Canon EOS R100 specifications, which is possibly Canon’s next camera to be announced [CR1]

[EOS 4 Life]

Interesting that Sony can make a very very small FF but can’t cant or hasn’t shown to be able to thus far.

The RF mount is much larger and has a longer flange distance.

 

[EOS 4 Life]

And compared to the M6II or even the original M, the RP is huuuuuuuge.

The Sony E mount is pretty close to the size and flange distance of the Canon E-FM mount.

... and if this replaces the M50...

No reason to think so at this time. Probably Canon's best selling camera overall. Buy one of you want one. If you have the lense you want in the M sysstem, it will all last you for another decade or more.

 

[Czardoom]

The best part of having those wonderfully light, capable, and small EOS M cameras was not having to also cart around heavy glass. The Fuji X-H2 is looking better all the time. Thanks for leaving all your customers who invested in EOS M withering in the wind, Canon. That's right out of Microsoft's playbook.

If you have invested in the M system, just keep using it. It does exactly what is meant to do, offer a small, simple system that is compact and easy to take with you wherever you go.

With front page posts Craig tends to slip in "EOS M is DOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED" remarks whenever he can. You'll get used to it

Somehow I don't see anything with a worse sensor being a replacement for the M6 Mark II. The R7 is the only APS-C camera that Canon makes that is as good as an M6 Mark II, but still doesn't have any fast, wide primes available. Canon doesn't make a fast, wide prime that can keep up with the 16mm 1.4 from Sigma on the M6 II yet. So, really, the M6 II is still the best Canon APS-C for indoor talking head video, still.

Highly unlikely, IMO. This is likely to be a novice model that will sell for less than half of the price of the Sony.

While I never said that this is what it would be, I said if it was, I would buy it ASAP.

 

[Joel C]

This is an entry level or slightly higher product designed for a $750 price level. The FX30 is $1800. And Canon would never ever eat into dedicated cinema product lines, especially at this price level.

I was not comparing this to the FX30. I said that if it was something that compared I would buy it. You need to breathe kid.
Canon, for some unknown reason continues to not innovate in the direction that it's customers want or need.

 

[Hector1970]

Would seem to be a good spec 12FPS mechanical. Sensor would be pretty good. I’m old fashioned at this stage and use the viewfinder but lots of younger photographers only use the screen. Nice back up camera.

Canon, for some unknown reason continues to not innovate in the direction that it's customers want or need.

So you believe that you know better than Canon what the majority of their customers want and need? Have you aggregated data from millions of product registrations over several decades? Conducted dozens of global market surveys?

You need to stop making an ass of yourself, kid. If Canon isn’t innovating in a direction that you want or need, it’s fine to say so but really, that’s a you problem.

Don’t presume to speak for the majority of Canon’s customers. The fact that they have led the ILC market for two decades and that currently about half of all ILCs sold every year are made by Canon (more than their major competitors combined) strongly suggests they have accurate knowledge of how to innovate in the direction the majority of their customers want and need.

You need to breathe kid.

Referring to another poster in a derogatory term such as "kid", resulted in another poster referring to you as an "ass".

You might like to consider that demeaning other posters invariably backfires and causes unnecessary escalation.

 

[John Wilde]

Im normally a Canon fanboy but unless this camera can at least match the Sony FX 30 and come with a wide angle power zoom like Sony have anyone below 30 will opt for the Sony.

The R100 will obviously not match the ($2,200 with no lens) Sony FX 30, so put your money where your mouth is and buy the latter. There's no need to wait.

More junk. The M6 mk 2 is 32.5mp. Sony released junk masquerading as a Cine camera. This is merely an RF Rebel. To replace all of the other junk that isnt selling. While Sony and Canon invest some of their resources to support smartphones and a few super high end cameras they throw all the rest of their trash sensors into the other cameras. Not buying anymore junk cameras with non stacked sensors. Fujifilm set the bar with the X-H2s. Even the GX 7 m3 has a 20mp stacked sensor. Heck, that sensor is 3 years old already. You're being screwed royally purchasing a non stacked sensor. Old hardware technology.

 

[jam05]

Discontinued by Canon, of course, meaning they are not manufactured anymore. It doesn't mean that existing stock isn't being sold.C

 

[jam05]

You dont get it. "Canon Rumors" has been "Discontinuing" the M series camera for nearly a decade now. Check the arquives. They've consistantly got it wrong. For their personal reasons. Canon has publicly stated that they are not discontinuing their popular M series. If the M6 is discontinued in small tiny markets it will be replaced by the M6 mk 3 in major markets soon

 

[jam05]

My guess is that the 3 digit name will indicate a budget APS-C model aimed squarely at vloggers and selfie takers. It would be nice to be proven wrong, but I don't expect anything innovative or remotely exciting, just a half-hearted gap-filler in the RF range. It might have a top-hinged tilting screen, but I think a swing-out reversible flippy screen is more likely, and it sure as hell won't have an EVF or even an option to add a shoe-mounted accessory EVF. It's unlikely to have IBIS as it will be primarily a vlogger device. It's almost guaranteed to come with a retractable zoom with a built-in shutter-style lens cap. It will sell in droves to people impressed by styling and the Canon name.

There are better options for vloggers

 

[jam05]

Among other things, Canon have recently given us:

8K on R5
eye-controlled AF selection on R3
dual fish-eye lens
autofocusing tilt-shift lens
massively improved AF controller on 1dxiii
innovative combined thumbwheel and AF joystick on R7
class leading ergonomics
very fast roll out of RF lenses

They don't lead in every area (e.g. sensors or battery performance) but to say that they are "dragging their feet" or no longer being "true innovators" is

 

[jam05]

This seems to be the R version of an EOS M200, you might not even get 'M' in movie mode, only 'A'! So this is not targeted at the Sigma FP/Sony FX30 crowd, but at the dual-lens-EOS-M-kit buyers.

This is no more than a EOS Rebel replacement. Nothing to do with the M series at. Canon Rumors has been recycling the same M series BS for nearly a decade.

 

[jam05]

Canon EOS M6 Mk2
32.5 mp
14 fps
30fps raw burst mode with AF tracking
4k 30p 25p with no crop
rear viewfinder flip up
Anything less than these specs is clearly NOT a replacement

Inaction speaks louder than words. The M6 II was released in 2019, and I have seen no evidence that there will ever be a M6 III. The M-series is so unimportant to Canon that they don't even acknowledge its existence in their quarterly financial documents. CanonRumors was very premature in declaring M to be dead, but I believe that it has finally happened.

How can a 599$-699$ camera match a 1800$ one?

I mean the whole Canon can't compete it's fun but at least choose the right price bracket

Its because people that post here are SUPER unrealistic and out of touch. Many of them want something for nothing. Its not unusual for folks here to think a $600 will have $2k camera features live IBIS ect. Its was the same stuff before the R7 came out people saying things like "oh well i hope it has this that the R3 has, and this that the R3 has" ect even after finding out its a $1500 body.
