Canon has a major mirrorless event in mid May. Something big to be announced?

Our trusted sources told us that Canon invited them to a major event in mid May. This includes a flight and a stay in a luxury hotel. Canon told them this event is related to the mirrorless system and specifically to the Canon EOS-M50.

So here the facts do end. And the speculation goes wild for the following reasons:

  1. The sources told us many people were invited and many of them got a Canon invitation for the very first time! Quite an effort for an EOS-M50.
  2. Canon is creating such a big event to talk about a camera that was announced three months ago?

We have no reliable info yet but everyone here is thinking there must be more than just a 2 days talk about the EOS-M50. What if Canon will take the chance to finally announce a FF mirrorless? Just speculation for now but I hope to get some more info soon!

Tomorrow Fuji has (again) a new product announcement. Fujirumors says the new GF 250mm f/4.0 lens will be priced at around $3,500. And they also got a first impression by a source:

“Performance is top notch, on camera and zooming in it’s as sharp as the 110mm, super sharp! AF speed was very good, same as the 120mm macro and there wasn’t many light available. The image stabilizer is impressive, I was shooting iso1600 1/40 of a sec f4 handheld with amazing results”

Nokishita also leaked the images of the two new macro extension tubes:
