The best entry-level mirrorless camera. Hot question, isn’t it?
DPReview‘s Chris and Jordan compare the Fujifilm X-T200, the Sony a6100 and the Canon EOS M50. And the question is: which one is right for you? While we are (obviously) rooting for the EOS M50, the Fujifilm X-T200 might…well…be interesting too.

Here is a comparison of Canon RF zoom lenses.
Matt Granger compares four Canon RF zoom lenses for the Canon EOS R full frame mirrorless system, these:
The next camera to be announced in the EOS R lineup is the Canon EOS R5, an industry game changer.
Well that’s an interesting Canon patent application. One that might get into production.
Canon patent application 20200073213 (USA) describes a battery grip with adapter that fits various cameras.
From the abstract:
An accessory attachable to an image pickup apparatus through an adapter includes a body portion configured to contact the adapter, a screw engageable with a screw hole in the image pickup apparatus through a through-hole formed in the adapter, an operation unit configured to move the screw relative to the body portion. The screw is movable in a plurality of directions including a direction along an optical axis of the image pickup apparatus and a direction orthogonal to the optical axis in accordance with an operation of the operation unit by a user.
From the patent literature:
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

So, here is another humor(ish) post about the upcoming Canon EOS R5.
The folks at Camera Conspiracies wonders if the EOS R5 will survive Canon’s cripple hammer, i.e. how much the specifications Canon revealed at the development announcement (for instance 8K video) will be reduced in their scale (for instance heavily cropped 8K).
Will the Canon Cripple Hammer let the Canon R5 leave the warehouse untouched? Or will there be a back alley battle to cripple the perfect camera? Does 8k matter? Will Canon IBIS be better than Panasonic and Olympus? Will this camera end my channel like the Fuji XT4 is attempting? Let’s find out :)
All we know so far about the EOS R5 is listed here.
Canon press release:
MELVILLE, NY, March 3, 2020 – Enabling powerful research, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, celebrates the 25th anniversary of wolf restoration in Yellowstone National Park along with the company’s support for wildlife research and conservation in the park for more than 20 years. In 1995, the U.S. government restored wolves back to the park, where they had been absent for more than 70 years. Since the reintroduction, wolves have played a significant role in the park’s ecosystem and recently gray wolves have been delisted from the endangered species list in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming.
Eyes on Yellowstone, an education and research program, has been made possible through Canon U.S.A. Inc.’s proud sponsorship with Yellowstone Forever, the park’s official non-profit partner. Canon’s sponsorship of Yellowstone Forever contributes to important scientific research, including the Yellowstone Wolf Project, and helps break new ground in conservation, endangered species protection, and the application of cutting-edge science and technology that is essential to managing Yellowstone National Park’s delicate ecosystems and wildlife.
