The most interesting Canon rumor is about a new full frame mirrorless camera:
- The goal is to announce a full frame mirrorless camera for Photokina 2018 which takes place in September of that year.
- EF mount will be native
- New exclusive image sensor for the camera.
- New sensor technology required for the EF mount in a mirrorless application
- There will be no new “dedicated” lenses, but mirrorless will be “considered in all future EF lens design”
- 4K video is considered a necessary feature in all full frame cameras going forward
- One full frame mirrorless camera body to start
- There is testing at Canon of a more hybrid approach between DSLRs and Mirrorless cameras. What that looks like we don’t know. (source)
Canon is also rumored to be working on a new EF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM lens.
Canon recently discontinued three EF lenses – this could indicate a possible replacement:
- Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM
- Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
- Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DO IS USM
The Canon classic camera design concept pictured above is by David Riesenberg.
