Canon EOS M20 to be announced at the end of August, 24MP sensor? [CW3]

This is not a new rumor, it surfaced previously. We got a hint that Canon will announce the replacement for the Canon EOS M10 at the end of August 2017.

I can’t rate this more than CW3 for the time being, though the likelihood of an August announcement is high.

The EOS M10 is Canon’s entry-level MILC, it’s safe to assume the EOS M20 will follow in its footsteps. The moniker “EOS M20” was suggested to Canon Watch in June 2017. We also know that a Canon entry-level camera was registered at a certification authority back in May 2017. While there are still some doubts about the name, it’s sure that there will be an EOS M10 replacement.

So what about the specs? None leaked so far. The EOS M20 will not be a powerhouse, but you can assume that some of the features introduced with the EOS M5 and EOS M6 will find there way to Canon’s next entry-level MILC. The only thing I feel I can say is that it will have a 24MP sensor, like all recent Canon DSLRs and MILCs.

If an August announcement is to take seriously, then we will soon see some leaked specs and images.

Stay tuned…

Canon’s next mirrorless camera is the EOS M20, to be announced in August 2017

We knew Canon would release a new entry-level mirrorless camera since registration at a certification authority leaked over the web. And we anticipated it might be named EOS M20.

New rumor has it that Canon will announce the EOS M20 at the end of August 2017.

No specifications so far. Being the replacement for the EOS M10 and an entry-level MILC, it will not be a powerhouse, though some of the tech and features of the EOS M5 and EOS M6 might be on board.

Stay tuned.

Canon EOS 6D Mark II coming June 29, featuring 26MP sensor? [CW3]

 

canon rumorsEos 6d mark ii

The rumor mill is getting hot on the Canon EOS 6D Mark II. A new rumor suggests the EOS 6D Mark II may have a 26MP sensor, and that it may be announced on June 29.

Previously, we got rumor for an announcement on July 20/21. Then, some leaked information about the EOS 6D Mark II and other unregistered gear made me think Canon may announce it earlier. The latest announcement rumor suggests June 29 for the announcement. The 6D Mark II should then ship in August.

The other interesting bit concerns the image sensor. Until now the rumoured resolution was 28MP. The new rumor suggests it will be 26MP. It’s still suggested it will be a completely new sensor (which also the EOS 6D got when released).

We still have no reliable information about the feature set. For the time being, the following (suggested to us over the last 2 years) are likely to be EOS 6D Mark II features:

  • A newly developed sensor, 26MP is the latest rumoured resolution
  • Dual Pixel AF will be on board
  • Price around $2,000
  • Unlikely to have 4K video
  • Upgraded AF system
  • Touchscreen
  • Tiltable display
  • Digic 7
  • WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity
  • Larger viewfinder than EOS 6D
  • Slightly larger than EOS 6D
  • New battery grip BG-E21

The announcement of the EOS 6D Mark II will go along with the announcement for the Rebel SL2 and a new entry-level mirrorless camera.

All Canon EOS 6D Mark II rumors.

Stay tuned!

The Canon EOS 6D Mark II may be announced earlier than July 20/21, 2017

A few days ago we have been told that Canon will announce the EOS 6D Mark II, Rebel SL2, and a new entry-level MILC (suggested to be named EOS M20) on July 20 or 21, 2017.

The rumor came from a new source and was rated CW2. I have now reasons to believe that Canon may announce the highly-anticipated-still-covered-by-mystery EOS 6D Mark II and the other gear earlier in July 2017. Canon EOS 6D Mark II and Rebel SL2 kit descriptions have been leaked on always reputable Nokishita, a fact suggesting  the announcement may be closer than July 20/21.

The unusual thing here is that we still know nothing reliable about the EOS 6D Mark II. If the announcement is a month (more or less) away, I hope some information will leak soon.

The Canon EOS 6D Mark II may have these features:

  • A newly developed sensor, 28MP is the most likely resolution
  • Dual Pixel AF will be on board. Canon is featuring DPAF on entry-level DSLRs, we can expect it for sure on the EOS 6D Mark II
  • Price around $2,000
  • Unlikely to have 4K video
  • Upgraded AF system
  • Touchscreen
  • Tiltable display
  • Digic 7 (likely)
  • WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity
  • Larger viewfinder than EOS 6D
  • Slightly larger than EOS 6D

Stay tuned.

The next Canon Mirrorless camera is the EOS M20, to be announced July 20/21?

I have been told (thanks) that the replacement for the Canon EOS M10 will be the Canon EOS M20.

An upcoming, new Canon mirrorless camera has already to some degree leaked. We know about unreleased Canon gear that has been registered at certification authority. Among these is the Canon EOS 6D Mark II (so we think), the Rebel SL2, and a new, supposedly entry-level MILC that we think may be the replacement for the EOS M10. We were told it will the Canon EOS M20.

It’s rather plausible that Canon will go on with their entry-level mirrorless line-up (though someone may object that all Canon MILCs are entry-level). Beside the suggestion about the moniker, we can be sure that there will be a replacement for the EOS M10.

July 20 or 21 has been suggested to us as the day when Canon will announce the EOS 6D Mark II, the Rebel SL2, and the EOS M20.

However, take it with a grain of salt, especially the moniker M20. This rumor comes from a new source.

Stay tuned.
