There is another RF mount camera coming in 2020 [CR2]

[navastronia]

Please let it be a 135 f/1.2; 1.4; 1.8; 2.0. or 70-150 f/2.0

I'm waiting for one of the optics guys to reply and tell us that a 135/1.2 would weigh 20 lbs and cost $10K

Could it be an RF mount Cine camera? Hmmm, Canon has a line of EF-mount Cine lenses to go with their EF-mount Cine cameras. making an RF-mount Cine camera before they have RF Cine lenses seems weird, unless they expect users to adapt EF glass.

I think it’s safe to expect an 8K Cine camera soon. When Apple showcased the Mac Pro, they used an 8K footage from an unreleased Canon Cine camera.

Exactly what I was thinking. There's no point in putting an RF mount on a video camera that has a Super 35 sensor. Getting the 8K abilities of the R5 into a video camera seems the only reason for this move. Still, so far the video performance of the RF lenses is not up to snuff -- I have the 28-70mm F2 and, while the images are gorgeous, it breathes on focus pulls and lengthens when zooming (neither is good for video). Canon seems to think there's no optical downside of adapting EF lenses to the RF cameras but I'm hoping the introduction of an RF mount video camera signals some very nice RF Cine lenses are coming.

There is no difference at all in performance with or without an adapter for autofocus canon lenses (in some cases with an adapter on RF is actually faster than native EF) - so there definitely wont be a difference with manual focus cine lenses. I see no reason why adapting would be a problem for anyone and I am sure Canon will one day implement native RF lenses. So, I see no reason why this cant happen today.

Not to mention that most (or all?) of those Canon CN-E lenses are manual focus.

Fingers crossed for:
- XC-10/15 style body
- R5 internals
- RF mount instead of an attached lens

~$4500 and then YouTube can. shut. up. about. video.

I would shut up for the rest of my life.

 

[secant]

R5a like the Ra?

Please let it be a 135 f/1.2; 1.4; 1.8; 2.0. or 70-150 f/2.0

I miss the days that I would get so excited for fast long glass.

 

[epic.one]

Or would it be the flagship crop camera to be announced?

This is not happening.
The RF mount is designed for full frame sensors. At this point, Canon would rather make a high-end M camera to replace the 7D Mark 2.

Better be the C100 III (or rather R100?).

Take the C100 body, shrink it down slightly (or leave as is honestly), RF mount, IBIS, touch LCD, full sensor DPAF II, dual UHS-II slots - change nothing else.

12mp S35 sensor with R5 video specs minus the 8k/raw. If you really wanted to show us love you could throw in an SDI port.

Then take my money.

And please:

• Keep the integrated C100 flippy screen that can be closed. I can shoot an 8 hour wedding on 2 batteries because I can disable it easily. Meanwhile my C200 eats through batteries because there's no way to disable the screen (despite requesting this feature in firmware ad nauseam). The boot time of Cinema cams is much too long to turn them off in a spontaneous documentary environment.
• Keep the ND filters manually geared. It's actually quicker to change on the go than the C200/C300/C500's electronically changed NDs
• Keep audio/XLR inputs the same and in the handle. Would be great if my C100 I & II handles could work on this new body, and vice versa.

R3 with 90 mpx and no video...please?

Yeah coz 65-70MP would be lame, right?

 

[slclick]

RF mount security camera with 7 million iso

 

[BakaBokeh]

A full frame 16K RF Cinema to squash the Blackmagic's puny little 12K super35?

 

[IcyBergs]

R3 with 90 mpx and no video...please?

DLA - f/1.4

R3 with 90 mpx and no video...please?

Leaving the video out won't save a dime.

Well, I thought the news of the R5, R6, and death of the 5D series meant I'd consumed all the Canon news of interest for a while, and I wouldn't be refreshing this site every 15 minutes anymore. I've been wrong before and I was wrong again. See you in 15.

It's a remake. A true R5 without overheating 8k crap. $3300.

Only 6.6 lbs and $3k for 135mm f/1.4:

It's just an R5 they perforated with holes and have an external 4" fan blowing onto it from the outside.

$9,000.

Oh, thank you all. I was really laughing just to myself with that post, but after a jillion likes: I feel seen.

You made my day.

Didn't we already see this wiz bang thing already on this site, say 6 months ago? It was a cube looking device that was being shown? I'll do some digging and find it.

New Canon designs - possible updates to the ME200S-SH or ME20F-SH

Canon filed two new designs, that details a camera that looks similar to the existing ME20F-SH or the ME200S-SH block camera systems. However there are distinct physical differences in the actual chassis, and back of the camera from the existing cameras. The first one, the back of the camera...

Canon Patent Application: Cooling a modular Canon CINI Camera

As both the bitrate and the resolution of video cameras increase, cooling will remain one of the most important design considerations. So much engineering that Canon does for video is the technology that couldn't be implemented in a traditional stills camera that it's a little wonder Canon...

It sure sounds like it might be one of these designs. Imagine 8k on an actual video camera unit, that is made for shooting video! No overheating!
