FroKnowsPhoto (aka Jared Polin) shares his opinion and view on what Canon and Nikon will feature on their long rumored full frame mirrorless cameras. And obviously: how will they compare to Sony’s technology and offering? And how will Sony counter?
We expect Canon to announce their full frame mirrorless camera within the next 8 to 12 months. For the latest about it see here.
Stay tuned.
In an interview with Japanese TV-channel NHK, a Nikon manager confirmed the company’s new mirrorless camera system will be on the market by spring 2019. And Canon?
Besides all the more or less reliable rumors floating around, you can bet Canon will be there when Nikon is. Both companies have entered the mirrorless market late, and didn’t so far really compete with the likes of Sony and Fuji. But Canon and Nikon’s upcoming full frame mirrorless camera may change it all.
Bot Nikon and Canon have the technology and engineering skills to build a mirrorless camera that could lead the industry. They just did not so far. Cannibalisation of their own products is often cited as the reason Nikon and Canon did not develop (so far) serious resources and knowledge to build a class leading mirrorless camera.
Take everything you hear about Canon’s full frame mirrorless camera with a huge grain of salt. This is likely the most abused Canon rumor ever.
We expect the announcement of Canon’s full frame mirrorless camera somewhen between September 2018 and May 2019.

Japanese business news site SankeiBiz reports that Nikon is working on a professional mirrorless camera with “rapid pace”. The announcement is expected before March 2019.
So what about Canon? Beside all the more or less reliable rumors, it appears that so far the most reliable intel came from Sony’s CEO, who months ago clearly said he believes that both Nikon and Canon are working on a full frame mirrorless camera. I guess the man knows what he is talking about.
Some rumor outlets are suggesting there may be a “development announcement” concerning a full frame mirrorless camera from Canon at Photokina 2018. We do not believe that (and got no hints for it). And we are not yet sure if Canon’s long rumored full frame mirrorless camera will be released to the general public in 2018 (Q1 2019 seems more likely).
Most likely Canon’s upcoming full frame mirrorless camera has already leaked through certification authorities. Still, we have no hints about the specifications, or the mount type.
Despite all the murmuring and rumor-recycling, we know very little about Canon’s full frame mirrorless camera. All tidbits we collected and were told in the past are listed here. Please note that none of the following has been confirmed to us so far:
At the end of the day, there is just one thing we can be sure about: Canon is set to announce a full frame mirrorless camera within a year. Here at CW we know since a while and reported it. All Canon full frame mirrorless rumors are listed here.
Canon EOS M50 at a glance:
Gordon Laing from CameraLabs posted a neat 9 minutes video where he compares the Canon EOS M50‘s video performance, 4K vs 1080p. You likely know that Canon crippled 4K video mode on the EOS M50 to go without the company’s amazing Dual Pixel AF technology. Never the less, it’s Canon’s first consumer camera featuring 4K video. So let’s see.
The Canon EOS M50 is indeed getting a lot of positive reviews, not just because of the interesting price ($779). More Canon EOS M50 coverage.

Tony & Chelsea Northrup discuss rumors and possibility of a Canon/Nikon full frame mirrorless camera.
Rumors indicate that Canon and Nikon are planning full-frame mirrorless cameras to compete with the Sony a9, a7R III, and a7 III. If you want to go mirrorless, should you wait for those announcements (hopefully in 2018!) or sell your camera and switch now? We can’t perfectly predict the future, but we’ll do our best to give you some idea of what to expect in 2018.
If you still have doubts that Canon may announced a full frame mirrorless camera, stay assured they will. Besides being the most abused Canon rumor of all times (think traffic), there have been more than enough hints that Canon (and Nikon, for that matter) will soon announce a full frame mirrorless camera. Even Sony’s CEO said that Canon will announce a FF mirrorless before Q1 2019. Still, I am sure we will see many more “breaking-news-kind” rumors seasoned with the same old stuff.

Yet another Canon full frame mirrorless camera rumor.
It’s suggested Canon is developing two prosumer grade, full frame mirrorless cameras. One more pro-oriented than the other. According to the rumor, Canon will first announce the pro-oriented mirrorless camera, then, after 6 or 8 months, the camera that’s supposed to be less feature rich.
The EF mount rumor is also back. It’s rumored Canon may have a “really nice solution for EF lenses on the full frame mirrorless body”, which does neither suggest it will or will not have an EF mount nor if an adapter is on Canon’s agenda.
All in all nothing new. Besides all the murmuring and rumor-recycling, we know very little about Canon’s full frame mirrorless camera. All tidbits we collected and were told in the past are listed here. Please note that none of the following has been confirmed to us so far:
