Here is some additional information on the new Canon concept camera displayed at the 2026 CP+ show in Japan- I seriously doubt this concept will ever see the light of day, it’s just a marketing move to show relevancy (Canon likes to do this at trade shows):

The Canon concept camera, unveiled at the 2026 CP+ show in Japan, is a prototype inspired by vintage medium-format designs like Hasselblad, emphasizing a manual, analog-like shooting experience. It features two design variants: a retro angular style and a modern boxy one. Light enters via a fixed lens and is redirected by two mirrors—the first bounces it upward, the second projects it onto a special screen in the waist-level viewfinder, mimicking ground glass for a film-like texture with visible blur and bokeh. This screen-mediated system allows direct observation from above, with manual focus only. To shoot, operate a side lever: it switches the mirrors, redirecting light so the sensor captures the projected screen image (not the subject directly), producing a “clack” sound and achieving diffusion for a realistic, film-emulating result. The prototype uses a 1-inch, 6MP sensor; images are reviewed on a rear flip-up LCD. No autofocus or interchangeability; includes basic controls and USB-C. This is all we know so far

The upcoming Viltrox 35mm f/1.8 EVO and Viltrox 55mm f/1.8 EVO full-frame lenses will both be APO designs.  An apochromatic lens (APO) has better correction of chromatic and spherical aberration than the much more common achromat lenses. The lenses will have a 58mm filter thread, close-focusing distances of 0.34m and 0.43m, respectively, and will be available for Sony E, Nikon Z, and Leica L mounts.

Check the official website for updates.
