We expect Canon to announce new gear on February 24, 2022. Two new telephoto lenses might be part of the announcement.
On top you can see a small image with the two lenses we now know Canon will announce on 2/24: the Canon RF 800mm f/5.6L IS and RF 1200mm f/8L IS. The image on top, which showed up on Chinese social media after it was leaked by mistake by Canon, even states the date (2/24).
Will there other gear that gets announced on 2/24? Likely. Stay tuned.
Canon might be ready to announce new gear on February 24, 2022. What will get announced?
Canon announced on their official Weibo account (image on top) that the company is set to make an announcement on February 24, 2022. No hints about what could get announced. Is it one of the rumored telephoto lenses, or maybe a new mirrorless camera?
All Canon rumors are listed here. Let your speculations run wild in the comment section.
Rumor has it that Canon might be set to announce soon two new lenses for the RF mount.
The new lenses Canon may be going to announce soon are the RF 800mm f/5.6L IS and the RF 1200mm f/8L IS. It seems both lenses have been added to retailer listings. And that’s all we know.
Edit: We just learned that cameras have started to morph. We were utterly wrong in our original post: the EOS C5 is not the EOS C50 that was rumored previously Instead, the C50 morphed to become the C5. Apparently because of the global pandemic. It’s not yet clear if other cameras will also start to shape-shift. We keep you posted.
After our (weak) rumor about a possible Canon EOS C5 Cinema camera, new murmurings have surfaced from the interweb of rumor mills.
It’s suggested the Canon EOS C5 is the previously rumored Canon EOS C50. We do not agree. While both rumors are better taken with a grain of salt, we do not see any resemblance between the two rumors.
Canon EOS C50
Canon EOS C5
– Super 35mm 4K sensor (same as the Cinema EOS C200) – No IBIS – RF Mount – Internal ND (10 Stops) – CLog 2 & CLog 3 – 4:2:0 8bit internally onto SD cards up to 4K60 & 1080/120 – 4:2:2: 10bit external in HD – No RAW – Dual LP-E6NH battery slot
– The camera is a combination of the EOS R5 C and EOS C300 III, similar in appearance to the EOS R5 C, but more square, with the electric ND filter of the EOS C300 III, the professional interface of the EOS C70, and an extended battery compartment. – Its XF-AVC recording format is the same as the EOS C70, but it uses a modified version of the EOS R5 C’s CMOS sensor with a total of 22.5 megapixels. – With a sampling resolution of 8192×2160, it is capable of perfect oversampling to 4K 120fps, making it Canon’s current 4K 120fps product with the best image quality. – When the frame rate is reduced to 72fps or less, DGO mode is turned on to provide higher dynamic range. – Unlike the current EOS C70, it does not offer RAW recording for now. – Full pixel QPAF, and RAW internal recording in subsequent firmware. – In terms of photography, it no longer offers a mechanical shutter and is replaced by in-body stabilization.
I can’t see anything that might suggest these cameras are one and the same model. Any thoughts?
Canon Rumors reports that the Canon EOS R7 might be the next camera the company is going to announce. Unfortunately, despite coming from a “source with a pretty solid record“, the rumor doesn’t tell much but that the announcement of the Canon EOS R7 might happen in March 2022.
We have always been rather skeptical about the possibility of Canon making an EOS R model with APS-C sensor. Truth to be told, we are now slightly less skeptical. Some Canon patents suggest RF-S lenses (i.e. lenses for the RF mount and an APS-C imaging sensor) are at least considered in Canon’s R&D labs. Never the less, we still have a somewhat hard time buying the possibility of an EOS R model with APS-C. On the other hand, it’s likely that the EOS 7D Mark II and EOS 90D might not get a replacement. Which would give some credit to the white unicorn hypothesis (i.e. EOS R with APS-C).
We got a rumor from an unknown source. We report it as it is out of duty. Please take it with a grain of salt. Is a Canon EOS C5 coming?
We got tipped about a new, upcoming mirrorless Canon Cinema camera. A Cinema camera that seems to be closely related to the EOS R5/EOS R5 C. This is what we got:
The camera is a combination of the EOS R5 C and EOS C300 III, similar in appearance to the EOS R5 C, but more square, with the electric ND filter of the EOS C300 III, the professional interface of the EOS C70, and an extended battery compartment.
Its XF-AVC recording format is the same as the EOS C70, but it uses a modified version of the EOS R5 C’s CMOS sensor with a total of 22.5 megapixels.
With a sampling resolution of 8192×2160, it is capable of perfect oversampling to 4K 120fps, making it Canon’s current 4K 120fps product with the best image quality.
When the frame rate is reduced to 72fps or less, DGO mode is turned on to provide higher dynamic range.
Unlike the current EOS C70, it does not offer RAW recording for now.
Full pixel QPAF, and RAW internal recording in subsequent firmware.
In terms of photography, it no longer offers a mechanical shutter and is replaced by in-body stabilization.
The source suggested the moniker “Canon EOS C5“. Again, don’t forget the grain of salt. Please let me know what you think about this rumor. Anything to take seriously?
