Two new Canon ILC cameras have been come up for certification.
DS126834 and DS126949 are both ILC cameras, likely an EOS and/or EOS R camera, as EOS M cameras codenames begin with “PC”, as they’re generally part of the PowerShot group.
Nokishita thinks at least one of these cameras is a new entry-level Rebel camera.
I don't disagree with any of that. Rebels make money, and Canon hasn't updated the cheapest ILC lines in over 2 years. No question that the high resolution body coming shortly is highly unlikely. Though a man can wish, can't he?
Aren’t the new models the R5 and R6? I would think the R and RP are basically done, right?
Hardly. The RP fills a much-needed slot at the low end. The future of the R is a little less certain, although Canon may keep it in the lineup to meet the current price point or at some point they may introduce an RII to slot between the R6 and R5, where there is a huge price gap. Still, I doubt that either of these cameras are R series. More likely Rebels.
I doubt we'll see replacements all too soon. Canon seems to have pretty substantial production shortcomings currently, as not only those cameras are out of stock on some places.
I'm trying to think...has there normally been a slot between the 5 and 6 series? I can't recall one off the top of my head. Its been 5D down to 6D, or before that down to 7D, then the XXD series below that. At least I think.
