If this list of specs is true and this sensor has the performance of the 5d4 sensor, and it’s either ef mount or has a cheap enough adapter with excellent EF performAnce, then I am in for this! If these are true, count me as shocked that canon would do all this for this price..

Rumored specifications
  • 28MP full frame sensor
  • Dual Pixel Auto Focus
  • IBIS (In Body Image Stabilisation)
  • 10fps shooting
  • 4k@30fps
  • 1080p@60fps
  • Priced $1,900
 
I don't know why they wouldn't just use the 5D4 sensor. But yes, this looks fine and if this is true then it would seem to me that they are aiming for the advanced enthusiast/part time pro market, not the "ultimate IQ at all costs, size doesn't matter" market. I think Nikon has left the door open for Canon to create a smaller, more portable, more discreet system that will be better for travel, street, backpacking, social/family events, etc.

When the 5DSR goes mirrorless, then we will see Canon's ultimate IQ offering.
 
As with all things Canon, it will be greatly met with disappointment and then the discontentment will slowly morph in to acceptance of a solid offering that will undoubtedly be behind the times. Not a whole lot to get excited about.

I am interested in seeing the new Super-Tele advancements, they will either be absolutely disappointing or a nice step forward. I doubt I buy one, as resale values have plummeted on a lot of Canon's line, but it should be cool to see.

On 5 September according to Canonrumors ?


I think Canon SHOULD release a mirrorless FF DSLR as an answer to the Z6 / Z7 in the next few months, otherwise they'll be blown away by Nikon (and Sony).

And that mirrorless DSLR should have a new mount, just because of the flange distance and have an adapter to mount all EF lenses on it.

...if it has a top-notch EVF, decent and comfortable built to include at least 6D2 level weather sealing (preferably 5D4 level), edge-to-edge AF, and hopefully [near] eye AF, and has at least the DR of the 5D4 (pixel count can be lower, although I prefer higher -- would be pleased if it simply used the 5D4 sensor).
 
Have they done edge to edge with any DPAF cameras? Isn't it more like 80%, which seems fine to me anyway, really.

I'm a bit surprised at the 28mp idea, I would expect higher. I'm also surprised at the 1900$ idea, I would also expect higher. :)

I hope they don't use the 5D4 sensor, but something that is at least incrementally better in DR, which seems reasonable.

It'll be interesting to see what happens.

The pro filmmakers do not need stabilisation in the body so -500$

4k 30fps or 60 or 120 either -500$

Auto Focus in video is truly said for amateur/home use only so -500$

We need FAST CF CARD SLOT
 
Would love to see this, but it seems unlikely. Remember, the 6D MkII (which I own and am happy with) was released at $1999

Let's compare the 6D MkII against the list:

28MP full frame sensor (26MP)
Dual Pixel Auto Focus
IBIS (In Body Image Stabilisation)
10fps shooting
(6.5 FPS)
4k@30fps
1080p@60fps

The original source: https://www.canonwatch.com/some-new-canon-full-frame-mirrorless-camera-talk-28mp-1900-ibis/ says the specs are a suggestion. They don't even call it a rumor.

This does not seem like a leak of the actual specs. I think that the initial price for a camera like this would be at least $2099, like the 6D2. All the specs are reasonable. The only question is IBIS. AFAIK this would be the first time for a Canon camera. I am not sure they are ready. In the dpreview interview with Canon executives, they said they already had all the components for a FF ML. That would exclude IBIS.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the 5D4 sensor in any practical way. I hope they do use it.

I think I typed the wrong initial price for the 6D2, it was $1999. $1900 still lokks too low based on Canon's history of high initial prices that may eventually drop significantly.

I'm not surprised by that. Sony's a7iii has been selling like crazy and is 24mp. They can't keep it in stock anywhere. I would guess that Canon would eventually have a higher priced, higher resolution camera as well.
I'm also surprised at the 1900$ idea, I would also expect higher. :)
Me too, that's a BIG surprise
I hope they don't use the 5D4 sensor, but something that is at least incrementally better in DR, which seems reasonable.
I would love it if they used the 5d4 sensor or at least one that can match it. If they matched the Sonys, even better.
It'll be interesting to see what happens.
Yes it will!

I agree that it seems unlikely, but I'm hoping that Canon realizes that they priced the 6dii too high and learns from that. If you compare these specs to Sony's a7iii which is priced at $1999 it's all the same basically (except for Sony has a higher framerate for 4k and 1080p I believe)

If I could thumbs down your post I would. I certainly hope they don't listen to you and come out with one that doesn't have IBIS or AF for video...
 
Canon rumors methodology goes something like this.

Oh crystal ball, oh great crystal ball, what will Canon bring next oh crystal ball.

Then he runs to the computer and writes. Ok, my trusted sources say we will have a mirrorless soon... haha What a joke. This guy changes directions faster than a jack rabbit being chased by a cayote.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of the sensor in my 5D4, just hope they are continuing to work on sensor tech, really.

All these wish lists and expectations for Canon's FF mirrorless entry don't sound even remotely realistic based on how Canon does business. I simply hope against logic that Canon has realized "Oh, hey! There are other camera companies out there producing things with significantly better specs than us and people are buying them rather than our products now, so our #1 position is in trouble if we don't do something about that."

But, like I've said, while I hope for the best, I wouldn't put any money on it until I see it with my own eyes.

OK -- I'll certainly be happy with 80%.
I'm a bit surprised at the 28mp idea, I would expect higher.
I'm thinking maybe 28 MP and 56 MP versions.
I'm also surprised at the 1900$ idea, I would also expect higher. :)
Probably $1999 at a minimum -- more likely $2199 while less specced than the A73 and Z6.
I hope they don't use the 5D4 sensor, but something that is at least incrementally better in DR, which seems reasonable.
The 5D4 sensor in the lower end model would be more than acceptable, and, methinks, a 56 MP sensor with the 5D4 DR in the upper end model would be more than acceptable to many, too.
It'll be interesting to see what happens.
To be honest, I think, just as was the case with the 6D2, it will be another example of reasonable expectations let down by reality. Here's to hoping I'm terribly wrong!
