The rumor mill has once again become a ghost town, which tends to be fairly standard ahead of major Canon announcements.
First up for Canon will be the NABShow in Las Vegas, which runs from April 13 – April 17. That show tends to be for the Cinema EOS line, though information about that has also gone quiet in the last few weeks.
We reported back in February that the EOS R5 Mark II would be announced in late April or early May 2024. This information has been confirmed on multiple occasions. Announcement dates can sometimes be a moving target until everything is ready to go for Canon.
If we had to guess, we think a May announcement will make the most sense. There are a few things that happen before a major launch and the timeline they follow has been relatively similar for years. We can’t expand on that.
We have also been told from a retail source, that they are preparing for the EOS R5 Mark II to begin shipping in late June/July of this year.
Another source claims that production of the EOS R5 Mark II has begun, how far into the production process they are is unknown at this time.
We did have some major news about the EOS R5 Mark II to publish last week, but we were told to hold the information at the last minute and hope we can move forward later this week.

Any news on the spec list?
Anyway - Canon is Doomed (TM)
dragonfly pics taking with it. Q3 would make that unlikely.
We don't participate in April Fool's Day. For a lot of the regular media, every day is April Fools!
don’t buy a new camera until a few more months or get a great camera for a big discount now if you need one
Otherwise specific nda in place for real information until someone slips up on a retail website with hard info.
Until then.. sounds like gossip about hearsay masquerading as a rumour :cool:
I think you need to look up what rumor means, then re-read what you just wrote.
