Canon EOS R5 And EOS R6 Production Might Be Delayed Because Of Coronavirus

Coronavirus Eos R5
View Post

A somewhat different Canon rumor surfaced, and it’s about the Coronavirus.

The production of the Canon EOS R5 and EOS R6 is reduced because both are “running at less than 1/4 of Canon’s manufacturing capacity due to supply chain issues from the Coronavirus“. Please note: this is a rumor, not an official report.

The same source also states that Canon is currently deciding if start to deliver the EOS R5 and EOS R6 as planned and with limited quantity available, or to wait until October 2020 to be able to satisfy the demand without shortcuts.

So far there are no official confirmation or else form Canon.

Another Yet Unreleased Canon Camera Shows Up At Certification Authority

Nokishita spotted another unreleased Canon camera as it shows up at a wireless certification authority.

The newly spotted Canon camera has the denomination DS126838, and uses the same battery as the previously spotted camera.

We think this might be either the upcoming Canon EOS R5 or, maybe more likely, the also upcoming Canon EOS R6.

Please note that the data sheet below mentions a 600EX-RX Speedlite. Is this just a typo (600EX-RT would be correct) or is Canon set to release a new flash?

Neither a rumor nor a surprise.

Both the Canon EOS 5Ds and EOS 5Ds R are out of production since a while. Both models will be replaced by a mirrorless offering.

We just got a rumor about the possible resolution of the upcoming high resolution EOS R model. And we expect Canon to release at least one high megapixel EOS R body in 2020.

Both the EOS 5Ds and EOS 5Ds R are currently sold for a bargain on eBay.

We are all sitting tight for the release of the Canon EOS R5, Canon’s next industry game changer.

Canon Rumor: EOS R Model With 150MP Sensor On Its Way? (really?)

Canon Rumor
View Post

We were reluctant to publish this Canon rumor, which we already got some weeks ago. But now we heard it from another source too.

Might this be realistic? A Canon EOS R model with a 150MP image sensor? That’s what we have been told. Never the less, we are not sure what to think about this rumor.

Before the Canon EOS R5 development announcement we would have dismissed this rumor it without any second thought. But seeing how feature packed the EOS R5 is, and seeing how clearly Canon is set to shake up the industry, we are no longer sure this rumor has to be considered bs. Don’t get us wrong: we still think it’s unlikely Canon will release a 150MP EOS R model, but we can’t exclude it.

For sure Canon has the know-how and the facilities to build such a sensor. But is the market ready for such a resolution beast? So far the highest rumored resolution for the high megapixel EOS R was 80MP. Now we are talking a resolution that’s almost 2 times as high. All rumors about the high resolution EOS R are listed here.

So, help us out on this. Do you think this a 150MP EOS R body has any chance to be real? More Canon rumor stuff is listed here. The next EOS R model to be released is the Canon EOS R5, expected to hit the shelves before the Summer Olympics.

Which One Is The Best Entry-Level Mirrorless Camera? (Canon EOS M50 vs Fuji X-T200 vs Sony a6100)

The best entry-level mirrorless camera. Hot question, isn’t it?

DPReview‘s Chris and Jordan compare the Fujifilm X-T200, the Sony a6100 and the Canon EOS M50. And the question is: which one is right for you? While we are (obviously) rooting for the EOS M50, the Fujifilm X-T200 might…well…be interesting too.
