Is this possible? A mirrorless camera with a full frame imaging sensor for less than $800? A new rumor suggests it is.

Canon Rumors reports with confidence that Canon might release such a camera in 2022. An EOS R model that will go over the counter for less than $800. Mind the EOS RP launched at $1,299 (and is currently at $999). Along with a kit lens this could sell for less than $1,000.

No specifications or other information for the time being. Not sure what to think about this rumor. Is this even possible? What do you think?

View Post

We didn’t get the Canon EOS R3, despite all the rumors pointing to an imminent announcement. But despair not: here is a Canon EOS R5c rumor for you.

The EOS R5c would be the cinema/movie making version of the EOS R5. Rumor-wise the EOS R5c got little attention. Canon Rumors reports with confidence that the EOS R5c might get announced in Q1 2022. The rumor also suggests that the announcement was postponed after a scheduled October 2021 release.

While getting most of the features of the Canon EOS R5, the EOS R5c might also sport:

  • active cooling
  • slightly different form factor
  • more codecs for video recording
  • full-size HDMI port.

Still a long time to go for an announcement in Q1 2022. Stay tuned.
