TNC analysis
As per the rumor, specifications suggest it looks like an Upcoming APS-C flagship camera. We 100% confirm that Canon R7 Mark II coming this year,
Based on the rumored specs we can, we can clearly see a camera with a 24-megapixel stacked CMOS sensor with a DIGIC X processor and DIGIC accelerator. Not only that, the camera is also capable of recording 6K RAW and 120 fps 4K, A new body design has also been hinted at,
But again, the biggest loophole in the shared specification is the sensor resolution. The Canon R7 series already uses a 33.2 MP sensor, and even the competitors now like the Sony A6700, Fuji X-T5, and even some baseline models like the Sony ZV-E10 II and even fuji X-M5 use high-resolution sensors. So, Canon has no option other than to bring a 32.3 MP stacked CMOS sensor in the upcoming Canon R7 Mark II.
Will Canon go back in terms of resolution or sacrifice resolution in favor of speed? That’s the big question.
Now even if it’s a dedicated EOS C cinema camera (Canon R7C), Canon will never announce it in $1500 price range, Generally, cinema camera prices are comparatively higher, even the Sony FX30 which was announced back on 2023, comes at $1799 BODY ONLY price tag.
Let me know in the comment section what u guys think about this… I would love to see a Canon camera with this kind of specification in $1500 price range in 2025.

It’s my side of the analysis since u have requested
the new camera uses a 24.1-megapixel stacked CMOS sensor;
with DIGIC X processor + DIGIC accelerator;
supports 6K RAW and 120-fps 4K video shooting;
a new body design;
high-speed continuous shooting of 30 frames per second;
supports C-Log2/C-Log3;
equipped with a full-size HDMI interface;
expected price of US$1,500;
First, the camera has a 24.1MP stacked CMOS sensor. I know that stacked sensors are usually for high-speed readout, which helps with video and fast shooting. Canon’s current APS-C line, like the R7, has a 32.5MP sensor, so a 24MP stacked would be a different direction. Maybe a lower resolution for speed?
Then there’s the DIGIC X and DIGIC accelerator. The R3 and R5 use DIGIC X, and some models like the R6 Mark II have the accelerator chip. Combining both could help with processing power, especially for 6K RAW and 120fps 4K. That’s pretty high-end. The R7 does 4K 60 but not 120, so this would be a step up.
6K RAW is something even some full-frame models don’t do. The R5 does 8K, but APS-C doing 6K? Maybe possible, but would Canon put that in an APS-C? Maybe a cinema line? But the price is $1,500, which is consumer-level. Cinema cameras are pricier.
30 fps continuous shooting is higher than the R7’s 15fps mechanical or 30fps electronic. So maybe possible if they use the stacked sensor. The stacked sensor would help with readout speed, reducing rolling shutter.
Body design: new body. The R7 and R10 have their own designs, but a new one could mean something more video-focused or hybrid.
C-Log2 and 3 are for color grading. The R7 has C-Log 3, so that’s consistent. Full-size HDMI is a pro feature, found in higher-end models. The R7 has micro HDMI, so this would be an upgrade.
Price at $1,500 is interesting. The R7 is around $1,500 body only, so a new model at the same price but with better specs? That could compete with their own products. Maybe a cinema-oriented APS-C, but the price seems low. Alternatively, maybe an R7 Mark II? But the specs here are different from the R7’s current specs.
Looking at the New Camera link, the rumored APS-C models mentioned are the R7 Mark II, and maybe an R8s. The R7 Mark II is supposed to have a new sensor, possibly stacked, which aligns with the 24.1MP stacked here. But the original R7 has higher resolution, so maybe they’d lower it for speed? Not sure if that’s Canon’s style. Alternatively, maybe a new Cinema EOS camera in APS-C, but the price point doesn’t fit.
The specs seem a mix of high-end features (6K RAW, 120fps 4K, stacked sensor) with a mid-range price. That seems conflicting. Canon typically reserves such features for higher-end models. For example, the R5 is $3,899 and does 8K. A $1,500 APS-C with 6K RAW would undercut their own lineup. Maybe the specs are exaggerated.
