Canon EOS R8 To Be Announced In February 2023?

canon rumors canon news eos r7 mark ii canon eos rv

Here is the latest X-Mas Canon rumor for you. What about a new Canon mirrorless camera, an EOS R8?

Latest from the interweb of rumor mills has it that Canon might be set to announce a new mirrorless camera ahead of CP+ 2023, which happens in February 2023.

Says the source of the rumor, that they have…:

[…] been told a couple of times that the EOS R8 will take on a bit of a different form factor and will have a new kind of “flippy screen”. We also believe that the EOS R8 will use the same 24.2mp image sensor that is used in the EOS R10.

There will be a lot more announced ahead of CP+ […]

We are a bit puzzled a about the moniker, EOS R8. Doesn’t the number 8 have a special meaning in Japanese culture? Time will tell.

And Yet Another Canon Rumor: Camera Between R7 And R10 Coming?

canon rumors canon news eos r7 mark ii canon eos rv

Here is another wave in the recent flood of Canon rumors. Canon might be set to announced an EOS R model that sits between the EOS R7 and EOS R10.

Quoting the source (emphasis mine):

[…] latest bit of information […] is a new camera body coming that will fit between the Canon EOS R7 and Canon EOS R10 in the lineup from a price standpoint. We don’t think that this is going to be a similar product placement as we had seen with DSLRs and the EOS 77D. We think that the EOS R8/EOS R9 (guessing on the name) will have a different form factor and could possibly see the omission of a built-in viewfinder, but those are just guesses at this point.

“EOS R8” is very unlikely in our opinion. Time will tell. All Canon rumors are listed here.
