Specifications for Unnamed EOS R APS-C Camera Body
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Give it an optional attachable hotshoe EVF - like M6m2.
Then I can buy and use it in situations where l need it.
And you can leave it away.

I'm kind of thinking that I'd want something that improves on the R7 in terms of maintaining pixel density and getting even better high ISO results. I realize that there are just physical limitations to how far you can go with that, but a little improvement in that area would be a positive thing.
Seems, though, like higher pixel density isn't in the cards. Oh well...

Yes, though they changed the name of the camera series. On the other hand it was still the flagship. I know what you mean.

Yes, but the R8 never was the official successor of the RP. Thought it makes sense, that they made the R8 after the RP became older, of course.The R8 has fewer MP than the RP, but it does resolve more detail

Well, yes it's true that 8K UHD (technically "UHDTV2") is 7680 × 4320 which is 33177600 or "33 MP", but an "8K" hybrid camera sensor would still have to be 45 MP to support 8K DCI video combined with a 3:2 aspect ratio for photography.

As much as some believe that the R8 is the successor to the RP, Canon Japan still hasn't discontinued the RP (https://personal.canon.jp/product/camera/eos/old-products) so they still believe that it is a separate line and has been for a number of years. Besides the initial RP price, it has been substantially cheaper than the R8 for a long time now indicating a different market segment.The R8 has fewer MP than the RP, but it does resolve more detail
In the R mount space, Canon has formally discontinued the R/Ra/R6.

As far as I know, Sony doesn't support 8K DCI for their hybrid cameras and there hasn't been any complaints that I have seen. Nor any complaints that they don't support raw recording without codecs.
Imagine that the R5 came out originally with only raw light codecs and no DCI leading to less overheating. Having 8K in any hybrid was simply not enough for the fanbois. Even now, overheating is a common issue and reviewers are more about how long before overheating vs no overheating at all. Cook the internal chips if needed!

"We hold out hope that Canon will bring a baby EOS R1 to the lineup for photographers."
do you mean like the R6 to R3 or the 7D to 1DX or ?

That's a very big if. I think it makes more sense to think of the 1Dx as the FF successor to the 1D4 because the Nikon D3 had made APS-H professional cameras obsolete. There was no successor to the 1Ds3 because the
Nikon discovered the same issue with the D3X. It was replaced after 4 years by the D800: 50% more pixels, a less rugged body and a 60% price reduction.

All of those specs look like a mini-C80/C400 except for the ASP-C sensor and sub $1,500 price tag.

This probably the first of a new wave / batch of APS-C cameras. I’m sure a R7II is coming some time this year after the R6iii drops.

Based on the fact that Canon have practically said they would this year. Do you not read and digest the rumours here?
