Been wanting to get your hands on the very first Full Frame Canon mirrorless camera, it might be better to put it off for until early 2019 at least. This is because a Mirrorless Rumors report cited a new Canon patent for a sensor stabilization system that we might see in the future units of the Canon EOS-R.

Canon Watch Blog has recently reported of Japanese patent application 2018-54913 which describes an articulating touchscreen that can be flipped in various directions. Part of the patent claims that the flip screen mechanism, which the illustration shows to be for mirrorless cameras, will also feature a smaller size. thephoblographer.com »

In this patent application (2024-111453), Canon explores the super telephoto zooms that ended up with the Canon RF 200-800mm f/6.3-9 IS USM. However, there are some other interesting designs in here worth exploring so let's go through them and you'll have to tell me if Canon should have gone for broke and made a 200-1000mm. [...] Source
At first, when I was writing up this patent application (2024-082112), I was leaning toward what others are mentioning on the internet that these are for ILC (interchangeable lens cameras) but after reading more, and looking at the back focus distances involved, I think it's more likely that these are for a compact rangefinder styled [...] Source
In this patent application (2024-078721), Canon is showing off some embodiments of some smaller standard F2. 8 zooms. While at first glance, this seems unlikely we should also keep in mind that Tamron's smaller 28-70 F2.
In this patent application (2024-076793), Canon shows off some embodiments of some lenses with internal zoom and focusing. The first embodiment that I'm going to talk about is a constant 60mm in lens length and a constant F4 aperture 12-30mm lens.
This is an intriguing patent application (2024-074321) because there are a few different embodiments that deserve a closer look than I originally thought reading through it. First, the 20-60mm F2. 8 would cover a lot of focal length bases for me.
In this patent application (2024-073200) Canon is looking at improving the racking of the lens from near to far to find focus quicker. As you may be aware, major defocus happens when the contrast is too far out of focus that it's just soft with no visible contrast. When this happens, it's nearly impossible for [...]
In this patent application (2024-072582) Canon discusses improving the magnets that drive the motors on various lenses that attach to the camera. This is to prevent the magnetic flux from causing image artifacts especially at high ISO when the sensor is operating at a extremely high level of amplification and thus, sensitivity. I seem to [...]
