Canon EOS R1 will Coming Before EOS R5 Mark II

According to the latest rumors, 2024 will bring new prosumer and professional models, including the long-awaited EOS R1 and EOS R5 Mark II. The EOS R1 will arrive “well before” any EOS R5 Mark II, tempering hopes for a CP+ announcement in February. More likely, Canon will unveil the R1 like it did with the R3: first a development announcement with some initial details, followed by the official launch later.

Intriguingly, hints suggest the R1 may have “less resolution than many think” – perhaps meaning under 45MP to forego 8K video. This may disappoint some, but 8K adoption remains limited for now. The R5 line will likely retain 8K capabilities, better suiting that form factor once rigged up.

While Canon did have a global shutter in its now discontinued C700 GS cinema camera, our source says neither the R5 II nor R1 will have the feature.
