And Nikon Z fc and Nikon Df. The retro, fashion camera has been a popular niche in Japan for over a decade now.

Canon: Possibility of a Retro Camera
- Thread starter Richard CN
- Start date
I think lenses have to be considered, I'm not sure how many "retro" styled lenses they'd want to release, or any at all. I guess they could take a few current lenses and put them in a new housing. That doesn't seem very Canon though.

I know it's a stretch but New F-1 style with interchangeable EVFs would be cool! Like a \"waist-level\" screen, and a traditional EVF would be so cool. It would be so good at street photography, especially when paired with the aperture-ringed VCM lens(es). If an even smaller set of primes (with aperture rings) would also be released like the Sigma I-series lenses, Sony G prime trio, or Fujichron lenses, then I feel like Canon can address a new set of customers.
Either way, I am excited for Canon to try this concept!

It makes a lot of sense to me. I want it. Thx. Looks and the ease of setting the shutter and exposure compensation without getting into menu has an appeal for me.

First of all, this is your opinion. Other opinions might differ from yours, mine, for instance does. And we are both right with our opinion!
Many vintage cameras had excellent ergonomics, some new ones not necessarily (think Sony, or those tiny camera bodies). You could often see from above, distance, ISO, aperture and shutter speed, without having to press buttons or looking through the EVF.
With a well done vintage design, there mustn't be a contradiction between classic and ergonomics. And, don't underestimate the importance of looks, or did you buy your car without paying attention to design?
A digital Canon looking like a Canon F1 or, why not, a Canonet? Anytime, please!

I set shutter and exposure compensation while looking through the viewfinder (evf) using the dials without going into menu. And you can see what the exposure compensation is doing while you are turning the dials.

Which current Canon camera requires you to go into a menu for shutter or EC?!??

I am getting older, so taking my entire camera bag with me on hikes is getting to be a challenge. I would like to see a smaller and lighter RF compatible body from Canon. Could be retro, could be fixed lens, but should be RF mount. If RF mount then let 3rd party manufacturers fill the space of 'small, retro looking lenses with aperture rings' product space over time. I have been considering adding a camera from a 3rd party manufacturer to fill this need (Sony a7CII or A7Cr) but really would prefer not to do that.
Hello Canon, PLEASE give us a smaller and lighter digital full frame option with excellent image quality like my R5!

Have you looked at the R8? It is a lot smaller than the R5, especially when used with the 28mm lens.
Personally, I’d still like an even smaller body, preferably without EVF. But until that gets announced, the R8 is my go-to compact body.

If there are any Canon people reading these posts I would love to see a retro camera with a built in flash! The Fuji X100x and the XTxx lines have built in flashes which make them even more versatile for street photography, but those aren't full frame, and Canon hasn't put a flash in a full frame camera since the film era! Please and thank you

Honestly, I'm super exited for it. We can read a lot between the lines here:
This could be a hint that they might work on a new Powershot with that design.
Which would make a lot of sense given the success of Fuji with their integrated lens cameras. And also given that Canon didn't release any meaningful Powershot since the G7X Mark III almost 5 years ago. A redesigned Powershot G1X IV, maybe with a faster glass, would be the wet dream of many retro-design fans.
This confirms that they are playing with the idea of a digital camera, not film.
In Japanese singular and plural is the same. So, could this mean separate from the EOS models?
