There are currently 3 EOS R system cameras coming in the second half of 2022 [CR2]
- Thread starter Canon Rumors Guy
- Start date
If they released a 7D2 'mini 1DX' again Id be interested. If it was an M5 update I would be, even though I cant use EF_M with it. As said above, it probably will be neither, so be interesting to see what Canon's take is, Im guessing 90Dish? Ie a good camera at a useful pricepoint but probably not what people in this forum would be wishing for.

Canon APSC lens offer was not that great. I don't know why would someone invest on Canon EFS lens? At least the 3rd party ones were better.
Majority bought EF L lens and used it on APSC body. the only advantage was crop for more reach.
So Canon will do the same, come up with some cheap RF-S lens, bundle it and try to sell tons of it. Later get people buying RF lens.
in EF-FF, you couldn't use EF-S lens to crop but You can use crop mode in R5 to achieve the same. So, there isn't much value unless you're concern about resolution.

The rumoured new R FF cameras seem to be replacements for RP & R. By putting the 1DXIII sensor in the entry-level camera, it would be psychologically challenging to buy an R6 even if the latter have much better features and control. It could well put downward price pressure on the R6 which is good news for me 
. The R replacement, assuming it has a 30ish mpx would be most interesting for someone who don't really need 45mpx, and feels 20mpx limiting if heavy cropping is needed.

Were you ever part of that target audience? If you are over 30, I doubt it. Don't fall into the trap of "I won't buy it, so they shouldn't make it." There are millions of people who have never used a viewfinder and wouldn't hesitate to buy a camera without one. I'm always surprised when I see someone shooting a Rebel using the rear screen, but that's just the way many people have always shot photos, even if I would never do it that way.

The APS-C body is a head scratcher when taken literally: what's the point of mixing the high-speed action specialist 7D with the soccer mom generalist M50?
I wonder if the actual message is that they'll use the same sensor to make both a 7D successor on RF, and an M50 successor on EF-M (or maybe even RF). That would make a lot more sense--this would be a good time to prop up EF-M if Canon is planning to stick with it for another few years.
I also wonder if the reference to "true hybrid" means that they'll release a 45MP APS-C sensor that can shoot 8K. That would be very convenient for the video crowd, and the rumored RF cinema lenses would provide a good excuse to release this on RF rather than EF-M, especially if they're super-35 rather than full frame.

No evf, fine as long as the camera would be compatible with the existing evf-dc2. Depending on specs, it would either be the entry level model or the one above it for me. The lenses I need exist already. Just need the cash flow.

I think it would be a winner for consumers who want that body style but not a full frame sensor.
I don’t purport to know what it would cost for Canon to make this camera, but it is my understanding that the most expensive part of the camera is the sensor. If the development in the body is already there (meaning they don’t have to build from the ground up and just adjust cooling/firmware/etc. for the smaller sensor) and they swap the expensive full frame sensor for a cheaper APS-C, it may actually be within reason to sell something like this in the high $1,000’s. I bought my 7D Mark ii new for $1,500 when the 5D Mark iii was over $3,000. If an R6 is selling for $2,500, maybe it’s feasible.
I’m not an engineer or a salesperson though, so I’m just throwing ideas out there for the sake of conversation.

Great marketing and great sales doesn't always mean a great product.

I think customers would like to know whether they'll get the sensor's full resolution, or the camera will auto crop the image for them.

The rear glass, rear screen, monitor, etc. was used long before digital cameras came on the scene. If you really want to get original about it. So don't act as if composition on the rear larger display is NEW. Exactly what are digital backs?
