Canon announced the C80 camera, the massive update is the introduction of a full-frame 26 MP Stacked CMOS sensor. The Canon C80’s stacked CMOS sensor can capture video up to 6K resolution without oversampling, and hence you can record as much as you want without overheating issues. And also features a triple-base ISO design, with bases at ISO 800, 3200, and 12,800.
2nd Gen of DPAF
The new sensor is fabricated with advanced DPAF 2nd gen of Autofocus points, The AF algorithm is also updated, so now you can easily track and focus 3d moving objects more precisely as well and animal eye AF tracking is also included.
A PURE Cinema Camera
12G-SDI terminals to allow for output of uncompressed video signals, Canon’s multi-function shoe, a new lightweight handle accessory for attaching multi-function accessories, a third 1/4″-20 tripod thread on the base of the camera and another on top, and an ethernet terminal. Connections include full-sized HDMI-out, two mini XLR audio inputs, a 3.5mm microphone jack, 4-channel audio support, and a Time Code terminal. There are 13 custom buttons.
Built-in ND Filters
ND filter system as the EOS C400, with five settings ranging from ND2 to ND10, and there’s a helpful tape measure hook on the top of the camera for planning focus and focus pulls.
Crop in 4k 60p? Disappointing thing in 2024
Canon C80 can capture up to 6K/30p video using the width of its sensor or up to 4K/60p using a Super 35mm crop when using Canon’s Cinema RAW LT (‘light’) codec.
Codec Support
The camera also supports compressed codecs, including Canon’s XF-AVC, XF-HEVC S, and XF-AVC S codecs, all of which support video capture up to 4K/60p (downsampled from 6K) in 4:2:2 10-bit color, using either All-I or Long-GOP formats.
Limitation of the UHS-II SD Cards
It doesn’t support Canon’s higher bit rate Cinema RAW formats, HQ and ST, which require write speeds beyond the ability of the C80’s dual-SD (UHS-II) memory cards.

Canon Retro Camera Rumor first published on March 2024
The patent describes the importance of having more contact pins in an advanced fixed LENS Lens camera as well as in a Mirrorless Mount, So we may expect a RETRO APS-C Compact camera from Canon to compete against the Fuji X-100 VI as well as they may also consider the upscaling contact point in RF-Mount in near future.
having more electronic contacts in the camera mount or lens mount is crucial for reliable communication and control between the camera body and the lens.
- The patent talks about both interchangeable lens systems and fixed lens systems, electronic contacts are key to transmitting data, power, and control signals. These include commands for autofocus, image stabilization, aperture control, and other functions.
- The more sophisticated the lens becomes in the near future (e.g., with advanced image stabilization, autofocus motors, etc.), the more electronic connections are needed to handle the increased data and power requirements.
- The patent describes (Image below) the interchangeable lens systems, the camera mount (600) and lens mount (500) need precise and reliable electronic contacts to ensure consistent communication. In fixed lens systems, similar electronic connections exist internally without the need for detachable mounts.
So, increasing the number of electronic contacts in the mount (for interchangeable lenses) or within the fixed lens system can improve performance and reliability.
From the Desk of TNC Editor –
The patent text clearly shows Canon is working to enhance the communication between the lens and the body of a Fixed lens camera unit, right now the are putting entire focus on developing a high-end compact camera, later on, they can also use the same enhanced communication tech to their RF-Mount in near future if Lenses become more and more sophisticated and demands more power and data.
Overview of the Camera System:
- The optical device 500 is shown as part of a camera system 1000, which includes a camera body 600 and an interchangeable lens. In a fixed-lens camera, the optical device 500 is integrated.
Key Components of the Optical Device:
- The optical device 500 consists of a lens optical system 100, a main circuit board 2, a sub-circuit board 3, and a lens barrel 400.
- The lens optical system 100 includes multiple lenses aligned along an optical axis (OA).
- The circuit module 1, which houses the main and sub-circuit boards, is fixed within the lens barrel 400.
What does the Patent Says
- The text primarily discusses the optical device (500) in a camera system (1000), which can be either an interchangeable lens or a fixed lens. It mentions that while the example shows an interchangeable lens, the system is equally applicable to a fixed lens camera setup.
In a fixed lens camera, the optical device 500 is integrated and not removable from the camera body. The connection mechanisms (510 and 610) used for attaching lenses in interchangeable systems can be omitted in fixed lens setups.
Summary of the Patent
- The more sophisticated the lens becomes it demands more and more data and power (e.g., with advanced image stabilization, autofocus motors, etc. ), the more electronic connections are needed to handle the increased data and power requirements.
- So, increasing the number of electronic contacts in the mount (for interchangeable lenses) or within the fixed lens system can improve performance and reliability.

