  1. Interesting implications from that list.

    The lack of an EF mount adapter strongly suggests the new camera will be able to natively mount EF lenses.

    The lack of an IS designation on standard lenses suggests IBIS.

    L USM lenses are consistent with a serious, high end offering.

    No CR3 tag, so presumably this remains a rumor. If this rumor turns out to be true, there will be plenty of crow to be served on these forms.
  2. It seems very clear that it will have IS in the body, that's good news. I don't expect anything earth-shattering in the very first model, but as a system it looks strong.
  3. ND and PL point towards built-in neutral density filter and PL lens mount. Looks like this is video stuff.
    Can you explain a bit more? I would love a XC15/20 interchangeable upgrade!
  4. Wow, this took me by surprise. If this holds true Canon goes into the mirrorless market heavy handed.

    This camera must be really amazing if they think people will pay >1k $ for lenses for it. 28-70 F2 and 50 F1.2 are definitely not going to be typical prosumer lenses when it comes to price range.

    Yes, these seem to be adapters to mount R lenses on other mounts. Everything points to EF lenses mounting directly on the new camera.

    35 M IS is interesting. Is this a macro with additional lens IS to complement IBIS?
  7. RF 50mm f/1.2L USM

    Blimy that's put the cat among the pigeons!! and explains why no new 50 for too long

    Please let this camera have rear controls like the 7/5 series!
  8. I can not believe Canon managed to keep ALL of that such a secret until now. EOS R plus FIVE pieces of glass???? Holy crap sandwich! I hope the dual mount system is true!!!

    Canon has generated more excitement by keeping silent than Nikon did with their cheesy zzzzz teasers.
  9. As with any FF offering, Canon is targeting the upper end user, whether hobbiest or pro. And perhaos given the design variances we may see them come in less expensive than we imagine. Canon was not just going to make a FF M5. This had to be a whole other level of MILC for them.

    Or it will come later so the price of early adoption will have to include at least one lens?

    RF 35mm f/1.8 M IS

    What's this a macro lens? why the only RF lens with IS ?

    The EF Macro lenses (100L and 24-70L and maybe others) have hybrid IS (at least I think that's what the called it), where it compensates for side-to-side movements as well as angular movements. I think the point being that a tiny side-to-side movement makes a big difference when you're viewing a tiny object at a huge scale, but only makes a tiny difference when viewing a normal object at a normal scale.

    I guess perhaps it has angular in-body stabilisation, and the macro lenses add the side-to-side?

    Total guess though!
