Over the past few months, we have reported that Canon will launch three new mirrorless R series cameras, a rumored macro lens, and even an APS-C camera in 2025. While we haven't heard much from the company since the announcement of EOS R1 and EOS R5 II, there is still hope that the company is working on devices that will help photographers further.
