Hi everyone! More Canon Rumors!
A lot of hearsay has been coming out surrounding multiple Canon products including an EOS R
Mark II, EOS RS, and multiple RF lenses.
Yup. I’m excited.
Among the rumors are a 75+ megapixel sensor, dual memory card slots, new image processors, and
a hybrid RF/EF mount.
Looks like it’s going to be a huge year for Canon.
But before I get into it, shout out to Canon for supporting this video and remember to
come visit us at the Digital Goja showroom in Miami.

To be clear, these are just rumors.
This information has not officially been announced by Canon, it’s just what has been floating
around the interwebs.
First up, are things we are hearing about a possible Canon EOS R Mark II.
The first EOS R was released back in October of 2018 and since then has become one of the
best selling full frame mirrorless cameras.
So you can see why so many people are excited.
Many upgraded specs and features have been rumored, such as:
An improved resolution, small bump, but 32mp sensor up from its current 30.3mp sensor.
It's supposed to also have internal stabilization or IBIS.
This is something a lot of people have been looking forward to.
Now there are also rumored to improve the image processor as we see in the new EOS 1DX
Mark II, it has a single DIGIC X processor.
Now we're not sure whether or not they're going to include this in a new EOS R series
or it's going to feature the DIGIC 9 processor, something similar to maybe though it's found
in the EOS 90D or a DIGIC 9+.
Whichever they call it.
But we're looking to see a brand new image processor in the new Mark II.
In addition we're gonna see a bump in frames per second.
We're looking at something up to maybe 12fps ISO so should be improved with the new image
processor, going from ISO 100 – 51,200.
And something that a lot of people complained on when Canon officially announced the EOS
R is that it only had one SD card slot.
Now we're looking to have two card slots.
It's possible that it has one CF Express card and one SD card slot, that's compatible with
the UHS2.
And there's very strong rumors that there won't be any crop in 4k.
So Canon, if you're listening, that would be something we would really like to see.
Now that EOS R Mark II is also supposed to have a higher resolution viewfinder, up to
5mp, and we might get a new naming scheme but I don't see it being something called
other than the EOS R Mark II And when it comes to the EOS R multifunction
touch bar, there are very strong rumors that show that it won't feature that on the new
EOS R Mark II, but instead would feature the AF point selection feature that's currently
found on the EOS 1DX Mark III.
The next rumor that we’re hearing is one that’s been around for a while now about
a monster of camera sporting a ridiculous 75+ megapixel sensor.
This rumored camera is the EOS RS, which name hasn’t officially been released so take
that with a grain of salt as well.
But if true this behemoth should make waves and go head to head with the best cameras
out there.
Along with the crazy megapixel rumor is that it will include:
Internal stabilization or IBIS.
It's going to feature a new image processor may be called the DIGIC X like the one in
the 1DX Mark III.
I think it's going to be something similar but it's not going to be exactly the same.
This should help improve image quality AF speed and processing.
Especially if it's gonna be a high megapixel camera like 75 or 80 megapixel.
In addition, this all new sensor is going to be focused on dynamic range.
with the 75mp sensor not only you can get extreme resolution
but you're going to be able to recover and and
see all that information in the highlights and shadow areas.
The camera is also gonna have a larger body this is going to help improve ergonomics of
the camera, but it's also gonna have better weather sealing.
As well this is going to be a more rugged more robust camera body.
It should also feature a higher resolution EVF anywhere from 5.7-6 million-dot EVF.
It will also be larger and brighter, probably also with a faster refresh rate.
Now camera is gonna also feature dual memory card slots.
That's a very strong rumor and may have dual CF Express cards or dual SDXC UHS 2 cards.
My guess is that they have one CF Express card and one SDXC card.
Now talking about the hybrid RF/EF lens mount, now this is something that's been going around
the net for a while.
I would take this with a grain of salt.
They have a really great EF/RF mount adapter.
I don't see this being a thing, but hey, anything's possible.
Now the camera is also going to have some improved AF capabilities, the EOS R already
focus is really well.
AF tracking works really well and with the new firmware and the camera Eye detect AF
is extremely well implemented.
So this would really top the camera off high megapixel, very good at AF tracking and Eye detect.
This is gonna change the game folks.
Now it looks like they're gonna remove the multifunction touch bar, instead implement
the same AF point navigation that they have on the EOS 1DX Mark III.
Now some things I would like to see is a dedicated mode dial, this would make it much easier
to switch from program, shutter priority, aperture priority, manual and y user settings.
Also, I'ld like to see a dedicated switch to go from video mode to photo mode that would
be extremely easier than the way it's implemented now on the current EOS R.
Also, going to some of the video features, it would be really nice to see full frame
4k video on both, the EOS R and the RS.
I'd probably see it more on the EOS R Mark II.
But something else if they're using faster and if they're going to go with the CF Express
cards, let's see the internal recording go from 8-bit color to 10-bit color internally
also 4:2:2 color subsampling.
The last rumor that we are hearing, and these rumors are some of the latest we’re hearing
from sources are multiple new RF lenses including: Affordable consumer RF mount zoom lenses,
some that may have unique designs, both fixed and variable aperture zooms.
1 non-L prime, could be a pancake lens.
And a lot of portion of the year a non-L 50mm F/1.8, nifty fifthy, with the RF mount.
But something that I'm gonna really like to see is this new 135mm f/1.4 RF L USM.
Yeah!
It's probably gonna be very expensive but I can not wait to see this piece of glass.
Again all these rumors aren’t official and honestly all these leaks, even as amazing
as they sound, kind of take away from the magic of being blown away at the time of the
official announcement.
A part of me wishes that some of this information is incorrect and that Canon comes out of left
field and presents us some really shocking,
ground breaking technology that takes everyone by surprise.
But, we’ll just have to wait and see. Your move Canon.
Anyway most importantly, what do you think about the rumors? and what would you like to see?
