The Canon EOS R7 Mark II has been popping up more and more in rumours lately, and at this point everyone expects it to land sometime in the first half of 2026. We are probably still a few weeks, or maybe months, away from anything official, but new (and very promising) leaks about what the camera might look like on a spec sheet have started to circulate.
Right now, the R7 Mark II is said to be getting a 39-megapixel sensor, likely a new BSI CMOS design. Whether it will also be stacked is still up in the air, with different sources saying different things, and the same goes for whether Canon will bring over its DIGIC Accelerator from higher-end bodies. One thing that does seem to be lining up across multiple reports, though, is speed. 40 frames per second is being mentioned pretty consistently, which would put it well ahead of most APS-C cameras on the market.
There are a few other upgrades being talked about too. The in-body stabilisation is rumoured to be rated at around 8.5 stops, and one source even claims it will have the best autofocus of any APS-C camera ever, which is a bold statement if it turns out to be true. On top of that, Canon is said to be giving it a higher-resolution EVF than the current 2.36-million-dot panel, a slightly larger body, support for RAW video, and a CFexpress plus SD card slot setup.
