This Is The Canon EOS R3 – Development Announcement Coming Soon

Update: in the meantime we got a set of Canon EOS R3 specifications.

Here is the Canon mirrorless camera no one saw coming (shame on the rumor mills!): the Canon EOS R3.

Is this the flagship EOS R model? For sure it is an EOS R aimed at professionals. The EOS R3 is the direct competitor to the Nikon Z 9. We expect Canon to announce the development of the Canon EOS R3 very soon, most likely within April 2021.

We think the Canon EOS R3 might be one of the professional EOS R cameras on EOS-1D X level we were expecting. So, no EOS R1? Or will the Canon EOS R1 be even more pro-oriented? The EOS R3 has the ergonomics and the vertical grip of the EOS 1D lineup, and shows all external signs of a professional camera. The EOS R3 might be a professional sports camera, and so let some room for the EOS R1. A professional sport camera would perfectly fit with the Olympics this year. The right lenses are also on their way. We do not think the EOS R3 is the anticipated high resolution EOS R camera. Let me know what you think.

Stay tuned, there is more to come soon.

Another Canon Camera Shows Up For Certification, And It Might Be An EOS R

View Post

More Canon gear appears at a certification agency. Based on the internal code-name we assume it’s an EOS R model.

The new camera has the moniker DS12856. Now, we know that Canon gear having internal codes starting with “DS” refer to an interchangable-lens camera. Since we do not expect any new EOS xxxD/Rebel, we might assume it refers to an upcoming EOS R model. Which one is the guess. The most likely candidate so fare seems to be the highly anticipated high resolution EOS R. It might also be the flagship EOS R model, but we are less confident on this one.

Stay tuned.

More Unreleased Canon Gear Appears At Certification Authority (Speedlite EL-10?)

More unreleased Canon gear appears at a Russian certification authority. Yesterday it was about three lenses, today it is about a new Canon Speedlite.

The new Canon Speedlite has the internal code DS401243. We think it might be the already rumored Speedlite EL-10. This new Speedlite flash would sit between the EL-1 ($1,099 )and EL-100 (currently discounted to $129), would make a lot of sense.

Stay tuned, stay safe.

Here are the some new Canon rumors for the video and Cinema side of things.

The Canon rumors suggest Canon will announce some new video gear for NAB 2021. Among this gear is the Canon XF505, a run-and-gun camcorder likely similar to yet more feature packed than the Canon XF405. A few rumored specifications made it to the world:

Canon XF505 Specifications:

  • Same 1″ sensor as the XF705
  • 12G-SDI output and SD cards
  • An integrated zoom lens with 15x zoom
  • BP-A batteries

Next, Canon is likely to release also a bunch of new Cinema lenses, and among them the first for the RF mount. The rumor suggests Canon is set to replace the current Compact CINE-ZOOMs with new models that cover the Super35 and the full-frame imaging sensors. This is achieved by changing the rear group of optical elements. PL and EF mount will be available as usual. The first Cinema lens for the RF mount might be a prime lens. No more to get here for the time being.

All Canon rumors are listed here.

Stay safe, stay tuned.

Canon’s High Resolution EOS R Camera Might Have More Than 100MP

A new rumor surfaced, suggesting the upcoming high resolution EOS R camera might have an image sensor with more than 100MP.

So far a sensor resolution between 80MP and 90 MP has been the trend among the rumor mills (ours included). The source of the rumor is confident that Canon will curb the sensor resolution well beyond 100MP. The reason is to “provide even more separation between the EOS R5’s 45mp and the new high-megapixel sensor“. According to the rumor, this upcoming high resolution EOS R camera will be oriented to towards landscape and studio photographers and have a different form factor than the EOS R5. The camera will replace the EOS 5Ds and EOS 5Ds R.

Stay tuned, stay safe.

Latest Canon Rumors: EOS R5c Cinema Coming 2021, New Features Via Firmware For R5, R6, 1DXIII

View Post

Here are the latest Canon rumors. It’s suggested a Cinema version of the EOS R5 might be released, and some new features will come via firmware update to the EOS R5, EOS R6, and EOS-1D X Mark III.

The source, Canon Rumors, seems to be pretty confident on both rumors, giving their highest rating.

The Canon EOS R5c, a Cinema version of the EOS R5

First, “R5c” is a name invented by the community, not an official Canon moniker. The new rumor suggests the EOS R5c will feature the same imaging sensor of the EOS R5 and also sport the same recording modes and options. There is, however, a noteworthy detail coming with the rumor: the EOS R5c will have a bigger body and active cooling (remember the overheating hysteria?). Despite it’s Cine destination, the EOS R5c will also be a hybrid camera still perfectly usable for stills photography. And it might have C-Log 2.

In the past we got some suggestions for this camera, the R5c. Some of what came with the latest rumor was already anticipated then:

  • same sensor technology as the EOS R5 but with half resolution
  • records 4K/120P with no crop
  • 2.8K supersampling in super35 mode
  • newly developed heat sink
  • Dual Pixel AF performance in low light better than EOS R5 and EOS R6.

Firmware updates for the EOS R5, EOS R6, EOS-1D X Mark III

Firmware updates for the Canon EOS R5, EOS R6 and EOS-1D X Mark III are now ready to get released in the next weeks.

All three cameras will get C-Log 3 and new compression modes for 4K recording. For the Canon EOS R5 and EOS-1D X Mark III also expect a Cinema RAW Light feature. The EOS R5 will likely also get 1080p @120fps video recording. Most likely the new firmware version are already actively tested by selected photographers.

Firmware updates for Canon cameras and lenses are listed here.

Stay tuned, stay safe.
