A few pictures of the upcoming Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L leaked over the web, curtesy of Nokishita.
We expect the announcement of the Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L on May 9th, 2019. Shipping will start in June.
Three more lenses for the Canon EOS R system are expected to be announced before July 2019.
While we are now rather confident that Canon will announce the RF 85mm f/1.2L lens on May 9, 2019, there is a new rumor about more lenses for the EOS R system.
Canon might release what is commonly called the “Holy Trinity” of lenses (because of the focal lengths and f/2.8, which are more or less standard on a full frame system), i.e. the RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS, RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS and RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS, before the end of July 2019.
Canon already announced the development of these and other lenses.
Stay tuned.

We were told Canon would make a camera related announcement at the end of April. It seems our source got the date wrong. And while being “camera related” it is not about a new camera.
The Canon announcement we were reporting doesn’t concerns a new Powershot or new EOS M camera. It is for the Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L USM lens for the EOS R system. At the time of writing we do not know if the version with “Defocus Smoothing” will be announced or the versions without it.
We expect Canon to announce the RF 85mm f/1.2L lens around May 9.
One of the upcoming new lenses for the Canon EOS R system might get announced in May, according to Nokishita.
We expect another announcement soon, it might be for the Powershot G7 X Mark III or for a new EOS M camera.
Canon will soon announce a new Camera soon, likely next week.
For the time being we do not know if Canon is going to announce a new PowerShot camera (the PowerShot G7 X Mark III would be a candidate) or a replacement for the EOS M5 or EOS M50. Replacement for the EOS 80D or EOS 7D Mark II are less likely. Don’t expect Canon’s upcoming high resolution EOS R camera until Fall 2019.
More to come soon, stay tuned.
An apparently legit Canon document describing a full frame image sensor with a resolution of 63MP leaked over the web.
The 35MM63MXSCD named CMOS sensor has Dual Pixel AF, shoots around 5fps, and is made with a 300nm manufacturing process.
We expect Canon to announce a high resolution EOS R camera in Q4 2019. Could this be the sensor Canon will feature in their upcoming high resolution EOS R camera? Hard to say. It might be but it might also well be one of Canon’s super-specialised image sensors, maybe even a prototype that never went into production.
The sensor in the leaked document seems at first glance to be the sensor rumored for the high res EOS R model, although the latest rumor we got was talking about a 75MP sensor. We tend to believe this sensor has nothing to do with the upcoming high resolution EOS R camera.
More about Canon’s special purpose sensors can be learned here.
