There is really no need to have dedicated APS-C glass on RF mount if all the bodies are going to have IBIS, Canon has the opportunity to assume they can use all the space of a 35mm sensor for stabilization.
Being limited to ancient tourist zoom glass for a basic kit is going to be a real setback for crop RF. It just doesn't make sense. They will hastily slap together a crappy kit lens, likely just a cheap EF-S or EF-M lens with a built in adapter.
I don't see Canon going to all the trouble of bringing out APS-C cameras in the R system and then not properly supporting them with native lenses.
Still, it would be nice to be able to pair the RF 100-500 to a crop 32Mp sensor.
They will likely be a mix of FF and a few APS-C specific ones. For a 7D replacement I don't think it needs much in the way of crop lenses. Where I think RF-S variants shows up is if a budget friendly Rebel type line is introduced. These are the cameras that will need smaller, lighter weight lenses.
I don't believe this will happen. Two reasons:
- RP, RF 24-105mm stm, RF 35mm IS f/1.8 stm, RF 50mm f/1.8 stm are all compact
- Why on earth would Canon develop new stuff for those who want more compact than the above options when the R&D for the M lenses with the more compact M mount is already spend....
Because the M system is a dead end one. There are millions of DSLR APS-C users that will never buy into the M system but will buy into the R system.
Absolutely. Nonetheless some will go M, because of a smaller size. Not all. But some. I don't have the numbers. Do you?
None of us do but that doesn't stop us from pontificating. I tend to think that most APS-C DSLR users who haven't already bought into the M system probably won't going forward. Canon also isn't giving them any new M system components to do so either. I don't believe these holdouts care all that much about small size and in fact might find the M cameras too small. Also, the M system got a bad rap from the beginning and this sticks to the system even today. I am probably one of many who bought into the M system, became disappointed with it and returned to DSLRs. Canon has given me no new reasons to consider it again and a few more reasons to not consider it.
Also, most DSLR APS-C users don't care about FF cameras and never will.
They care about cameras. Do they really care about a sensor being..... too big? Is that a problem, to have a bigger sensor?
They cared enough for whatever reason to buy APS-C over FF. It probably was for a mixture of cost and size concerns. The R system is blurring these lines though.
This is why Canon might develop a Rebel/xxD line of RF mount APS-C cameras.
When aps-c DSLR users are upgrading they may get a 90D this round if the R6 is too pricey, but the next round it will be an R6.
Maybe. I think they want a somewhat more compact camera the size and basic form of a Rebel.
