[email protected] said:When has it been that a Canon product rumored to be coming in a year's time actually came in a year's time? The best interpretation of this is that they'll make Christmas 2019. Another interpretation is that Canon recognized that it got skunked by Sony with this set of releases and needs to go back to the drawing board for the third time now to come up with something non-embarrassing; which would match up with rumors we heard of field testing being done by some selected pros in early spring.
Something's not quite right. Soon it'll be two years since Canon released the M5, and two years since we've been told Canon is taking full frame mirrorless "seriously." Who would think that upscaling the M5 to full frame will take 3 years? Something has to have been canned.
Exactly! My guess is Canon was either going to shock and awe all of us with yet another tepid parts bin half-a$$ed release that they charge a premium for but then the A7iii happened, or they've hit some major engineering hurdles. Or both. Seems like a market Canon wants to ignore while allowing Sony to make some serious money and some seriously good cameras\lenses and gaining converts/marketshare. Canon's non-participation is leaving money on the table so that alone would suggest problems in-house.
