, and not rolled out over a year, or more. I know Canon can produce more lenses a year than Nikon can with their new factory. Possibly that factory was built in preparation of needing a bunch of new lenses for this very purpose.

I'd give $300 for sure, $500 maybe, and $700 probably not for the body only.

I'm guessing that means I won't be getting one.

Or anything else that comes close to it....

Camera is much smaller. You can reach the thumb nubbin on the 5D4, you can reach the pad.

All of those lenses might end up being fly-by-wire....other than that, I'm excited. Several of these photos look incredibly photoshopped, but that could just be the low resolution.

If this thing really pops in at under $2k, this will be pure market gold.

Wouldn't say that I was in the market for an FF camera. Many factors would have made this a no go. I sold my 6D as it was too big and heavy, so glad to see it is much smaller and lighter. Anyhting approaching the M5 is size would have been way too small for any larger lens, so that would have made me say no. The size is just a bit larger than the 77D - and very similar to my Olympus E-M1, so that really seems perfect for me. Since the lenses will have IS, IBIS is a complete non-factor for me (and I presume a very large percent of new buyers, who do not have older lenses). Eye-AF is something I would turn off immediately anyway. Two slots would be nice, but I expect one - and that is perfectly OK. Glad it soes not have too many MPs as well! If the price is really around 2K, then I may have to sell some of my old gear to make room for this one!

Without the wheel to roll aperture, this would make sense. Maybe it could tell the variable ND to dial up or down too lol

 

[Sibir Lupus]

Yea I think so too.

Also, what's that new looking button on the back right below the top LCD? it's a long thin button with some arrows? A direction pad for left/right? What would that be for?

Yeah, I'm a bit stumped by that as well. The only possible thing I can think of is a zoom switch for a powered zoom lens like the EF-S 18-135 USM with Power Zoom Adapter PZ-E1. Canon also has a Cinema EOS lens or two with power zoom.

 

[vjlex]

Doesn't appear to have a joystick to move the focus points. I'm surprised they would leave that out.

Also, given those specs, does anyone else think this may be the "high-end" model? It almost sounds too good to be true for a $1900 camera from Canon.

Yeah, that's my thinking too. While we still don't know the full-specs, I don't see this as the lower-end sub-$2000 offering. I think we're looking at at least $3000 for this one.

Please confirm dual card slot

Hmm, possible. But why would you need that when you have a touch screen??

 

[miketcool]

Because you can operate it while looking through the EVF.

True heh. We'll find out in a few short days!

 

[keriboi]

Looks like there will be just one. Will be $3000

Where are you seeing the price?? And it doesn't have enough MP to justify that price compared to the competition.

 

[clicstudio]

I had this Pentax Auto 110 in the 80s. Looks a little bigger than the new EOS R

Good eye. Hmmm....I wonder what that is. Notice there are red lines with the text caption removed.
