As per the rumors that surfaced over the rumor mills the Canon R1 is delayed till 2024, well, it may or may not become true. TNC takes on recent rumors…
The old Olympics to Olympics flagship product announcement cycle has changed. In 2023 the Canon R1 will make an official presence among us, either in the form of development or its official announcement.
Canon EOS R1 isn’t a rumor actually, Canon has confirmed several times in interviews they are working on a flagship mirrorless camera. Earlier we expected that camera to arrive at the end of 2022, but its looks like the announcement are being delayed this time.
This is the set of most authentic information(s) we have related to the Canon EOS R1
45+ megapixels, 8K video recording at various framerates
and one more rumored specs
Met a fellow photographer today who “was” a Canon Explorer” and he just got back from Japan.
His exact words were, “I spoke to a friend of mine at Canon while I was in Japan and the R1 is shooting for 85MP at 24fps in RAW with over 15 stops of dynamic range,”.
Now we wait and see….. If he’s right or should I say his friend is right… That is exactly double the resolution of the 1DXMKIII and 40% more than the NIkon Z9.
As usual, a camera maker tests several prototypes before the final announcement of any flagship camera. These two sets of specs are the knowledge to us, let’s wait for further confirmation about the same
Canon R5 mark II camera expected to arrive before Q3 of 2023. The camera is rumored to feature a new 61 MP Fullframe BSI CMOS sensor developed by Canon. R5 Mark II camera also has the capability to record 8K Oversampled video up to 60FPS. With an advanced, heat sink unit the camera is able to record videos up to 4K 60p up to 60min without overheating and u can also record 4k videos @ 120fps. Take a look at the rumored specification of the upcoming Canon R5 Mark II camera.
The Canon R50 is said to be the true sensor of the Canon M50 Mark II and 200D Mark II cameras. As per the initial set of specifications we have the Canon R50 is actually a budget Canon R10 camera with a compact body similar to Sony ZV-E10 or Nikon Z30.
Canon EOS R100 Rumored specification
24.2MP APS-C CMOS Sensor (Same as Canon R10) (Confirmed)
4k 24, 30fps (Limited to 8 bit) (Confirmed)
No HDRPQ mode like Canon R10
14 FPS burst mode (un-Confirmed)
3.0″ 1.04m-Dot Vari-Angle Touchscreen (Confirmed)
Coming in Q1-Q2 2023
The initial set of rumors suggests Canon R10 will share the same 24MP Sensor as the Canon R50 Camera. But, we will have limitations in Video frame rates (No 4k 60fps) and limited burst Mode.
The camera is expected to arrive sometime in Q1 or Q2 of 2023.
4. Canon R7C
Canon R7C or Canon C7 ? – a compact cinema mirrorless camera with RF Mount and APS-C CMOS Sensor ? is a cheaper alternative to the Canon C70 and an FX30 perfect competitor ?, rumors start drooling out more and more after the announcement of the Sony FX30 camera.
So, we do have a high possibility, that we may have a Canon compact cinema camera like an FX30 camera, with a 32.5MP Dual gain Sensor including BNC Timecode and Mini-XLR Audio Inputs.
We do expect its announcement Q3/Q4 of 2023. Stay tuned we will publish more updates soon as it become available to us.
The Canon EOS R Mark II or Canon R8 ? the name of the camera isn’t confirmed yet, but both Canon R8 and R9 are reserved for Canon upcoming cameras and we do expect the EOS R Mark II will have an R8 Name.
Canon EOS R successor is yet to arrive with a redesigned 30.3MP Full-Frame CMOS DPAF 2 Sensor with updated processing for more improved AF, and impressive uncropped 4K videos.
More Rumored specs of Canon R8 / Canon EOS R Mark II
NEW 24 MP Sensor
DIGIC X Image Processor
AI AF Algo same as of Canon R3
Sensor shift IS up to 7.5 to 8 Stops
UHD 4K 30 FPS Oversampled and uncropped
UHD 4k 60 FPS Cropped [Uncropped optional]
Multi-Function Shoe, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth
Dual UHS-II Memory Card Slots
The Camera will arrive in the summer of 2023 if everything goes on schedule inside Canon.
