A Canon equivalent of the Nikon Z 50 has looked very unlikely, and a body that’s even cheaper than the would seem to rule it out completely. Canon has proven that it is intent on continuing with EOS-M when it comes to APS-C, so EF-S glass might be about to become very cheap. A nifty fifty and a pancake could already be on their way to sit alongside the RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS. If you were to make a version that's even cheaper, where would you compromise?Īn entry-level, consumer camera that grabs those buying their first camera and pulls photographers into the Canon ecosystem does make sense as the Japanese manufacturer will want to sell a lot of lenses, especially when non-pro options start to appear in earnest.

Sensors are becoming cheaper and cheaper, but what would you drop from the RP to keep costs down? The EVF, potentially?

The first is an entry-level Rebel equivalent that is thought may sell for even less than the EOS RP, which is already remarkably cheap for a full-frame camera and is currently available for less than a thousand dollars. The other two slated bodies are a little more intriguing. With all of the furore surrounding the first batch of mirrorless cameras from Nikon and Canon, you have to wonder if Canon will go with three or four card slots just to be on the safe side. The rear LCD will be larger than that found on the EOS R and, most importantly, will feature two card slots. Hardcore fans are working furiously on the maths of existing sensors to figure out what resolution it will be, with 75 megapixels apparently the most likely. Dubbed the EOS Rs by the rumor sites, it’s thought that this will emerge ahead of Japan’s CP+ show in February, or failing that, in May.

What’s almost certain, however, is a mirrorless equivalent of the 5DS and 5DS R - a high-resolution body that’s at least on a par with the 61-megapixel Sony a7R IV. One flaps, one doesn't.It’s long been expected that an RF mount version of that 1D X will take much longer to come market, being slightly more of a niche tool, and with so many agencies heavily invested in EF glass, it will be a good few years before Canon decides to make a mirrorless action-shooter to rival Sony’s a9 cameras.
