Single start at R8.

I think R8 is the RII and will cost around $1500.

R9 will be RP II and will cost around $1000.

R is now available at $1400.

Both R and RP disappeared without a trace from one online store in december, I think it replaces them both.

I have the feeling that R8 is going to be a range finder.

A rangefinder as in “Leica rangefinder” or you mean “rangefinder style” as in a Fuji with the evf on the left?

Canon is way to conservative to think out of the box, so it will be a regular R7/R10 body.

X100/XPro, but I am pretty happy with Sony a6000/Fuji XE style also.

Do any of those provide a rangefinder? Canon's last rangefinder camera was the Canonet GIII introduced in 1972.

God, imagine the craze there would be for a digital Canonet QL17...would make the X100V look tame.

Agree, but they will have to replace the mercury battery, canon has never released a retro camera to my knowledge though.

Back in the mid 90’s when the EOS system was very well established they released the Canon 50 E which was kind of retro style back then but they stopped there and all subsequent releases looked very much like the DSLR form we see today.

Well, whether that counts or not, I am not sure, but I commend you on your knowledge.

let’s hope canon releases their first ever “true” (in the Scotsman sense) retro camera!
