Nokishita updated their Canon database info and it now lists a new 26 Megapixel EOS-R camera with the code “K424”. This camera might be announced on February 14 but this isn’t yet a 100% confirmed info.

UPDATE: CanonWatch debunked that rumor. Seems like there is no other 26M Eos-R camera coming. So far only a new EOS-RP will be launched…

Canon released the full year financial results. The on thing that matters is this: Canon has decided to “Accelerate development of new mirrorless products“. And from what our sources told us the next Canon mirrorless announcement will happen on February 14! Stay tuned!
