Here is what Canon is announcing next, including the EOS R7, EOS R10 and RF-S lenses [CR3]

The wrong numbers are being added. There needs to be a 1.

I'm sure there will be. In the meantime, there's a 3.

Hard times for the "M is not dead" fraction!

Clearly the M series will be discontinued at some point between now and when the sun becomes a red giant. I think closer to the former than the latter is a safe bet.

Did everyone miss the huge announcement/rumour here, the replacement for EF-S lenses is here! It looks like RF-S lenses 'are/will be a thing'...

The Canon RF-S 18-45mm f/3.5-5.6 and RF-S 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 sound like typical kit lens zooms.

The questionable RF 16mm f/2.8 will make a decent 24mm f/4.5 equivalent on APSC, and the periphery won't matter because it will be all cropped away!

If the RF-S bodies can run EF-S lenses with an adapter, that provides even more options!

True excitement for those who have yet to join the forum.
I wonder how much true excitement there is for the release of an R10 and RF-S 18-45mm kit lens with the members here. How many forum members will pre-order because they just have to have it.

Super interesting about the R10. I'd love a compact RF mount camera for quick outings/snapshots/hiking that I can use with my RF Ls and STMs. Not sure if this will be that, but one can hope.

Fear cripples me and I am unable to put it in the cart, if I buy one the next day they will release a 1.
In reality I will be waiting another year or two.

I think the big question is will it be high MP and slower, or lower MP and faster? The R1 likely will be substantially more expensive. I have been quite happy with the R3, compared to my 1D X.

R10! Interesting..

I’m guessing then in the future we’ll have the R20, R30, R40.. As such with the 70D, 80D and 90D. The R7 is obviously the 7D line replacement we’ve all been waiting for!

Time to save££££££!

Could as easy go ) R11, 12, 13. If they plan to run with it long term. Then R100, R101, R102, R1000, R1001. R1002.

 

[scyrene]

I should be pleased, I guess. Been waiting to replacd my DSLRs for a few months, neither the R5 nor R6 was quite right - the former too expensive, the latter a touch too low res. Two or three years ago I seriously considered the 90D. But there's two things we don't know that are key for me - price, and availability.

An observation: if this comes to pass, Canon will have done a good job keeping information from leaking; if it's announced less than a month away. We had nothing concrete even a few weeks ago.

That would be a smart move. I mean, look at all the work Canon had to do—new mount, new bodies, new lenses—when they needed a successor to the 90D. ;-)

Could do! That’s like 2000 years of the RF system though! Haha

R10 is a nice surprise! If the price and size is right I could totally see myself picking up a small and "cheap" R10 for travel when I don't need the R5. The RF 16mm and 50mm would be perfect for a little camera. Maybe even pick up a 18-150 if the size is right.

I have an RP for this. It cost $400 net as a Canon refurb after selling the f4 L zoom in the refurb kit. It's my placeholder until the tiny finderless Sigma equivalent. Would like a 35-40mm f2 instead of the RF50f1.8, but that works fine for now for the kitchen counter family camera.

 

[Kharan]

Does this mean the 18-45mm will only cover the APS-C image circle? Oh man, I was so hyped for it, thinking it'd be for 35mm

 

[InchMetric]

I wouldn’t mind an R10 with a pancake 24mm as a walk around kit but most likely will end up with an RP II and a 35mm F/1.8.

The existing RF16mm would do just that, and I suspect they planned it that way.

 

[bergstrom]

still no RP2 news

 

[SHAMwow]

I'm curious if people will complain about how these are segmented when they release. Everyone says they're chomping at the bit on here, but if its not an R6 for $1200 I can already see the "cripple" complaints.

You'll know for sure if they also announce a RF to EF-M mounting adapter. But, I do agree with you.

 

[mdcmdcmdc]

You'll know for sure if they also announce a RF to EF-M mounting adapter. But, I do agree with you.

Such an adapter would be extremely difficult to build for physical/mechanical reasons alone. Also, consumers who buy M cameras don’t think in terms of upgrading and compatibility. That’s just for enthusiast geeks like us. Finally, EF-M lenses are very inexpensive, compared with the high end RF glass that many enthusiasts go for. All those factors considered, I highly doubt Canon will ever produce an EF-M to RF adapter.

Maybe third parties will look into it, although they would face the same physical constraints.

The R10 would have to be considerably smaller than the curent R series cameras in order replace the M6 or M50. With smaller EVF protrusion. As of this moment any close to an R5 size will not cut it.
