Are These The Canon EOS C500 Mark II Specifications?

EOS C500
View Post

A new rumor about the upcoming Canon EOS C500 Mark II Cinema camera claims to list its specifications.

It seems 8K video will not be on board:

  • Full-frame sensor
  • RAW internal recording (both 4K and 2K). 4K is up to 60p, 2K up to 120p.
  • Optional XF-AVC recording in 4:2:2 10 bit (4K up to 60p, 2k up to 120p)
  • User interchangeable lens mount
  • Optional modules with EVF, genlock, timecode, 12G-SDI, etc
  • EF and PL mount available at launch
  • Power supply with BP-A series batteries, an optional module for V-Mount batteries
  • Optional module for 4x XLR inputs
  • Backwards compatibility with EVF-V70, LV-M1 and some other peripherals from previous Cinema EOS cameras
  • New media usage: CFExpress cards for faster readings and writing speed
  • WiFi and IP Streaming capabilities

So, which 8K camera has been used at the Apple event earlier this year? Not the EOS C500 Mark II, since it seems there is no 8K on board.

A Videocamera With RF Mount Might Be On Its Way, And Not Made By Canon (RED Komodo)

View Post

Well this is interesting. RED about to release a videocamera with Canon’s RF mount (EOS R system)?

That’s what NewsShooter reports after having spotted a teaser for a RED camera named “Komodo”. And while it is just speculation for the time being, the folks at NewsShooter has a good point. If you compare the three images below, and look at the contacts on the mount of the RED Komodo, it seems the Komodo is featuring a Canon RF mount. At least the EF mount image (on the right) has a different array of contacts.

  • RED Komodo mount
  • Canon RF mount
  • Canon EF mount

Looks like an RF mount doesn’t it?

So far RED’s President Jarred Land has only revealed what the RED Komodo is not:

  • It is not DSMC3
  • It is not a replacement for DSMC2
  • It is not 8k VV
  • It is not a Dragon or a Helium or a Gemini or a Monstro Sensor
  • It does not have an HDMI port
  • It does not use proprietary media
  • It is not a “module” 
  • It is not under $5k, unless you own a Hydrogen. 
  • It has no XLR ports
  • It does not have a fixed lens
  • It’s body does not weight more than 2 pounds.
  • It is not larger than 4 inches in any dimension.

An RF mount wouldn’t be a bad thing for a RED videocamera anyway. It would allow to use a plethora of lenses, both Canon EF lenses as well as others (mounted via adapter). So, at least from this point of view it looks plausible.

What do you think, is it possible that RED will release a videocamera with Canon RF mount? Sound off in the comment section.

Are These The Canon EOS M6 Mark II Specifications?

Canon EOS M6
View Post

After yesterday’s rumor about the announcement of the Canon EOS M5 Mark II and EOS M6 Mark II (all rumors), a set of suggested specifications for the upcoming Canon EOS M6 Mark II surfaced.

The Canon EOS M6 Mark II appears to be focused on vloggers:

  • 32.5 mp APS-C CMOS sensor (new sensor technology for higher dynamic range)
  • DIGIC 8+ Imaging Processor
  • 4K up to 30p (with no crop or 1.3x no pixel binning crop), Full HD up to 180p
  • No Canon Log but new Movie Picture Style
  • Dual Pixel AF Focus Guide
  • New Selfie mode and Vlog mode
  • Enhanced Movie IS
  • High-speed continuous shooting at a maximum of 16 FPS (with AE/AF)
  • RAW Burst mode at 30 FPS (with AE/AF)
  • Dual Pixel AF with expanded area
  • Eye AF (tracking possible)
  • Electronic shutter 1/16000s
  • Focus Bracketing
  • Supports external electronic viewfinder
  • USB-C charge power supply

While the specification list above is plausible, we recommend you take it with grain of salt. Lots of low reliability rumors are flooding the Internet, and so far the sources that were right in the past didn’t deliver any bits.

We expect Canon to have an announcement on August 28, 2019. Besides the Canon EOS 90D we expect Canon to announced also the Canon EOS M5 Mark II and the EOS M6 Mark II (leaked through certification authorities). Some new EF-M lenses are also possible.

Stay tuned, more to come soon.

A Pro Canon EOS R Camera In 2020 Seems To Be Very Likely, Rumor

canon eos-1d x mark ii
View Post

A new rumor suggests that a professional (think EOS-1D X equivalent) Canon EOS R body in 2020 is almost a sure thing.

A pro or sport oriented EOS R camera is rumored since a while and we know it is in development. 2020 is the year of the Summer Olympics. Canon will most likely announce the EOS-1D X Mark III before the Games, and an EOS R body which is equally oriented to sport photography might also be on Canon’s agenda. The rumor suggests such an EOS R camera might “definitely be in photographers hands” ahead of the Summer Games. However, this might mean these people is testing the camera, with an official announcement coming later on.

Before this pro/sport oriented EOS R body, we expect Canon to announce a high resolution model, possibly towards end of 2019.

Stay tuned, there is more to come.
