some time in the first half of 2020.
Sounds better than sometime in 2021!

A trackball would be awesome, except for that pesky getting dirt in a trackball thing.Yes, it definitely occurred to me as I was typing that it might not even be a half-bad idea. On the smaller bodies, changing the AF point using the main touchscreen apparently works very well, but on a larger camera the main screen is a bit too far away. Additionally, a digital joystick isn't really the right control anymore when you have thousands of AF point positions to select from. An analog stick or a touchpad should work much better—now that I think about it, I wouldn't even be surprised if the "new type" ends up being either of those. Or, hell, why not a trackball (one with enough friction to prevent unintended movements)?
I agree. The anticipation of a pro mirrorless body has overshadowed all the impressive progress Canon is actually making. They're setting themselves up for long-term success in my opinion...even though they're currently behind on the mirrorless game.I think in the 11 months since the R release, Canon has introduced a nice amount of glass plus a 2nd body. However, reading here, you would think it's been around 5 years and Canon is lagging. Some of you people are unrealistic and downright impatient. It will happen, it just isn't magic or knee jerk reaction R&D. Do yourself a favor and study up on product cycles in the imaging industry.

I believe the "new type of joystick" is going to be an eight-directional touchpad controller building on the tremendous success of the touch bar on the R. Remember, you heard it from me first!
Canon Rumors, your push notifications pop up banner is incredibly intrusive and annoying. I always click on "Don't Allow", but every next time I visit here, this pop up appears again.
Why do you keep torturing your readers like that?
Eye/face recognition would be very welcome as well.Joystick is very welcome addition.
Would be nice to have user selectable high speed (higher frame rate) crop mode.
Also one point AF area the smaller, the better.
Do you have cookies turned off? It doesn't "torture" users.... There are more than 30,000 people subscribed to those notifications. It's something on your end that keeps them coming up for you.
I heard it’s a retro Atari joystick that plugs into the USB port. Guaranteed to make you feel like a kid again. You can play asteroids on the back screen too when you are done shooting.
I’d have to imagine the video specs will be mundane considering the resolution as clearly this isnt built for video. That said I’d also imagine this is where we see the new IBIS system being rumored to work in tandem with lens IS for some crazy good combo IS with even more than 5 stops of performance. My only real complaint with my 5DSR is that it’s (understandably) nearly impossible to hand hold shoot and get maximum effectiveness of the high-res without some really high shutter speeds which arent always possible even at times with an IS lens. An 83MP sensor would even further exaggerate this issue without some amazing IBIS (short of having to tripod shoot all the time). Cant wait to see what they come up with!
They do think about that. Personally, I wouldn't mind them being bigger. That the camera is mirrorless has nothing to do with it, rather, what Canon senses their market wants. The wildlife and sports people with big lenses, I assume, will want a larger frame without having to add a grip.Hope is my isn’t larger than the EOSR. I think the R’s size should be the limit for mirrorless cameras. I think camera manufacturers need to think about that.
I blame microwave ovens and TV dinners for the lack of patience. People have got used to getting things right now.I think in the 11 months since the R release, Canon has introduced a nice amount of glass plus a 2nd body.

I don't think I need to educate you. You seem smart enough, and I am not.I did a double take because I misread that as "get a grip." Which some people do need to do, but not necessary "wildlife and sport people" so I had to reread it.
The one thing mirrorless buys you is less depth, dimensionally (back to front of camera); I don't see why the camera would necessarily shrink in the other dimensions. (If I am just ignorant, please educate me.)
Hope is my isn’t larger than the EOSR. I think the R’s size should be the limit for mirrorless cameras. I think camera manufacturers need to think about that.
An LCD that can be tilted up into waist level viewfinder position sounds natural to me, but why would an EVF be tiltable?
Exactly who I think about when they scream, "I want it now! I can't wait another 9 months or my world will come crashing in!"
