I hope Canon brings in some rangefinder like camera, like M6 II is. Sony did it with A7C, Nikon with its Df camera. Come on, Canon.
2022 is scheduled to ‘The Year of the Camera Body’ [CR3]
- Thread starter Canon Rumors Guy
- Start date
I’m really anticipating a 35 1.2 myself. I use a 35 a lot for environmental and editorial style portrait work and I’m quite curious about what improvements I can get in depth of field separation on my subjects. Even if it’s minimal I’ll take what I can get.
I suspect it’s the optical design. The EF 70-300L had ‘reversed’ focus and zoom ring positions because it had a floating rear focusing group to improve sharpness at close focus distances.
It doesn’t bother me, the focus/zoom/control ring positions are the same on the RF 70-200/2.8L and RF 100-500L so for me black lenses are one set of controls and white are another.
> A high-megapixel RF mount camera? I haven’t heard a thing about in a long time, but I do believe it’s a worthwhile niche for Canon to go after.
The R5 is appealing but I'd happily take far more resolution. I don't care about shooting speed.

Any opinion on whether a mostly-still photog should just get the R5c when it comes out? Is it merely going to be more expensive and a few mm thicker for the cooling? Or is it somehow going to suck enough that you really don't want it unless you're heavily using the video?
I wouldn't count on too much. Less than 10 months ago the rumor was Canon was going to make a massive splash with a new camera and many many lenses in 2021. We did get the R3, but only 4 new mainstream RF lenses, a dual fisheye, and 2 tele RFs that were seemingly simple modifications of existing EF lens designs.
The world remains panicked over SARS Cov2 test results so 2022 may be only a little better than 2021 as far and new product introductions. And if Canon is focused on releasing three or so new camera bodies, that may mean only a few new lenses.

I don't know anything about specifics of sensor technology, so don't know what should and shouldn't be expected in that regard. But what I would guess is important to the random person in an R successor is that camera gets the better eye detection and tracking we've seen in the R5/6. I also full expect it will lose the touch bar, but what that means for the replacement controls I'm not sure. I feel like Canon would reserve the joystick for the R6 and above. The megapixels will be fine whatever Canon chooses for it. Single card slot and not much, if any, weather sealing are also safe bets.
I also wonder if the name will be as simple as calling it the R Mark II, or if they'll change it to something else.
As for lenses, I just want to see those autofocus Tilt-Shift lenses in action.

maybe canon could look up to sony and release 24, 35, 50, 85 in 1.4 with compact size and with pro focus and build.
that's something sorely missing at the moment.
there is glaring hole between 1.2 and 1.8/2.0 versions of the lenses.
1.2 too heavy and big and unwieldy and 1.8/2.0 too slow to focus and light build quality.
something i think most wedding photographers would more than welcome.

Do you think the new RP will have the R5 and R6 AF ? I mean animals eye detection
Finderless minimal full frame RF. For an adjunct to the R5. Which I’d like to see upgraded with an R3 body.

EOS-1D X Mark III
If you are a mostly-still photographer, why would you choose a cinema model over the R5?
@Canon Rumors Guy Do you know anything more about the cinema line except for the r5c? C50? C200 ii?
Consider the alternatives. I'm thinking of getting an XF605 camcorder. I already own a Vixia HF G60.
