Just two days after Nikon announced the Nikon Z 30, we already have a rumor suggesting Canon will release a similar camera. Isn’t that like magic?

Latest murmuring has it that Canon might release a mirrorless camera similar to the Nikon Z 30 and aimed at vloggers. This camera might be the R100 we reported time ago.

If the rumor is real, this camera m ight well be announced along with the upcoming Canon RF 24mm f/1.8 IS Macro and RF 15-30mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lenses.

Stay tuned.

Canon might be set to release the RF 135mm f/1.8L USM at the end of 2022. The lens was already rumored a lot on 5channel and there is also a patent for it. The source of the rumor is rather confident about its reliability.

Unlikely Rumor: RF 70-300mm f/2-4L IS And RF-S 33mm f/1L Lenses To Come

A new rumor surfaced, suggesting Canon might announce two lenses: an RF 70-300mm f/2-4L IS And RF-S 33mm f/1L.

We do not think the rumor is reliable. f/2-4 and f/1 (for APS-C sensors) sound very unlikely to us. The source claims:

  • Canon RF-S 33mm f/1L USM lens
  • Canon RF 70-300mm f/2-4L IS USM: 1.6kg zoom lens that still has a large aperture of f/2.4 at 150mm. The image quality at 300mm should be equal to or even better than the already discontinued Canon EF 300mm f / 4L IS USM lens.

According to the source, the RF-S 33mm lens is supported by an already spotted Canon patent application. We do not think this means anything.

Stay tuned…
