A new report from our friend at Photo Rumors has Sony bringing a “pro” mirrorless body in the first quarter of 2021. This would be a huge deal for Canon shooters waiting for an EOS R1, a camera I do think HAS to come from Canon in 2021.

The ‘pro' designation on a camera body means it has an integrated grip to house a much bigger battery. It also gives more space inside the camera to add higher end cooling solutions and ergonomics.

Rumored Sony Pro Body Specifications:

  •  Bigger and truly pro body
  •  9.44M dots EVF
  •  Newly developed sensor
  •  8K video recording with no overheating
  •  Dual card slots
  •  New menu systems from A7S3
  • IBIS with Steady shot active mode
  • Everything about this camera is new
  • Price $5.999

It was also reported that there are some of these pro Sony bodies out in the wild. Sadly, I haven't heard anything specific about the Canon EOS R1.
