The Canon EOS M5 Mark II and EOS M6 Mark II Are Coming in 2019

Rumor has it that Canon might announce two new Canon EOS M cameras in 2019.

We can confirm this. As we wrote before, the Canon EOS M5 and Canon EOS M6 are scheduled to be replaced. We know from different sources that we will see a Canon EOS M5 Mark II and a Canon EOS M6 Mark II in 2019.

Most likely the EOS M5 Mark II will be announced first. We are not yet sure if it will be announced before Photokina 2019 (May 2019) but various hints point to Q1 2019 for the announcement.

It’s also rumored that the Canon EOS M5 Mark II (all rumors) will sport 4K video with Dual Pixel Auto-Focus, something we definitely hope to see.

Canon is continuously expanding their EOS M system, and there is no doubt the EOS M system is here to stay. Rumors about a Canon EOS R with APS-C sensor shouldn’t keep you awake at night. This will not happen. Btw, the Canon EOS M50 is the best selling mirrorless camera in Japan. I just wish Canon would be a bit quicker when it comes to new lenses. That’s something they may learn from Fuji and their excellent lens ecosystem.

Despite still having a rather limited lens offering for the EOS M system, it’s clear that the company believes in it. The latest lens for the system is the Canon EF-M 32mm f/1.4 STM.

The Canon EOS M5 Mark II will be announced ahead of Photokina 2018

We got confirmation from a good source that Canon will announce the second iteration of the EOS M5, that’s the Canon EOS M5 Mark II, ahead of Photokina 2018 (which happens in September).

Not really news here, I get it, we told you before. However, it’s always good to have one more suggestion when it comes to rumors. This is not the first hint we got about the EOS M5 Mark II and its announcement.

The Canon EOS M5 Mark II most likely will have a 28MP sensor. Besides this, so far we only know what has to be considered obvious: 4K video, DIGIC 8 CPU etc.

We expect first specification leaks in the next weeks, and first images of the EOS M5 Mark II in August. It’s 10 weeks to Photokina 2o18.

We expect Canon to also announce a new prime lens for the EOS M system.

Stay tuned…

Nokishita posted an updated list of unreleased Canon gear along with some speculation about the camera models and announcement date.

According to Nokishita’s list, there are two full frame mirrorless cameras scheduled to be released. At least one of the FF MILC might have 30MP sensor. Some of the information we got last week gets confirmed by Nokishita, in particular the possible announcement dates that have previously been suggested to us.

  • K424 (most likely Canon’s upcoming full frame mirrorless camera)
  • Full frame mirrorless camera
  • Wi-Fi · Bluetooth installed
  • Not compatible with smartphone’s Bluetooth remote control function

  • Announcement in late 2018 to early 2019
  • K433 (one more full frame MILC?)
  • mirrorless camera
  • Probably full frame (not APS-C)
  • Wi-Fi · Bluetooth installed
  • Compatible with smartphone’s Bluetooth remote control function
  • Probably released in 2019

Announcement dates are still speculation. Canon might announce the highly anticipated full frame mirrorless camera for Photokina 2018 (September) but an announcement in Q1 2019 is also possible. The only camera we are reasonably sure it will be announced for Photokina 2018 is the Canon EOS M5 Mark II.
