To be very clear, these Canon patents are not new, but one of our team members sent me real-life-like images inspired by those patents, so I have decided to post. In the world of content creation, Canon is pushing the boundaries with its very advanced patent technology. Now, spied from those patent designs for vlogging cameras, we have showcased some of the futuristic designs that will revolutionize the vlogging experience. We have showcased two different designs — one is very powerful and compact, and the other is a stylish camera with a 16mm lens. Let’s explore those two.
Exploring the Canon patent-inspired designs
In the first design, you can see — a handheld kind of vlogging camera which is being attached with a 16mm f/2.8 lens, and the gimbal-type structure will ensure stability while we are shooting handheld videos with the camera. It will be very lightweight. Let’s hope this design may come true soon.
In the second design, you can see we have a compact camera with refined aesthetics. It features a large hybrid screen which helps you to shoot vertical or horizontal videos with Canon’s advanced camera module that can rotate and track you while you’re moving, and the room to make the entire vlogging experience hands-free and easy. So it will be a very advanced, futuristic camera if Canon makes it a real-world product.
These designs were inspired by the following patent images / Post below

Canon has announced its own V series of cameras, starting from the Canon V1 compact camera. Recently, Canon announced the R50 V camera on March 26, 2025. So they are slowly expanding their V series to compete against Sony.
Now what’s next? We are expecting the arrival of the Canon R8 V camera as part of their expansion to its V series. The Canon R8 is expected to have the same image sensor and image processor, but it will surpass the video capabilities of the R6 Mark II camera.
So let’s discuss the possible specifications, arrival date, and the price of the upcoming Canon R8 V camera. It will be a game-changer camera for professional content creators and beginner filmmakers.
Canon R8V Specifications [Expected]
Sensor: 24.2MP full-frame CMOS (same as EOS R8/R6 II) with fast ~1/68s readout to minimise rolling shutter.
Processor: DIGIC X for advanced autofocus and high-quality video output.
Video Capabilities:
4K/60p uncropped, oversampled from 6K – sharp, detailed footage.
4K/120p (1.2x crop) – better slow motion than R6 II’s Full HD/120p.
Canon Log 3, 10-bit 4:2:2 (H.265), HDR PQ, and 2.35:1 aspect ratio for professional colour grading
Four-channel 24-bit audio – cinema-level sound, inherited from R50V.
6fps stills burst – fine for casual use, not suited for fast action.
Power:
LP-E17 / LP-E6NH battery. We are expecting enhanced battery life
No grip support – a key difference from R6 II.
Lens Mount:
RF mount – works with budget RF lenses and premium L-series optics.
Why Canon R8V is better than the R6 Mark II in video specifications
Since Canon R8 V falls into a different zone, it will not cannibalise the sales of the Canon R6 Mark II camera, even if it has improved video core specifications. People who are interested in content creation and photography will buy the R8 V camera. Otherwise, for photographers and hybrid users, the R6 Mark II will remain a perfect choice.
The cube-style design will protect Canon R6 Mark II camera sales: The R8 V cube-style, EVF-free design, completely inspired by the previously announced R50 V camera, ensures it targets professional video creators and content makers.
No electronic viewfinder: It will surely push photographers and hybrid shooters away from this camera, since most of them love to have an EVF so they can compose their shot even in daylight scenarios very precisely.
Simplified controls: No joystick or top LCD display screen like we have in the Canon R6 Mark II. With limited physical controls, specifically made for video workflow, and having the entire menu design very similar to Canon USA cinema-style cameras.
Limited still capture: Canon will cap the continuous capture cycle to 6 frames per second, preserving all possible advantages of a hybrid camera inside the Canon R6 Mark II.
Canon R8V arrival date
Canon’s 2025 roadmap was already packed with Canon R50 V and PowerShot V1 announcements. We also have a list of rumoured cameras like the Canon R6 Mark III, which will arrive in the 4th quarter of 2025. For details, you must look at the list of Canon’s upcoming cameras in 2025.
Q2 / Q3 of 2026 — somewhere between April to September of 2026 — is the perfect timeline, and it also aligns with Canon R8’s 3-year refresh cycle, which was launched back in April 2023. So, introducing an R8 V in mid-2026 is the best possible timing.
If Canon prioritises the creator market, they may launch it sooner.
Canon R8V Price
The Canon R8 was launched at $1,499 (body only), and the R50V is priced at $649.99, ~$300 below the R10’s $979. If Canon follow the same pricing pattern, the Canon R8V price would be
Body Only: $1,799 [Approx], a $300 premium over the R8 for IBIS, 4K/120p, and creator tools.
Kit Options:
$1,999 with RF 24-50mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM lens.
Canon R8V with such core specifications and price can directly compete against cameras like Sony ZV-E1 ($2,199, 4K/120p, IBIS) at a higher price range. But, Canon still have to focus in their full-frame RF Mirrorless lineup since people are waiting for more affordable options from third-party lens makers.

