According to recent rumors, Canon’s planned announcements for May 13 extend far beyond just Canon EOS R6 V camera body and the RF 20-50mm f/4L IS USM PZ lens. The company is expected to unveil a total of 8 to 10 SKUs (stock-keeping units) on that day.
These additional SKUs will include new bundles and accessories. A significant portion of the 8-10 SKUs will likely be made up of various kit configurations. For example, the EOS R6 V will be available as a kit with the new power zoom lens, which alone accounts for three SKUs to cover the camera body, the lens, and their combination.
Other rumored accessories set to launch on May 13 include:
-
A new wireless remote control, the BR-E2 .
-
New accessories for macro photography, reportedly including adapter rings for macro lighting that may be priced at a premium .
-
Several “video creator kits” are also expected to be announced, though specific details on which cameras or accessories these kits will include are not yet confirmed.
