Canon’s Latest Camera Rumours

Canon is rumoured to be gearing up for a major refresh of its APS-C mirrorless lineup with the anticipated EOS R7 Mark II, and if the leaks are accurate, this could be one of the most significant APS-C releases in recent memory. With a rumoured 40MP sensor, 8K video, and autofocus tech borrowed from Canon’s pro bodies, it’s shaping up to be more than just a minor spec bump.

The original EOS R7 already had a solid reputation among wildlife and sports shooters thanks to its fast burst rates and reach-friendly crop sensor. But the Mark II seems poised to push things even further. That resolution boost alone—from 32.5MP to a possible 40MP—could be a game-changer for photographers who rely on cropping in post without compromising detail. Video looks to be a major focus as well. 8K might sound overkill for some, but for professionals and content creators, it opens up a ton of flexibility for cropping, reframing, or stabilizing in post. If Canon can pull this off with decent rolling shutter control and a robust codec, it would instantly make the R7 Mark II one of the most capable hybrid cameras in its class.

Autofocus upgrades also seem likely, with hints that Canon may bring over its deep learning AF system from higher-end models like the R3. That could mean better tracking, smarter subject detection, and improved reliability in fast-paced scenarios. The official announcement is expected later this summer.
