My guess....a rebodied R5 that looks like an old Canonet. I'm...come on, that's what the RF mount means? Range Finder?

A new EOS R system camera is coming in January [CR2]
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
This is the most forward thinking option. Instead of a $2000 body you keep for three years and sell for $1000, (or 3x if you prefer pro), why not a $40/month ($120/month pro) body on a lease contract, with generous options to send back to upgrade to something newer and better?
That odd patent application model with the odd grip pass-though is another possibility.
I was looking at the AE-1 days ago as I admired the Nikon retro versions. I think that would be ideal, and maybe brand it AE-1 with "Digital" where it said "Program". And style an EF adapter to make it look right with vintage lenses. Definitely produce a vintage style RF lens, maybve based on the RF 50 1.8, and a kit zoom.

APSC RF would annoy me as someone who has been getting into photography with the M line and would like an update to the M6 MK2 with EFCS and better 4k video that doesn't require I throw out and replace the lenses I already forked out on.
But I gather M users are in the minority so we're probably not who is going to be annoyed.
Maybe it will be a new RF-M mount camera which can work with EF-M lenses. That'd annoy the fanboys wanting Canon to ditch having separate mounts.

I would have bought it over my 2 slot R6, I never entered into that ricockulous argument, I was out shooting with what I had at the time.

I'd buy a Canon Monochrom in a heartbeat.Be great for astro if it has no AA filter & an infrared cutoff filter

Nothing controversial about this though as it's a cinema camera and people like me who mostly shoot stills have nothing to complain about other than Canon doesn't make a more stills dedicated version as well

Well the M6 mark ii is only 2 years old so how soon do you expect Canon to update it ? M users are hardly a minority as it's a very big selling line up.
My 7D mark ii is 7 years old and no sign of an update yet.
I had hoped for an aps-c R7 but it seems doubtful now and I've pretty much given up on it.
Can't see how EF-M lenses could be adapted to the R mount unless they made an R camera with a sensor that moves forward and backward 2mm and also has a way of adapting the different mounts which seems extremely unlikely.
Perhaps Canon will make 3 different aps-c cameras for the R mount:
- An R7 with a substantial body based on the R6 and priced about the same or a bit lower than the R6
- An R-s body that's super compact with similar internals to the R6 and priced as above.
- An R2 with a body based on the R3 and priced similar to the R5. (Very unlikely but what a dream camera !)
The ''Full Frame is the only acceptable Canon format" crowd will whine like crazy if any of these cameras are released

There are people convinced that the R5 never overheats and it is just a trick by Canon to sell more expensive cameras.

A 4MB camera that shoots at 240fps. Because "Canon knows". The new R1 will be 4MP so sports photographers and PJ'S can get those shots in quick.

Going by what I've read on these forums, the things people seem to not like the most are 20MP sensors, the idea of a APS-C RF and a camera focused on video. I think it could be a 24MP APS-C RF, or a 20MP entry-level Full frame RF. Or perhaps it will have the tilt screen like the M5.
