More Than One Active Full Frame Mirrorless Project at Canon? [CR1]

We received some interesting information about Canon's full frame mirrorless project, or should we say projects?

We're told that there are three active full frame mirrorless cameras currently in different stages of development and that we should be seeing at least one come to fruition before the end of 2018. Photokina in September of 2018 would make the most sense for at least one of the following cameras.

The first project is a full frame mirrorless camera with a native EF mount. This is something we have said has to happen for Canon to enter the world of full frame mirrorless cameras. They cannot abandon the hundred million+ EF lenses out there.

The second project, and this is the first we've heard of it, is a smaller full frame mirrorless camera with a new mount. We weren't told if it's a modified EF-M mount or something else. I don't think this is too far fetched, as Canon hasn't seemed all that interested in developing a wide range of EF-M lenses for APS-C mirrorless cameras.

The third project is a fixed lens full frame camera that is in very early stages of development and won't be coming in 2018, if at all.

All of this is believable and that's why we're posting it. For the moment, please remember this is a [CR1] post and to treat it accordingly.

More to come…
