Canon sends out invitation for major mirrorless announcement

According to CR, Canon has sent out an elaborate invitation to a new mirrorless camera coming out next month to dealers and VIP's.

On the surface this no longer sounds like the M50 is simply a camera in between the M100 and M6 which some have been suggesting.

Interestingly enough, Canon shows an M6 camera body, however, without showing the sensor, they left that blank.

Could Canon be placing a full frame sensor in an M5/M6 styled camera body?

CR states;

We’ve been told that Canon is sending out “very elaborate” invites to select dealers and VIPs for a mirrorless camera announcement next month.

The invitation was described as being very high end, printed on heavy glossy paper and showing a silhouette of a camera shaped like the EOS M6 with a hole cut out where the sensor would be.

Apparently only CEOs and higher-ups are allowed to go to the presentation, no sales people are permitted.

I would say all of this would point to Canon announcing something more than just another entry level APS-C shooter.

Canon to release two new EF-M lenses this year? Looks like Canon is finally joining the 4K train. G7X Mark III leaked. Edit: Maybe.
