Canon has announced that it is developing a virtual reality (VR) software platform that it is calling Kokomo. It is designed with the intention of changing human communication by combining VR with "immersive" Canon camera-powered video calls.
Canon's experimental PowerShot PICK that was originally launched as a crowdfunding campaign in Japan appears to be getting an international rollout. Renamed the PowerShot PX, the camera is at the very least coming to Europe.
Canon has shared video captured with its unique virtual reality RF 5.2mm f/2.8 L Dual Fisheye lens. The 4K footage allows for inspection of quality as well as showcases the ability to "look around" and interact with the scene.
Canon has announced what it describes as its first product for virtual reality capture: the RF 5.2mm f/2.8 L Dual Fisheye Lens. It is capable of enabling stereoscopic 3D 180-degree virtual reality (VR) shooting to a single image sensor.
Canon will reportedly soon release a dual 5.2mm f/2.8 L fisheye lens designed for the creation of virtual reality content.
Canon's official crowdfunding page for the PowerShot PICK, its latest experimental camera, reveals more information on how the camera will operate. The campaign is already wildly successful, surpassing 5,900% of its goal at the time of publication.
Just two days after the initial rumor that Canon's experimental AI camera was close to coming to market, a Japanese publication has reported that it will be officially revealed at the end of January through a crowdfunding campaign.
Canon has publicly stated that it plans to put notable effort behind specialized cameras as it prepares for the future of the digital camera industry. Therefore, this latest rumor of a PowerShot camera driven by AI would make a lot of sense.
Canon has patented a new sensor design that mimics the design of backside-illuminated (BSI) sensors made by Sony. Mixing Dual Pixel with BSI would likely result in huge leaps in low light performance, dynamic range, and readout speeds.
For many months, the Canon rumor mill has been split on whether or not a crop-sensor EOS R camera would ever be announced. Some said yes, others scoffed, but finally a reliable source has "confirmed" that this camera is indeed coming, and it will arrive next year.
Over the past few days, rumors that Canon is preparing to release an EOS M50 Mark II have been all-but-confirmed by dealer product listings. The camera is almost certainly going to be unveiled very soon, and now, we have a pretty good idea about the key specs as well.
When Canon officially entered the full-frame mirrorless space with the EOS R, they were praised for releasing not one, not two, but three different RF-mount lens adapters. But it seems that was just the beginning...
The Canon leaks are coming hard and fast now that the official product launch is less than 48 hours away. Yesterday we got a peek at the various 8K modes of the EOS R5 and the new 600mm and 800mm f/11 lenses; today, we get our first leaked product photos of the more affordable EOS R6.
The two strangest lenses Canon is reportedly going to launch on Thursday are the RF 600mm f/11 and the RF 800mm f/11. Now, we have our first leaked photos to show us why exactly Canon has decided to make these lenses so slow. As expected: they're incredibly small and hand-holdable.
Notoriously reliable site Nokishita has posted a list of six lenses and two teleconverters that Canon is planning to release in 2020. All of them are RF-mount lenses, some are exciting, and some of them are quite strange... like the 600mm f/11 and 800mm f/11 super-telephoto primes.
Canon's upcoming full-frame mirrorless cameras will be here very soon. According to the most recent reports, both the heavily previewed Canon EOS R5 and the rumored Canon EOS R6 will be announced together "on or around July 2nd."
One of the last bits of information that Canon has withheld about the thrice-teased EOS R5 is the price. Will it cost upwards of six grand, like this (likely unreliable) rumor claimed, or will it come in closer to the price of the 5D Mark IV at launch ($3,500). Fortunately, it will be the latter.
Canon's much-rumored and anticipated EOS R6—the mirrorless variant of the 6D line-up of DSLRs—was originally expected in May, but it sounds like we'll have to wait a little while longer for this full-frame mirrorless camera to officially arrive.
If you were worried that Canon was going to do away with the EOS M lineup of APS-C mirrorless cameras, it seems you have nothing to fear. Recent reports indicate that Canon has two new EOS M cameras in the works, as well as a few new lenses.
Since it's already officially announced, we've been focusing on coverage for the upcoming 8K Canon EOS R5, but that's not all Canon has in store for 2020. Reports indicate that Canon is also working on an EOS R6—a full-frame mirrorless camera with a 20MP sensor, 20fps electronic shutter, 4K/60p video and more.
Canon is reportedly working on a high-megapixel full-frame mirrorless EOS R camera. The camera, which is allegedly already being tested IRL by a select group of photographers, is said to boast an image sensor around 80-90 megapixels of resolution on offer.
If you've been itching to see what the next Canon EF lens announcement will be, you may have to wait over a year to find out. Canon is reportedly pausing EF DSLR lens announcements entirely in 2019 to focus on catching up in the full-frame mirrorless camera war with new RF mirrorless lenses.
Rarely has a headline so technical been so genuinely exciting. In addition to the rumored addition of C-Log, a new report claims Canon will also significantly improve the crop factor for 4K video shot with the 5D Mark IV from 1.74x to just 1.27x, letting you take advantage of a lot more sensor.
Canon's next entry-level full-frame camera might not have a mirror box. A new rumor is claiming that Canon's first full-frame mirrorless camera will spell the end of the 6D series so as not to cannibalize the company's entry-level full-frame user base.
File this rumor in the "odd-but-plausible" folder. According to a "retail source," Canon is planning to put a 30MP sensor in the Canon 5D Mark IV. Not 20, 22, or 24... 30MP.
Are you ready for the Canon 5D Mark IV? Because it's right around the corner. A new report reveals that photographers are already testing the camera out in the wild, getting the software ready for the expected August release.
It's almost too much to hope for, so we'll tell you to start with the salt and go from there on this rumor. Apparently, sources are saying Canon is finally going to get serious about mirrorless cameras this upcoming year by releasing an all-new mirrorless camera that will sport a full-frame sensor. *insert high pitch noises here*
The new Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM II is set to arrive later this month, which might explain why the leaks have started coming hard and fast. After the official photo leaked yesterday, a full spec list has emerged that shows just how many improvements Canon is planning to make to the 16-year-old lens.
Here's an interesting rumor from the Canon camp. You know that 'modular' phone Google is working on that will let you swap out pieces of it -- say, the camera, or the processor -- by removing and attaching different pieces? Well, fresh rumors suggest Canon is thinking of doing something similar with a forthcoming DSLR.
Multi-layer sensors and high-megapixel DSLRs aren't the only cameras Canon is rumored to be working on in the "breaking the status quo" category. Already mentioned by Canon Hong Kong, a large-sensor, high-zoom PowerShot premium compact is being officially teased in a Canon Netherlands video.
