New Rumored Specs of Canon EOS R5 Mark II
Rumors about the upcoming Canon EOS R5 Mark II camera have been circulating for the past few months. In July, we heard that prototype models were being tested by a small number of photographers. Thisinitial report seemed credible, though details could not be shared publicly.
Later in July, it was rumored that the EOS R5 Mark II would feature a resolution bump to 60MP, using pixel binning technology similar to recent Leica cameras. This potential upgrade was well-received.
New alleged specifications recently surfaced from The Camera Insider, though the source is unverified. As with any unofficial reports, view these details skeptically. Some specs align with expected upgrades over the original EOS R5, based on Canon’s progress with other R models.
Here are the rumored specifications, via The Camera Insider:
- 62MP stacked CMOS sensor
- Variable resolution options: 62MP, 31MP, 15.5MP
- 8K video up to 60fps (internal)
- 4K video up to 120fps (internal)
- DIGIC X2s processor (first mention of this chip)
- Dual CFexpress Type-B slots
- Eye control autofocus
- Revised vari-angle LCD
- 5.76m-dot 120fps EVF
- Multi-function hot shoe
- New LP-E6-style battery
- New button layout and controls
- Launch alongside new Canon camera app
- Possible February 2024 announcement
The rumored DIGIC X2s processor is a first—a new generation expected for pro/prosumer cameras. Faster readout speeds may require an upgraded processor and computational features.
A Q1 2024 release window aligns with previous hints. As details firm up, we’ll report on the legitimacy of these specs. For now, they provide an idea of what may come in the EOS R5 Mark II.
