It’s been over two years since Canon first released it EOS R5 and EOS R6 and show the world that they are extremely serious about competing in the professional mirrorless camera space. As such, it’s time for the first generation of cameras to move on to their next iterations. It looks like that will happen relatively soon, as the specifications for the EOS R6 Mark II have surfaced.
Canon rumor is Report that the EOS R6 Mark II is coming and it will carry the following specifications:
- 24 megapixel sensor
- In-body image stabilization
- 4K 60p Video with Canon Log 3 / HDR PQ and Dual Pixel CMOS AF
- 12fps continuous burst with mechanical shutter
- Dual SD/SDHC card slots
While these specs certainly seem a bit confusing in terms of how much progress has been made over the original EOS R6, I seriously doubt the sensor in the Mark II will be the one from the original EOS R6. EOS R3and that alone is a huge step forward in quality. The EOS R6 strikes a good balance, and I’m sure Canon doesn’t want to mess with that too much and risk cannibalizing camera sales like the EOS R5. One key aspect, price, is still missing, but if the company can keep it at or below $2,500, it will likely be a popular camera. Hopefully, we’ll hear more soon!