We all know that Canon is in partnership with Apple, as they are making special spatial Lenses for their Apple Vision PRO, and their content can be directly used on Apple iPhone platforms and the VR headset for augmented reality purposes.
But no, Canon is not behind in the process of its virtual reality headset development program. They have silently announced the VR headset named MREAL X1, and now it looks like they are preparing to announce the second generation of the X2 VR headset.
First Impression
When we had this patent first, we thought that Canon was working on MREAL X2, But, after reading the document we have found that it’s a advanced type of electronic binocular telescope, especially one that can be worn like a head-mounted display.
Now the rear design of the same
Canon Patent Details
- The device is like a pair of binoculars with a camera and displays placed in front of your eyes.
- You can also record your video with a press of a button on the TOP RIGHT side of binoculars, plus a ZOOM TOUCH BAR, like the TOUCH BAR we have seen in the Canon EOS R camera
- Enhanced ACTIVE Subject Tracking by AI Chip, Once you have used AF LOCK on the subject the binoculars camera will TRACK automatically without making unnecessary head movements
- It uses sensors to detect the direction of your head and the direction your eyes are looking (line of sight).
- The problem with current devices is that even small head movements can shift the viewing area too much, especially when zoomed in. This can be uncomfortable for users.
- The invention solves this by deciding when to adjust the view based on head movements and when to keep it stable, making the experience feel more like looking with your natural eyes.
In short, it’s a smart system that makes viewing through these electronic binoculars smoother and more comfortable, minimizing unnecessary shifts in the image.

There is always a big challenge to manage the heat dissipation of the sensor when the sensor is floating, meaning when it is placed on an IBIS mechanism.
Canon has finally found a way to dissipate the heat from a floating sensor by introducing a breakthrough technology,. As you can see in the image, the coil structure represented in red is dissipating heat from the IBIS mechanism of the floating sensor by connecting it to the camera’s built-in heat dissipation system.
The “fixed part affixing region 302” is the part of the cooling structure attached to a fixed section inside the camera, specifically a plate at the back of the camera. This region helps secure the heat-dissipating member in place. It is designed to align with another movable region (304) when looking directly along the path that light travels through the camera (optical axis). The overall cooling structure connects these parts with flexible sections, allowing the camera’s moving parts to function smoothly while also helping to cool the imaging sensor effectively.

So Canon is working on a new speed booster adapter for their APS-C and full-frame range of mirrorless cameras. We do know they already have a 0.71x Speed Booster adapter, which was announced alongside their C70 camera, but since it’s too costly, it is out of reach for many people.
New updated patent documents show that they are actively working on a speed booster adapter that has a more compact design and is compatible with APS-C and full-frame format cameras. So, we expect this kind of adapter to arrive in the next year or two with an affordable price tag.

Canon has registered a PATENT, a Camera that is VERY similar to the DJI Osmo Pocket Creator Kit. The design, display screen, and camera position look almost very identical.
Publication number: P2024112386, Patent publication date: 2024-08-21, Patent name: Photographic equipment, Patent application date: 2023-02-08.
I have a big fear that if Canon announces such a camera, they may face legal trouble for copying the exact design of an existing camera. Although I am not a legal expert, it appears to be very similar—approximately 95%—to the DJI Osmo Pocket Creator Kit.
Canon has been working on multiple sets of vlogging cameras for the past few years. This is not the first time Canon has explored out-of-the-box solutions. Three years ago, they published a series of patents that included a gimbal camera design with an interchangeable lens mount and a unique and innovative complex vlogging camera with a very flexible display screen.
When might it come out?
Generally, a patent typically takes two to three years to become a real product if the camera maker or any company is seriously working on it. So, we might expect such a camera to arrive sometime in late 2026 or early 2027.

