Canon Rumor: EOS R1 and EOS R5 mark II

Two new Canon camera bodies have been long rumored to be released soon. For several months, rumors have further suggested the release announcement will coincide with the Summer Olympics 2024. I can only guess this is because some photographers will be shooting the new camera – or cameras – at the Olympics.

Latest rumor suggests Canon will announce one or both cameras on July 17.

The name designation “1” indicates a flagship camera, the best Canon has to offer. That’s the EOS R1.

The EOS R5 mark II is an expected refresh of the very popular EOS R5 that was released four years ago.
