Has The Canon EOS M6 Mark II Been Discontinued?

A new and a bit weird rumor surfaced. Is the Canon EOS M6 Mark II set to be discontinued soon?

Reborn Canon Rumors suggests that Canon might soon discontinue the Canon EOS M6 Mark II. They write:

[…] reports from two different countries that the Canon EOS M6 Mark II has been discontinued. There will obviously be inventory in various stores around the globe.

With no rumoured successor, […] this may be the biggest sign yet that the EOS M system is going to be phased out in favour of an RF mount APS-C camera line.

The Canon EOS R7 will be a more “professional” design, but we fully expect Canon to announce an RF mount APS-C camera or two in the future with similar ergonomics as the EOS M series.

So, the EOS M6 II is going to get discontinued in favor of an APS-C sensor powered EOS R model. We still have plenty of doubts here. Any idea?

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)_/¯

Yesterday we learned the Canon EOS R7 (with APS-C sensor) will get announced in Q4 2022. Today we have a set of alleged specifications. How handy!

Here are the rumored Canon EOS R7 specifications:

  • 32mp APS-C BSI Image Sensor
  • 20fps
  • DIGIC X
  • 1x CFExpress & 1x SD Card Slots
  • 4K @ 60fps

  • Announcement in August 2022

If you follow us, you know we still do not entirely buy it. An EOS R model with APS-C sensor? Why would Canon make it?

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 EOS R7 The Next Camera Canon Is Set To Announce (is the white unicorn coming)?

Here is a new, hot rumor about the alleged Canon EOS R model with an APS-C sensor. Is a Canon EOS R7 coming?

Canon Rumors reports that the Canon EOS R7 might be the next camera the company is going to announce. Unfortunately, despite coming from a “source with a pretty solid record“, the rumor doesn’t tell much but that the announcement of the Canon EOS R7 might happen in March 2022.

We have always been rather skeptical about the possibility of Canon making an EOS R model with APS-C sensor. Truth to be told, we are now slightly less skeptical. Some Canon patents suggest RF-S lenses (i.e. lenses for the RF mount and an APS-C imaging sensor) are at least considered in Canon’s R&D labs. Never the less, we still have a somewhat hard time buying the possibility of an EOS R model with APS-C. On the other hand, it’s likely that the EOS 7D Mark II and EOS 90D might not get a replacement. Which would give some credit to the white unicorn hypothesis (i.e. EOS R with APS-C).

Any thoughts…?

Three Canon EOS R Models With APS-C Sensor Coming, Sooner or Later?

As if it wasn’t enough to have a years long rumor about an unlikely Canon EOS R model with APS-C sensor, now we have three (3) such cameras that are rumored.

Coming from Canon Rumors, this new, low rated rumor adds even more absurdity to the queue. Three Canon EOS R models with APS-C are said to get announced one day. Oh, and obviously the EOS M system is declared death once more.

The first of the EOS R cameras with APS-C imaging sensor that are rumored is the EOS R7, which, could it be otherwise?, will replace the EOS 7D Mark II. This one might get announced towards the end of 2021, according to the source. But that an EOS R model with crop sensor might get announced within the year is said every 6 months since 3 years.

Next one in the cabinet of unlikely events is the EOS R8, said to be the tool for vloggers and other video people. No dates here.

Next, we have the EOS R9, said to be an entry-level camera.

Honestly, we still don’t think this will happen. We get similar rumors but so far refrained from posting since we do not buy it. Maybe there will be an RF mount camera with APS-C in the future, and with future we mean “in the future”. We just can’t see Canon killing the EOS M system, as these traffic driving rumors love to state. It’s a best selling system.

Feel free to politely share your opinion.
