It seems Samyang (aka Rokinon, and others) will be the first non Canon manufacturer to build an autofocus lens for the Canon EOS R full frame mirrorless system.
The Samyang 14mm f/2.8 AF for EOS R is expected to get announced soon. It will include a lens station for firmware updates.
Not the first time that a Canon exec suggests there will be a high-end Canon EOS R model, but it’s nice to hear it again.
The Canon exec is David Parry, Canon UK’s product intelligence consultant, interviewed by the folks at Digital Camera World. And what you can read below about the high-end Canon EOS R is marketing department language at its finest:
There’s a high-end EOS R in consideration […] So we are considering bringing a high end EOS R to the market.
If we do, it will have dual card slots, it will be that sort of level, and under development is in-body image stabilization. So we are looking at this technology, it is in development with us.
I think in-body IS is really exciting for us, if we do bring it to market and it does come across, I think it could be really good and I think it says something about our [EOS] R series.
So, just to get it straight.
There is no reason to doubt that Canon is working on IBIS, given the remarkable collection of patent applications dealing with it and the fact that another Canon exec told the world about. It’s likely that the first Canon camera to feature it will be a mirrorless.
Stay tuned
The Canon EOS Ra already leaked some weeks ago.
The Canon EOS Ra most likely is the next Canon camera to get announced. We expect an announcement within the next weeks.
The leaked product leaflet states:
So far we only know that the Canon EOS Ra will have a full frame image sensor.
Announcement soon, stay tuned for more to come.

At the beginning of October some rumored specifications for the upcoming Canon EOS-1D X Mark III surfaced. Now there is a bit more that’s rumored.
Below you see the already rumored specifications and the new ones (in bold):
All plausible suggestions, in our opinion (with one exception). It’s also speculated that there could be a development announcement related to the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III (all rumors).
The only weird element in the list above is IBIS. Given the remarkable collection of patent applications dealing with IBIS., we think IBIS is coming to Canon cameras. But will the EOS-1D X Mark II replacement be the first Canon camera to feature it?
Stay tuned, more to come.

Stay tuned.
We got some new bits about the upcoming pro Canon EOS R model.
The pro EOS R might be on display at the Photography Show 2020 in UK and get released shortly after.
As previously rumored, the pro EOS R will be to the (also upcoming) Canon EOS 1D X Mark III what the EOS 5Ds was to the EOS 5D Mark III. Resolution is suggested to be 60MP. The pro EOS R will lack some features that Canon might reserve to the EOS 1D X Mark III, which will remain Canon’s top offering for sport photographers.
Please note that this rumor contradicts other rumors and hints suggesting Canon will release the pro EOS R in 2021. Rate the rumor accordingly.
The Canon EOS-1D X Mark III (all rumors) will be released after the pro EOS R but in time for the Summer Olympics 2020.
That’s all for now, stay tuned.
