Canon UK has posted a teaser on its Instagram account, saying that “something new is coming” and encouraging people to set a reminder to watch a YouTube livestream on September 9th at 3PM CEST (6AM PT / 9AM ET).
The teaser image is surprisingly revealing, showing what looks like a video-focused camera with a boxy design and potentially 1/4-20″ mounting points on the top plate. It also clearly shows a red Record button in place of a shutter and a front-facing tally light.
The design is reminiscent of the EOS R50 V, an APS-C vlogging camera the company released earlier this year which featured a gimbal-friendly form-factor. However, given the several control points shown in the image and what looks to be a red-ring lens attached, it won’t be surprising if this is a higher-end offering.
It’s also worth noting that the announcement is set right before the start of the IBC (International Broadcasting Convention) trade show, where we typically get a look at company’s video-focused offerings.
Whatever Canon has planned, it sounds like we won’t have to wait that long to get more details.
Our DPREVIEW Tribute:
After nearly 25 years of operation, DPReview closed on 10 April 2023. This difficult decision was part of the annual operating plan review that parent company, Amazon, shared earlier this year.
Over the course of 25 years, DP Review built up a reputation as being one of the most informative places to go for information about that new camera or lens you’re after. DP Review began as an independent reviews site based in the UK in 1998, the brainchild of Philip and Joanna Askey, but it was eventually purchased by Amazon in 2007 and relocated over to Seattle in the USA in 2010.
Cheers DPReview – thanks for the great work and content that guided photographers, videographers and techno junkies the world over!
