I'm wondering if the head scratching part of a new R mount might be a body that is essentially the same as the rumored 90d, but with an RF mount and mirrorless. That would be a head scratcher to some but not entirely out of character for Canon. This is the same company that released the 80d followed up by the 77d months later.I hear ya.. the thing I want the most is amazing low light performance as my favourite subjects often live in dull, light deprived jungles. I more often than not crop a final image too so a lower number of bigger pixels isn’t really the way to go for me. If the 90D with it’s rumoured 32mpx sensor or whatever it was is clean up to iso 3200 I’ll be happy with that!

If that happened and I was offered the option I'd skip upgrading to a 90d and buy that hypothetical camera as it would allow me to start aquiring RF lenses.
Yeah, but a portable power bank would help. However I think you'd run into overheating.(What I need is a 1dx ii and a 400mm f2.8
Good point! Yer, I never understood the 77D either. One thing that mirrorless just couldn’t provide for me, and I’m guessing many others, is the ability to use it as a spotting scope. Think 8 hours or so at a bird nest, waiting for the occupant to poke its beak out. Surely that’d just flatten a mirrorless body’s battery?
Or an R mount 7D-specced APS-C body with a compact RF-S 15-150mm zoom?
What would be a head scratcher about that?Eos Rn, dual cards, + joystick.
Yes, a lower pixel count with IBIS would be good. I have no interest in a larger pixel count. I use a 5DIV and that is great, but a smaller camera like a R would be nice, but it has to have IBIS for me to bite.That’s pretty much what I’m hoping for, with a low Megapixel count. Wouldn’t say no to that patented flip up lcd.
Thinking of buying an EOS-R now and keeping it as a camera B/backup to whatever new model is introduced... hopefully sometime before September.
I think it is this. Some Canon exec is allready on the record as saying there is a cheaper more crippled FF version of the RP comming. You left a zero off the end of the price of the 50 1.8.EOS RPP with
- plastic mount
- LP-E 12 battery
- 12 MPix FF sensor with DPAF
- no adapter included
- @ 699 $/€
- with RF 50mm 1.8 lens for 100 $ /€ more?
The head scratcher will be the very good high ISO IQ and the 4k with only 1.1x crop.
Unless it is a Hello Kitty Special Edition for my boudoir shoots, I'm out.A white Kiss RPK with limited edition matching white RF 50 1.8 STM (Only in Japan)
