Update: The full specifications for the Canon EOS R can be seen here.
We were sent the following last night and have been unable to confirm any of the information in this post.
More Canon EOS R Rumored Specifications:
- EOS R 4K Spec
- 30p 4K All-I or IPB
- Canon Log, internal or external
- 10-bit 4K HDMI clean output support BT.2020 color matrix, not the old BT.709.
- Focus Guide from Cinema EOS, no need to worry about using MF Lens
- The bar next to EVF is a touch Bar, swipe or tap OK, can be mapped for different functions.
- The traditional back dial is moved to the top because there’s where your thumb will be on a smaller body.
- The ring on the lens is a control ring, it lets you use both hands to control the camera, like in M mode, you use it with the dials on the body, then you can adjust Tv, Av and ISO with both hands.
- No distance scale on the lenses as the distance info will be projected on the EVF directly.
- 0.05sec AF speed should be the fastest among the FF ML DSLR.

Still no formal word on some major items:

I'm going to say no "true" IBIS with both the RF 35mm f/1.8 IS STM Macro and RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM being stabilized. Maybe there will be some kind of software stabilization for video.
We've been told 1 card slot numerous times, but again, I can't confirm it.
Price is unknown, I expect Nok will have Yen pricing soon.
FPS is totally unknown at this time.
5D4-like sensor X 5D4 fps are two big steps towards a 5D4 price.
There are other specs where Canon could leave stuff out to keep the 5D4 more attractive or to allow the R to be so small. But if it looks like a 5D4 and smells like a 5D4, it probably will cost as much as a 5D4.

Having said that, I do think all the video stuff being mentioned is a amateur videographer's wishful thinking.
Has anyone asked HarryFilm if he knows? :)
At these features, I wouldn't be amazed if it's priced mid $2000s, but then again, the Canon EF 85mm f/1.4L IS was priced lower than expected.
Major items? All depends on what priorities each individual has. As a non-typical forum dweller, the only major item on your list for me is the price. IBIS is pretty much unnecessary for those like me without older non-IS lenses. (Plus, I often wonder if IBIS runs the risk over the long run of putting the sensor out of alignment.) I expect one card slot and somehow have always been able to focus on what I want without the camera choosing for me. If I want to focus on the eyes, I will, If not, I would rather the camera not do anything! But Eye-AF is now the hot topic even though we have all been able to focus successfully without it.
Far more important to me is touch screen focus point selection (as on the M5), overall ergonomics, and how good the EVF will be.
A continuously variable aperture, exposure compensation, or ISO adjustment on the lens would make quite a bit of sense. For video, it would be wonderful. For photos, it would be a fairly intuitive way for people who are used to working in auto mode to get the exposure that they want while looking at the LCD or EVF.
All Sigma Art lens are non IS. It would nice to add IBIS to it.
EyeAF would be nice but it isn't as necessary as dual card slot for me.
