A post shared by CanonMirrorless (@canon_mirrorless) on

Canonrumors first confirmed our rumors about a new September 4-5 announcement. And now they shared these unconfirmed Full Frame Mirrorless info:

  • Name: Canon EOS R
  • RF Mount (New mount, possible EF compatibility?)
  • No reports of new “RF” lenses being announced alongside the body.
  • Similar ergonomics to the EOS M50
  • Slightly larger body than the EOS M50
  • Will compete with the Sony A7R III & Nikon Z6
  • 24mp or 28mp (Two different reports)
  • Announcement September 5, 2018

Double countdown teaser from Sony and Panasonic!

1) Panasonic just launched this Photokina page. What are they coming up with? 43rumors reports this might be for a new G90 camera with GH5s sensor…
2) Sony is teasing an announcement for tomorrow at 1pm CET time. Expect compact and action cameras only. No E-mount gear yet (which will be announced shortly before Photokina)

Canon is expected to announce “something mirrorless” on September 5. Fuji is also expected to announce a new X-T3 and GFX50R soon…

Nikon confirms that both Higher and Lower End cameras are on roadmap

Nikon managers released various interview in Japan (Mynavi and DCwatch). And Nikon’s goal is clear: They want to expand the line up in both direction…higher and lower end models. The big question is if the lower end model will feature an APS-C sensor. I would prefer lower end models to still have an FF sensor. Otherwise Nikon would have to launch a new APS-C lens line too and it would mean another 2-3 before we get enough lenses.

Of course expect higher end models to have the dual slot card just liek this model:

First rumored Canon Full Frame mirrorless specs

First: It’s confirmed that on September 4-5 Canon will announce something “mirrorless”. But it’s unclear yet if they will announce a new lens for the current EOS-M cameras or if they will also disclose some info about the future Full Frame mirrorless.

And today we can share first rumored Canon Full Frame mirrorless specs we got via Canonwatch:

  • 28MP full frame sensor
  • Dual Pixel Auto Focus
  • IBIS (In Body Image Stabilisation)
  • 10fps shooting
  • 4k@30fps
  • 1080p@60fps
  • Priced $1,900

It may be that Canon will announce some kind of FF mirrorless development only at Photokina just like Nikon did months ago. Maybe Canon will take some time to evaluate the Nikon Z impact on the public and try to not repeat some of the Nikon’s mistake (like poor AF performance and crippled FPS rate).

Zeiss is seriously teasing a new camera launch!

In the midst of the Nikon news storm Zeiss keeps teasing the launch of a new camera. SAR reports:

– Announcement before Photokina
– This is a fixed lens Full Frame camera
– It uses Sony tech (probably RX1II based).
– Price around $3,000
– Priobably has a prime lens (35mm f/2.0?)
– Slightly bigger lens construction than you get on the Sony RX1 series.
– lens is autofocus

I would love if this would feature some sort of new curved sensor!
