What I would like to see in 2024
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date

It could be smaller, but personally, I'd rather use the RF16mm on FF than the RF10-18 on APS-C. Price-wise I would, like you, prefer an APS-C sensor. But if Canon releases a proper (the lack of EVF bump makes it a proper body) EOS-M inspired body with a FF sensor, I will very likely buy that and sell my R8.
If Sigma ever decides to produce RF-S lenses, that all changes

For me I’d like to see a retro body with the guts of the R6 II For under $2000. As for lenses the only that would excite me would be the previously rumored RF 70-135mm F/2L.

And Raw Burst works extremely well in the R7. I can semi-consistently get ball-on-bat shots using it with the electronic shutter. The only problem is that the bat is slightly curved. I haven't tried it with the R6-2 but it should work even better.

@Richard CR would you please explain how the R7 has an upscaled equivalent of 83mp? I've seen this mentioned numerous times, but still can't wrap my head around this concept.

32MP * (1.6*1.6) is 83MP, or said differently: if you take the wafer that has the R7 sensors and cut that into FF sized pieces instead of APS-C sized pieces, you'd end up with 83MP FF sensors.
Also, that 120MP APS-H sensor wasn't dual pixel, so it would only be a 60-ish MP APS-H sensor if the pixels stay the same size.

Grab your camera, go out and shoot!
Get well soon, Richard, and thank you for praising a Canonet in your article. I am happy if find something of the film era on digital photo sites. I have and still use two Canon 7's from early 60s, since I prefer interchangeable lenses - my set includes a rare Canon 85mm f/1.8 LTM, a gorgeous lens.I'm a little high on meds this week as I hurt my back pretty bad. I'll apologize in advance if something in this article doesn't make senseBut I wanted to get it out sooner than later.
I had something else in this article but I thought it may be a little more controversial so decided to wait on that. I'll write THAT up in a longer article near the end of the month.

I said the same in another thread, where I also explained some of the shortcomings of high MP sensors because of the nature of wave optics due to diffraction limitation. Personally, I therefore would never buy a 120 MP FF camera as long as Canon offers lower MP cameras such as the R6. It wouldn't make much sense for most applications and just pump up the data storage volume for no gain. When I want high pixel density for birding with superteles or for macro, my R7 delivers the image I'd crop anyway if I would use a high MP FF camera.
My wish for the next years would be an R7 II with much faster data read-out, which would expand the use of its full electronic shutter. And my wish for 2024 is that I do not have to wait until April - as announced on Canon's Europe site - to get my RF 200-800 that I pre-ordered.

Yepp, the wish for a new fast 180 or 200mm full macro lens is the "Groundhog day" of Canon users.

On the retro thing… no to an ae-1, as a range none of the A-series would make it into my house of I didn’t have a 30+ year history with FD lenses and the T90.
What would be cool IMHO would be an RF-1 with a couple of finder options (‘prism’ ‘waist level’ and an EVF-DC1 style Speed Finder. Optional interchangeable backs (e.g. a no screen option…) and a Winder/Motor drive. Each could enable/disable features too, e.g no video modes without a particular screen or faster frame rates, more tracking options with a ‘winder’ and so on.

High-resolution EOS R Camera, Where are you?
it is only USD300 difference between new 5Div vs R5 at the moment. World's apart in performance (except for battery life). When Canon finally announce they are discontinuing the 5Div I expect the price to drop to about £1400.

It's not that they can't see red, it's that a red grid doesn't help them focus. The EL-5 has been out for a while, and on newer cameras it uses the LED modeling lamp for AF assist (and on the newest cameras, it varies the intensity of the AF assist modeling lamp based on ambient light). Of course, it's not sub-$200, that part is certainly a dream.

Some RF 1.4 Prime lenses would be good before we all end up with an (ultra) expensive lineup of 1.2s

And given how the Nikon ZF (
) was received, I'd be amazed if Canon is not looking at the Math to see if it's possible to release a retro body (though the majority of the lenses are way too large!).
