Canon hosting online virtual press conference on April 20th to announce new camera gear

by Leave a Comment

Given that The Photography Show didn’t happen, NAB and Photokina aren’t happening, and many governments around the world are telling us that we could potentially be in lockdown for more than six months, IBC, PPE and the rescheduled TPS might not happen, either. But Canon is pressing on with their gear announcements regardless.

Canon has announced that they’re hosting a virtual press conference on April 20th to announce some new gear. NAB was scheduled to begin on April 19th and go on until April 22nd, so April 20th falls in line with what was likely their original announcement schedule. I wouldn’t get your hopes up about the EOS R5, though.

Canon confirms the EOS R5 is essentially a mirrorless 5D equivalent

by 2 Comments

Techradar recently had a chat with Canon Product Marketing Specialist, David Parry about the new upcoming Canon EOS R5. While there haven’t been any new specs or details released about the camera, he did confirm that while the EOS R5 isn’t a 5D Mark IV replacement, it does target the same market and customers who might have otherwise bought a 5D series DSLR.

It’s an interesting interview, as is often the case with David, which covers a number of topics about the new EOS R5 camera. As usual, while David is happy to expand on the topics he is allowed to talk about, he remained tight-lipped when it came to letting out any new information on the capabilities of the camera itself.

EOS R5 avoids the cripple hammer? Canon confirms no-crop 8K video recorded internally

by 1 Comment

It seems almost inevitable that when Canon announces a new camera, it’ll get a quick whack from the cripple hammer, at least when it comes to video. Canon is pretty notorious for teasing some pretty amazing video claims, but then when the final product comes out and the specs are confirmed, many are left disappointed.

The biggest issue many video shoots have with Canon these days is the often severe crop that many of the cameras see when shooting their highest resolution video. It was a concern for the upcoming Canon EOS R5‘s boast of 8K video, too. But now Canon has confirmed that the EOS R5 will indeed shoot full-frame, cropless, 8K video.

Canon has abandoned the touchbar on the upcoming EOS R5

by 12 Comments

The controversial M-Fn touchbar which was introduced with Canon’s EOS R mirrorless camera is notably absent from the upcoming EOS R5, new images show. Japanese website DC Watch has posted several images of the new camera, including some from the rear, showing that the touch bar found on the EOS R is nowhere to be found.

Instead, it has been replaced by the familiar AF-ON button and a joystick for your thumb. This will be good news to critics of the M-Fn touchbar, who weren’t keen on it in the EOS R. But it’s not the only change from the EOS R. The back has ha a complete redesign. When you see the two side by side, the differences become quite apparent.

Canon confirms the EOS R5 will have IBIS and shoot 8K video

by 2 Comments

Canon has teased some real info about the rumoured EOS R5 full-frame RF mount mirrorless camera, and it looks like it’s going to be a bit of a beast.  First of all, it’s real, and it will definitely be called the EOS R5.

Aimed squarely at professionals, and looking to take sales from Sony’s A7R IV, the two big features of the EOS R5 are that it will be able to shoot 8K video and will be Canon’s first camera to utilise in-body image stabilisation.

by 11 Comments

Hot on the heels of Canon EOS R5 rumours, it seems Canon may be getting ready to announce an EOS R6, too. A lower resolution camera, possibly as a mirrorless followup to the Canon EOS 6D Mark II, this camera is expected to be around 20-megapixels, and offer 4K video at 60 frames per second.

There aren’t really many specs just yet, even rumoured ones, but with Canon rumoured to be releasing four new full-frame cameras in 2020, and three of them being mirrorless, it adds up.
