Canon Camera and Lens Predictions for 2025

That EVF-less crop camera could be very attractive to me, especially with the 3rd party lenses like the Sigma f/2.8 zooms and f/1.4 primes. The Samyang 12mm f/2 lens also looks like a great walkaround lens for that. But it would need to be a lot better than my R8 and current STM lenses!

A new APS-C body without an EVF that will resemble the EOS M6 Mark II, but with some added size.
That could be one I am waiting for for travel...
If such one could be with FF, even better. But I'd also take APS-C.

An EOS R100 Mark II in collaboration with Richard.
Better an R50 II as well in collaboration with @Richard CR .

Two constant aperture RF-S Z lenses.
Maybe they should redo the APS-C Kit lenses as well.
To me those were as good as the R100. What do you think @Richard CR?
IF those Kits stay and if those RF-S Z lenses weren't small (as I suppose) then I'd have to go with Sigma for the body above.

Ok, I´ve got some time to kill (which has rarely happened these past months) and I want to participate with the fun :)

If Canon is to release 7-9 lenses next year, I´d take a guess:

1. a big surprise lenses nobody thought was possible: a 90-180mm 1:1 macro zoom lens.
2. RF-s 18-55mm F2.8 Z
3. RF-s 55-180mm F2.8 Z
--> or maybe a RF-S 9-20mm F2.8 Z
--> I believe Canon will launch two RF-S Z lenses at the same time
4. RF 85mm F1.4 VCM
5. RF 12-24mm F2.8 Z
6. RF 14mm F1.8 L
7. RF 28-70mm F2 mkii around 1 kg
8. RF 70-150mm F2
9. RF´s 22mm F2 carried over from the EOS M system

Lenses 7 & 8 will be released together.

Cameras:
1. Retro cameras FF
2. R7mkii --> mini R6, designed like R5/6 and with a BG!
3. R10mkii --> current R7 internals, including IBIS
4. Vlogging based APS-C camera

I don´t know what kind of camera a RF-s Z lenses would be best suited for. Maybe it needs a new mode?

Obviously, R6mkiii is coming but that is not a prediction.

2026:
1. R8 mkii moving a little bit more upmarket: still no IBIS, but a joystick (a man can dream!) few tweaks here and there, coming Q2
2. R9 with no EVF and compact design (not really high hopes here) coming in Q4

As said, just guessing here :)
