The release window for the Canon EOS R7 Mark II is getting much clearer, and at the same time, the first early signs of an EOS R10 Mark II are starting to appear. Over the past few weeks, several sources have pointed to a first-half 2026 launch for the R7 Mark II, and that timeframe is now narrowing down even further. May or June 2026 is currently looking the most likely scenario, which also fits with recent FCC filings Canon submitted in the United States, often a very strong sign that an announcement is not too far away.
As for the camera itself, the R7 Mark II is rumoured to adopt a body design closer to the EOS R6 series. There is also talk of it using the LP-E6P battery and featuring dual card slots, one CFexpress Type B and one SD slot, which would make it a more serious tool for wildlife and sports photographers. In terms of sensor resolution, 40 megapixels is widely rumoured.
Canon reportedly is not planning to launch the R10 successor alongside the R7 this time. The EOS R10 Mark II is said to be scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026. No solid technical details have leaked yet, but reusing the current 32.5-megapixel sensor from the original R7 would make sense, especially if the new R7 moves up in resolution.
