Canon UK has posted a teaser on its Instagram account, saying that "something new is coming" and encouraging people to set a reminder to watch a YouTube livestream on September 9th at 3PM CEST (6AM PT / 9AM ET).
The teaser image is surprisingly revealing, showing what looks like a video-focused camera with a boxy design and potentially 1/4-20" mounting points on the top plate. It also clearly shows a red Record button in place of a shutter and a front-facing tally light.
The design is reminiscent of the EOS R50 V, an APS-C vlogging camera the company released earlier this year which featured a gimbal-friendly form-factor. However, given the several control points shown in the image and what looks to be a red-ring lens attached, it won't be surprising if this is a higher-end offering.
It's also worth noting that the announcement is set right before the start of the IBC (International Broadcasting Convention) trade show, where we typically get a look at company's video-focused offerings.
Whatever Canon has planned, it sounds like we won't have to wait that long to get more details.
