Canon has to register their cameras with regulators is this is one way we can an early warning of an imminent camera release. The number used for this camera is consistent with past other interchangeable lens cameras. While we’re not certain, the best guess we have is that this would finally be the long fabled Canon R1. A true flagship camera, apparently.
We’ve been told that there are people testing prototypes of this camera presently but they’ve all signed non-disclosure agreements and no leaked photos of the camera body have appeared yet. We really don’t have much reliable reports about this camera but we’ve seen a few indications that they may not be going for as high of a megapixel count as one might guess.
