Things are super quiet at the moment. The next big thing around here will be the shipping of the EOS R1, which should be happening some time in November. Canon is starting in-store demos with a lot of official retailers in the coming weeks, be sure to check out your local store to see if they’re doing one.
Over the last little bit, we have been hearing that Canon will add three segments of cameras to the EOS R lineup in 2025. Two will be for full-frame and the other for APS-C.
The APS-C camera will be far more video focused that any other APS-C camera in the lineup. We’re not sure if any of the current APS-C camera lines will be axed by Canon, that’s a lot of cameras in a line that doesn’t sell all that well outside of Asia.
Canon will also be focusing more on the younger demographic with some upcoming cameras, as Sony is likely kicking their butt with attracting new shooters.
The two full-frame cameras are a bit more interesting for the folks around here. Yes, there will be a “retro” camera coming in late 2025. We have no specifications or what camera from Canon’s past that will serve as inspiration. My vote is still the F1.
The second camera is one of those unicorns that we have been promised over and over again over the years and has yet to materialize. That’s a full-frame megapixel monster. We know Canon has tested a 102mp sensor over the last couple of years years.
When it comes to a 100mp camera focused on photography, is there a big enough market that would want such a camera? We honestly think that is all that is holding back a higher-megapixel product coming to market. Will we actually buy it?
There’s no point in a 45mp to 60mp bump, so it’ll be go big or go home. The current L lenses will not have a problem resolving that many pixels.
We’ll have more to share on these topics in the coming weeks.

Everything like the R5 but with at least 30+ MP (why not 40 as fuji), so ergonomics the same.
It will sell like hot cakes
I do not understand why \'as a wildlife photographer\' anyone wishes for APSC. For me, the only reason to get APSC would be size and weight.
Incidentally, the Sigma 10-18 and 18-50 DC DN C lenses on the R7 are light weight dreams.
Sorry for mansplaining, but it's not "reach" you need but pixel density. The smaller APS-C sensors have a higher pixel density than the larger full frame cameras, which means the image circle of the lion covers more pixels. The APS-C sensor doesn't give you reach, it just crops for you.
The other side of that is that it is more cost effective to produce 24MP APS-C sensors than it is 24MP FF sensors but if Canon made a 61MP FF sensor, it would have the same pixel density as the 24MP APS-C - it would just cost more.
Well if you're looking for a reason to delay building your setup, delaying your build until the mythical high resolution EOS R appears is perfect (if you need an excuse not to.)
100MP, gives me what, 38"x29" when printing at 300dpi. or 4'x3' at 240dpi. That might at least be big enough to not need to do panorama stitching for good size prints. Might.
I wonder if Canon would "fix' their printer line up so that they could print a full resolution image from such a camera? 100MP can fill A0 at 300dpi.
Why would I buy a Canon retro camera and not a Nikon retro camera?
Now what you have is a 960mm lens with a 200 MP sensor. That's like having a 3000mm lens on your R7. That's REACH! Don't be bothered by all those naysayers talking about needing larger sensors for better image quality. You'll have way, way more reach than any of those fools using their pathetic APS-C cameras and thinking they have 'reach'.
