We are updating our previous Canon EOS R5 Mark II specifications. Some of those things were slightly incorrect, and we can add some context, but have to be a bit vague and not divulge exact claimed numbers. Canon EOS R5 Mark II Specifications (Rumored) We have talked many times about July events planned for people at Canon

First, I'm sorry. I haven't read all comments to all posts here on CR. So this might have been mentioned before. But someone on dpreview saw a possible hint of what to come in the little EOS R1 teaser video.

First look at the R3 teaser video. In hindsight it clearly hints the Eye Control AF feature.


Then look at the red pattern "flashed" over the EOS R1 title in the R1 teaser video:


"Quad Pixel" sensor design?

Besides for better autofocus, if true, could such a design also be used for the rumoured dual-gain support?
One pair of sub-pixels with "high" gain, and the other pair of sub-pixels with "low" gain?

I don't know much about dual-gain sensor designs, but I assume the advantage would be higher dynamic range.

What's your thoughts regarding the material used for the RF L lenses? I don't like it. It feels cheap and not like the EF L lenses. For example the RF 100-500 is all plastic except the tripod mount. My EF 100-400 feels lika a tank when compered. All metal and very solid build.

After talking about the EU and why that didn’t seem to be causing any of the delays, the conversation in the forums, after discussing golf rangefinders, made a note that there seemed to be a supply shortage across all manufacturers. Someone mentioned Thom Hogan talking about it, and then something clicked in my lizard brain

We have been waiting for this product to be announced with breathless anticipation. Canon, today, announced the Canon PowerShot Golf Laser Rangefinder for $349.99. I have to admit, it’s kind of cool.

It has been a long time since we’ve seen new and exciting Cinema EOS products. The last camera introduced to the lineup was the EOS R5 C way back in January of 2022. Its safe to say that the entire lineup needs a refresh and some new focus. This is what we have been told

With Canon releasing the R1 and soon the R5 Mark II and hopefully some other awesome camera that clearly won’t be an R100 Mark II. There have been a few patent applications that we have talked about over the past 8 or so months here since I started working in CanonRumors that I do hope

The details are scant right now but between the rumors and what seems to have been confirmed and what we can see from the EOS R1 objectively, we can probably make some good assumptions about what we do expect from these cameras.
