No More Supply Issues For Latest Canon Cameras (and some accessories)

Canon Eos R8 Review

Canon Japan posted a statement where they communicate that supply issues affecting their recently announced cameras are now solved.

The latest Canon product advisory says there is supply shortage only for two lenses.

RF 400mm F2.8L IS USM
RF 800mm F5.6L IS USM
We are planning to ship in order, but it may take longer than usual to deliver.

The following gear is no longer experiencing supply issues:

Stay tuned.

Two EF-M Lenses Discontinued: EF-M 55-200mm F4.5-6.3 IS & 18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS

EF-M 55-200mm

At least in Japan, it seems Canon discontinued the EF-M 55-200mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM and EF-M 18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM lenses.

This seems to give credit to the “EOS M is dead”-folks. It’s true indeed that Canon released to very similar lenses for the RF mount, the RF-S 18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM and RF-S 55-210mm F5-7.1 IS STM. Does this mean, Canon wants you to migrate to the RF-mount? Maybe.

Canon RF 100-300mm F2.8L IS Might Get Released Soon, And Cost A Small Fortune

It seems Canon is set to soon release a new lens for the EOS R system, the Canon RF 100-300mm F2.8L IS.

The Canon RF 100-300mm F2.8L IS is a hot topic on 5chan, and some Japanese rumor sites are reporting it and giving it some credit. The price is nothing for budget oriented photographers.

  • RF 100-300mm F2.8L IS USM – $9499
  • Lens Hood ET-124 – $650
  • Lens Cap E-112 – $25

A high end lens for professionals, not foreseen on any of the noisy rumor sites. And it seems it is coming 2023.

Stay tuned.

DPReview Will Not Disappear Any Time Soon (albeit it will become an archive)

DPReview

So, some news about legendary photographic authority DPReview, which has become a victim of Amazon’s greed and dumbness.

A few weeks ago, news broke that DPReview will shut down and some of the staff migrate to PetaPixel. But now there is some hope to preserve the camera and lens tests, the comparison tool and some other stuff. That is: DPReview will become an archive and stay online for the foreseeable future. For how long no one knows. But they will even post some new content while they work to become an archive. Scott Everett, DPReview’s General Manager, wrote:

Dear readers,

We’ve received a lot of questions about what’s next for the site. We hear your concerns about losing the content that has been carefully curated over the years, and want to assure you that the content will remain available as an archive.

We’ve also heard that you need more time to access the site, so we’re going to keep publishing some more stories while we work on archiving.

At least that.

Did Canon Pull Their Canon EOS R7 C Plans?

Canon Eos R7 Review Canon Firmware Updates

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.