6. Canon R5S
A very Less and unreliable set of information is available about the Canon R5S. Most likely the rumor is false.
7. Canon EOS Rp or Canon R9 Camera
Rumor mills are completely silent about the Canon Rp update, so as soon as we will get any information related to the Canon Rp update we will update here too.
8. Canon G7X Mark IV or something else…?
We have been told Canon will announce 1 compact camera next year, either we will have a Canon G7X Mark IV or a Canon G1X Mark IV. The camera will be more vloggers-centric with some sort of surprise inside it. That’s all information available about Canon compacts right now
9. Canon’s upcoming Lenses
List of Canon RF Mount lenses expected to arrive in the year 2023
The two cameras feature the latest X-Processor 5 engine and an APS-C sensor, but the specs of each are quite different from each other.
First, the X-H2 has 40.2MP, whereas the X-H2S has 26.1MP.
Finally, we have a Fuji X-T5 (XT series flagship camera) that uses the highest resolution sensor ever used in an APS-C Camera. Not only is it High resolution the sensor is made on BSI tech so you will also get a decent low-light performance from this sensor. The BEST part is, right now the X-T5 is the most affordable Fuji Camera to have a NEW 40MP BSI CMOS X-Trans APS-C sensor.
Now, the Fuji X-H2s is Fuji’s First model to feature a newly developed 26MP X-Trans STACKED sensor that is 3.6x faster than the single-layered BSI design in the X-T3 and 4. Now with the adoption of a Stacked CMOS sensor technology, the camera enjoys a significant speed boost sensor readout speed. The Major advantage we are getting in still part after having the new 26 MP Stacked CMOS sensor is it allows the camera to capture full-resolution images at up to 40 frames per second with full-time AF/AF support as well as you can capture 4K videos @ 120FPS.
Both of them use the new X-Processor PRO and the new X-Processor 5 is 65% faster than the previous generation of processors.
Fuji X-T5 a Best Budget 40MP Camera?
The Fuji X-T5 camera is the best budget camera with Fuji’s new 40MP sensor if ur limited to Wedding photography and fashion when you don’t need that much buffer and video. Then undoubtedly the best camera under budget is 40mp.

Faster sensor readout speed and Less resolution for better AF tracking
Fuji X-T5 uses a 40Mp non-stacked CMOS sensor, so sensor readout speed will be slow due to the absence of technology and also due to the higher resolution. So, if we talk about AF tracking and sensitivity despite having the same X-processor PRO inside them or maybe the same AI AF algorithms inside them, the Fuji X-H2s camera will do better object tracking compared to X-T5.

Fuji X-H2s Best Camera for wildlife and Sports Photography
AF speed may take a hit because the X-H2 can’t read out its sensor as fast as the ‘S’ model, though AF information usually comes from a faster, low-resolution readout, also the absence of Stacked tech.
Now, we have great news for those who love to do sports and wildlife, the camera is able to shoot up to 40FPS @ 26 MP [full resolution], yes we are talking about the Fuji X-H2s camera and not about the Fuji X-T5 with limited 15 FPS of burst mode and very limited buffer memory of 119 Jpeg.
Fuji X-H2s Buffer Memory Size
The Fuji X-H2s with the camera is able to shoot 184 JPEGs or 175 Raws at 40 fps and over 1000 JPEGs in 30fps or 15 fps modes, and 400 Raws at that lower speed.

No option to add an external fan to the new Fuji X-T5 camera
Best Cinema Camera the Fuji X-H2s
Why is Fuji X-H2s Considered to be a better cinema or video camera when both X-T5 and Z-H2S record MAX videos Res of 6.2K?
