Sony rumors claim from a "rock-solid" source it's the C50, a full frame FX3 killer with R5ii sensor. If true that would basically be the R5C mk2 in an FX type body. Also Nikon is supposed to drop Nikon ZR the following day. What a time to be alive!

Definitely a C line camera!

I was considering pulling the trigger on a used R50V (actually being sold by the guy who does the Camera Conspiracies channel) all weekend long - then I seen the Canon USA post on IG. If it is indeed a C50 then I believe it would be the final cam I need to complete my A/B/C trifecta and ride out into the sunset.

Cue all those who recently made, ‘Why I moved to Lumix’ pieces on YouRube gushing over the S1II, scrabbling for a piece of the Canon pie. Or Nikon pie. There’s 24 hours between the two so plenty of time to choose which ship to jump to next.

"Why I jumped to Canon"

What a time to be alive!

You can extract pure Copium element under SAR comment section. How these people forget Canon owns 50% of the market? Of course they can and will make competitive camera.

Man I might have to pause jumping all in on Lumix with this one, especially if there is also APSC version coming soon.

C50 and maybe C30 (APSC version) will make my R5C and V1 more complete

Make yer bed and lie in it man!

But seriously, this was always going to happen.

Lumix has been on a roll in 2025, but Canon and Nikon were of course cooking something up in the background just as Sony is and sure as night follows day, today's news is tomorrow's fish & chips wrapper.

Except the tools of course do not instantly become junk.

I made my own decision knowing that it was almost certain no matter what Canon did, I'd never go there but Sony or Nikon could have been a very valid option.

Not quite as they were or are, - too many 'missing' elements for me with Nikon, but the most likely to resolve those, possibly/probably with the ZR, - we will find out.

Sony would have been the most likely as things stood a few months back, having 3 great lenses and I could have made an all FX-30 line up work.

So personally, intrigued/interested in what will come and I may have some envious eyes in some regards, but I really do need stability myself now in this department after spending years of chasing the holy grail of one man band full hybrid capability.

Will other kit surpass what I have? For sure... Maybe not this year but certainly by next year and no question by 2027, but my primary focus is now firmly on the creative side. It always was, but was constantly distracted and hampered by kit and logistics and now that has been removed...

But for anyone already with at least a foot in the Canon camp, of course it makes sense!
