Canon EOS R

Three Canon RF mount cameras rumoured for 2022 including EOS R/RP replacements and one APS-C

Rumours about new Canon cameras seem to have been fairly quiet since the Canon EOS R3 was announced. At least, they’ve been very quiet when it comes to anything specific, but a new post on Canon Rumors suggests that we can expect three new EOS R system cameras to come in the latter half of 2022. Unfortunately, perhaps, none of them seems to be the anticipated EOS R1 flagship model.

According to CR, one of the cameras will be an APS-C RF mount camera, one will be a new entry-level full-frame body that uses the same sensor as the Canon EOS R6 and the third will sit somewhere between that new entry-level camera and the EOS R6 but will contain a new sensor. The most likely scenario is “Mark II” updates to the original Canon EOS R and EOS RP cameras.

The balance of the camera and why it matters

While the broad strokes of what is wanted on a camera usually revolve around the imaging fundamentals (resolution, ISO performance, AF, etc), there are some functions of camera design which have significant impact on creating that often can be overlooked. The aspect that I want to discuss today is that of balance.

By balance, I am talking about how the chassis works together with the lens in a way that makes creating more fluid to the photographer. To be honest, this was an issue that hadn’t been on my mind all that much over the years, as I mostly shot camera bodies that had a built in vertical grip or were medium format and therefore larger. However, with the emerging dominance of mirrorless bodies, size and weight have come under so much scrutiny, and that has been at a cost of balance.

Comparing the Canon EOS R, EOS RP, EOS R5 and EOS R6 head-to-head for portraits

Canon’s full-frame lineup has proven to be very popular ever since it was initially introduced. So far, they’ve released four full-frame mirrorless bodies with the RF mount, but how do they all stack up against each other? Are the new EOS R5 and EOS R6 really that much better than the earlier bodies?

In this video, Irene Rudnyk puts the Canon EOS RP ($999), EOS R ($1,799), EOS R6 ($2,499) and EOS R5 ($3,899) up against each other to see how well they handle when shooting portraits.  As well as seeing how well it renders colours and AF performance and accuracy, Irene also looks at the technical specs and benefits each camera has over the other.

Kolari Vision’s new clip-in filters for the EOS R5 & R6 live between your lens and sensor

Kolari Vision has announced a new set of clip-in magnetic filters for the Canon EOS R5. They mount inside the camera body in front of the sensor but behind the lens. It’s compatible with native RF mount lenses or when using the EF to RF adapter. Kolari initially announced the clip-in filter system for the EOS R system last September.

Now, though, it’s finally here. There are two types of filters available. One fits the EOS R, R5 and R6. The other is for the EOS RP. Both are available in various flavours, designed to work with cameras converted to full-spectrum (seeing both IR and UV, as well as visible light). The filters allow you to cut the range back down to see just the wavelengths you want.

Canon reported to bring autofocus tilt-shift lenses to RF mount this year

If there’s one thing that’s been distinctly lacking from mirrorless cameras – of all brands – it’s tilt-shift lenses. Sure, they’re not exactly mainstream and pretty much all of Nikon and Canon’s tilt-shift lenses for F and EF mounts can be used on mirrorless cameras with adapters, so it’s understandable that they’ve been on the backburner.

But now, it appears that Canon is leading the charge by introducing not one but two tilt-shift lenses with autofocus into the Canon RF mount mirrorless system, according to a report on Canon Rumors. And they’re expected to be announced this year.

A new patent suggests Canon’s eye-controlled focus may be coming back

For those who hear about the fact that Canon used to have 35mm SLRs with eye-controlled AF, but have never had the opportunity to try it themselves, it’s an intriguing proposition. Look at something, and the camera just focuses on it. Sounds great, right? Well, for those that have actually used it, the response is very mixed. My dad had it on his EOS 5. He loved it. I tried it and I hated it.

The theory’s great, but the implementation wasn’t. Canon seemed to abandon the idea, but now a new patent suggests that they might be looking to reintroduce the concept into future EOS R mirrorless cameras at some point.

Rumoured Canon EOS R roadmap suggests at least seven new cameras on the way

It sounds like Canon is getting a lot more serious about the RF mount now. With recently announcing an RF mount cinema camera, and the mostly positive response the EOS R5 and EOS R6 have received (from people who’ve actually bought them), it’s not surprising. But a post from Canon Rumors suggests that there are at least seven more bodies on the roadmap.

CR does say that these rumours come from multiple known and anonymous sources, and they’ve collated this all together into a single list. If true, or even if most of it is true, then it looks like Canon may be about to ditch both EF and EOS M mount systems.

Nokishita’s at it again, stealing the thunder of camera gear manufacturers. This time, it’s Canon’s upcoming RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM lens, expected to be announced very soon now. And while there isn’t a full specs leak just yet, (although, the most important specs are all in the name), we do now know what it looks like.

Kolari Vision releases new drop-in filters for Canon EF to RF adapter and they’re available now

While Kolari Vision might not have been the first company to announce the release of drop-in filters for the Canon EF to RF drop-in filter adapter, they are the first to bring them to market. Kolari Vision has now announced the release and immediate availability of a range of filters designed specifically for the Canon EF to RF drop-in filter adapter. All the filters are similarly sized which is a nice storage feature, although the glass part will vary in size.

Breakthrough filters announced their filters for the Canon EF to RF drop-in filter adapter a couple of weeks ago, but they don’t ship until later this month. Kolari Vision, on the other hand, has some of their new range of drop-in filters shipping already. And they have aluminium frames, not plastic, for maximum durability.

Canon EOS “R5s” rumoured to be in the hands of testers (again)

It’s been a while since we heard anything about the “ultra high resolution” Canon RF mount mirrorless camera. It’s set to be the followup to the 50-megapixel 5DS and 5DSR DSLRs and was first rumoured way back in November 2018 with an expected 2019 release date. 2019 came and went with just a single mention and no new camera.

In March of this year, the EOS 5DS and 5DSR seemed to cease production, followed by word that a high-resolution RF mount camera was being tested. But again, silence ever since. Now rumours are resurfacing that the camera (which Canon Rumors has dubbed the “R5s”) is out in the wild and being tested again.
