How to watch the Canon event live today? Are the new EOS R5 details coming?
Canon is hosting a live event today that will include announcements about streaming products and movies, and could include more details about the highly anticipated Canon EOS R5. Canon's virtual press conference will begin at 10amPT / 1pmEDT / 6pm BST, which is 3amEST on April 21. Given that the event will be hosted on Canon's 'Professional Video Solutions' page, it's fair to assume that a lot will be concerned with film cameras, and previous Canon Rumors speculation has suggested that it would include a new EOS C300 Mark III for professional filmmakers. . But as we've already speculated, there may be news on the EOS R5 as well, as it will have professional video powers, including the ability to shoot 8K footage. Today's event announcement came less than 24 hours after Canon Rumors announced that the company would not be delaying the launch of the EOS R5, so we hope this allows us to get some more official information on the versatile mirrorless. , even when it was released. There are still plenty of details we don't know about the video specs for the EOS R5, including the types of codecs it will offer and the modes that will benefit from Dual Pixel autofocus. So we're definitely going to be listening to see if Canon steers away from what should be one of the most exciting cameras of the year.

How to watch the Canon event live

To watch Canon's Virtual Press Conference, you'll need to head over to the official page from 10am PT / 1pm EDT / 6pm BST or 3am AEST on April 21. Canon says you won't need to log in, so you can sit back and watch the live stream from there. We expect the conference to contain a lot of talk about new cinema and broadcast equipment, which Canon originally announced at the canceled NAB 2020 show in Las Vegas. But if you're more of a semi-professional or hobbyist filmmaker, it might be worth sticking around in case Canon really spills some extra advantages over the EOS R5's video powers. We'll be reporting on the event as well, so be sure to check back here to reflect on the announcements.
