We already have two sensors just as you describe - An imagaing sensor and autofocus sensor, and a mirror to switch between them. The system of the future

Two Canon EOS R series bodies coming in 2019 [CR2]
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Back to the future
Anyone thinking Canon will be releasing a full frame mirror-less camera below the new R is delusional. Canon has spent a lot of money on R&D on their new lenses and they only work on a prosumer camera. These new lenses range from $1100.00 to $3K. No one is buying them to put on their Rebel. Canon will be releasing two hi-end FF mirror-less camera early 2019. There is a good chance those announcement will come out at WPPI in Las Vegas.

This was the last rumour about it:

Probably the 26MP lower end, since the 'Pro' one hasn't appeared yet in upcoming model names and it will probably use a different body, while the entry-level one will use the same body (but probably lower-res screen and EVF).

I think that there are plenty of people putting L glass on a 6D Mark II (which they can still do here, using EF adapters will be common in the first years), so the argument is not valid. The D600/6D class has been very important ever since it has been established, and it's coming a bit lower down still.

A common mantra in photography is to spend money on lenses, not bodies. Maybe the “tech” industry has shifted that a bit, but I don’t buy your notion that no one will put an expensive lens on an inexpensive body.
Also, what do you mean by “they only work on a prosumer camera”?

Don't forget the 28-70. But don't fret. Canon will have blown away the competitors in a few short years when it comes to the lens selection for FF mirrorless.

as rumoured, 2.8 zoom lenses will come in 2019. If they add some light 1.8 primes along the 35 as well we have a good start.
I've worked with the R for a full week of wildlife shooting and am convinced of the strength of the system, but also realised the weak points (mainly speed of readout/fps and some interface choices that need to be made). Would be very interested in a high end pro version.

That's pretty funny. they were there last year along with Nikon, Sony & Fuji. and this year booth 121, the exact same booth they were in last year, is marked as reserved. gee, I wonder who is going to exhibit in the largest 50x90 booth at the show. Canon shows up to all of these shows.

Yes, that is true, but the new lenses do not work on any of the older bodies. you can use your old lenses on the new R bodies via an adapter, but not the other way around. So yes, Canon is going to be pushing out some high end cameras and they will be out soon along with more R mount lenses

This is straight from the Imaging Resource interview with the head of products from Canon:
"On the other hand, we recognized that a lot of amateur customers are very interested in stepping up to full-frame through customer feedback. This was a pleasant surprise.
We are developing multiple EOS R cameras now but due to varying levels of preferred features we are likely to launch an amateur model next to let a large group of customers step up and enjoy full-frame image quality. Have no doubt that a professional model is coming, but perhaps it may not be the next model we introduce."

That sounds like they're working on a model below the R to me.

That isn't his point. His point is that Canon might well release an inexpensive R body one day and people will buy expensive RF or L glass for it. I bought L glass when I had a T5i and 70D. Glass is where the magic is. If somebody wants to scrimp anywhere, the body is where it should begin. BTW: There will never be RF to EF adapters.
