What to expect from Canon before Photokina 2018?

 

Photokina 2018 will start on Wednesday, September 26. So, what can we expect from Canon ahead of Photokina 2018?

Here are the confirmed announcements before Photokina 2018:

• Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS III USM Lens
• Canon EF-M 32mm f/1.4 STM Lens
• A Second “big white lens”
• A new video camera body

In addition, Canon is now working hard on the mirrorless cameras, so maybe Canon will unveil the Canon EOS M5 Mark II or Canon Full Frame Mirrorless Camera around Photokina 2018.

Here are the cameras rumored to be announced ahead of Photokina 2018:

• Canon EOS M5 Mark II
• Canon Full Frame Mirrorless Camera (probably a development announcement)

Photokina 2018 is just more than one month away, and I believe there will be some leaked information even before the event. Stay tuned for more info.
