After years of watching Sony and Panasonic make Canon eat its lunch in the mirrorless game, Canon quietly announced the EOS Ra. This new mirrorless camera will utilize the slowly-growing RF lineup of lenses plus EF and EF-S, and will target “the needs of astrophotographers”
“Finally! A Very expensive Mirrorles Camera That’s suitable for only one use.”

Let’s keep a close eye on this one.
