Canon is on the point of raise the veil on what seems to be a serious announcement on November 06 – and the imaging big’s newest teaser presents a far larger trace at what’s coming in only a matter of days.
Canon had beforehand dropped a teaser on the finish of October, so Canon followers already know that one thing is approaching November 06. However the first teaser simply confirmed an underexposed glimpse of what seems like a mirrorless digital camera and a lens photographing a sundown, photographed from the again of the digital camera.
Canon’s second teaser, nevertheless, is a little more revealing, displaying one other view of the camera-lens combo, this time viewing the digital camera from the entrance at a slight angle. The teaser, shared on Tuesday, November 04, was accompanied by a short description on social media: “For the imagemakers who see the world in a different way. Prepare to find your energy and unleash your ardour. Keep tuned for what’s coming 11/6.”
Whereas the brand new teaser doesn’t explicitly state what’s coming, and even whether or not the announcement is a digital camera or a lens, cautious consideration to element on that new teaser picture presents just a few extra hints.
First, I can see that the lens within the picture is a zoom that goes as much as 105mm and has a 77mm filter measurement. It seems to me just like the lens within the teaser could possibly be the Canon RF 24-105mm f/4 L lens, though I can’t be 100% sure with a part of the lens hidden in shadow.
If the lens within the teaser is actually a lens that already exists – the 24-205mm f/4 – then Canon is probably going teasing a brand new physique, not a lens. The primary teaser, which exhibits extra of the again of a digital camera than a lens, additionally appears to lean extra in the direction of a brand new physique than a lens.
The brand new teaser picture exhibits an angled view of the digital camera’s grip, which showcases some basic Canon ergonomics. I can see the angled placement of the shutter launch, an adjustment dial, and two extra dials on the prime of the digital camera. Canon has just a few full-frame mirrorless cameras with related ergonomics already, so the teaser doesn’t precisely slim it down as to what mannequin is getting an replace (or whether or not we’re in for one thing solely new).
On the aspect, I can see a big door – I’m hoping that hints at twin card slots. Canon’s use of the phrases “energy” and “ardour” has me torn over whether or not the announcement is extra professional or extra hobbyist, however the glimpse of that aspect door feels extra professional to me.
What’s not there in a teaser is simply as essential as what’s. The digital camera within the teaser has a black shutter launch, not crimson. That, blended with Canon’s use of the time period “imagemaker,” has me pretty assured that it’s not more likely to be a cinema digital camera just like the EOS R5 C, which has a crimson button quite than black.
Whereas the second teaser nonetheless obscures the aspect of the digital camera the place the title of the physique often sits, it presents a number of extra hints in comparison with the primary. I am considering it is a new full-frame mirrorless physique. Make your guess, then tune into Canon’s announcement, which is scheduled for 1 AM EST / 6 AM GMT on November 6, or 10 PM PST on November 5 for the West Coast of the US.
