Rumors of Canon's new products became a hot topic on 5ch. The rumored new camera seems to be confirmed as "EOS R100". It's interesting to see what kind of camera is finished at a more affordable price than the R50.

His digital camera board on 5ch

Confirm the model name of the mirrorless camera with EOS R100

RF 28mm F2.8 STM: $299
Lens hood EW-55: $45

EOS R100 Body: $479
EOS R100 RF-S 18-45 IS STM Lens Kit: $599
EOS R100 Double Zoom Kit (18-45mm & 55-210mm): $829

Off-Camera Shoe Cord OC-E4A: $180

That's what I'm talking about.
The mysterious mirrorless is confirmed with EOS R100. As an entry model like the R50, I am wondering if it is equipped with a different dimension AF system (especially subject detection). If the AF performance is the same as the R10 and R50, it will likely have an outstanding presence as an APS-C entry model.

The lens kit comes with 18-45mm like R10 and R50, and it seems that there is also a double zoom kit. Personally, it would have been nice to have a single focus lens kit, but unfortunately it is only a zoom lens kit at the moment.

I’m very curious about the formfactor, an EVF-less body is what I’ve been asking for a long time.
But I thought it would never happen and bought an R8 as travel cam…
As did I, although I won’t even consider as APS-C R body until there’s an RF-S UWA zoom to go with it.

The pictured camera is the M200. But I suspect this will lack an EVF based on the mention of an ‘OC-E4A off camera shoe cord’, which clearly isn’t that at all and at $180 is likely an external EVF.

I hope that RF28mm is the same size, or smaller as the RF16/RF50, it would make a nice companion for the R8.
My hope is that it’s smaller, a legit pancake lens like the EF 40/2.8. If so, I’ll certainly buy one. If it’s the size of the 16 and 50/1.8 primes, I’ll pass.

So it seems like Canon is indeed bringing off shoe cord for new hotshoe. Also that price for 28mm is quite a lot lower than expected.

Old Off shoe cable had model OC-E3 so OC-E4A is in line with that naming scheme. Also didnt lower end M series bodies with this form factor lack hotshoe needed for EVF.

For $180? Seems exorbitant even for Canon. Plus there is not even an available flash for the new multifunction shoe, so an off-camera cord is premature. What there is already is the ST-E10, which renders an off-camera cord useless.

The price doesn’t fit with an off-camera cord. It does fit with an EVF. So either the price is wrong or the model ID is wrong. Users of an R100 would be very unlikely candidates for an external flash at all, much less a cord to get a flash they won’t buy (and can’t buy yet anyway) further off-camera seems. OTOH, launching an external EVF with a new consumer camera that lacks one is very likely, and consistent with the $180 price.
Also didnt lower end M series bodies with this form factor lack hotshoe needed for EVF.
The M1 and M2 have an hotshoe but aren’t compatible with a hotshoe EVF. The M3 uses the EVF DC-1 and M6/M6II use the EVF DC-2. I suspect the correct model ID for the $180 accessory launching with the R100 is OVF DC-3, not OC-E4A.

I am hoping the screen flips to the side like every other RF mount camera and not up like the M200.
I know that vloggers prefer the flip up screen so it would depend whether or not this is a vlogging camera like the PowerShot V10.

Stuff announced in late May doesn't mean it will ship in late May. By the time the new cord will likely actually be available the new flash, announced a while back, is also supposed to be shipping.

Was the OC-E4A actually announced? It has appeared for preorder, but I didn’t notice Canon saying anything about it.
