There have been countless rumors and opinions of whether or not Canon will be bringing an APS-C camera with an RF mount to market to take the place of the Canon EOS 7D series of DSLRs. Most of the information has been quite vague through the years.

I have been told that Canon has actively been doing market research with select pros and others to see if there is a real demand for such a camera.  The EOS M line of Canon cameras is in a state of unknown, though I have reported a few times that the EOS M lineup will ride off into the sunset in its current form in favor of the RF mount.

There are zero plans for Canon to make RF-S lenses, and I think this makes a ton of sense.

I still think we're going to see one someday, but I don't know what sort of timeline we're looking at. Canon still needs to work on the full-frame lineup, especially when it comes to new and “affordable” camera bodies to replace the EOS R and EOS RP.

I have more information on this topic that I'm going to keep internal for the moment while I try to pry more information from various sources.

More to come…
