CP+ released the list of 20 companies that have registered so far to be part of the 2021 CP+ online show. Canon is one of the companies that will attend this important event and it is expected that the company will reveal some plans for its higher-end full frame mirrorless cameras. It is reported that the CP+ 2021 imaging equipment exhibition in Japan will be held online from February 25 to February 28, 2021.
According to the recent reports, Canon is likely to announce the development of several new EOS R series mirrorless cameras including Canon EOS R1, Canon EOS R5S and Canon EOS R7 along with 15 full-frame RF mount mirrorless lenses. As you know there is a big impact on the camera industry when the Sony A1 announced. For imaging professionals, “the one” is the one camera that can do it all. What will be Canon’s answer and will there be a ESO R1 for real so soon. Actually we do expect a EOS R5s which will pixel shift the EOS R5 sensor and provide 90MP stills at the CP+ 2021 but maybe Canon could wait for a while and look for the tension in Sony A1 sales.
Anyway here is a roundup of Canon EOS R1, Canon EOS R5S and Canon EOS R7 cameras as well as Canon RF lenses.
