Canon USA has published a placeholder announcing a YouTube live broadcast on July 17 at 6AM Eastern time, 3AM Pacific time (11AM in the UK and Midday in mainland Europe, for those of us outside the US).
"Something Big is Coming" is the only hint as to what it'll be. Which is enough to mean my brain will be singing "Something's Coming" from West Side Story at me for the rest of the morning.
The other thing it does is remind me that Canon said earlier this year that it was developing an EOS R1. Back in May its timelines were vague, with the only detail being that it would be released in 2024, so we can't be 100% certain.
But the company also said it was already "working on field tests for this camera," and that it planned to "support capturing definitive and impactful moments at international sporting events to be held in the future. "
And, given the Euros and Copa America are over, and the Tour de France has less than a week left to run, it's difficult not to look beyond an 'international sporting event' starting in Paris at the end of this month.
"Could be, who knows. . ?"
