There's a hole in Canon's rumored camera lineup for 2023.
What it hasn't yet done is treat those new cameras to a range of native APS-C lenses. Right now, there are still only two RF-S lenses for those cameras, an 18-45mm kit lens and an 18-150mm zoom. The rumored launch of three further APS-C cameras in 2023 suggests Canon is planning to address that situation next year. But all of that would take time and resource away from a potential Canon EOS RP successor.
But the other possibility is simply that the rumored Canon EOS R8 will have a full-frame sensor rather than an APS-C one. Canon Rumors' most recent post stated that the EOS R8 "will likely be APS-C", but its previous rumors have suggested otherwise – and that's what those dreaming of a Canon EOS RP successor will be hoping., based on a sketchy post on Chinese social network Weibo, suggested that there would soon be"a full-frame camera below the Canon EOS R6".
The leaked specs – which included a 30.3MP full-frame sensor, Digic X processor and dual card slots – actually hinted at a camera that was more like a Canon EOS R successor, than a new Canon EOS RP. And it's possible they were simply an incorrect prediction of what ultimately became theThe Nikon Z5 continues to offer excellent value for a full-frame camera, but Canon doesn't have a real alternative in its current lineup.
Either way, significant doubts remain about exactly what kind of camera the Canon EOS R8 will be. Anyone looking for a full-frame bargain can still buy the for £989 / $999 / AU$1,299, but given it's approaching its fourth birthday, there are now better options.
