If everything goes as per scheduled then the expansion/introduction of the range will start in Q1/Q2 of 2024.

Upcoming Sony Cameras as per latest rumors
High-end APS-C mirrorless camera
Sony a9 III
Video camera with E-mount
Unknown E-mount camera
Back on November 2022, we published a list of upcoming Sony cameras based on Sony’s scheduled announcement timeline and we have covered most of the cameras posted here with the possible set of upgradable core specs
These are the set of expected core specs in upcoming Sony cameras, lets’s have a look.
Sony A9 III was scheduled to arrive in Q3 of 2021, but the camera was delayed due to a chip shortage. Even in 2022, the A9 III was not able to make its space on Sony’s list. And now its announcement is overdue, and we are expecting that Sony A9 III camera is expected to arrive in Q2/Q3 of 2023.
Youngnuo officially announced an 85mm lens for Canon RF Mount. The lens features STM AF motor and the lens also does AF very well. Now we all very well know Canon RF Mount is locked and Canon recently ditched Viltrox 85mm F1.8 AF Lens by sending some goof msgs to the Lens makers.
So, now we can have two types of situations here
Situation #1: Canon and viltrox are now in collaboration with each other, youngnuo paid the license fee. And now more youngnuo lenses for RF Mount are on they way.
Situation #2 : Youngnuo doesn’t care about Canon’s policy.
Youngnuo Smart Move can be followed by the Viltrox, provided nothing happens to it
In both of the situations we have discussed the second one is true, Youngnuo doesn’t care about Canon rules and regulations for RF Mount. At the same time to save themselves legally they are not using a single Canon word in their Lens announcement or packaging
compatible with other than Sony E / Leica L / Nikon Z”. It seems that sales in China have started at 2,599 yuan ($380).
As you can see clearly youngnuo is avoiding Canon’s name,and yes if they are not using it Canon has nothing much to do legally. But, yes they can block Lenses AF/AE operations via firmware updates in the future.

According to the latest rumors coming out from the rumor mill, the Canon R5 Mark II camera is delayed and will not arrive in 2023. According to a Canon rumor source, Canon is planning for a massive firmware upgrade of Canon EOS R5 and in the firmware update we will see
Canon R5 Upcoming Firmware update
Lens breathing correction
Pre-shooting buffer
Removal of 30 minutes record limit
Vehicle tracking AF mode (bikes, trains & planes)
Additional tracking for more animals
And now the source of the rumor mill suggests since we are getting such a massive update in the Canon EOS R5, the Canon EOS R5 Mark II may get delayed till 2024 and is expected to arrive alongside the Canon EOS R1 camera in 2024.
This is the set of info we are getting from the rumor mill, but the story continues and we will try to find out the sources
Let’s dig up the source of the rumor
The Canon R5 Mark II camera is being delayed first told by Jan Wegener, according to his trusted sources and industry people he knows said that no Canon R5 mark II from Canon is coming in 2023, instead of that Canon will be focusing on realizing Telephoto zoom lenses for RF Mount. This makes more sense since nowadays bird/wildlife photographers are more preferring Sony system cameras and lenses instead of Canons due to their limited tele-zoom offerings.
But, why he is more reliable than CanonRumor itself, take a look at this video below
Blast from the past: Jan Wegener Canon R6 Mark II Spot on Prediction
We will post an update soon as we get any new set of information
TNC Take, Actually, I was expecting Canon R5 Mark II camera official announcement in Nov 2023 and before that, we were expecting its development announcement Aug-Sep 2023. But, it looks like we will have only have Nikon Z8 this year and Canon is out of the High MP Mirrorless race (at least for 2023)
The big question is when Canon will open its RF Mount like Sony, Nikon, and Fuji. Many people are still waiting OR many of them buy different cameras since RF Mount has few lenses.
Phototrend website asked the same question, Canon said
It is true that we are approached by many third-party manufacturers. We hear their demands. However, we have no direction or policy as such on this subject.
Naturally, I cannot share more details with you, but what I can say is that if this aligns with our strategy, we will take the necessary action on a case-by-case basis. I can’t tell you more.
But, the good news is Canon allowed the first third-party lens maker to have contact with its RF Lens mount. Cosina the Voigtlander 50mm f/1 is the first “third-party” lens to be able to communicate with the body via the RF mount.
However, there is no clarity. Canon still wants to keep everything under the curtains and as they said “we have no direction or policy as such on this subject” which also indicates a lack of transparency and no clear set of rules for third-party lens makers.
For, sure if we consider all the facts here NO third-party AF lenses for RF Mount coming anytime soon, do share your opinion about this.
