Canon USA have announced that they will be holding a livestream, or virtual press conference, on April 20th for their "new professional imaging products and technologies".

As April 20th is slap bang in the midle of the date range for this year's cancelled NAB show in Las Vegas, it's probably safe to assume that Canon will be focusing on their cine and camcorder product lines in the livestream, which will start at 1:00pm EDT (10:00am PDT) on Monday, April 20, 2020.

They may, however, spring a surprise and also formally announce all the details about the new Canon EOS R5 professional mirrorless camera, which we saw in person last month, as well as the much-rumoured EOS R6, said to be a more affordable step-down model from the R5.

We'll all need to tune in on April 20th to find out just exactly what Canon have up their virtual sleeves.
