Canon Mirrorless Related Announcement on September 4/5, 2018?

We have been told (thanks) that Canon may stage a mirrorless-related announcement on September 4 or 5, 2018. This is partially in contrast with a previous rumor which stated that a major Canon announcement would happen in the second week of September 2018. Partially, because there might be different interpretations on what “second week” means, and some hints unfortunately get lost in translation.

음..9 월 4 일이나 9 월안에새로운캐논미러리스바디가발표될것이라네요..크롭미러리스바디일수도있지만 니콘풀프미러리스바디때문에 아마도 캐논풀프미러리스바디도발표될듯하네요..

At the time being we do not know if the announcement is about the replacement for the Canon EOS M5 (rumored to be the EOS M5 Mark II), or if it is about the so much emotionally anticipated Canon full frame mirrorless camera (all rumors).

As most of you likely know, Nikon has already stated very officially (and loud) that they will announce something evolutionary, and clearly based on a full frame mirrorless design. So, it’s just straight forward to expect the market leader, that’s Canon, to follow soon.

What do we know? Canon will announce new gear ahead of Photokina 2018, that’s sure. On top of the probability ranking you’ll find the EOS M5 Mark II, a 32-35mm f/1.4 or f/1.8 lens for the EOS M system, the Canon full frame mirrorless camera (at least one), and maybe some more gear (lenses?). Please note: at the time being it’s not sure if we will see Canon’s full frame mirrorless camera in 2018 or in Q1 2019.

We didn’t get any new intel about the EOS 90D/EOS 80D Mark II or the EOS 7D Mark III. An announcement in 2018 is still in the realm of possibilities but appears to become more unlikely as time goes by.

What to say? Stay tuned, because the next weeks will tell.

More Mentions of a Canon Mirrorless Announcement Ahead of Photokina [CR1]

There are some conflicting reports out there about Canon’s announcement plans ahead of Photokina. We were told back in July that we’d be seeing some announcements the first week of September, and there have also been reports of announcements the second week of the month as well. It’s possible two rounds of announcements are coming.

We’ve been told by a few sources around the globe that Canon subsidiaries have training planned for select employees before Photokina, which begins September 26, 2018. Training sessions are usually held for new cameras and not lenses.

Two of the sources seem to be assuming that a new Canon mirrorless is going to be announced ahead of the trade show.

We still don’t have much confidence that this will be the case.

We have confirmed the following announcements ahead of Photokina, and we’re waiting to hear if anything else is planned.

Canon EF-M 32mm f/1.4 STM
Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS III (CR2 on this)
A Second “big white lens”
A new video camera body

As for mirrorless, we’re told by those we trust that there is nothing coming camera wise before Photokina, not even an EOS M5 Mark II.

It’s possible that Canon is handling the announcement of new mirrorless cameras differently this time, and that’ll be getting a development announcement for the trade show.

For now, I think all the mirrorless hype will be monopolized by Nikon and I don’t expect to hear too much in our immediate future about Canon’s mirrorless plans, but we hope that changes.