Canon’s new patent for slow-shutter bracketing, aka Live ND Filter powered by AI, could make long-exposure photography a breeze. Instead of tweaking your shutter speed, for each shot, the camera would automatically fire off a series of images at different slow-speed settings in one go. Think light trails streaming behind cars or water flowing silky-smooth over rocks, this feature would handle the adjustments behind the scenes—so you get a variety of creative effects in a single burst, automatically saved in your camera. We can expect the arrival of the feature in Canon’s future cameras.
Patent overview
[Publication number] P2025093064
[Release date] 2025-06-23
[Title of Invention] Imaging device and its control method and program
[Application date] 2023-12-11
[Applicant]
[Identification number] 000001007
[Name or company name] Canon Inc.
An imaging device capable of obtaining a plurality of images with different slow shutter expressions in response to a single shooting instruction, and a control method and program for the same are provided.
[Background technology]
[0002]
As a photography technique using long exposure, there is slow shutter photography, which captures the movement of a moving subject such as a waterfall or water flowing in a river. In slow shutter photography, the expression and impression of the photograph that can be taken changes depending on the length of the exposure time, so it is necessary to repeatedly shoot until a photo that is satisfactory to the user is captured. However, when repeatedly shooting while changing the exposure time, it is not possible to record images with different slow shutter expressions for the same scene.
[0003]
On the other hand, there are conventional techniques that realize pseudo long-second exposure. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a method of synthesizing images taken repeatedly at specific intervals to achieve a specific brightness. Patent Document 2 discloses a method of recording images with different exposures of the same scene as bracket images by repeatedly aligning and additively synthesizing multiple taken images and storing the images.
[0005]
However, in the prior art of Patent Document 1, the brightness of the image changes, so images with different slow shutter expressions cannot be recorded. Also, in the prior art of Patent Document 2, the positioning is performed between the captured images, so images with slow shutter expressions that capture the movement of a moving subject cannot be recorded.
[Patent Document 1] JP 2022-125117 A (OM Digital)
[0006]
The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide an imaging device and a control method and program thereof that can obtain multiple images with different slow shutter expressions with a single shooting instruction.
EFFECTS OF THE PRESENT EMBODIMENTS
[0008]
According to the present invention, a single shooting instruction can obtain a plurality of images with different slow shutter expressions.
According to the latest news on the web via rumor mills, the Canon R7 Mark II camera is coming without a mechanical shutter. The successor to the Canon R7 camera will arrive in Q4 of 2025. Canon R7 series is always called as trend setter of the prosumer market, it always sets a new standard in terms of performance, usability, and practicality
A Shutterless Future for Canon APS-C Cameras?
See, the idea of ditching the mechanical shutter is not entirely new. If you have been following, then Nikon made headlines years ago by dropping the mechanical shutter in the Nikon Z8 and the Nikon Z9 camera. It did raise the eyebrows of professional photographers—those who have been using mechanical shutters for ages— but none of them have any performance quality issues.
A mechanical shutter is required when your sensor readout speed is slow. Typically, all the traditional non-stacked CMOS sensors had slow readout speed, and with the help of a mechanical shutter, the traditional readout speed gets overridden; hence, the mechanical shutter was a very essential thing, till the stacked CMOS sensors arrived in the mirrorless game.
Do Stacked CMOS Sensors Need a Mechanical Shutter?
Now, with the faster readout speed, new age sensors, technically, the stacked CMOS sensors don’t need a mechanical shutter. With faster readout speeds, these sensors minimize rolling shutter distortion, which was a key limitation of electronic shutters in the past. For example, the latest Nikon cameras, the Z8 and Z9, feature stacked CMOS sensors with a readout speed of approximately 3.73ms (1/268 second) for full-resolution RAW stills, among the fastest for HIGH RES. full-frame cameras. This speed significantly reduces rolling shutter artefacts, making mechanical shutters largely redundant for most shooting scenarios.
The Sony Alpha 9 III takes this further with its full-frame global shutter sensor, which captures all pixels simultaneously, effectively eliminating rolling shutter distortion (rendering traditional readout speed measurements irrelevant). This allows distortion-free capture at 120fps for stills and in high-speed video modes like 4K/120p, without the need for a mechanical shutter.
Mechanical shutters are no longer critical for exposure control in these cameras; they still have some use, however, and can serve a secondary purpose: protecting the sensor from dust and debris when the camera is powered off or during lens changes. For example, the Nikon Z8 and Z9 incorporate a sensor shield that closes when the camera is off, addressing this concern without requiring a traditional mechanical shutter.

