A Canon EOS RC is coming in 2025
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Many people have great imaginations. Most entertaining! I wish I were in the market for a new camera!

I think this is a great analysis. Don't you think in practice the FX6 is more comparable to the C70, and especially the C80, as compared to the C400? As a C70 owner that's my take, and when considering my next camera it would be between an FX6 II (if it ever appears) and a C80.

Your point 1 to 3 is the reason I ditched Sony ZV-E10 and never consider the a6xxx & a7Cx line up.

Neuro,
Wait for something else... Indeed, I probably would. The rendering looks kind of small and unfeatured... But that's all It is a rendering.
So rumors and speculation aside, we'll see.

For people who want a small camera with EVF, what's wrong with the R10 or R8 ?

Rendering? If you mean the background picture for the article post, that’s a picture of the M6II not a rendering of anything.

I think my interest in a smaller camera would be as a backup in the event of camera failure for my main body 9 times out of 10. Since I do everything on a tripod, I'd be fine with/without a viewfinder. The key things I'd want in that body would be to use the same battery/cards as my main camera (an R5 mark ii), be very compact to minimize the penalty for bringing a backup, and reasonably priced. I suspect I wouldn't even use it except for in a pinch, or in family travel with a smaller lens setup. The R8 nearly fills that bill except for the battery - I don't want to carry a second set of batteries in case my main camera fails. If the R8 took an LP-e6 series, I'd be in.

OK!
Let me add one feature which has suddenly become important for me.
For the very first time, I had an SD card failure, fortunately with totally unimportant test-pictures. But now, even a backup camera must have 2 cards.
This is not the case with the R8, and I'm afraid a very compact FF could be missing a dual SD or SD/CF too. And will the battery also be an LP-E6?
I'd dislike, just like you, having 2 Canons with different batteries. Though, currently, I usually leave home for longer walks with 2 different systems. EOS and M (the real M, not the discontinued one) Yet, 2 Canons with 2 battery types? No!

Maybe not a lot smaller truthfully, but the LP-E6 only fits in those bodies and not the R8 because they have a larger grip. I'd take an R8 with a grip big enough for an LP-E6 but a reduction in size in height and width. With that said, it's not a major priority for me, and I solve this problem in a much less size-efficient way right now: using my old 5DIV as a backup instead. Not at all size conscious, but it does take the same battery style (kinda), and it is cheap (because I already own it). I just don't bring a backup when size really matters, which is not ideal, and I don't have a smaller travel camera (which is not a huge deal breaker for me).
Eventually I'll replace the R5ii with something else, and the R5ii will become the backup.

That's interesting timing on that note - I saw this article on Petapixel today noting that some SanDisk cards appear not to be fully compatible with the R5ii? Pretty sure I own some of the affected cards, so I'm happy to have a second slot in case that ends up being an issue. With that said, if I was using this hypothetical camera as exclusively a backup for my primary, I'd probably be ok with one slot, with the right price point. Another level of risk redundency is great, but I have to ask at what cost it becomes necessary. In this hypothetical scenario, I wouldn't even be using that camera unless I first had a failure in my other camera, which does have two slots as it is. If I have some failure in camera one, what are the odds that a card failure would also take camera two out of the equation at the same time? It just seems like overkill at that point.

Please be a mini-C80 in an R-ish sized body with a fan and I'd be overjoyed.
The current A/B combo of C400/C80 is great, but the addition of a mini C cam with the same sensor shooting the same formats and color profiles would be incredibly useful on so many levels. For example, being able to "step down" and use the C80 as your A cam and this camera as your B cam would be better for smaller crews and one-man operations. When shooting interviews this mini C cam would be your side angle, and when shooting B-Roll this camera would be the one mounted on your gimbal.

It didn't occur when using the R5 II, but with the 5 D IV.
Funnily, I found out today, right after having read your answer, that the card could be read using another laptop. So, not a card, but a computer slot issue.
And you are absolutely right speaking of an "overkill". You convinced me I could indeed rely on a single slot backup camera.

Probably doable if Canon wanted to. The A7CR takes the NP-FZ100 battery (52x39x23mm -- same battery that goes into their entire current lineup from the ZV-E10 and A6700 to the A1II and A9III) which is about the same volume and size as the LP-E6P battery (57x38x21mm).
If the EVF can really be dropped (I don’t think Canon will on any photo-centric camera), they can probably bring the size down to not much bigger than an FX3 (again, same NP-FZ100 battery).
