UPDATE: it turned out the images are faked.
Images of the upcoming Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III leaked over at Photo Rumors. As you can see on the screen in one of the photos, the Powershot G7 X Mark III does some sort of 4K video. First time on a PowerShot. Cool looking little camera. Unfortunately so far no hints about specifications.
We expect the PowerShot G7 X Mark III to be announced ahead of CP+.
Stay tuned.
Rumor has it Canon is sending out invites to select dealers and other people for a presentation regarding a new mirrorless camera.
As CR reports:
[…] Canon is sending out “very elaborate” invites to select dealers and VIPs for a mirrorless camera announcement next month.The invitation was described as being very high end, printed on heavy glossy paper and showing a silhouette of a camera shaped like the EOS M6 with a hole cut out where the sensor would be.
Apparently only CEOs and higher-ups are allowed to go to the presentation, no sales people are permitted.
We know Canon is going to announce a new MILC, it’s the EOS M50. What appears to be a bit weird is an invitation with such an aura of “high end”. However, don’t let your speculations go wild. Similar suggestions showed up frequently in the past and most time didn’t turn out for good. It’s also true that the EOS M50 is a bit of a mystery for the fact that it’s hard to guess where it is placed in Canon’s mirrorless lineup. Feature-wise we suppose it’s somewhere between the EOS M5 (
) and the EOS M100 ().
Canon is going to announce this new gear ahead of CP+.
Stay tuned.
Sigma will soon announce two new lenses for Canon EF and Nikon F mount. Both lenses are said to be on display at CP+ (which starts March 1, 2018). That’s what NikonEye is reporting. Well, they are reporting the F mount version but we have been told both lenses will come for the Canon EF mount too.
The two rumored lenses are a 70-200mm f/2.8 ART lens, and a 70-200mm f/4 CONTEMPORARY lens. No hints about the price for the time being.
We also expect Canon to announce a bunch of stuff ahed of CP+. Latest rumor has it there may be a prime lens for the EOS M system coming before CP+.
Stay tuned.
Rumor has it Canon will announce two lenses for the company’s EOS M mirrorless system.
The two EOS M lenses are said to be a prime and zoom lens. The prime lens is said to be announced for CP+ (March 2018). No hints are given for the focal length, or for other specifications.
New EF-M lenses are rumored since a while, and we got a few suggestions it could be 35mm prime lens. However we haven’t heard anything since a long time about an EF-M 35mm lens so we do not think this old rumor is still reliable. The last time we heard something in this direction was one year ago.
All truth to be told, back in November 2016 we got a rumor saying Canon would announce a prime and a zoom lens for the EOS M system in 2017. It didn’t happen and since then I lost a bit of confidence about Canon’s plan with the EOS M system. A system that’s recognised to be powerful but to dramatically lack native lenses. Since the EOS M5 () and EOS M6 () you can properly use almost all EF and EF-S lenses via adapter (). Never the less it’s not the same as having good native lenses (something you get if you buy into Fuji’s mirrorless system).
Back to the rumor. If Canon is set to announce a new EF-M lens to display at CP+, it almost for sure will happen along with the announcement of Canon’s next mirrorless camera, the EOS M50.
Stay tuned!

CES 2018 is over, and as expected there haven’t been any announcements by Canon. However, CP+ is coming in March, and we are pretty sure Canon will announce some new stuff.
So, what can we expect to be announced for CP+?
First of all, Canon will announce the EOS M50 (coverage) in the next weeks (towards end of February is most likely). The EOS M50 has already leaked through certification authorities, and we got a suggestion from a good source that it will be announced for CP+. We are pretty confident on this one, though we still have no idea where to place the EOS M50. We speculate it will be some sort of midrange MILC by Canon, i.e. positioned between the EOS M5 () and the EOS M100 ().
We expect two new Canon PowerShot cameras for CP+. The new PowerShots will replace the PowerShot G5 X () and PowerShot G3 X (). We consider these replacements to be most likely, but are not 100% sure on this. Given Canon’s effort to split the market in as much segments as possible, we wouldn’t be surprised to see entirely new PowerShot cameras. That’s to say we could see more than two new PowerShot cameras soon.
We also expect two or three new entry-level Canon Rebel DSLRs to be announced. From leaked certification data, we know they will be named EOS 3000D and EOS 4000D. There is also the replacement for the Canon Rebel T6 (EOS 1300D in EU, ) that will most likely be announced before CP+. The Rebel T7/EOS 2000D too has leaked through certification authorities.
Here is the stuff we are less confident about. Canon may announce at least one new lens for CP+. In the last months there have been many rumors suggesting various lenses. We prefer being cautious on this since in the past we saw rumors related to new Canon lenses spin around for months if not years, only to turn out to be fake. Our personal take is, let’s hope Canon delivers some serious lenses for their EOS M system.
Don’t expect a full frame mirrorless camera for CP+. The EOS 7D Mark III and EOS 90D will also not be announced any time soon.
That’s all for now. 2018 may be a very interesting year for Canon fans. Stay tuned!
Samyang will soon announce a 14mm f/2.8 lens with autofocus for Canon DSLRs. The first Samyang lens for EF mount with autofocus. It’s going to be interesting.
No hints about annoncement or price.
Stay tuned.