Take a look at the updated list of Canon R7 Mark II expected core specifications below
Mechanical shutters are expensive to produce, add complexity to camera bodies, and have a finite lifespan due to their moving parts. By going fully electronic, Canon could streamline production and potentially pass savings on to consumers. While using a STACKED CMOS sensor, Electronic shutters can also offer distinct advantages without worrying about the rolling shutter issue. Some Advantages include silent operation, faster burst rates, and higher shutter speeds (up to 1/16,000 sec on the current R7). It’s a welcome and very innovative step by Canon if the information is true.

According to Jan Wegener (and he is 95-98% correct all the time), the Canon R6 Mark III camera will arrive in Q4 of 2025. The main surprise is the Megapixel bump in resolution, as per Jan’s expectation, the camera may use a 30.3MP Full-Frame CMOS Sensor. Let’s have a look at the details of what Jan tells us about the upcoming Canon R6 Mark III camera
The leaked specification isn’t much different from what we have said with you in the past Let’s have a look at the specs

Announcement: Late Aug 2025 – Early Sep, shipping from December 2025
These specs position the EOS R6 Mark III as a powerhouse for hybrid shooters
Here is what Jan Wegener said about the Canon R6 Mark III in his Latest Video
Canon R6 Mark III Release Date and Megapixel Upgrade Rumors
… And interestingly, it seems like that the R6 Mark III is not imminent. There will be an announcement probably in Q4 of 2025. And what I found the most interesting is that it said that the camera would get a megapixel bump. So it wouldn’t be 24 megapixel anymore and something more than that, which I thought was very interesting because that could instantly make the R6 Mark III also an R5 Mark II killer, especially if it’s a cheaper camera with maybe somewhere in the 30 megapixel range.
Why 30 Megapixels Could Be the Sweet Spot for Canon R6 Mark III
Cuz I think for many people that 30 megapixel range still feels like the sweet spot. Would you agree?
Canon R6 Mark III Sensor Technology: Stacked vs Non-Stacked Sensor Debate
But that got me thinking if Canon really gives a megapixel bump to the R6 Mark III and to be able to differentiate it from the R5 Mark II, does Canon then maybe not give the R6 Mark III a stacked sensor and rather a fast readout non-stacked sensor that probably would have a very high image quality even at those high ISO levels.
Pros and Cons of Stacked and Non-Stacked Sensors on Canon R6 Mark III
I can definitely see that being the case and I think I wouldn’t even be totally opposed to it. The stacked sensors are nice, but they also come with some drawbacks, especially when it comes to the image quality. Now, for video, it would be nice to have no rolling shutter at all or very little rolling shutter. But if it’s true that the camera gets more megapixels, I think it not being a stacked sensor would be a lot more likely.
Would you actually be happy with an R6 Mark III that has more megapixels but a non-stacked sensor?
Canon R6 Mark III Price Expectations
I think for many people this could actually make it a super interesting camera, especially if it still comes in below that $3,000 price point because it would suddenly give us such a great all-round camera that would also be fantastic for nature photography and would have a little bit more scope for cropping.
When Will Canon R6 Mark III Be Announced? Rumored Q4 2025 Launch
An announcement in Q4 2025 would be exactly 3 years after the R6 Mark II was announced and I think that would make a lot of sense even if the camera only starts shipping maybe in 2026.

According to the latest rumour coming from the rumour mill on June 17, 2025, Sigma is going to announce two new lenses for Canon APS-C mount cameras, that is the RF-S mount, and the two lenses are:
Sample image of Sigma 18-35mm F1.8mm Lens
Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 DC DN ART
Do you remember the 18-35mm F1.8 lens that was available in the DSLR time? Of course, I missed that lens very badly, and I wondered why Sigma isn’t announcing any alternative to that lens, which was popular among professional APS-C users then. Now, finally, we have a solution. We have a brand new RF-S lens with the same F1.8 constant aperture and a slightly broader focal length.
The lens has a 27-64mm (35mm equivalent) focal length, and without a doubt, it will deliver exceptional image quality to the users. Just imagine pairing the Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 lens with the recently announced Canon R50 V camera—for wedding cinematography or for professional content creation, it will deliver, as I have said, exceptional results to the user.
The expected price of the Sigma lens is somewhere around $1200—that is what I am expecting. I will update this post once the price information is available to us.
Now, the next lens, which is also coming for the RF-S mount:
Sigma 12mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary lens
So this particular lens will become very popular among handheld content creators—those who love to have an ultra-wide lens with a bright maximum aperture to deliver the finest quality possible.
