    Canon EOS R7 V & Canon EOS R7 Mark II Coming in 2025?

    By 64 Comments2 Mins Read

    Back when the EOS R7 was announced in 2022, there were immediate rumors about a Canon EOS R7 C. We’re confident that such a camera was on the roadmap but was cancelled before it ever came to market. Products do get cancelled.

    We expect to see a Canon EOS R7 Mark II in the second half of 2025. No more information has come about any sort of specification for such a camera. However, we have been told that it will go “upmarket”.

    With the recent rumors of a Canon EOS R50 V coming soon. Though we don’t exactly know when at this time. We also don’t have solid specifications. There is speculation, but we’ll wait to wait for actual information.

    We have been told Canon plans to release two versions of the next Canon EOS R7. One will be video-focused, perhaps called the Canon EOS R7 V, and the other photography-focused. The EOS R7 Mark II will potentiall be something like a baby EOS R1 with an APS-C sensor.

    During the EF days, the Canon EOS 7D series was pretty close to a baby version of the EOS-1D X line. We’d love to see that return to the lineup.

    I think the Canon EOS R50 V will give us some idea of what Canon has planned for these “V” series RF mount cameras.

    It’s interesting to see “V” come up for PowerShot as well as EOS R.

    I’d grab the salt shaker for now on this information. It doesn’t come from a completely reliable source.

    2. It would be cool if Canon could come out with just 3 affordable mini-cine lenses for beginners, couple with a Small Rig mini follow focus, as a starter kit. Get beginners to practice manual focus-pulling. Less intimidating than starting out with an expensive rig.

      Canon is going full steam ahead with these entry video cameras. Nikon and Fuji is getting into the cinema space soon.
    5. Is it V for Vlog? V for Virtual Reality? V for video? Since they aren’t going C for cinema…

      The M50 sold very well as a web cam kit during the covid times. Wouldn’t be surprised if we see an R50 V marketed as that.

      I still carry around my M5 pretty much everywhere. Fits in the pocket of my winter coat, and the old FD lenses look amazing on them are the right size for it. I think I’m one of the few that wishes the M line stayed alive with a few more offerings. I guess I’ll just have to settle for my R1…. Le sigh
    6. Yes, please!

      For me it also wouldn't be a problem, if they would build the batery grip into the body. Will this happen? I think not, but it would be great!

      As for the rest:
      30ish MP stacked sensor, 30fps, 14
      bit RAW in ES, new AF, up to 4k@120fps in C-log 2/3, maybe RAW and Open Gate?, a battery grip, the 4-axis display and I would be very very happy!
    7. I wonder how upmarket we’re talking about here. If it’s a few hundred bucks more ok, if it’s $2400-ish I hope the R10ii goes upmarket as well to accommodate those of us who don’t need all the “baby R1” features, if it indeed ends up as such.
    12. Oh, there's also the rumour of a Vintage camera release this year as well, along with the mini-Cine at the end of this year.
      The V can be vintage. Maybe the R7iiV is the R7ii reskin as the classic A-1

      I like my M50-cameras very much. Easy to use, good IQ, good FHD videos.
      An M50 iii with 4k video including full sensor usage and current AF would be a burner with the glorious EF-M 32 1.4!
    14. The R7 is the only APS-C camera that supports the RF-S VR lenses. A more photo-oriented “baby R1” and a more video-oriented R7 V that supports VR video?
      EOS R10 also supports RF-s VR lenses.

      Not.
    17. There is a single thing they need to do that would make me buy this vs not buy this. And that’s to give it the control layout of the R5/R5ii. Removing the rear dial ruined the R7.
    18. As to the V vs C nomenclature, I suspect the C will only be applied to cameras that support DCI aspect ratio, so if a camera only supports 16:9 video, it may well have a V rather than a C.
    19. I wonder how upmarket we’re talking about here. If it’s a few hundred bucks more ok, if it’s $2400-ish I hope the R10ii goes upmarket as well to accommodate those of us who don’t need all the “baby R1” features, if it indeed ends up as such.
      I hope the R10 II gets the LP-E6 battery.
