It seems three upcoming Nikon mirrorless cameras leaked through an Indonesian certification authority, according to Nokishita.

  • Equipment: Digital camera
  • Brand: Nikon
  • Model: N1711

No idea if Nikon’s future full frame mirrorless camera is among these three cameras. An announcement will most likely come not earlier than September 2018, if not later.

Canon’s upcoming full frame mirrorless camera may also already have leaked through certification authorities. Here too, an announcement is expected not earlier than September, or in early 2019 before Photokina 2019 (which happens in May)

Canon EOS 5Ds Mark II now rumored to be a 2019 affair

As we always stated, the replacement for the Canon EOS 5Ds and 5Ds R is not going to be announced in 2018. It’s met likely an announcement we will see not earlier than 2019. No surprisingly, this is now making rounds on the web.

Some people is trying to suggest Canon’s prototype 120MP APS-H sensor (or some sensor built on it) may  find its way into the next EOS 5Ds. That’s crap. The EOS 5Ds Mark II will have a resolution bump, but neither an APS-H sensor nor 120MP.

Stay tuned.

These are not the specifications for Canon’s upcoming full frame mirrorless camera

A list of specifications for the upcoming Canon full frame mirrorless camera is making its rounds over the web.

Our sources told us these specs are total crap, they have nothing to do with Canon’s FF MILC (same source that delivered EOS M50 pics before the announcement). While some of the stuff listed below may find its way into the long rumored Canon FF MILC, it remains a totally unreliable rumor.

The Canon FF MILC specification list making its rounds:

  • Look & Feel: large grip with top LCD, very comfortable to hold; dials are very similar to those we found on the EOS 5D Mark IV.
  • Side articulating screen
  • Sensor: Upgraded version of the EOS 5D Mark IV sensor, obviously includes DPAF.
  • Frame rate: 10FPS
  • Silent shutter and 1/16000sec shutter speed is available
  • Focus control is very similar to EOS 5D Mark IV’s 61-pt AF system.
  • Dual SD card slots
  • Video Features: C-Log 1/2/3, Focus Guide
  • Formats available: 60p/30p/24p 4K (both DCI & UHD can be chosen).
  • FHD 120p
  • Weight: not very light, but similar to Sony A7 but a bit larger due to the big grip.

I think I’ve seldom seen a rumor so much abused like the Canon full frame mirrorless rumor. Besides all the murmuring and rumor-recycling, we know very little about Canon’s full frame mirrorless camera. All tidbits we collected and were told in the past are listed here. Please note that none of the following has been confirmed so far:

  • Dedicated full frame CMOS sensor
  • Different sources and sites were reporting that early prototypes exist, at least to be tested inside Canon’s labs. This intel came in 2016 and early 2017.
  • Canon is possibly working on a full-frame mirrorless camera with EF mount. There have been rumors saying that Canon is delaying this camera because of issues in implementing the EF mount. There is a lot of talk about this. If Canon manages to engineer a full-frame mirrorless camera with EF mount, thus allowing us to use our beloved EF lenses on a smaller and hopefully performing body, it will be a winner. Imagine what you could do with a MILC that goes along with your EF lenses. There is a serious chance we may see this.
  • The latest bit of info I got suggests Canon will announce a full-frame mirrorless camera with a sensor having a resolution of 36-38MP.
  • Announcement may come for Photokina 2018 (September), or later in 2019 Q1.

At the end of the day, there is just one thing we can be sure about: Canon is set to announce a full frame mirrorless camera within a year. Here at CW we know since a while and reported it. Even Sony’s CEO said that Canon will announce a FF mirrorless before Q1 2019.

Given the traffic-making qualities of the Canon FF MILC rumor, I fear we will see and hear a lot of crap before we have something reliable.

Stay tuned, we keep you posted with the important stuff.

Canon’s upcoming full frame mirrorless camera may have leaked through certification authority

Canon Rumorscanon rumors

Nokishita posted a list of unreleased Canon gear, taken from “test data” (which I guess means from a certification authority’s listing). Before you get all breathless, please keep in mind that if the gear listed below is in a development stage (i.e. prototypes) the listed specifications may not refer to the actual model (i.e. dummy specs or place fillers). However, it seems our so often copied rumors about Canon’s full frame mirrorless camera got an authoritative and serious endorsment by Nokishita.

The model numbers listed below may point to the long rumored Canon full frame mirrorless camera.

  • K424 [editor’s note: this might be Canon’s FF MILC]
    • Interchangeable lens camera
    • Full size [= full frame, editor’s note]
    • Wi-Fi · Bluetooth installed
    • It is described as mirrorless image size (6720 × 4480) in the test data (since the detail column is filled with almost the same data as 5D Mark IV [K349], the image size may be a dummy possibility)
  • K433
    • Interchangeable lens camera
    • Wi-Fi · Bluetooth installed
    • It is described as mirrorless full size in the test data (it is the same as the data of K424, so it is possible that the initial setting data was diverted for testing)

Please note that K424 and K433 may point to the same camera, and that the listed specifications may be “dummy specs”, i.e. place fillers (according to Nokishita too). It’s not easy to guess (or understand) if the models above really point to Canon’s full frame mirrorless camera. However, given the reliability of Nokishita we consider it a strong possibility.

The list goes on with more unreleased Canon gear. As you can see below there are DSRls, PowerShots, and one more mirrorless cameras on Canon’s agenda (EC 811). The DSLRs may point to the EOS 90D or EOS 7D Mark III or to the replacement for the EOS 5Ds/5Ds R.

  • K436 [editor’s note: a DSLR]
    • Lens interchangeable camera (probably single lens reflex)
    • Wi-Fi · Bluetooth installed
  • K437 [editor’s note: a DSLR]
    • Lens interchangeable camera (probably single lens reflex)
    • Wi-Fi · Bluetooth installed
  • EC801 [editor’s note: a PowerShot]
    • Compact digital camera
    • Wi-Fi · Bluetooth installed
  • EC804 [editor’s note: a PowerShot]
    • Compact digital camera
    • Wi-Fi · Bluetooth installed
    • More functions than EC 801 and EC 805 (probably G series)
  • EC 805 [editor’s note: a PowerShot]
    • Compact digital camera
    • Wi-Fi · Bluetooth installed
  • EC 811 [editor’s note: a mirrorless camera]
    • Mirror-less camera
    • Wi-Fi · Bluetooth installed

The listed gear may be scheduled to be announced around Photokina 2018 (September).

What do you think, is K424 Canon’s upcoming full frame mirrorless camera?