Another angle: the stacked sensor and dual processors could be from a new line, maybe a sports-oriented APS-C. But the R7 is already their sports APS-C. Unless they’re making a more video-focused model, like an APS-C version of the Cinema line. But again, price seems too low.
Possible inconsistencies: 6K RAW at $1,500, full-size HDMI on a mid-range body, 30fps with stacked sensor (possible if they use electronic shutter). But combining all these in one camera at that price might not be feasible. It could be a fake rumor because of these mismatches. Alternatively, maybe Canon is trying to be aggressive, but history says they segment their market carefully.
So, in conclusion, the specs don’t perfectly align with the rumored models. The closest might be an R7 Mark II with some upgrades, but the resolution drop and 6K RAW are red flags. More likely, this is a mix of real and fake specs, or a wishlist from a leaker. The user should be cautious and wait for official announcements.

Summary of Canon APS-C Camera Spec Analysis:
Sensor & Resolution:
Current APS-C models (e.g., EOS R7) use a 32.5MP non-stacked sensor.
A rumored 24.1MP stacked sensor would prioritize speed (video/30fps bursts) over resolution, aligning with competitors like Sony A6700 (26MP) and Fujifilm X-H2S (26MP stacked).
Processors:
DIGIC X + DIGIC Accelerator (used in high-end models like R3/R5) could debut in a flagship APS-C body, enhancing autofocus and thermal performance.
Video Specs:
6K RAW & 4K/120p exceed current Canon APS-C (R7: 4K/60p cropped) and even full-frame offerings (R6 Mark II: 4K/60p). Likely exaggerated unless heavily cropped; 6K is typically reserved for premium models (e.g., R5, Cinema EOS).
Continuous Shooting:
30fps electronic shutter (matching R3/R7) is plausible with a stacked sensor, but mechanical shutter would likely stay at ~15fps.
Pro Features:
C-Log2 (rare outside Cinema EOS) and full HDMI are unusual for a $1,500 body, skewing toward professional use.
Price Concerns – 1,500,this would under cut Canon’sownR7(1,499) and clash with higher-tier models (e.g., R6 Mark II at $2,499). Unlikely unless Canon reshuffles its pricing strategy.
Rumor Alignment: Doesn’t fit following rumored models
R7 Mark II: Expected updates with a HIGHER RES sensor, not 24MP Downsampled Sensor specs.
C70 successor: Priced far higher ($5,500+). — May be a consumer level C70 successor to compete against the Sony FX30 Camera
Conclusion:
Plausible: Stacked sensor, 30fps, dual processors.
Unlikely: 6K RAW, 4K/120p, full HDMI, C-Log2 at $1,500.
Verdict: Likely a mix of credible leaks (R7 Mark II tweaks), hypothetical concepts (“R7C” cinema hybrid), or misinformation blending specs from different tiers (R5 + R7 + Cinema EOS).
——————————————————-
Final Take: While a 24MP stacked APS-C camera is feasible for hybrid shooters, the rumored specs—especially video and price—stretch credibility. Expect compromises if Canon aims to balance innovation with market segmentation.
Thank you for sharing this rumored specs—like the 24.1MP stacked sensor, DIGIC X + Accelerator combo, and hybrid-focused features—sound exciting for APS-C shooters craving speed and video versatility. If true, this could be a game-changer for hybrid creators, especially if Canon nails the price-performance balance.
That said, the inclusion of 6K RAW and 4K/120p at a $1,500 price point feels almost too ambitious, given Canon’s historical segmentation (e.g., reserving 6K for the R5/Cinema line). A stacked sensor and 30fps bursts seem plausible, but I’d temper expectations around uncropped 6K or pro-grade video tools like C-Log2 at this tier.
Could this be a distorted glimpse of the R7 Mark II, or perhaps a new ‘R7C’ cinema hybrid? Either way, your article sparks great discussion about Canon’s APS-C future. Fingers crossed for more concrete leaks soon—keep up the fantastic work! 👏
