The accidental leaks were inevitable and we came about a couple of images of the both the EOS R1 and the EOS R5 Mark II with the active cooling grip.
I am only posting the EOS R1 rear, as we haven’t seen that yet, and the EOS R5 Mark II with the active cooling grip. We don’t have long to wait to see everything.
I will note that the EOS R5 Mark II does have 8K60P, contrary to reports from elsewhere.
We were off a bit on the launch prices, the EOS R5 Mark II is higher than $3999, and the EOS R1 is lower than the $6499 that we reported.

I was looking at 2 info buttons and was wondering if you can re-map them separately. That would be nice feature imho.
I'm still wondering what's the small window in the bottom corner. Looks similar to selfie cameras on phones but I can't imagine why they would place one of those at that spot. Also the proximity sensor is usually by the viewfinder. I guess we'll learn that mystery tomorrow.
And happy to hear it'll be less than $6500. Not sure if I'll preorder immediately, but quite likely I'll buy one in near future.
The grip design seems off and looks cheap.
Can't wait to see real world vidéos
--- I am guessing that window looks more like a fibre-optic network connector than an actual window. It's very hard to tell what it is when I do a pixel peep. It might also be a proximity detector to figure out where and how close your face is to the back of the camera which MIGHT be used to allow the screens to display ONLY relevant information in the viewfinder or orient the rear screen to rotate and fit data correctly when in the body is held in a vertical grip mode or a wide grip mode.
I wonder if uncropped full sensor readout oversampled 4K120p will also be possible. Oversampled 4K60p (4KHQ) is already possible with the R5C so maybe the R5 II will go beyond that and enable 4KHQ with 120fps for beautifully detailed 4K slow-mo shots!
Hopefully WITH sound and in C-Log2!
And I hope the battery life stays at least the same as the one in R5
I am honestly not looking forward to the YouTube chatter about the cooling grip. I think Canon's gonna get ripped for it - "Sony and Nikon don't need a cooling grip!"
Yes they do. They just don't make one.
