A new EOS R system camera is coming in January [CR2]

aps-h


bwahahahahahahahaha...you have got to admit, it would be a fanboi disruptor.

For a very affordable R, that's not a bad idea. Canon currently makes APS-H industrial sensors.

Maybe the engineers read this sight: It'll be an R6 with one card slot, The R6d, for 'dooooomed'

A mirrorless Rebel.

Canon already has one, the M50. In Japan, the M50 is called Kiss M. Kiss is what Canon calls Rebel DSLRs in Japan.

Medium Format ala Fuji.

EOS M with RF mount.

Perhaps what would most rile up the fanboys is a CR2 rumor about an R-series camera being announced in January that simply turns out to be false.

...
Really how many hobbyists will spend USD $3,900 on a camera body and then thousands more on lenses ?
...

Right, though, I'm not sure there could still be that many more hobbyists ready to spend 2000-2500$ for an APS-C only camera, even considering "crop-abilities" (even if I'm part of the interested people, I must admit I'm not optimistic on that one )

So you think this ist an option at all? I 'd love to see more M bodies, especially small/cheap M bodies, but I somehow doubt we will see more than a few minor updates to make the disscontinuation of this system leess abrupt. Is there any indication the EOS M system is not dead?

EOS M6 April 2017
EOS M100 August 2017
EOS M50 March 2018
EOS M200 and M6 mark II September 2019
EOS M50 mark II October 2020 to end of February 2021

Can’t really say if it has slowed down really for the moment and if those dates can be considered already as a relevant clue of a coming system death… especially considering current sales and market shares of EOS M50/mark II.
Considering also the industry slow pace potentially induced by Covid, I don’t see how we can evaluate the future of M system right now… let’s wait for 2022 and if nothing appears at that time, it will probably be time to worry about the future of this system a bit more, indeed.

What I hope is that if Canon ends this line-up, they will tell, they won't just let it die. They always been quite clear about discontinuing systems in the past, so let's hope they will keep up with this behaviour.

I'm assuming it's a rectro style camera similar to the sony and fuji and the new Nikon Zfc. So yea fan boy cry lol
Canon ergonomics are perfect especially when merged with an articulating screen and a top LCD Screen, so I'm quite interested in seeing this new style camera.

A *low* MP version of the R3.

You don't like 24 MP? OK, here's SIX megapixels. If you keep whining, we'll drop it down to 640 kilopixels!

Oh no...

 

[dilbert]

Contraversial? A B&W camera. 45MP, no interpolation.

Tiktok please

 

[Loswr]

Tiktok please

And a vertical sensor to go with it.

 

[John Wilde]

It seems that nothing outrages fanboys more than affordable, low-spec, entry-level cameras. Cripple hammer!, cripple hammer!, yada, yada, yada.

 

[AJ]

Tiktok please

Haha - even better!!

 

[Ian K]

Surely the thing that would really annoy a lot of people is an R5 Mark II at £1,000 cheaper. So soon!

 

[navastronia]

A 35mm range finder film camera

God, I wish

The new powershots have an option to stream straight to youtube, it would be nice to have that on the EOS family as well. Making sharing images easier is a good thing, when I'm out shooting alone, my 5yo loves to see pictures of the dragonflies and butterflies I encounter. With the Camera Connect App it's straight forward, but it takes a few minutes to get the connection up, send it to the phone, put it in a message, etc.
Having an option to tag an image as "send to phone" and have it do that in the background while shooting would be great. But like FPS in electronic shutter mode, you only get the option to drink from the firehose :/

My serious guesses:
1. Touch pad shutter button (as described in a patent which surfaced months ago).
2. a retro style camera with old tech
3. A super affordable, small FF body with no EVF
4. A camera with built-in
machine based image editing (like in SP) to compete with apple, Samsung, Huawei etc

I really think all three options are actually possible. I figure that No 1 would be the most controversial because I really changes the way we/ one take(s) a picture.
No 4 would be considered “controversial” altough it basically would simply transfer the technique most people take images with to a DSLM.

I like #3. Like the Sigma. Minimal size weight and cost full frame.

But #2 is fun.
