These Are The Canon Cameras We Can Expect To Get Released In 2021

Eos R Canon Cameras

2021 has just started, we all hope it will be better than 2020. And some might also be curious to learn what Canon cameras might get released in 2021. A curated list of the top 2020 rumors has been compiled for your rumors fun and speculations.

An EOS R camera with an APS-C sensor

While we are still having a hard time to buy it, the long running rumor of an EOS R model still surfaces every now and then. Indeed, this rumor started the week after the EOS R was released. Such a possibility was denied by a Canon exec in an interview back in 2018. Everything is possible but for the time being we are not sold on this rumor nor on the imminent dead of the EOS M system. Time will tell and we will see if the rumor gets moved to the next upcoming year as it happened so far. In other words: we do not think this camera will get released in 2021.

High-resolution RF body

Another long running rumor, but one that definitely is going to happen soon. We were first to leak it and there is also a related patent. Moreover, it was later confirmed by a Canon exec. So far this camera is rumored to have a 90MP imaging sensor that can go up to 300MP with pixel shift. The high resolution EOS R was dubbed EOS R5s by the rumor mills community.

Two entry level EOS R bodies

These camera will replace the EOS R and the EOS RP. No specifications have leaked so far but is seems safe to assume that they will both be placed below the EOS R6, with one of them to sell at less than the EOS RP, as another Canon exec suggested. Rumored price tage are $899 and $1499, respectively. Not sure if both will be seen in 2021. Take it with a grain of salt.

An EOS-1D X tier EOS R body

Another rumor with a high chance to become reality in 2021. Canon will release a flagship EOS R camera that is on EOS-1D X level. This too was already confirmed by a Canon exec. The camera was dubbed EOS R1 by the rumor outlets name giving squads.

Canon EOS C50 and EOS C90

Two new Canon Cinema cameras with RF mount. The EOS C50 might come in the first half of 2021, the other one’s release is yet unknown. Canon already released a Cinema camera with RF mount, the EOS C70, and it’s safe more will follow.

A Canon 8K video camera

Already teased many times, this one might definitely get announced in 2021.

So, while these is nothing new we hope you appreciate the sum up of what Canon cameras might come in 2021. Be aware that both the global pandemic and a recent fire at a supply factory might delay some of the announcements. Let us know what you think about this rich and large (and possible) Canon release schedule

Will Canon Give Up The EOS M Lineup After 2021?

Canon EOS M50 Mark II

Bad news for those who like the EOS M system, myself included. A new rumor suggests Canon might not continue the EOS M lineup after 2021.

The EOS M mirrorless system has already been declared dead many times. Now it seems it might eventually happen. According to the rumor, Canon will end the EOS M lineup in favour of two upcoming RF mount cameras with a APS-C sensor (so far only one EOS R with APS-C was rumored).

It’s also rumored that Canon might not release dedicated RF-S lenses (i.e. lenses for the RF mount but only for APS-C sensors). Instead, future lens design will “fill the void of no dedicated APS-C lenses”. Whatever that means. Guess it means that they are designed to work well for both APS-C and FF EOS R cameras. Sort of compromise? The upcoming RF 18-45mm IS STM might be the walk-around lens for an EOS R camera with APS-C sensor.

There will be EOS M cameras on market after 2021, and the EOS M50 Mark II won’t be the last EOS M camera. Stay tuned.

A New Canon Speedlite Might Be On Its Way (the Canon Speedlite EL-10)

Canon Speedlite El-10

Back In October 2020 Canon announced a new flagship Speedlite, the Canon Speedlite EL-1.

The flagship Speedlite has a flagship price. Good that a new rumor has it that Canon might soon release a more affordable yet new Speedlite flash: the Canon Speedlite EL-10.

The Canon Speedlite El-10 should be announced sometime in 2021, our bet is Q1 or Q2. No specifications so far, expect that it might be possible to use it with rechargeable batteries.

A Speedlite flash between the EL-1 ($1,099 )and EL-100 (currently discounted to $99) would make a lot of sense. Expect this rumor to become reality.

Stay tuned.

Canon EOS R7 With APS-C Sensor Undergoing Field Testing?

Eos R Canon Cameras

Here is a new rumor about the Canon EOS R camera said to have an APS-C sensor and dubbed EOS R7 by the community.

While we are still a bit skeptical about an EOS R with APS-C sensor, the general consensus is that there will indeed be one. Since the very inception of the EOS R this rumor began to make its rounds. Latest has it that the Canon EOS R7 (not an official moniker) is already undergoing testing in the field by a select group of photographers. According to the rumor, the camera looks almost the same as the EOS R6. Specifications are expected to be similar too. Announcement is rumored to happen sometime in 2021.

Is this really going to happen? It seems to be assessed that Canon will not release a replacement for the EOS 7D Mark II, at least not a DSLR. So, an RF mount camera with APS-C sensor will continue the heritage of the EOS 7D series? It’s possible, sure. Still I can’t get rid of some doubts about that. And what does it mean for the EOS M system?

In the past Canon was asked about the possibility of an EOS R camera with APS-C sensor. They neither confirmed nor denied it.

What do you think?

Canon’s High Resolution EOS R5s Might Have 90MP, And With Pixel Shift More Than 300MP

High Resolution Eos R

Some bits of information about the long rumored high resolution EOS R5s (moniker from the community not official)

Canon Rumors reports some high resolution EOS R5s specifications:

– Approxamently 90mp sensor

– “Pixel-shift like feature” to add resolution. Total resolution “north of 300mp”.

– Nearly identical body design as the Canon EOS R5.

– Video features are “NOT a focus” of the Canon EOS R5s.

– Image stabilization will be a “slightly different version” than the current RF mount cameras.

– Pricing will be “similar” to the Canon EOS R5.

– Announcement scheduled for Q1 of 2021

The interesting piece in the list above is the “pixel-shift like feature” which is able to raise the resolution to more than 300MP. This feature might be similar to what is featured on the Fujifulm GFX 100.

Canon Cinema EOS C200 Mark II Might Be Close To Release (April 2021)

Cinema EOS C200

Canon might soon release the Canon Cinema EOS C200 Mark II. April 2021 is the suggested date.

Canon Rumors reports that the Canon Cinema EOS C200 Mark II has these specifications:

  • Same sensor as the Cinema EOS C300 Mark III
  • RAW Recording
  • 4:2:2 10-bit
  • 4K 60P
  • 2K 120P
  • More a unibody design than the modular design of the C300 Mark III

NAB 2021 happens in April 2021, so it seems a good date to release the replacement for the Canon EOS C200.
