After numerous back-and-forths and unconfirmed leaks, Canon Rumors is reporting that Canon is working on a camera called the EOS R5 with a 45 Mega Pixel sensor, in-body image stabilization, up to 20fps electronic burst, and an insane 8K/30p video mode.
According to their most recent report, the camera is almost definitely called the EOS R5 and it features a 45mp full-frame sensor, has IBIS, can shoot 12fps mechanical and 20fps electronic, uses a similar battery to the 5D Mark IV, can shoot 4K/120p video, and may even be able to shoot 8K/30p video. If these specs are accurate, this would be a powerhouse camera, though we’ll have to wait and see what kind of stipulations crazy-sounding specs like 8K/30p video would need to come with—that is a lot of bandwidth… and heat.
According to CR, this camera will be “launching in July 2020,” which could mean an announcement much sooner. We’ll keep an eye out and our fingers crossed that the EOS R5 is the real deal, and is coming real soon.
