There is another RF mount camera coming in 2020 [CR2]

padam · Jul 21, 2020

I think it is a new product, the 12-pin communication interface is different compared to the EF-mount.
Maybe the XC-series camera that was a rumoured a few times...?

With a crop sensor, it would be able to take Metabones Speed Booster or the V-ND adapter as well.

Half of this forum, just as they read the post title...

...and then immediately after seeing this is not about a next-gen 7D RF mount crop body:

- A

Fingers crossed for:
- XC-10/15 style body
- R5 internals
- RF mount instead of an attached lens

~$4500 and then YouTube can. shut. up. about. video.

R5C - R5 with a fan like that one cinema focused 1DX.

YES. Exactly. XC-15 with R5 internals (or R6 with All-I, only 4K needed), XLR adapter, Internal ND, TIMECODE, Super35 sensor (can’t imagine it would be full frame and crush C300/C500), IBIS.

a small C100 RF cinema camera. Done.

I would imagine that both the updated sensor with a faster readout would go with a new C-series body. This won't just be a mount change, as it would not make sense to utilize this new technology.

The all new R5ii with the fan the R5 never had.

aanogueira · Jul 21, 2020

Or would it be the flagship crop camera to be announced?

herein2020 · Jul 21, 2020

R6C with a fan, magnesium body, 4K120FPS, no recording limit, CLOG3, backup video recording, waveforms, full size HDMI port, power over USB-C, Video recording over USB-C, no video recording limits, video/photo toggle switch, 1/400s flash sync speed, built in remote flash radio trigger, MSRP $2999.00. Ok, I'm done dreaming now.

I would buy the above list. This would be a damn near perfect camera

R5S with 82MPix Sensor? Just to top Sony also on this front

Would actually love for it to not be a crop. If a "consumer" 45mp sensor can outperform a C500FF then somebody is gonna do it; might as well disrupt yourself before somebody else does. I'm under the impression that the C3/500 have a huge set of features that simply require those sorts of large bodies and astronomical prices. I don't think that anyone short of ARRI is going to be able to command these $25-50K prices for much longer.

If anything I think you're more likely to see some wild sensor formats, but without things like ND, timecode and SDI—specifically to differentiate the true cinema line. But I mean a little baby C200 with a 4K S35 sensor would be nice for sure.

MaximPhotoStudio · Jul 21, 2020

Please let it be a 135 f/1.2; 1.4; 1.8; 2.0. or 70-150 f/2.0

Dantana · Jul 21, 2020

EOS RC200 with existing specs and access to more adaptable lenses.

Mark3794 · Jul 21, 2020

Please be the C100 mark III we never had

Floydian · Jul 21, 2020

R3 with 90 mpx and no video...please?

Could it be an RF mount Cine camera? Hmmm, Canon has a line of EF-mount Cine lenses to go with their EF-mount Cine cameras. making an RF-mount Cine camera before they have RF Cine lenses seems weird, unless they expect users to adapt EF glass.

I think it’s safe to expect an 8K Cine camera soon. When Apple showcased the Mac Pro, they used an 8K footage from an unreleased Canon Cine camera.

There is no difference at all in performance with or without an adapter for autofocus canon lenses (in some cases with an adapter on RF is actually faster than native EF) - so there definitely wont be a difference with manual focus cine lenses. I see no reason why adapting would be a problem for anyone and I am sure Canon will one day implement native RF lenses. So, I see no reason why this cant happen today.