List of APS-C Camera published by rumor mill that we may see in the year 2025, now in 2024, we have seen some amazing full-frame camera announcements, but yeah, we are still waiting for the updates on major APS-C models that include the Canon R7 as well as the Canon R10. So let’s discuss the set of possible updates that we may see next year.
So the list starts with the Canon R7 Mark II camera. We already have the Canon R7 camera with a 32.5 MP sensor, but the rumor mill expects a 32.5 MP stacked CMOS sensor inside the upcoming Canon R7 Mk II. BTW, if ur a reader of our website you have noticed that we have already discussed the spec sheet of the upcoming Canon R7 Mark II camera, Let’s see again the particular specs that we expect to be inside the upcoming R7 Mark II camera below. If you wish to know more, click here.
Canon R7 Mark II Specification [Expectations ]
- 32.5MP Stacked APS-C CMOS Sensor
- Dual Pixel CMOS AF II
- 4K 120p 10-Bit Video, HDR-PQ & C-Log 3
- External 6K ProRes RAW Recording
- 40 fps E. Shutter, 15 fps Mech. Shutter
- Sensor-Shift 5-Axis Image Stabilization
- 3.69 m-Dot OLED EVF
- 1.6m-Dot Vari-Angle Touchscreen LCD
- Sensor-Shift 5-Axis Image Stabilization
- Dual UHS-II Memory Card Slots
- Multi-Function Shoe, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
The next camera that the rumor mill discusses is the Canon R10 Mark II camera. Although we were expecting the arrival of the Canon R10 Mark II camera in Aug -Sep 2024. Even rumor mills expect that the same 32.5 MP sensor that we have seen in the Canon R7 body will arrive inside the R10 Mark II body. Again, this is not something new, we have already published the set of specs that we expect from the Canon R10 mark II camera
Canon R10 Mark II Rumored Specification
- 32.5MP APS-C CMOS Sensor
- Dual Pixel CMOS AF II
- 4K60 10-Bit Video, HDR-PQ (NO lOG)
- 15 fps Mech. Shutter
- 2.36m-Dot OLED EVF
- 1.6m-Dot Vari-Angle Touchscreen LCD
- Sensor-Shift 5-Axis Image Stabilization
- Single SD Card Slot
- Multi-Function Shoe, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth
The main reason why it should have a 32.5 MP sensor (non-stacked version) is the arrival of a 26 MP sensor inside, Sony’s ZV-E10 Mark II camera arrived with 26 MP BSI CMOS Sensor, as well as the arrival of a 40 MP sensor inside Fuji X-T50 Camera. You can see all the existing competitors scaling up their resolution, so if Canon fails to do so, they will surely face a big hit in their sales, which they are already experiencing, so again if they fail to do so, they will have to face the expected consequences.
Now, this is something unique, as we have not yet discussed the Canon R50 Mark II camera. Rumors suggest that we may see the Canon R50 Mark II camera next year (Aug- Sep 2024). Although they are not very specific about the specs of the R50 Mark II camera. Now, what we are expecting right now is a smooth transition of Canon R10 specs inside the Canon R50 Mark II next year, and similarly, the R7 specs will have a smooth transition inside the R7 Mark II. That’s how the industry works, and that’s what we should see next year.
Canon R50 Mark II Expected Core Specification
- 24.2MP APS-C CMOS Sensor
- Dual Pixel CMOS AF II
- 4K30 Video, 4K60 with Crop; HDR-PQ
- 1.04m-Dot Vari-Angle Touchscreen LCD
- Multi-Function Shoe, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
The next rumor we are getting is about the Canon R200 camera. Again, Canon can’t announce the R200, instead, they will pick the R100 Mark II name, a. But even before that, we are expecting the arrival of the Canon V100 camera, which is a bit more vlogging-centric and without an electronic viewfinder. So that’s what we are expecting right now from Canon. It will be very interesting to see what Canon unfolds in front of us in the upcoming months, as we are eagerly waiting with high curiosity to see what’s coming next.
