The Canon EOS R7 Mark II is coming at some point in Q2 of 2026, likely in late May or early June. It will be a popular camera amongst enthusiasts and prosumers.

Any sort of detailed specifications for the R72 won't be arrive until much closer to the announcement date as is normal. I do think the 39MP sensor is highly-likely, as sensor hints tend to come earlier.

Canon EOS R10 Mark II

One of Canon's best selling cameras, the EOS R10 will also Mark II version later in 2026 I am told. The R10 is one of Canon's best selling ILC cameras globally. While it may not be a big deal in these parts, it's best to keep churning out high volume cameras.

Canon did say in their recent financials that their goal in 2026 is to increase sales of lower end APS-C sensor cameras. There are some massive markets out there that Canon wants to dominate, most noteably India and China.

The EOS R7 and EOS R10 were announced at the same time, but they won't be this time. I don't think they'll share sensors or really anything else. I suspect the R10 Mark II will remain the “Flagship of the volume cameras” like the EOS R50 and EOS R100.

The R10 is equipped with a 24.2MP sensor, and I could see it moving up to the current 32.5MP sensor found in the EOS R7. It makes sense to continue to use an existing sensor to keep costs down.

Any Other APS-C Cameras Coming in 2026?

No idea to be honest. I don't think we'll get a follow-up to the EOS R50 because of the EOS R50 V sharing a lot of the same components. The EOS R100 will role along as the most affordable EOS R camera through Christmas I predict.

Those cameras aren't really enthusiast products. Trying to get the price down to move more of them is probably the goal, but who knows if they'll be able to bring them down considering how things are going globally.

I don't get the feeling that we're going to be seeing new full-frame cameras in 2026. I suppose the EOS R8 would be the most likely to get a follow-up. It just makes sense to try and keep it as affordable as possible. It is a great camera body.
