Will The White Unicorn Be Announced With Two RF-S Lenses? (Canon EOS R7, again)

My my, the third Canon EOS R7 rumor in two days. If that does not mean something.

Latest about the white unicorn has it that Canon might announced two RF-S lenses (i.e. lenses for the RF mount and an APS-C imaging sensor) along with the fabled Canon EOS R7. Be aware that neither “RF-S” not “EOS R7” are anything official. These are just monikers invented by the rumoring community.

Says the source of the rumor:

At this time, we do not know what the lenses will be, but we have had a Canon RF 18-45mm f/4-5.6 IS STM on our roadmap for a long time, could this be an RF-S lens?

This is a rather irritating rumor: It has been spread for one reason only: there is certain probability Canon might indeed announce such a camera (i.e. an EOS R model with APS-C sensor). Sooner or later it will happen and someone will be able to tell they told us ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The White Unicorn Is Delayed Again (Canon EOS R7 with APS-C sensor)

Here are the latest about the Canon EOS R7, the white unicorn in the Canon rumors domain.

Rumored since the beginning of the EOS R era, the Canon EOS R7 is said to get announced within a few months, and then gets delayed again. We heard it being in the hand of selected photographers and undergoing field testing, then we heard it will be the next camera Canon is going to announce. But now we are told that it will come not earlier than Q4 2022.

The Canon EOS R7, featuring an APS-C imaging sensor, is a camera Canon will make sooner or later (likely, but we are still a bit skeptical). So why not start a rumor as early as possible. As bad as it can go, sooner or later the rumor will happen to be real. So far it has just been a continuous delaying of the possible announcement date.

Moreover, so far no specifications. Stay tuned for the next rumor. All Canon EOS R7 rumors are listed here.

Canon might announce two new and fast Cinema zoom lenses in April 2022.

Latest rumor has it that Canon might have two Cinema zooms in the pipeline. Both lenses are said to feature a T stop of 2.0. One lens might start between 14mm and 20mm and go up between 40mm and 60mm. The other lens might start between 30mm ad 45mm and go up to 80mm-90mm.

Both lenses are designed for a Super 35mm imaging sensor but can be used with a converter.

The lenses could replace the CN 15.5-47mm and CN 30-105mm, and will be available for the EF and PL mounts.

The White Unicorn Is Back: Canon EOS R With APS-C To Come In 2022?

And here we are again. A new rumor about the Canon EOS R model with a crop sensor.

This time the rumor goes with high confidence, according to Canon Rumors, which gave it their highest ranking. I am still very skeptical about this to be real, but who am I to tell? Most about the EOS R with APS-C is still in the realm of the unknown, though:

The long rumoured APS-C RF mount camera from Canon is starting to appear more and more likely. […] have been told by an [sic] solid source that Canon is “definitely” releasing an APS-C RF mount camera in 2022.

[…] don’t know if we’re talking about something like an “EOS R7” or a camera (s) to take the place of the EOS M line.

Call me a disbeliever but I do still have a hard time to buy it. Guess I will be proven wrong. Time will tell.

These Might Be The Canon EOS R5c Specifications

Remember the Canon EOS R5c? It’s Canon’s rumored EOS R camera for Cinema (hence the “c”). New bits emerged from the interweb of rumor mills.

Canon Rumors reports with high confidentiality a set of possible Canon EOS R5c specifications. Without further ado, here they are:

  • Canon Log 3
  • Canon Log 2 is still being discussed
  • Unlimited 8K30P recording in Cinema RAW Light. XF-AVC and MP4
  • Timecode in/out
  • The same multipurpose hot shoe as the EOS R3. Which will work with accessories such as the Tascam XLR module.
  • Active cooling
  • 3/8″ or 1/4″ mounting point on the EVF for a top handle that won’t interfere with the hot shoe.
  • Full-size HDMI Port
  • The LCD has been moved further back to accommodate the cooling fan. So this likely means that it won’t recess into the body like the Canon EOS R5.

“Active cooling” sounds interesting. Might make it bulkier, and allow for long recording times with 4K and 8K. Announcement of the Canon EOS R5c is expected in 2022. The moniker comes from the community and not from Canon.