. The X-H2S can shoot 6.2K or 4K at up to 30p from 14-bit readout in its F-Log2 mode, the X-H2S uses an entire 26 MP sensor and u don’t have to face any crop till 4k 60fps mode. Additionally, the Fuji X-H2 supports external Fan input, so whenever you need an extra cooling mechanism for your camera you can use the external cooling fan.
In Fuji X-T5 we use a slower sensor that in turn will generate more heat and no option to cool down the camera, we don’t have any option to use an external fan with X-T5. Other than that if we talk about the video core specs, then the Fuji X-T5 camera does 4k, 24 & 30 fps oversampled readout with 1.22 x crop, and the camera uses pixel binning or line skipping algorithm while recording 4k 60fps.
In addition to internal H.264, H.265, and ProRes (422 HQ, 422 or 422 LT) capture, the X-H2S via its HDMI port can output a 6.2K or 4.8K Raw which can be further encoded as ProRes RAW by the Atomos Ninja V+ recorder or BRaw using a Blackmagic Video Assist 12G HDR.
Dual-Base ISO in Fuji X-H2s: We have high-gain and low-gain ISO circuits active while shooting a Flog2, with the help of Dual base ISO we will get more cleaner output compared to the conventional way of capturing videos.
The camera’s full-sized HDMI port conforms to v2.1 of the standard, meaning it can also output 4K/120p video in up to 10-bit 4:2:2.

Conclusion: If you only care about shooting still images under budget and don’t want to take ur self into wildlife or sports when u need a faster frame rate or more buffer then its better to settle with X-T5, if you are into professional cinema then undoubtedly the best camera is Fuji X-H2s camera.
Both of the Fuji Cameras feature the latest X-Processor 5 engine and a 5th-gen 40MP X-Trans BSI APS-C sensor, despite having the same sensor and image processor we do have some differences in the core specs of both cameras.

The difference in BASE ISO Range
So, with such a little difference in the base ISO range, we don’t expect much difference in the performance of both cameras. Yes, under LAB TEST results we may see some difference in DR due to the minor difference we have in the base ISO range, but in real-world usage, we won’t be able to spot any difference.
Buffer Limitation
Fuji X-T5 is able to save only 119 Jpeg in single bursts whereas the Fuji X-H2 camera is able to save up to 1000+ Jpeg in a single burst. CF CFexpress Type B also missing in the new X-T5.

Video Limitations of X-T5
The high resolution on the sensor allows the X-H2 to record 8K up to 30p (RAW available). You can also select 6.2K video up to 30p. In 4K, you can work up to 30p with oversampling from 8K, or up to 60p with sub-sampling. In Full HD, the frame rate goes up to 240p with the High-Speed mode. With the Fuji X-T5 camera, you can record Full HD Videos up to 240fps but the MAX Video resolution available here is 6.2K video up to 30p. Undoubtedly the X-H2 is a better video camera with more features compared to X-T5.
No External Fan Support in Fuji X-T5 Camera
If you live in a western country then it’s ok, but in Asian countries where the temp goes really high in the summer season, X-T5 is left with no option to add an external fan to the camera due to the introduction of a tilting screen.
The ports of the camera and display screen are more or less likely to be the same.

yes, u will have a very minimal difference in battery life. X-H2 Features a 720-shot battery life and X-T5 features a 740-shot battery life in ECO mode.
Conclusion: Which camera should you buy Fuji X-H2 or Fuji X-T5
Core specification wise we have very little difference between them and so on the price tag. If spending $200 extra on a camera body isn’t an issue for you, than its better to buy the Fuji X-H2 camera. Since u will get a slightly better base ISO range, Better EVF, and 8K video recording capability.
The Price of the Fuji X-T5 Camera is $1699 | €1999. According to the latest rumors coming from a trusted rumor mill, the Fuji X-T5 camera is coming on November 2nd, 2022. Take a look at the Major specification of the upcoming Fuji Camera.

We will post an update once the camera becomes official.
