A rumor claiming that a Canon EOS R model with 26MP is in Canon’s pipeline is making its rounds on the web.

The rumor builds on a post by Nokishita dated March 2018, where a list of unreleased Canon gear is published (see image below).

UPDATE: we posted the wrong model number. There is indeed a unreleased 26MP full frame mirrorless camera.

  • Mirrorless camera
  • Full size [full frame, editor’s note]
  • Wi-Fi · Bluetooth installed
  • Maximum image size of test machine: 6240 × 4160 [makes up to 26MP, editor’s note]
  • Probably will be released within 1 year data as 5D Mark IV [K349], the image size may be a dummy possibility)

While there might be a 26MP EOS R model on Canon’s agenda, so far nothing ever leaked about such a camera nor have there been any reliable hints in this direction. For the time being, this is a wishmor (wishful rumor),

Stay tuned, February 14 is the day Canon will most likely announce their next full frame mirrorless camera.

A Third Canon EOS R Model Coming In 2019? [CW 1]

Shortly before the expected announcement of a new Canon EOS R model, a new rumors emerges from the web.

Latest has it that Canon might announce a third Canon EOS R model in 2019. So far we are reasonably sure only about one model, which we expect to be announced on February 14. It will most likely be named EOS RP.

However, Canon Rumors seems to rather confident that there might be a third Canon EOS R model on Canon’s 2019 agenda:

  • The camera is in “final” development, but production has not started.
  • Dual card slots are present in the body, one being SD, the other being something else.
  • The touch bar is gone, replaced by a familiar joystick.

This is the first time we here about a third EOS R model. It’s possible, but we think it’s highly unlikely. It also puzzles us that the only specifications so far are related to two of the strongest criticism the EOS R had to face: no dual card slot and the touch bar.

During CES 2019, Engadget interviewed Canon Senior Technical Specialist Drew MacCallum and Nikon Senior Technical Manager Steve Heiner about the Canon EOS R and Nikon Z 6/Z 7 full frame mirrorless cameras and possible future developments in the photography industry, the role of mirrorless technology, and more stuff. Interesting interview/discussion.

The Canon EOS RP Might Be An Entry Level DSLR And Not A Mirrorless Camera

According to Nokishita, the recently surfaced moniker Canon EOS RP might not belong to a new full frame mirrorless model in the EOS R line-up but instead to an entry level DSLR.

The machine translated text below seems to suggested this.

That said, consider that a lot may get lost in translation. The underlined text above could also mean that the two unreleased Canon cameras leaked through wireless certification authorities are the EOS RP and an entry level DSLR, though that seems less likely.

We expect a Canon mirrorless announcement on February 14. Stay tuned, we will soon know more.

Nokishita posted an updated list of unreleased Canon gear that has been registered at wireless certification authorities.

As you can see in the list below, there are two cameras that will either be a DSLR or a full frame mirrorless camera (RF mount). The last item the list below (PC 2366) appears to be the already leaked PowerShot G7 X Mark III.

DS 126751 and Ds 126761 have different SKUs, which might mean these models will come in different color variations. Since DS 126751 is made in Japan (Oita plant), we think it is either a new EOS R model or a higher end DSLR (EOS 7D Mark III?). We expect Canon to make a major mirrorless related announcement on February, 14. It may well be about a new full frame mirrorless camera.
