New Details About the Canon EOS R7 Mark II

One of the most highly anticipated upcoming Canon cameras is the EOS R7 Mark II. The market for the 7-series APS-C cameras, aimed at professional enthusiasts, remains substantial, and Canon plans to position the successor to the EOS R7 even higher up the market.

One major change is that the EOS R7 Mark II will be the first camera in Canon's EOS R series to eliminate a mechanical shutter. Eliminating the mechanical shutter is an inevitable trend, and Canon needs to experiment with a specific model first. This is possible if the image sensor's readout speed is fast enough. Nikon has already eliminated the mechanical shutter in its Z8 and Z9 models, and both cameras appear to be performing well in terms of popularity and performance.

The following is a leak from foreign media outlet Canon Rumors:

Rumored specifications for the Canon EOS R7 Mark II:

33-megapixel APS-C stacked CMOS image sensor

DIGICX image processor + DIGICA Accelerator accelerator

5-axis in-body image stabilization (up to 8.5 stops of image stabilization)

2.36 million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder

40 fps continuous shooting with electronic shutter

Pre-burst shooting function

In-camera high-resolution zoom function

4K/120p 10-bit video recording with CLog-3 support

Larger body than the EOS R7

On the surface, the rumored EOS R7 Mark II looks more like an EOS R5 Mark II with an APS-C image sensor. Beyond sensor size, subtle differences between the two may be reflected in finer functional details.