Finally, the Sony A7R V camera is now official, the camera features a 61MP sensor (it’s redesigned to perform better). The camera redefines Artificial intelligence and image processing power in Sony A7 series cameras. For the first time, a Sony A7 series camera is able to shoot 8K videos, (Yes we know the A1 series is capable of but 8k has been introduced for the first time in the A7 series via A75 ) Not only that the camera does full sensor readout so you will get HQ 4k videos up to 60fps from Sony A7R5 camera. The next big improvement is IBIS, for the first time a Sony A7 camera features IBIS up to 8 Stops, even the recently announced Sony A7 4 camera was limited to 5.5 Stops of IBIS.
Other upgrades include new 693 Phase AF points in the sensor for more precise AF tracking performance. (Sony A7R 4 was limited to 567 AF points). The addition of a new menu, as well as S-Cinetone picture profiles, finally arrived. AI-assisted auto WB, New pixel shift mode for handheld High Res images, and much more.
Overall the Sony A7R 5 camera arrived with a major update except for the sensor resolution. That is the only thing that disappointed me, everything else is a massive upgrade.
SAN DIEGO, CA – October 26, 2022 – Sony Electronics Inc. announced the Alpha 7R V (model ILCE-7RM5) as the newest R series camera in its acclaimed line of Alpha mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras. The Alpha 7R V combines Sony’s highest resolution image sensor with a new AI (artificial intelligence) processing unit dedicated to AI-based image recognition – a first in any Alpha camera – as well as the powerful BIONZ XR™ image processing engine – a first in the “R” full-frame lineup. The combination of the high-resolution sensor and these processors enables new breakthroughs in subject recognition and capture for both still photography and video.
The new Alpha 7R V offers 61.0MP still images plus the most effective 8-step[i] image stabilization system ever offered in any of Sony’s Alpha cameras, as well as refined 8K[ii] movie output, a new 4-axis multi-angle monitor, high-speed communication functions, high-level operability and smooth workflow integration. Sony’s newest camera is ideal for professionals who need a first-class high-resolution imaging tool.
“The newest addition to our Alpha 7R lineup is the perfect example of our relentless drive to develop industry-leading imaging technology,” said Yang Cheng, Vice President, Imaging Solutions, Sony Electronics Inc. “We are thrilled to introduce the all-new Alpha 7R V with high-resolution and extremely advanced AI integrations that deliver next-generation autofocus performance. We are excited to see what our community creates with the new Alpha 7R V.”
Improved AF Accuracy Based on Newly Developed AI Processing Unit
The Alpha 7R V features Real-time Recognition AF, which is next-generation AF with advanced accuracy and broader subject recognition thanks to a new AI (artificial intelligence) processing unit with deep learning. The state-of-the-art AI processing uses detailed information about human form and pose estimation to dramatically improve recognition accuracy beyond systems that only detect face and eye and make full use of its potential[iii]. Real-time Recognition AF, using AI subject recognition, has been developed to include several subject types, including animals, vehicles and insects[iv]. The Alpha 7R V also includes continuous shooting at up to 10 fps[v] with AF/AE tracking.
In addition to the advanced AI technology, the Alpha 7R V includes improvements to many beloved features from other cameras in Sony’s Alpha series that are now included for the first time in Sony’s 7R series:
Tenacious Real-time Tracking
Faster and more precise wide-area, high-density AF system
Silent, vibration-free shooting[vii] at up to 7 fps[viii]
Continuously shoot up to 583 compressed RAW images at high speed[ix]llio
The Alpha 7R V also includes focus features that support high resolution including full-time DMF[x] (direct manual focus), and focus bracketing[xi], a highly-requested capability that allows for focus stacked images.
