Canon EOS C200 Mark II Set To Get Released In 2023 (with switchable EF/RF mount)?

Cinema EOS C200
View Post

Canon might release a replacement for the Canon EOS C200 soon, i.e. next year.

Latest murmurings have it that Canon might release the Canon EOS C200 Mark II in 2023. It seems the Canon EOS C200 Mark II will have “the ability to easily switch between EF and RF mounts. We’re told that the EF mount comes off to reveal the RF mount“. A first set of specifications also leaked:

  • Same image sensor as the Cinema EOS C300 Mark III
  • Same connection ports as the Cinema EOS C300 Mark III
  • Compatible with Cinema EOS C300 Mark III and Cinema EOS C500 Mark II accessories
  • Timecode
  • SDI Terminals
  • Easily interchangable EF and RF mount
  • Same frame rates and resolution as the Cinema EOS C300 Mark III

Unfortunately, this is a long running rumor so I’d take it with a grain of salt.

Stay tuned…

Is The Canon EOS R10a Canon’s Next Mirrorless For Astrophotography (2023?)

Canon Eos Ra Astrophotography
View Post

Is Canon set to release a Canon EOS R10a camera for astrophotography? That’s suggested in a rumor we got.

The no longer available Canon EOS 60Da was the last astrophotography-dedicated camera with an APS-C sensor Canon released (in 2012). Then we got the little talked about Canon EOS Ra (released at the end of 2019 and also no longer available). It’s a mistery to me why the EOS Ra was so neglected by reviewers and users.

Is the next Canon camera for astrophotography on its way? Maybe it is. The rumor we are reporting comes from a known source but there is no clear indication of a release date and some things might have got lost in translation. We consider the rumor to have some likelihood to be reliable yet recommend you apply an appropriate amount of salt. The fact that the EOS Ra has already reached end of life might be a sign that the rumor is not just a fantasy.

As for the announcement, from the message we got we understand that it will not happen in 2022. Some indications in the message point to an announcement in Q1/Q2 2023. Time will tell.

Specifications-wise you might expect the same as in the EOS R10 with the exception of the removal of low pass filters on the imaging sensor and the usual tricks to get the right wavelengths for astronomy photography.

Stay tuned.

Is A Canon EOS R7 C (Cinema) Camera Coming In 2023?

Another rumor from the series “it will happen sooner or later”.

Latest murmurings have it that Canon might release a Canon EOS R7 C mirrorless camera somewhere in 2023. That’s the Cinema edition of the just announced Canon EOS R7.

Says the source of the rumor:

The Canon EOS R7 C will record 7K60P in Cinema RAW Light and will reportedly have the same codec options as other Cinema EOS cameras, including the Canon EOS R5 C.

The source is quite confident about the rumor, despite the camera being scheduled to get announce in 2023 (according to the same source). That’s a bit of rather distant in the future to make any reliable claim, in our opinion.

That’s all, folks. Stay tuned.

Canon Might Release A Mirrorless Camera Like The Nikon Z 30 In 2022

Just two days after Nikon announced the Nikon Z 30, we already have a rumor suggesting Canon will release a similar camera. Isn’t that like magic?

Latest murmuring has it that Canon might release a mirrorless camera similar to the Nikon Z 30 and aimed at vloggers. This camera might be the R100 we reported time ago.

If the rumor is real, this camera m ight well be announced along with the upcoming Canon RF 24mm f/1.8 IS Macro and RF 15-30mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lenses.

Stay tuned.

It seems the rumors about the Canon EOS R1 got the usual shift in expectations. Now it is not earlier than the second half of 2023.

The Canon EOS R1, supposed to replace the EOS-1D X series, is now rumored to get announced not earlier than the second half of 2023. Says the source of the rumor:

With Canon and other manufacturers still suffering from inventory shortages, this shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. We also believe Canon wants to round out the lens lineup further before the EOS R1.

Announcement dates are mostly wild speculation until a few months before the announcement. That Canon will release an EOS R1 model is sure, for that matter, we just do not know Canon’s plans for the release of the EOS R1.

Stay tuned.
