It appears the Canon EOS R1 is definitely in the hands of select photographers, undergoing field testing.
Two more images that allegedly depict the upcoming Canon EOS R1 have leaked over the Internet (via camerawerk). Here they are:
A set of four pictures emerged from the Interweb. They show a camera that might be the upcoming Canon EOS R1.
The images never show the moniker of the camera, and it seems this is on purpose. It’s all a bit fishy, so take it with a grain of salt. A big one. The pictures were allegedly taken at the GP of Monaco.
Here are the images:

It seems Adorama jumped the gun too early and published the specifications of the upcoming Canon EOS R1.
The page has been taken down, but PetaPixel was able to capture a screenshot, see below.
And these are the specs:
And here is the entire screenshot:
Canon registered four products that have not yet been announced. All four refer to video gear, according to a blogger from Cina.
Usually well informed Weibo user E8M_8888 posted the list of the registration IDs:
Now the funny part. E8M_8888 writes (machine translated):
Some influential overseas entry stations form a unique point of view in order to snatch information without knowing the history of Canon products and then making a conclusion. Here I want to correct it: ID sequence registration information is all video products.
If you wonder what or who the “influential overseas entry stations” are, it’s the well known hysterical rumor sites we all know š. According to E8M_8888 they are all wrong in their speculations: all four IDs refer to video gear. The products have been registered at a WiFi registration authority.
Time will tell. In the meantime forget rumors and go out snapping photos.
Latest murmuring from usually well informed Asian sources suggest that Canon might have already put some new gear into the hands of selected photographers. Field tests, so to say.
A rumor surfaced on Weibo suggests:
[…] that Canon’s marketing department has begun training on the new product today to make final preparations for the upcoming release.According to previous rumors, Canon’s new product EOS R5 Mark II, EOS R1 camera and RF 35mm F1.4L lens will be announced on May 21-23, and the R1 may be announced in development.
We think this rumor has a high likelihood to be reliable. But then: who knows.
Don’t waste time with rumors; take your camera and go out snapping pictures.

This is a new one: rumors about shipping of a camera that has yet to be announced (the EOS R5 Mark II).
Latest has it that the Canon EOS R5 Mark II will start shipping around June or July 2024. The rumores announcement date was late April or early May 2024.
The source of the rumor thinks…:
[…] a May announcement will make the most sense. There are a few things that happen before a major launch and the timeline they follow has been relatively similar for years. We can’t expand on that.We have also been told from a retail source, that they are preparing for theĀ EOS R5 Mark IIĀ to begin shipping in late June/July of this year.
Another source claims that production of theĀ EOS R5 Mark IIĀ has begun, how far into the production process they are is unknown at this time.
Take it with a grain of salt, and spend your time snapping pictures.
