Canon Cinema EOS C300 Mark III information:

I have been told that Canon plans to continue their scheduled announcement dates for new products, including the Canon EOS R5, Canon EOS R6, and a new Cinema camera.
The EOS R5 and EOS R6 are scheduled to be announced in the next 8 weeks or so, and a new Cinema Camera should come in April.
Announcements for new lenses may get pushed back I have been told.
The downside is ship dates are a complete unknown at this time, which I think is an expected reality.
More to come…

In an interview with Techradar, Canon’s product marketing specialist David Perry talks about the Canon EOS R5 and where it fits.
On the ergonomic decisions for the Canon EOS R5
“We’ve got the joystick on here, instead of the Multi-function bar. Everybody knows the multi-function bar on the EOS R got a mixed response – some people really got on with it, some people really couldn’t get on with it at all,” he said. “So maybe going with this is a safer bet – more people are used to the multi-controller.”
“Because this is a 5-series, more people at that kind of level will expect functions similar to what you get on a 5D.” he added.

Eight unreleased lenses have shown up for certification according to Nokishita.
At least one of these lenses is likely the Canon RF 100-500mm f/4-7.1L IS USM, along with the two teleconverters. None of these SKU’s match the Canon RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM, which recently began shipping.

I posted the question of what lens you’d like to see Canon make, the only rule is it had to be somewhat realistic. No “RF 10-1000mm f/1L IS 1.4-2.0x USM” sort of suggestions.
I started with a lens I have wanted for the EF mount, and now I’d like to see it for the RF mount. I love the 28mm focal length and I’d love a nice fast L version for the upcoming EOS R5.
What's a "realistic" lens you would like to see Canon make?
I'll start.
Canon RF 28mm f/1.2L USM.

What about a super-fast wide-angle astrophotography prime?
14mm f/1.2 for astro… Doable, useful, unique, and a good compliment to the Canon Ra
— Tony Northrup (@tonynorthrup) March 21, 2020
How about a short fast zoom with IS?
RF 20mm-50mm f2 IS
— Lee Zavitz (@ZavitzLee) March 20, 2020
A few people would like to see a fast RF 135mm lens.
RF 135 1.8 L IS

RF 135mm 1.4L

Maybe we can go all-in on some amazing sports glass?
RF 300 f2.0

RF 200-400 F2, the greatest sports lens ever

The EF mount is still getting some love.
EF 50mm f/1.4L USM

Where oh where is that 600mm f/4 DO Canon?
600mm f/4 DO, please
— Scott Vincent (@scottavincent) March 21, 2020
EF 600mm f4 DO ;-)
— Mark Wright (@markwright12002) March 20, 2020
SIGMA did this, but as a zoom, so I guess it’s “realistic”!
500 f2.8

Sound off in the forum if any of these lenses tickle your fancy, or if you have any other great ideas. Canon engineers definitely read this site!

image.canon appears to be launching on April 14, 2020. This is Canon’s new online image storage service.
There are still a lot of questions about this service, especially which cameras are going to be supported? Will this only work over Wifi, or will you have the option of using it via LTE? Why is there a separate app for image.canon?
On the surface, the service looks like it could be a winner, as long as it’s reliable and easy to use.
