Canon’s mirrorless lenses have been quite successful for the company, offering impressive optical quality that sets the bar quite high. However, Canon fans are still waiting for a stronger mirrorless body that pushes the boundaries a bit more from the company. The good news is that it seems that will be changing soon, as the company is likely to release two new mirrorless cameras in the coming months.
Canon Rumors is reporting that Canon will likely be releasing two new EOS R cameras in the first half of 2020, with the source stating that the company will be “stepping it up a gear” with the new bodies. While the EOS R is a reasonably capable camera, the mirrorless lineup is missing both a high-resolution studio/landscape camera akin to the 5DS R and an action-oriented camera similar to the new 1D X Mark III. While it is not clear just quite yet what sort of cameras Canon is planning on, I would not be surprised to see one or both of the aforementioned types of cameras. It would be particularly exciting to see a high-resolution camera given the optical quality of some of the new RF lenses. 2020 should be exciting for Canon fans!
