What to expect next from Canon ? In this 2022 version, you’ll get the latest news and rumors in one place for the upcoming Canon DSLR and mirrorless cameras as well as new lenses.

As you might have heard that it is confirmed by a Canon executive that the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III will be the last DSLR from Canon. Canon will end the development and production of its DSLR cameras, including the flagships, by transforming manufacturing to produce mirrorless systems only. So this 2022 edition of upcoming Canon Cameras will mostly include full frame mirrorless system related news. However we also have some rumors about Canon compact cameras too.

Here are some updated rumors about upcoming Canon cameras & lenses coming in 2022.

The Canon EOS R5c, a rumored update of the R5 that boasts a cooling system as not to overheat, will purportedly be released in Q1 2022.

The Canon EOS R5c is, according to perpetual leaks, a video-oriented version of the Canon EOS R5 with a number of upgrades – including an active cooling system for “unlimited 8K 30p”, the 21-pin Mult-Function Shoe debuted on the Canon EOS R3, a full-size HDMI port and the Canon Log 2 profile.
