The camera maker is rumored to be conducting market research to figure out if an APS-C RF mount camera is worthwhile.
Reports of Canon developing an APS-C format EOS R camera have been around since October 2020. At the time, it was speculated that this new type of camera would arrive towards the end of 2021. While that’s likely not going to happen, reports of a Canon APS-C RF mount camera are rife, with the oft-reliable Canon Rumors now suggesting that the Japanese camera maker has « actively been doing market research […] to see if there’s a real demand for such a camera ». We’ve already heard of three crop sensor EOS R cameras supposedly in the pipeline – namely the EOS R7, R8 and R9 – that could replace not only the Canon EOS 7D series of DSLRs but also Canon’s M-series APS-C mirrorless cameras.
