The Canon EOS M5 is getting more attention than I thought. A sign that Canon isn’t making anything wrong when it comes to mirrorless. Jared Polin, better known as FroKnowsPhoto, posted a 30 minutes video where he goes through the setup of the Canon EOS M5. The video is also a user guide to the EOS M5.

Canon posted two documents from the company’s Corporate Strategy Conference 2017.

Go for the presentation material. In summary, these 5 points comprise Canon’s key strategy for the next years:

  1. Establish a new production system to achieve a cost-of-sales ratio of 45%
  2. Reinforce and expand new businesses while creating future businesses

Should the photography industry really face a downfall, Canon will be active in other industries.

Basically, in order to help you the right lens for you, your needs are broken down to three aspects:

These registered Canon gear has not been announced yet (EOS 6D Mark II?)

 

canon rumorsEos 6d mark ii

There is still a list of Canon gear that was registered at certification authorities but has yet to be announced by Canon.

Please note: some sites are insisting the Canon EOS 6D Mark II is among the list. While this for sure captures the interest of the masses, it’s also good to be honest to say that there is no hint in the list pointing to the EOS 6D Mark II (which, btw, is late on schedule). The other Canon DSLR many want to spot in the list is the Canon EOS SL2, which I am sure will be announced soon.

The Canon EOS 6D Mark II is becoming more mysterious month after month. First, there are some persistent rumors (1 | 2) that there will be no EOS 6D Mark II but a mirrorless full-frame camera instead, and second, no one had any reliable intel about the EOS 6D Mark II so far. This is a bit unusual even for a company dedicated to secrecy like Canon.

The list of Canon gear registered at certification authorities:

DS126631

  • Digital single-lens reflex camera
  • Wi-Fi · Bluetooth installed
  • Equipped with latest wireless module ES202

DS126671

  • Digital single-lens reflex camera
  • Wi-Fi · Bluetooth installed
  • The wireless module is the same as KissX 9i and 9000D with ES 200

PC 2329

  • made in Japan
  • Wi-Fi · Bluetooth installed
  • PC 2335

PowerShot SX 730 HS

  • PC 2329 or PC 2335
  • Color: Black / Silver

Back to the EOS 6D Mark II. Canon Watch posted bits of suggested specifications over the last 2 years. Summing it up, these are the EOS 6D Mark II specifications thar have been suggested to me:

  • 28MP sensor
  • 45 AF points (all cross-type)
  • Dual Pixel AF
  • DIGIC 7
  • Wi-Fi and NFC
  • GPS
  • Articulated touchscreen
  • 6 fps
  • HDR Movie & Time Lapse Movie
  • 4K video
  • Electronic IBIS
  • Dual SD card slots
  • 100% coverage optical viewfinder with some new features

All Canon EOS 6D Mark II rumors, all Canon rumors.
