The Canon EOS R5 Mark II Might Get Announced Before The EOS R1

A new rumor surfaced from the interweb of rumor mills. A bit strange, though. The Canon EOS R5 Mark II might get announced before the long rumored EOS R1.

The source of the rumor states that the Canon EOS R5 Mark II…:

[…] will likely arrive before the Canon EOS R1

The rumored specifications for the Canon EOS R5 Mark II are these:

• New 61MP CMOS BSI sensor
• Dual DIGIC X processor
• 30 FPS electronic shutter with tracking / 12 FPS mechanical shutter
• Same 8-stop IBIS
• New High Resolution mode similar to pixel shift shooting found on Sony/Fujifilm
• 2x/4x/8x digital tele-convertor
• Same Dual Pixel CMOS AF II from EOS R3 and EOS R6 Mark II
• Internal 8K 60p video recording (8K RAW video spec to be confirmed)
• Internal 4K 30p/60p/120p video recording (all by oversampling)
• FHD 240p video recording
• Focus breathing correction for video
• New overheat prevention design similar to EOS R6 Mark II, at least 40min for 8K video, and over
• 60 min for 4K video
• Dual CFexpress type B card slot
• Standard HDMI port
• Dual USB-C port
• 9.44M-dot EVF
• New design of vari-angle LCD monitor optimized for video shooting

You better take this all with a reasonable amount of salt. I’d not bet my money on it, neither the specifications nor the announcement.

Stay tuned.
