In Canon’s latest patent, we can see that Canon is working to improve the low-light sensitivity of their sensors, specifically with dense photodiode architecture. This becomes particularly important when pixel sizes decrease and pixel count increases, as is the case with higher-resolution sensors. It’s a significant challenge for camera makers to maintain proper low-light sensitivity under these conditions. To overcome this, Canon is developing new technology to enhance the performance of its sensors.
Canon Latest Patent Summary
Introducing a light shielding layer in the optical waveguide around each pixel to prevent light leakage and color mixing between pixels, and to preserve phase difference information.
Forming an optical waveguide from near the surface of a photoelectric conversion unit to the upper end of an insulating film to prevent light scattering and absorption by wiring inside the pixel.
Adjusting the refractive index of a non-reflective film on the bottom surface of the optical waveguide of a pixel corresponding to each color to manage variations in light receiving sensitivity between colors.

According to the latest news we have from the rumor mill, Canon’s upcoming cameras, which include the flagship mirrorless Canon R1 and the Canon R5 Mark 2, will not use the Global Shutter sensor. The Global Shutter sensor is still far from being included in Canon bodies; it’s not coming soon inside them as per the latest setup information.
And as we all know, even Sony’s A9 Mark III camera is struggling with low-light performance issues. We don’t think Canon will take that risk with their flagship camera body or even the R5 Mark 2 camera.
The Canon MC2 Camera App is currently being tested by Canon China. The app is capable of controlling up to 20 professional video cameras at once. The initial version of the app was tested by Canon China and made available on the Apple Store (soon globally become available) In addition to this, Canon is also expected to announce the MC2 camera app for Android users.
Canon MC2 app Press Release
On November 3, 2023, Canon (China) Co., Ltd. released the camera mobile remote application MC2, which can effectively simplify the multi-camera workflow and provide support for a variety of camera and control all-in-one machines, professional cameras and RC-IP100 camera and control all-in-ones. The machine controller provides free firmware upgrades.
New mobile application makes it easy for one person to control multiple cameras
With the increasing picture quality requirements and the diversification of shooting equipment for video content such as radio and television programs, live broadcasts, large-scale events, and performances, efficiently setting up and managing a large number of shooting equipment at the shooting site has become an important task to ensure the smooth completion of the shooting. one. Canon’s*1 camera mobile remote application MC2 can simultaneously control a variety of cameras equipped with Canon’s own XC protocol, including EOS C300 Mark III, EOS C500 Mark II, EOS C70, and XF605. It can achieve up to 20 cameras at the same time. Connection and control meet the needs of a single person to manage multiple cameras at the same time, and can improve the work process and further improve work efficiency. At the same time, users can remotely browse the current shooting screen in real time through MC2, and can easily check the camera status and set camera shooting parameters. Currently, the application supports user interface languages in English and Japanese, is adapted to the iOS 16 operating system, and users can download it for free through the APP Store.
Canon announced the launch of three new lenses: TF-S10-18mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM, the RF24-105mm F2.8 L IS USM Z, and the RF200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM. All three lenses are designed to benefit a wide range of users from beginners to working professionals.

SSC, ASC & Fluorine Coating
Still and video professionals who want a single lens that can handle most tasks with low-light capabilities will find what they’re looking for with the RF24-105mm F2.8 L IS USM Z. This is the world’s first 24-105mm focal length lens combined with consistent f/2.8 maximum aperture,1 offering true portrait-length telephoto coverage resulting in sharp images. High-end photographers, photojournalists, and video content creators can utilize this lens’ other features that include:
Constant overall length when zooming.
Manual aperture ring for video use.
Optimized optics for high-level video.
Image stabilization.
A new Power Zoom Adapter will also be available for the RF24-105mm F2.8 L IS USM Z lens, an optional accessory for super-smooth zooming during video operation. This detachable device allows for more natural movement when zooming in and out, and easier control for solo camera operators. A standard version of the Power Zoom Adapter will be available, as well as a 20-pin port version to support zoom and focus demands. The firmware updates that will be available in early December for the EOS C70 and EOS R5 C cameras will add support for the RF24-105mm F2.8 L IS USM Z lens.
The RF-S10-18mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM lens offers users of APS-C sensor size EOS R-series cameras an ultra wide-angle zoom, helping create strong still images and video. It is an ideal lens for vloggers, travelers, and general shooters. Beginners in video and still photography can make good use of this lens, as well as the more advanced pros. Key features include:

According to a well-known YouTube content creator “Jan Wegener” who also predicted the arrival of the many Canon and third-party camera makers well before their announcement, and recently also very clearly hinted that the Canon 200 to 800mm lens is coming prior to any website or rumor mill.
Now in his latest vlogs, he very clearly said that the Canon R5 Mark 2 camera will arrive in the first quarter of 2024 and the Canon flagship mirrorless camera, the EOS R1, will arrive in the 4th quarter of 2024.
Not only that, he also confirmed that there will be several Canon PRO photographers who will be using the Canon EOS R1 camera during the Olympics, but for testing purposes only. Although we can expect some sort of development announcement at the beginning of the year, the final set of announcements, as told by him, is about to happen at the end of 2024.
Canon’s new Mega zoom lens is coming. Even more exciting news is that the lens isn’t coming under the L branding, which means the lens will be a bit more affordable and accessible to consumers.
Major specs know
Non-L series lenses
Approximately 2500 euros
F6.3-F9 or F6.5-9.0
Very lightweight for its size
Price $2000 approx
It’s really great news that Canon is finally willing to put more affordable lenses on the market. In the absence of an OPEN LENS MOUNT, for sure putting more affordable lenses in the market is a good move by Canon, if they bring more glasses for RF-S Mount too, the community will surely grow and the consumer base will expand. BTW, if we talk about 200-800mm, Supporting a zoom lens under a $ 2,000 budget is a good move. Let’s hope and expect that we will get the Canon quality that we always expect from this brand.
