The idea of a retro-style mirrorless camera from Canon, similar to Nikon’s Z fc and Fujifilm’s X-series, has intrigued many camera enthusiasts. While this concept is based on speculation and rumors at this stage, it’s an interesting possibility.
Canon’s iconic 35mm film SLR, the Canon AE-1, is a prime candidate for a retro-inspired mirrorless camera. Its classic black faux leather body and silver top plate would align with the design language seen in cameras like the Nikon Z fc and Fujifilm X-T30 II. Alternatively, Canon could draw inspiration from other classic models like the Canon FTb or Canon EF.