Extraordinary Resolution Known to Sony’s Alpha 7R Series
The Alpha 7R V was designed to deliver overwhelming detail thanks to the latest BIONZ XR™ image processing engine and a 35mm full-frame back-illuminated Exmor R™ CMOS image sensor with approximately 61.0 effective megapixels. The latest BIONZ XR image processing engine ensures that the resolution potential of the camera’s sensor is fully utilized to deliver the highest resolution at low sensitivity in the Alpha series thus far. This enables sensitivity settings from ISO 100 to ISO 32000[xii] for both stills and movies and wide dynamic range with 15 stops[xiii] for stills.
The Alpha 7R V’s entire image stabilization system has been updated with a high-precision image stabilization unit, advanced gyro sensors, and optimized image stabilization algorithms for stills and video. In addition to the 8-step compensation effect for stills, the new stabilization algorithm provides precise detection and control right down to the single-pixel level, taking full advantage of the sensor’s 61.0-megapixel resolution potential to bring out the finest subject details. Sony’s newest camera also offers upgraded Pixel Shift Multi Shooting, which takes advantage of the precision in-body image stabilization system control, capturing multiple pixel-shifted images that are later composited using a computer to achieve overwhelming resolution in a single image. Using the latest version of Imaging Edge Desktop™ Ver.3.5 computer application, small pixel-level movements, such as a shift in the subject’s position or leaves on a tree, are automatically detected and corrected so that perfect compositing can be achieved[xiv]. 16-image composites with approximately 240.8 million pixels (19,008 x 12,672 pixels)[xv] can be produced from data that is equivalent to approximately 963.2 million pixels. The Alpha 7R V also supports precise and versatile external flash control for additional creative flexibility. Additionally, when in challenging lighting conditions the Alpha 7R V effectively suppresses flickering from artificial lights[xvi] for stills and video.
Additional features that offer flexibility for still photography includes:
Addition of Lossless RAW image compression and selectable RAW image sizes and quality
Greatly expanded focus and exposure bracketing
Creative Look settings for stills and videos in the camera
High-quality HEIF images with high compression efficiency
Wide brightness range for large-screen viewing.
Cinematic Video Capabilities
In addition to incredible still photography capabilities, the Alpha 7R V offers advanced video capabilities. Sony’s newest camera delivers 8Ki 24/25p video, 4K video oversampled from 6.2K without binning[xvii], a high-efficiency MPEG-H HEVC/H.265 codec, all intra recording, 10-bit 4:2:2 recording, and more for high image quality and flexible editing. It also includes evolved subject recognition for unprecedented real-time tracking reliability, breathing compensation and the ability to use camera metadata for post-processing and advanced in-body image stabilization. In addition to in-body Active mode[xviii] image stabilization for smoother on-the-go recording, the Alpha 7R V is compatible with select lenses[xix] that include built-in image stabilization for even more stable framing and smooth footage.
Operability and Reliability
The Alpha 7R V pairs outstanding reliability for professional needs in both stills and videos with a compact, lightweight form factor. The Alpha 7R V includes a new 4-axis multi-angle LCD monitor[xx] that combines the utility of a conventional tilting monitor with side-opening vari-angle flexibility, and an electronic viewfinder with 9.44 million dots. The Alpha 7R V also includes two CFexpress Type A/SDXC compatible media slots and a brand-new menu system with touch control and a wide range of customizable functions.
The Alpha 7R V also allows professionals to optimize their workflow with updated connectivity for improved support. Data can be transferred at high speed over Wi-Fi (802.11ac) 2×2 MIMO[xxi] or a wired SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps connection via a USB-C® port. In addition to allowing efficient remote shooting as well as still and movie file transfers, new USB streaming features support UVC/UAC, allowing direct streaming from the camera even in 4K (QFHD) resolution with audio as well.
Based on feedback from professionals, the Alpha 7R V includes improved heat dissipation for extended recording times[xxii], an upgraded dust and moisture resistant design[xxiii], a durable magnesium alloy chassis, and other refinements for maximum reliability in challenging working environments.
The Alpha 7R V is also compatible with the new PCK-LG3 Screen Protect Glass Sheet, which maintains touch sensitivity while protecting the LCD monitor against stains and fingerprints.
