Specifications for Unnamed EOS R APS-C Camera Body

... Yes, the EOS R had the unique touchbar, but outside of that, it was pretty much an EOS R5 Mark IV, and there’s not wrong with that. ...
@Canon Rumors, you already know the specs of the EOS R5 Mark IV? Kudos! ;)

  • 24.1MP Stacked APS-C Sensor
    ...
  • A “New Body Design Philosophy” (Whatever that means?)
Those two specs make me listen...
Stacked sensor performance and (hopefully) a small body would make that one mine.

Reading this line I wish the EOS R had been more like an EOS 5d Mark IV in two ways.
1. Ditch the Touch Bar and give it a joystick
2. The EOS 5d mark IV had 7 FPS with full auto focus, the EOS R had a weaker FPS with full auto focus.

If the EOS R would have had these two tiny things, I´d still be shooting with it.

Sub-$1500?! Now you have my attention. I'm tinkering with the video capabilities of my R7 and R6-2. It's turning out to be more fun than I expected. FWIW, I got an email from Sigma USA saying a package is on the way and will be delivered tomorrow. My guess is that they are sending me a new 16 f/1.4 instead of mount-converting the lens I sent them, just like they did with my 30..

I\'d love to see a camera similar to the M100, where Canon somehow managed to create a model ideal for absolute beginners, yet fully suitable for professional use when paired with a 22mm or 32mm lens. A barebones APS-C camera without a viewfinder, featuring the best sensor and processor available at the time, and offered with one or two specialized lenses, would be it.

While I hope we’ll see RF variants of the 22 and 32, I fear we’ll have to do with the 16 and 28. Or use 3rd party glass.

It looks like an APS-C flagship built for speed. But R7MK1 already comes with a 32.5MP sensor, so I’m curious—has Canon ever released a next-generation product with a lower pixel count than its predecessor in the past? Or perhaps, this isn’t the R7MK2. The R7MK2 might use a sensor that's even more powerful, with faster speeds?

A 24mp stacked sensor without an EVF hump? Heck yeah. An M6 mk 2 RF mount? Hell yes. I couldn't wait for the M6mk 2 replacement, so I went ahead ans pulled the trigger on the S9. Still kept the M6mk2. But I would luv to replace it with an RF model. Even if slightly larger but with the EVF hump.

We have received specifications a couple of times for an unnamed APS-C camera that will reportedly be announced in the first half of 2025.

I really hope they revamp the body designs. I was never a fan of the relatively Goofy chunky crop bodies (not even considering something of the size of the r7 anymore that ship has sailed), and a recent trip to B&h confirmed it.

Now I travel with my M50 or my m62 and a small rig cage and form to function wise they are essentially as perfect as it gets for a crop camera. The c30 suffers from a big old chunky design and a wicked old sensor, the z50 Mark II is too big for a small compact, the S9 I'm a little fan of but it's design is just chunky nonsense.

With all of the recent resurgence of compacts, I'm simply amazed that none of the big three are showed to be interested in making compact m62 style bodies. The M50 was able to have a evf and not be a chunker into this day just handles so well.

The design direction for the r10 and r50 especially are just small rebels with a huge grip and it just doesn't really make much sense to me but I'm sure it makes sense to canon. The buttons especially on the r50 feel especially cheap with no grip. These two are absolute non-starters for me but for others that are not already invested in M mount hardware already, I really wonder if they wish they were there was something at least smaller and flatter in body sizes.

Lastly not bringing out the 22 f2 was an absolute crime. I feel like it's one of the best lenses Canon has ever made. And in my experience it has better bokeh than their new lobotomized trio of 1.4 lenses.

Sigh. Since my M gear is still incredibly usable then thankfully I'm not beholding to canon for these crop camera updates so I'm spared another year or two. Cool.

Has Canon ever brought a camera in a lineup where the new camera had a lower resolution than the predecessor? I can't remember one.
So the R7 II falls away for me, I guess it will be the RC. We allready have great full frame video bodies (R5 II, R5C, C80, C400) but actually no APS-C camera (except the C70) in the "cinema" lineup.

But I also hope for the R7 II to be brought out soon!
