Press Announcement
MELVILLE, N.Y., July 17, 2024 — Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today launched two new professional full-frame mirrorless cameras, the EOS R1 and EOS R5 Mark II. The EOS R1 camera is designed for both professional still photographers and video creators in a wide range of fields including sports, news reporting and high-end video production. The EOS R5 Mark II camera features improved video focused features for the advanced creators and real-time multi recognition tracking system for those who focus on still photography.
Canon EOS R1 Camera is “Ahead of the Game”
Canon’s EOS 1-series legacy continues with the unveiling of the flagship EOS R1 camera. This high-performance, reliable, and weather-resistance camera is designed for professionals in the photojournalism, sports and wildlife fields. Key features of the EOS R1 camera include:
- Back-illuminated stacked 24.2 megapixel full-frame sensor and new processing system for extremely fast reading
- Increased read-out speed, reducing “rolling shutter” distortions
- Still-image shooting speeds up to 40fps
- “Cross-type AF” imaging sensor for more positive focus on subjects with linear detail
- Strong video capabilities, up to 4K (also 6K RAW video options)
Canon EOS R5 Mark II Camera helps users “Master the Moment”
For the professional who demands high-quality still and video output, the EOS R5 Mark II camera is ready to deliver. Designed with performance and image quality at its core, the EOS R5 Mark II camera offers the fundamental elements in one package for sports/wildlife photographers, journalists/producers, video producers and visual creators. Key features of the EOS R5 Mark II camera include:
- Back-illuminated stacked 45 megapixel full-frame sensor and new processing system for extremely fast reading
- When compared to previous EOS R camera models, more advanced and powerful AF system including Eye Control AF and new subject tracking technologies
- Cinema EOS video features such as:
- Custom Picture color profile including Canon Log 2
- False Color Wave Form Monitor
- 4CH Audio with 24bit LPCM
- Pre-recording up to 5 seconds
Accessories for the EOS R5 Mark II camera were designed thoughtfully with the end-user in mind. There is a new, more powerful battery. The LP-E6P battery, when compared to previous battery versions, features higher continuous power and two-times the amperage. Optional battery grips were also thoughtfully designed, and there are three options:
- BG-R20– For vertical operability
- BG-R20EP with Ethernet – Port enables high-speed wired communication
- CF-R20EP with Cooling Fan and Ethernet – Cooling fan helps maximize movie performance
Both cameras feature the new DIGIC Accelerator, which is an addition to the DIGIC X processor. The DIGIC Accelerator assists with deep learning processing which helps to quickly analyze large volumes of data and supports the next-gen AF system, Dual Pixel Intelligent AF. Dual Pixel Intelligent AF is based on Accelerated Capture and deep learning, allowing end-users to experience tracking advancements, such as body, joint and head area estimation and focus on people other than the main subject.
Price and Availability
The Canon EOS R1 camera is expected to be available in the Fall of 2024, for an estimated retail price of $6,299.00*. The Canon EOS R5 Mark II camera is expected to be available in August 2024, for an estimated retail price of $4,299.00* for the camera body only. The EOS R5 Mark II camera kit, which will include the RF24-105mm F4 L IS USM lens, will have an estimated retail price of $5,399.00*. The estimated retail prices for the optional battery grips are:
- BG-R20– $560.00*
- BG-R20EP – $750.00*
- CF-R20EP – $600.00*

There were only TWO things I wanted.
High resolution sensor and high resolution EVF. I got none.
FCK.
-> missing the AF-Comtroller like the R3/1
-> missing Fotos of the Backside of the R5II ?
After a While we will see if i switch to Mirrorlesss sometimes.
( For now my restrictions rely on Video - Blackmagic Design PHYXIS 6K EF-Mount a better Solution for me ? )
Greetings from rainy Germany
Bernd
I thought it was funny how they presented R1 as having a \"high resolution\" sensor...
What I could miss: AF control button like R3, mode selector on the left like 5 D IV, horizontal lines AF recognition.
Conclusion: ORDER!
Lots of pictures, technical infos etc...
Conclusion is extremely positive!
Holding breath, when read R1 could have >60MP. But that was just an false rumor. So placed my order for the R5 II here in Germany.
But at another store in Düsseldorf, that ist almost 140€ off the pricing from FotoKoch, Canon Rumors is offering.
Anybody wanna buy a 6D Mark II (with GPS) and a few EF lenses—all in excellent condition—at very good prices?
1. How long can one film in 8k RAW without overheating and
2. Can one set shutter/ISO independently for still photography while shooting video with different ISO/shutter??
