Canon EOS R5 Mark II will Stick with 45MP Sensor, But with New AI Features

Canon Rumors reports that the upcoming Canon EOS R5 Mark II will likely retain the same 45MP sensor resolution as its predecessor, according to multiple insider tips. While some may have expected or hoped for a bump to 60MP, the site suggests sticking with 45MP won’t significantly impact sales or appeal.

Instead, the EOS R5 Mark II is rumored to introduce never-before-seen artificial intelligence autofocus capabilities. Both this camera and the flagship EOS R1 model coming later in 2024 could integrate AI for more intelligent tracking and focus. One possibility is the ability to recognize and track a specific person’s face, even in crowded scenes with many distractions.

In the RF lens lineup, Canon will likely announce both an RF 28mm f/1.4 or f/1.8 lens (it’s unclear whether it will have Canon’s premium “L” designation) and the RF 35mm f/1.2L USM around the same time, potentially alongside the launch of the EOS R5 Mark II camera.

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.
