Our friends at SmallRig know releases are coming for Sony, Canon, and Panasonic very soon. Of course, they would be privy to details well before others because they must design the rigs for the various new cameras.
This is a difficult article to write. Craig had to take an indefinite leave of absence from all things and is now uncontactable. This has forced management to display that annoying popup message that we now see 20 times a day.
As we sit and wait during this most annoying launch cycle, the anonymous grapevine has continued to send information. This isn't unusual, it's part of the game. It has proven to be a invaluable resource over the years/decade.
In this patent application (2024-061921), Canon is showing off some curious embodiments for some prime lenses. These are full-image circle primes with no image stretching so understandably they would be targetted as higher-end primes.

For whatever reason, we don't follow Canon USA on Twitter (never X). However, yesterday they launched their first teaser for an upcoming announcement. It's an odd one, but a teaser nonetheless.
We'll beat the dead horse again by saying this launch cycle is unlike anything that we have seen before. We don't really have any historical reference on how Canon is doing things this go around, and it's most likely due to massive leaks with major products in the past.
On April 26, 2024 Canon registered another unreleased camera with the code name DS126904. While the EOS R5 Mark II and EOS R1 are going to make their way into the public domain soon, what is that 3rd EOS R camera? We don't know.
Canon has registered another camera to the CMIIT (Chinese Ministry of Industry and Identification). The model is identified as DS126904. It's being reported that it's WiFi 5 and Bluetooth which would tend to make this a lower end model.
The Canon USA store seems to have some EOS R3 camera bodies to move, you can grab one now for $3499! I don't think these will last long. As always, all refurbished gear from the Canon USA stores comes with a full 1-year Canon USA warranty.
Today, Canon released their financials for the first quarter of 2024. Overall the company's sales increased for the year, but operating profit was down. Personally I think the first 3 months of the calendar year are always tough to predict because a lot of it depends on what was left over from Christmas.
The last day or two we have seen a flurry of information for all things RF mount lenses, which also includes the addition of both SIGMA and Tamron to the fray. Simon from The Ordinary Filmmaker is the source for a lot of this information.
SIGMA has announces which lenses will be coming to the RF mount in 2024 and the first one will hit the market in July of this year. The cavaet? Just like the initial launch of Z mount lenses for Nikon, they first round of lenses for the RF mount from SIGMA will be for APS-C.

The oddball Canon PowerShot V10 is apparently going to get a successor in Q4 of 2024. We have never used one, but if there's going to be sequel, I guess Canon sees some potential. Rumoured features fir the PowerShot V10 Mark II include FullHD @ 120fps, enhanced mic over the original along with improved auto-focus [.
We are likely about 5 weeks away from Canon officially announcing the EOS R5 Mark II, along with a development type announcement for the EOS R1. Canon is going to be using Euro 2024 and the Paris Olympic Games for their hype machine, which worked really well for launching the EOS R3.

This article has been percolating in my mind for a while now, and as I got further into the various designs and Canon’s mentality, it became more of a synopsis of Canon’s methodology to date. The RF system has been very disruptive to Canon in terms of switching the mount and also the ergonomic design [.
There has been a lot of hype over the last year about retro cameras, with the Nikon Z F taking a lot of headlines and with the sales to back up their decision to continue making such a camera. The new Fujifilm XV100VI is also selling like crazy, while not marketed as “retro”, the series [.
