Diversification fuels Canon’s record revenue projections for 2024

#21
The R100 is selling because of the price. Cheap cameras will always sell, no matter how outdated they are. Canon could make a camera from the EOS 450D components and sell a truckload at the right price.
Many beginners don\'t even know what they are buying. They see the Canon logo and it\'s a mirrorless, so it must be good.

There has been a market leader before Canon and there will be one after them. Does it matter? I don't think so.

For now these a great numbers and it looks like Canon is doing a very good job. I find the Nano imprinting especially interesting and hope to read more about it in the future.

Canon’s Nanoimprint Arrives (again)

10 years ago Canon announced they had purchased Austin Texas’s Molecular Imprints Inc, and this was a purchase that I who is always looking at the tech side of Canon was excited about.

In my opinion, Canon made a mistake by not releasing a compact camera - an equivalent (in size and advancement) of the Canon M6 (M6 II). This is something they lack and other companies have in their offer. Ideally, it would be a camera of similar size to the M6 but with IBIS and necessarily with the possibility of mounting a removable EVF. Sales of the Canon R100 in China show that there is demand primarily for small, compact cameras.

An RF M6II would likely be a €1400 camera and IBIS would add a centimeter of thickness. That comes really close to R8 size and price.
Personally, I like what Fuji did with the XM5, a Canon equivalent without wasted dials would tick a lot of boxes for me.
The big question is whether Canon should put in a crop sensor or not. A crop sensor would unlock using the excellent sigma RF-S zooms, but a full frame sensor combined with the RF28 would make a super compact combination.

Whatever Canon is working on, I would very much welcome a body without an EVF. I hope the multifunction shoe already supports external EVFs, that would make a lot of people happy.

I do believe it is coming in 2025, as we have reported there will be new segments for APS-C cameras next year. So I think there will be a couple of truly hybrid APS-C cameras.... it's too far off to really know what they'll be.
