Over the past few days, rumor sites seem to have come to a consensus that Canon will launch a full-frame mirrorless camera in the very near future. Canon Rumors and Canon Watch point to a full-frame body called the EOS R, alongside a list of lenses published today by Japanese news and rumor site Nokishita. A list of ‘RF’ lenses rumored to be launched with the system include:
- Canon RF 35mm F1.8 M IS
- Canon RF 50mm F1.2L USM
- Canon RF 28-70mm F2L USM
- Canon RF 24-105mm F4L USM
Also rumored to be announced soon:
- Canon EF-M 32mm F1.4 STM
- Canon EF 400mm F2.8L IS III
- Canon EF 600mm F4L IS III
Nokishita also suggests that a battery-grip, radio-wave receiver and an adapter (M to R, or “mount” – they say it’s unclear which) will also be announced.
Obviously, nothing is confirmed at this point and rumors are rumors. But we’d be surprised if Canon wasn’t prepping a full-frame mirrorless system amid competition from Sony and now Nikon. What’s your take on this list of lenses supposedly launching with the system? Let us know in the comments.
