Canon Rumor: 5 New EOS M Lenses Might Be Announced Within Next 2 Years

Canon Eos M50 Mark Ii
View Post

Here is a Canon rumor we got about the future of the EOS M mirrorless camera system.

A new source told us that Canon is planning to expand the EF-M lens lineup with five new lenses. The commercial success of the Canon EOS M50 seems to have motivated Canon to develop new EF-M lenses.

The five lenses that Canon might release over the next two years are:

  • EF-M 15mm f/2 STM
  • EF-M 52mm f/2 STM
  • EF-M 62mm f/4 Macro IS STM
  • EF-M 18-45mm f/2.8-4 IS STM
  • EF-M 100-300mm f/5.6-8 IS STM

According to the source, the EF-M 52mm f/2 STM and EF-M 100-300mm f/5.6-8 IS STM where initially planned to be released in late 2020. The Coronavirus outbreak and the disruptions in supply and manufacturing chains will make it likely that both these lenses will be released in 2021 along with the other lenses.

The next camera Canon will release is the game changing EOS R5. All we know about the R5 is listed here. More Canon rumor stuff is listed here.

Stay tuned.

High Resolution Canon EOS R Undergoing Testing Mentioned Again, 90MP Sensor

High Resolution Eos R
View Post

Last week we got a suggestion about the rumored high resolution Canon EOS R. Our source suggested a 150MP resolution, which we posted with some cautionary advise.

A new rumor about the Canon high resolution EOS R model came up. The source of this rumor suggests that 1) the high resolution EOS R is already undergoing testing by selected photographers (we got the same suggestion last year), and 2) the resolution might be closer to what we got suggested last year, i.e. a resolution somewhere around 90MP. According to the source the resolution is “significantly lower than 150mp” and “just about doubles” the 45mp in the upcoming Canon EOS R5.

The only other bit that emerged so far is that the high resolution EOS R will not be that strong on the video features side, which is to expect from a high resolution camera.

This EOS R model might get announced at the beginning of 2021. The next Canon EOS R cameras that we expect to get announced are the EOS R5 and EOS R6.

Stay tuned.

Canon EOS R5 And EOS R6 Production Might Be Delayed Because Of Coronavirus

Coronavirus Eos R5
View Post

A somewhat different Canon rumor surfaced, and it’s about the Coronavirus.

The production of the Canon EOS R5 and EOS R6 is reduced because both are “running at less than 1/4 of Canon’s manufacturing capacity due to supply chain issues from the Coronavirus“. Please note: this is a rumor, not an official report.

The same source also states that Canon is currently deciding if start to deliver the EOS R5 and EOS R6 as planned and with limited quantity available, or to wait until October 2020 to be able to satisfy the demand without shortcuts.

So far there are no official confirmation or else form Canon.

Another Yet Unreleased Canon Camera Shows Up At Certification Authority

View Post

Nokishita spotted another unreleased Canon camera as it shows up at a wireless certification authority.

The newly spotted Canon camera has the denomination DS126838, and uses the same battery as the previously spotted camera.

We think this might be either the upcoming Canon EOS R5 or, maybe more likely, the also upcoming Canon EOS R6.

Please note that the data sheet below mentions a 600EX-RX Speedlite. Is this just a typo (600EX-RT would be correct) or is Canon set to release a new flash?

Stay tuned for more to come.

Canon Rumor: EOS R Model With 150MP Sensor On Its Way? (really?)

Canon Rumor
View Post

We were reluctant to publish this Canon rumor, which we already got some weeks ago. But now we heard it from another source too.

Might this be realistic? A Canon EOS R model with a 150MP image sensor? That’s what we have been told. Never the less, we are not sure what to think about this rumor.

Before the Canon EOS R5 development announcement we would have dismissed this rumor it without any second thought. But seeing how feature packed the EOS R5 is, and seeing how clearly Canon is set to shake up the industry, we are no longer sure this rumor has to be considered bs. Don’t get us wrong: we still think it’s unlikely Canon will release a 150MP EOS R model, but we can’t exclude it.

For sure Canon has the know-how and the facilities to build such a sensor. But is the market ready for such a resolution beast? So far the highest rumored resolution for the high megapixel EOS R was 80MP. Now we are talking a resolution that’s almost 2 times as high. All rumors about the high resolution EOS R are listed here.

So, help us out on this. Do you think this a 150MP EOS R body has any chance to be real? More Canon rumor stuff is listed here. The next EOS R model to be released is the Canon EOS R5, expected to hit the shelves before the Summer Olympics.
