Canon working on 8k compacts prototypes? DPReview conducted an interview with Canon Go Tokura, Chief Executive, Image Communication Business Operations at Canon. The interview shows he is heavily restricted by an NDA to answer any questions with anything beyond standard replies or marketing talk. But some clues slip through between the lines here and there which are interesting.
Major parts of the interview
1. Canon R3 does oversample 4K video capture
2. Canon still consider EOS-1D X Mark III as their flagship camera over the Canon EOS R3
3. More affordable telephoto lenses are coming in RF mount like RF 800mm and RF 600mm
4. Yes Canon is working on Quad pixel AF technology (patent published here)
5. about R5 and R6 sales – we did not manufacture enough units to satisfy all of our customers,
6. Canon working on 8k Compact Solution for the future – we believe that the development of compact devices supporting 8K is a very high priority for us.
7. Canon will continue the entry-level DSLR lineup line as per demand (We will continue to provide a wide range of products to meet the diverse needs of markets in different countries and regions.)
8. About APS-C RF Mount camera – We will listen to customers’ opinions and consider possible options. That’s how someone says YES under NDA.

Canon 8K camera development announcement was done by Canon back on September 2015. 4 years almost passed and still we don’t have the official announcement yet. As usual Canon always do a very extensive testing of their products before they make it official.
Now we have spotted again the Canon 8K cinema camera, in an apple WWDC event (Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference) to introduce the new MacPro, Pro Display XDR and Pro Stand. The camera name most ptobably is Cinema EOS C300 Mark III.
To demonstrate the video editing capability of new MacPro Camera Apple was using the same unreleased Canon 8K camera. Which is still under development cycle. The camera was used to capture 4:4:4 ProRes 8K RAW.
