Is Canon set to announce an ultra-wide lens for the RF-S mount? It appears so.

The source of the rumor has been…:

[…] told that “one of” the next lenses announced from Canon will be an ultra-wide for the RF-S mount. We are are going to assume that the lens will be some kind of variation of the terrific Canon EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM.

We think it is very likely Canon has such a lens on their release plan.

Did Canon Pull Their Canon EOS R7 C Plans?

Or did they never have a plan to release an EOS R7 C? Just asking for a friend ;-)

Last year the rumor about an APS-C Cinema camera made its rounds, and encountered some skepticism.

Now, it seems, Canon no longer has such plans, i.e. to launch an EOS R7 C. The source of the rumor says the plans “have been scraped” during 2022.

The original rumor stated:

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.

There is just a little issue here. As far as I know, the EOS R7 sensor can’t scan the full sensor 16:9 area at 60p. It only offers HQ at 30p. So either Canon originally was thinking to release a new “EOS R7 sensor”, or the rumor was just wishful thinking.

Stay tuned.
