Nokishita posted an updated list of unreleased Canon gear along with some speculation about the camera models and announcement date.

According to Nokishita’s list, there are two full frame mirrorless cameras scheduled to be released. At least one of the FF MILC might have 30MP sensor. Some of the information we got last week gets confirmed by Nokishita, in particular the possible announcement dates that have previously been suggested to us.

  • K424 (most likely Canon’s upcoming full frame mirrorless camera)
  • Full frame mirrorless camera
  • Wi-Fi · Bluetooth installed
  • Not compatible with smartphone’s Bluetooth remote control function
  • Resolution: 6720 × 4480 (30MP)
  • Announcement in late 2018 to early 2019
  • K433 (one more full frame MILC?)
  • mirrorless camera
  • Probably full frame (not APS-C)
  • Wi-Fi · Bluetooth installed
  • Compatible with smartphone’s Bluetooth remote control function
  • Probably released in 2019
  • K436 (may be the Canon EOS 80D replacement)
  • DSLR
  • APS-C sensor
  • Wi-Fi · Bluetooth installed
  • Battery level indication is displayed in 4 levels (same as 9000D/77D)
  • Compatible with smartphone’s Bluetooth remote control function
  • Probably released in 2019 or later
  • K437 (likely to be the EOS 7D Mark III)
  • Single-lens reflex camera
  • Wi-Fi · Bluetooth installed
  • Battery level indicator is displayed in six levels (same as 5D Mark IV etc.)
  • Compatible with smartphone’s Bluetooth remote control function
  • Probably released in 2019 or later
  • EC801 (upcoming PowerShot model, either PowerShot SX740 or PowerShot G7X III)
  • Compact digital camera
  • Wi-Fi · Bluetooth installed
  • Compatible with smartphone’s Bluetooth remote control function
  • EC804 (upcoming PowerShot model, either PowerShot SX740 or PowerShot G7X III)
  • Compact digital camera
  • Wi-Fi · Bluetooth installed
  • Powershot G series
  • Compatible with smartphone’s Bluetooth remote control function
  • EC 805 (unknown so far)
  • Compact digital camera
  • Wi-Fi · Bluetooth installed
  • Compatible with smartphone’s Bluetooth remote control function
  • EC 811 (we think this is the EOS M5 Mark II)
  • Mirrorless camera
  • APS-C
  • Wi-Fi · Bluetooth installed
  • Compatible with smartphone’s Bluetooth remote control function

Announcement dates are still speculation. Canon might announce the highly anticipated full frame mirrorless camera for Photokina 2018 (September) but an announcement in Q1 2019 is also possible. The only camera we are reasonably sure it will be announced for Photokina 2018 is the Canon EOS M5 Mark II.

Sony just announced a very interesting lens, the Sony FE 400mm f/2.8 GM OSS. It’s just natural to want to compare this lens with top tier Canon 400mm and Nikon 400mm lenses.

Matt Granger seems to be the first one to post such a comparison. According to Matt Granger, the Sony 400mm “smokes the Nikon & Canon”, and is…

Lighter, fast and optically superior – the Sony lens is damned impressive! However there are two issues…

I guess there are no issues on the Canon and Nikon 400mm lenses.
