Canon EOS R100 specifications, which is possibly Canon’s next camera to be announced [CR1]
- Thread starter Canon Rumors Guy
- Start date
To be fair they were VERY late to the MILFF market and IBIS, as well as backside illumination (BI) sensor. Arguably they're now late to accept third-party AF lenses on their MILFF mount. I think they're largely caught up now but weren't the trendsetter in DR either, if I recall correctly, for quite a few years. In comparison, when I started shooting EOS in '96, USM gave them a towering advantage, and were the only vendor with pellicle mirrors, TS, and always seemed to have an extra third of a stop or a little bit more zoom range than Nikon.

To be fair though, Sony still don't have a touch menu system in most of their range. Until they sort that out it's not appropriate to hold them up as futuristic innovators since they're stuck solidly in the 1990's. Sony are great at numbers and hype but I came back to Canon because their cameras are more usable to get the job done.

It may be just a patent application, but I thought it had been announced as a forthcoming product. I need to check
.Either way, it demonstrates that Canon are indeed still "true innovators".
EDIT: here is the quote from CR:
"I have reported on the coming tilt-shift lenses for the RF mount, these are apparently going to be the first tilt-shift lenses with autofocus.
I have been told that Canon plans to introduce two new autofocus tilt-shift lenses alongside a high-megapixel camera. The announcement timeframe for such a camera is still unknown, but the source claims the first half of 2022 is extremely likely and that these lenses were to come in late 2021.
The two rumored autofocus tilt-shift lenses from Canon will be the Canon TS-R 14mm f/4L and Canon TS-R 24mm f/3.5L."
I'd definitely get the TS-R 14mm F4L if it makes it as far as production. Better for me than a wide-zoom, and huge *fun* to use. I do sometimes forget that my TS-E 24mm F3.5L is manual focus, and just hit the button, because everything looks sharp in an EVF even if it's a little out of focus.

Everyone comparing this to an FX30 needs to breathe into a paper bag. This is a $750 price level entry level kit to pick up at Walmart for your significant other around the holidays. No pro's or semi-pros would ever consider this (they have plenty of serious options from Sony and Panasonic at the $1500-2500 price level), and Canon is certainly not targeting them with this.
It really goes to show how skewed the pro and prosumer perspective is, that you are discussing specs that normal people will never need or understand. 4k60? really? This will make any difference to anyone in the target market for this camera? IBIS would make a big difference, but they won't know what it is or that this camera is missing it, just that their pictures in anything except daylight are all coming out blurry. This camera is not designed to be used, just to be bought, gifted, played with for a few weeks, and thrown in a desk drawer after the novelty or the trip to the Galapagos is over.
And that gets to the heart of the matter. Let's be honest. No one needs this camera. Have you seen what an iPhone 14 is capable of? I mean, seriously now. You can get beautiful images with macro, normal and telephoto lenses. Stunning, high contrast, very good dynamic range, color corrected, stabilized video. And once you're done shooting, it's all right there for you, on the most connected, supported and capable device that 99% of people may ever need. And there's a new iphone coming out in a year with even BETTER features.
All the specs of this camera are irrelevant, because (in my opinion) Canon is not even trying to build something that most people who will buy will want to continue to use. They are working from the engineering and sales side down, not from the consumer side up.
The competition to this camera is not the FX30, it's an iPhone, and Canon will continue to lose, even if it makes just enough to tread water.

Nice, lovely, cr**, d***ed, whatever...
I'm not in the market for it, so ...
Bring it on the table, so we can move on to the next body...

If the Canon patent applications* for autofocus tilt/shift lenses, mirror lenses with autofocus and lens stabilization, and other lens innovations became reality, then Canon would be so ahead of everyone else.
* Some may be patents by now.

If this is supposed to be a Rebel with an RF mount then we also need to see budget lenses.
But like viktorshikhman said, no one needs this kind of camera anymore. Most people have all the video capability they need in their phones if they're just wanting to make TikTok videos or Instagram stories.
If Canon wants to make it the next M6 Mark II then it needs to be in the same price range, and it sorely needs a wide angle RF-S lens for vlogging. Adding features like USB charging while recording would make it much easier for streamers too.
