Canon is hosting a new product livestream announcement on 4/20 at 1pm EST. They plan to unveil new products, and are hosting the livestream in an effort to do so safely. The confirmation of this virtual press conference came shortly after Canon confirmed the EOS R5 and EOS R6 would not be delayed.
Canon New Product Livestream
The virtual press conference is expected to be the release of products that were going to be unveiled at the now-canceled NAB show. Rumors have circulated that this will include the EOS R5 8K camera. However, it isn't expected that the EOS R6 will be announced during this Canon new product livestream.
"With respect to those working diligently to contain the effects of this virus, and those documenting the stories, and fulfilling the public’s need for news and information, Canon has decided to move forward with the introduction of new products and technologies that will continue to bring us the stories of triumph, hope and humanity." -Canon, U.S.A.
There is no registration required to attend this virtual press conference.
