Whether you’re looking for a new DSLR, a high-end mirrorless camera or an entry-level model, you’ll find something in this 2023 digital camera update. You’ll also find a few surprises – and some of the most interesting new features on the market.
Canon’s next full-frame camera
Despite Canon’s recent success with the EOS R, it is still not clear what their next full-frame camera will be. Rumors have been circling the Internet for some time, but Canon has not released any concrete details.
It is likely that Canon will continue to produce full-frame DSLR bodies, but they will no longer be the high-end mirrorless models they were in the past. Instead, they may choose to focus their resources on the edges of the line, and possibly even replace a few older models with a new, more expensive mirrorless model.
However, the rumors are far from a complete list of possible cameras for 2023. It is expected that the company will introduce two full-frame models, and at least one of them will be a mirrorless version of the 1DX.
The other possibility is that they will develop a new ultra-high megapixel mirrorless camera. This might include a 100-megapixel sensor, which would be a big marketing push for Canon.
Canon’s next entry-level mirrorless camera
Despite not having an official announcement yet, Canon has been rumored to be developing its next entry-level mirrorless camera. This would likely be called the EOS R50, and it’s been rumored to have a body that sits below the current entry-level RF-mount model, the EOS R10.
It’s a bit unclear if this is a new entry-level RF-mount camera, or if it’s an updated version of the EOS R6. While it’s possible the two are the same, it’s more likely that the R6 is a lower-mp camera.
The new entry-level RF-mount camera will be smaller than the EOS Cinema cameras. It’s also expected to have similar codec options as the R5C. It may record 7K footage in 60P.
It’s also possible the EOS R50 will have a touchscreen instead of an electronic viewfinder, and it’s believed it would have beginner-focused specs.
It’s possible the camera could have an increased resolution of 30 megapixels, which is higher than the EOS R6. The higher resolution sensor might be beneficial for detailed studio work. It’s also possible the camera will feature a Digic X processor to unlock improved burst shooting speeds.
Canon’s new RF mount replacement for the Canon EOS M50
Despite being one of the most popular and well-reviewed cameras on the market, the Canon EOS M50 has been overshadowed by the introduction of the Canon RF mount. This isn’t surprising, given that the Canon RF mount offers faster autofocus and higher image quality. It also means that there won’t be any new lenses made for the M50.
That said, Canon has recently announced that it will be developing a new RF mount replacement for the M50. That camera is expected to be launched in early 2023.
The EOS M50 is a compact and affordable travel camera with great image quality. Its video performance is also top-notch. It is available in black or white, making it a versatile choice for travel photographers. It’s a popular model in Asia and has been consistently rated as one of the best-selling cameras on the market.
The new RF mount isn’t the only thing Canon is working on, though. The company is also planning to develop a hybrid DSLR system. It’s not clear whether this will be a full-frame model or an APS-C camera.
Canon’s next DSLR
Whether or not Canon’s next DSLR will be released in 2023 has not been officially confirmed, but it is rumored to be in the works. If it is, it could be the long-awaited EOS R1 or another EOS M-style camera. It would likely have beginner-friendly specs, such as a APS-C sensor, compact body, and modes for easy operation.
The company has already made a big push in mirrorless technology. It has rounded out its full frame mirrorless camera lineup and is developing several new F mount lenses. It has also been working on an EOS R50 camera, a RF mount equipped EOS M successor. It is expected that this camera will be announced around the first quarter of 2023.
The EOS R6 Mark II is the first full-frame EOS R series mirrorless camera to enter the second generation. It has a powerful Digic 6+ processor, two memory card slots, a Guide Number of 60 meters at ISO 100 at the 200mm zoom setting, a 1.2s recycle time, and weighs 8.4 oz.
