There may be life on the planet named Canon! CanonWatch spotted that camera list on the Canon France website. It displays a yet non-existing “Compacts 24×36? camera option. There will be a Canon announcement next week do we can hope a miracle happens and Canon may introduce the first Sony RX1/RX1R competitor!
UPDATE: Nope, Canon can’t do miracles. Our reader Pnada89 (Thanks!) noticed that on the french site “Compacts 24×36” usually stands for the analog 135 film cameras.

Is it really a surprise?
Sony didn’t hide it’s success with RX1 and due to the fixed Lens, the marked is hardly saturated. I guess some people out there would like a compact FF with and L zoom, tele or WA for instance.
Hopefully these cameras bring an end to the FF-premium price some day. Maybe by 2020 or so.
Miracles don´t happen in Canon:-).
“Compacts 24*36” stands for old analog (135 film) cameras.

The words “plein format”or “full frame” are used for 6D and 5D mk iii, rather than “35 mm”. “Plein cadre” is another word used by Canon for their FF lenses.
What was the last miracle from Canon? The sluggish AF from EOS-M?
a new film camera??? this is something to look forward to 🙂
will there be any update here? it might be mirrorless. nudge nudge 😉
Let’s hope that next week announcement will not only concern EOS 7D but more product releases…
Admin, before spreading such obviously false rumors even further, could you please double check such “rumors”? This post is a shame for all rumor sites!
Ethical Standard? This is about cameras not life and death.
Guys, you really take the deal too seriously, this is a web site for “rumors”. i.e. it is for fun. Most of people (readers) comming here to spot on new potential stuff and do a little bit of camera porn.
Please be forgiving, patient and most important: have fun.
