Posting this specification list actually kept up last night (silly right?), as I find some of it too good to be true, but as a few of you mentioned on Twitter, this is a rumors site, not a facts site.

I received this information from two unrelated people, one of which I have had interaction with in the past, and I actually trust neither of them is trolling me in any way. Some of their specifications are slightly different, but they're still very close.

One of the sources did mention that the camera may be called the EOS R5, and not the EOS RS, as the model name “was hard to see”.

The video specifications only came from one source, and they are insane. These are what really caused me to pause, but hopefully, this post brings some clarification.

Canon EOS RS Specifications:

  • 45mp (One source said 40mp)
  • IBIS
    • 5 stops with IBIS alone
    • 7-8 stops of correction when used with in-lens stabilization
  • 14fps / 20fps (One source said 12fps / 20fps)
  • Scroll wheel added to the back
  • No touchbar
  • Liveview/Movie toggle like previous EOS DSLRs
  • Larger capacity battery, but looks like the LP-E6
  • 8K @ 30fps RAW
  • 4K @ 120fps
  • 4K @ 60fps
  • The info I was given about a crop was confusing
  • Announcement ahead of CP+ next month

Again, I am a rumor site and a lot of you asked for me to post this information. You guys do a fabulous job of tearing stuff apart, so have a good time with this information.

As I said, I hope this post will bring some further information from other sources.

  1. for every spec level there's a corresponding price level
    I don't care!
    If the specs are real (CR 1 ! ), I'll have to buy it.
    Oops, need to start a hunger strike to raise the money...I said it before, 2020 will be an expensive year for me and many more, I presume!
    Anyway, it looks like Canon is listening to customers and reacting to criticism.
  2. Interesting that this suggests the resolution doesn't even match the 5DS. So perhaps this means that Canon doesn't consider this to be a successor to the 5DS, but rather its own thing entirely? These specs seem more like a 5DIV successor than anything, but as has been said in other threads, it's very possible Canon is not adhering to the same niches of camera lines as they have in the past.

    Anyway, give me high ISO performance that meets, or hopefully exceeds, the performance of the 5D4 and EOS R at this higher resolution, and I'm happy.
  3. I don't know feels like they mixed up the specs of the new EOS R with a new Cinema camera with RF mount maybe? Or probably just made up specs i mean Olympus said more than 6.5 stops of stabilization is impossible while the first Canon body with ibis has 8 stops?

    We've waited so long for IBIS that when it finally gets here, I expect to be able to do hand-held astrophotography with it. :cautious:
  5. I sure am glad I don't need that FPS speed, but 40mp would be nice to have.

    Now for the question: When adapting old film lenses is there a point where the high mpix becomes a problem? I guess I am asking whether or not a camera can be too much horsepower for a lens; exaggerating aberrations, etc?
  6. Yeah... no. No way in hell thats real. I’ll eat my hat if the reason has more than 10fps. It would also not have video specs better than the 1DX3.

    No
    Let me just supplement that. The only way 8K comes into play is in time lapse
  7. I think the 8k at 30fps RAW and 4K at 120fps means that these specifications are fantasy and made up. The processing power for 8K RAW would be so much above anything else on the market in processing power. I'm very doubtful that such technology exists or will exist for some considerable time - especially to put it in a normal mirrorless body. The 7-8 stops of IS with IBIS and lens IS also seems in the realm of fantasy.

    If you zoom at 100% you will see more aberrations with a denser sensor, but if you print the images at the same size the high mpx sensor will always be sharper than a low res one using the same lens

    Thanks Mark!
  10. Interesting if true and will be worthy replacement for both 5DS cameras.
    With the new processor and CFexpress throughput, the specs are quite easy to accomplish. As Fuji has already proven. These are speca limited to bus speed and programming
  11. As if these are ground breaking attributes. Nothing here is limited by some unusual hardware yet to be introduced already. Setting the bar low won't help camera manufacturers.
