Canon EOS R, Rp and M50 Mark II – Mirrorless Cameras of 2022

The market for professional photography equipment will be replenished with three new models from the Japanese brand Canon. Starting from 2021, the manufacturer shifted to mirrorless technology. Photographers worldwide have responded positively to this decision. Understandably, the prices of the new models (Canon EOS R, Rp, and M50 Mark II) will be quite high for the average consumer. However, functionality comparable to any modern smartphone can suffice in the budget segment.

Fans of the brand are disappointed by the lack of information about the Canon EOS R7 and Canon EOS R6 Mark II cameras. These are the models everyone expected to see on the market in 2022. Notably, there is no mention of them even on Canon’s official website.

The series of three cameras—Canon EOS R, Rp, and M50 Mark II—are full-frame solutions aimed at three segments: Premium, semi-professional, and amateur. The manufacturer will focus all its attention on them. A new telephoto lens with an F/2.0 aperture and a 130mm focus length has even been patented for them. It is expected that we will get a highly compact lens with the most demanded technical specifications.

In general, it is too early to talk about the specifications of the new models. Canon has chosen not to share details until the official presentation. This is related to actions by competitors from Nikon, who are actively promoting their series of cameras marked with “Z”. It seems that this year will see a serious battle of titans for consumers. And that’s good – competition among manufacturers affects prices, making them more accessible across all segments.
