Canon Mirrorless Related Announcement on September 4/5, 2018?

Canon Rumors Canon Full Frame Mirrorless
View Post

We have been told (thanks) that Canon may stage a mirrorless-related announcement on September 4 or 5, 2018. This is partially in contrast with a previous rumor which stated that a major Canon announcement would happen in the second week of September 2018. Partially, because there might be different interpretations on what “second week” means, and some hints unfortunately get lost in translation.

At the time being we do not know if the announcement is about the replacement for the Canon EOS M5 (rumored to be the EOS M5 Mark II), or if it is about the so much emotionally anticipated Canon full frame mirrorless camera (all rumors).

As most of you likely know, Nikon has already stated very officially (and loud) that they will announce something evolutionary, and clearly based on a full frame mirrorless design. So, it’s just straight forward to expect the market leader, that’s Canon, to follow soon.

What do we know? Canon will announce new gear ahead of Photokina 2018, that’s sure. On top of the probability ranking you’ll find the EOS M5 Mark II, a 32-35mm f/1.4 or f/1.8 lens for the EOS M system, the Canon full frame mirrorless camera (at least one), and maybe some more gear (lenses?). Please note: at the time being it’s not sure if we will see Canon’s full frame mirrorless camera in 2018 or in Q1 2019.

We didn’t get any new intel about the EOS 90D/EOS 80D Mark II or the EOS 7D Mark III. An announcement in 2018 is still in the realm of possibilities but appears to become more unlikely as time goes by.

What to say? Stay tuned, because the next weeks will tell.

Ahead of the announcement on August 23, 2018, more images of the upcoming Nikon full frame mirrorless camera are surfacing over the web. The set of pictures (product shots) you are seeing here were posted by Dilireba on Twitter.

Nikon itself is teasing their full frame mirrorless camera, with one teaser video per week. A set of specification has also already leaked:

  • Two mirrorless cameras: one with 24-25MP and one with 45MP (48MP is also a possibility).
  • Similar body size to the Sony a7 camera but with better ergonomics and a better grip.
  • 5-axis in-body stabilization
  • 9fps
  • New mirrorless mount.
  • The new mirrorless mount will allow for f/0.95 lenses
  • Memory cards: XQD and CF Express
  • EVF resolution: 3.6MP
  • Initially, three lenses will be announced: 24-70mm, 35mm and 50mm (the 35 and 50mm could be f/1.4). There is also talk about a 24mm, but it may come later.
  •  Pricing:
    • The 45MP model will be around $4,000/€4,000 in a kit with the 24-70mm lens.
    • The 25MP model will be under $3,000/€3,000 (also with a lens).
  • The official announcement is rumored for the end of July (on or around July 23rd) and shipping shortly after (August 23rd).

The new images are below.

Major Canon Announcement on September 13/14, 2018? [CW3]

Canon Rumors Canon Full Frame Mirrorless
View Post

A few days ago we were told that Canon might announce the company’s first full frame mirrorless camera in the second week of September 2018.

Another source told us (thanks) that Canon will hold an important “marketing event” on September 13 or 14, 2018. We understand this as an announcement event.

This source didn’t tell us if the suggested announcement is about Canon’s first full frame mirrorless camera (all rumors) or for other gear, i.e. the EOS M5 Mark II, also rumored to be announced before Photokina 2018. For the time being we can not give new or more reliable announcement intel for the EOS 90D/EOS Canon EOS 80D Mark II and the EOS 7D Mark III.

Nikon ha already announced the development of their full frame mirrorless camera, and told the world they will disclose it on August 23, 2018. I guess it’s safe to assume Canon is aware of this.

Canon’s first and eagerly awaited full frame mirrorless camera is coming. Stay tuned.
