Canon Not Raising Resolution On Future APS-C Cameras, Keeping 24MP?

Canon Eos M5 Mark II
View Post

A new rumor from the series of tubes says that the next Canon APS-C cameras will feature an image sensor with the same resolution as currently the latest APS-C Canon cameras have, i.e. 24MP.

The 24MP sensor is said to be “all-new” but there are no specifications so far. The “all-new” sensor is supposed to be featured in the upcoming replacements for the EOS 80D, 7D Mark II, and the EOS M series.

What “all-new” means is unclear. Although we spotted some patents referring to Quad Pixel AF and stacked sensor technology, it’s unlikely Canon will feature it in upcoming cameras.

Stay tuned.

High Resolution Canon EOS R Model Featuring 75MP Sensor? [CW3]

Canon Eos R Firmware Update
View Post

We’re told that the upcoming, high resolution EOS R camera might feature a 75MP sensor.

As we repeatedly wrote, we expect Canon to announce a high resolution EOS R model somewhen in Fall 2019. There have been suggestions Canon might feature IBIS (In Body Image Stabilisation) on their high resolution EOS R camera. We take this with a grain of salt, given we are talking about Canon here.

We think it’s unlikely we will see a Canon full frame mirrorless camera with IBIS anytime soon. However, there are patent applications by Canon dealing with IBIS technology, and Canon execs are also slowly starting to admit Canon is working on IBIS.

The high resolution Canon EOS R camera might well replace the EOS 5Ds/5Ds R cameras. In other words: Canon might opt to offer a mirrorless high resolution camera instead of an DSLR.

So far the suggested sensor resolution is all we have (and we do not feel we can give it more than CW3) but there is more to come.

Stay tuned.

Report: Canon EOS 80D/7DII Replacement and EOS M5 Mark II Next From Canon?

A new report on the series of rumor outlets says that Canon is about to replace a mid-level DSLR. The same report also mentions what we are mentioning since a while now, that the replacement for the Canon EOS 80D and the EOS 7D Mark II could be one camera for both.

The report also claims what we’ve already posted many times, that the replacement for the EOS M5 will be announced within 2019.

So far no reliable information have been leaked about the specification for the EOS 80D/7DII replacement.

Stay tuned.

Canon EOS R High Resolution Camera Undergoing Field Testing [CW3]

Canon Eos R Firmware Update

We’re told that the next Canon EOS R camera is already field tested by a small group of selected photographers.

The next Canon EOS R camera will have a high resolution sensor. We expect Canon to announced the high resolution EOS R somewhen in Fall 2019. We still have no reliable information about the resolution but you can expect a sensor between 50MP and 70MP.

2020 is an Olympic year and our source suggests that Canon is looking to make a splash with their upcoming high resolution EOS R model. This leaves us somewhat puzzled since we do not believe professional photographers will embrace a mirrorless camera system for their work. Not yet. On the other hand, the Olympics might be a good stage to showcase a professional, high resolution mirrorless camera, especially if it introduces some cool and new technology. I guess it mainly depends on what features Canon will pack into their next full frame mirrorless camera.

A high resolution EOS R model is coming, that seems quite likely now.

Stay tuned.

Canon really managed to add some more confusion to their weird geo-dependent naming scheme. While it’s Rebel SL3 in the USA, the same camera is named EOS 200D Mark II in Southeast Asia (EOS 200D in Asia?), Kiss X10 in Japan, and EOS 250D in Europe. I suggest they fire someone in the marketing department. Release date is expected for April 25, 2019.
