The Next Fullframe Vlogging camera that surfaced from the patent may use the Canon R8 Sensor and compact gimbal-style design, the overall design is very unique and advanced. But, this patent was done by Canon back in 2020, Maybe their marketing team waiting for the right time to announce such a product, otherwise it will become a too-advanced product without any direct competitor on the Row. we all know what happened with the Sony DSC R1 camera, it was an APS-C style compact camera announced back in Sep 2016 by Sony. But, at that time people were not ready for that type of advanced camera neither Canon nor Nikon were able to put a direct competitor of the same, so Sony never announced the next version of the same. Similarly, I think Canon’s marketing team is waiting for the right time. 165
