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.
Finally, we have the sigma lenses we were waiting for, the Sigma TRIO Lenses for the Native Z Mount, the Lens covers range from 16mm, 30mm and 56mm, the good thing is all these three lenses have rubber sealing that act as a weather-sealed coating over the lenses. And as usual, finally, DX users have some High-Quality Primes to choose from, unlike Canon RF APS-C users still in drought areas due to Canon’s locked mount policy.
The most awaited lens is Sigma 16mm F1.4, before this lens content creators were limited to Viltrox 13mm F1.4, but now they have one more option, for a portrait I recommend the Sigma 30mm F1.4 and if you own a studio and have a large working space then only get the 56mm F1.4.
These lenses are already available in five mounts, including Sony E-mount, Canon EF-M mount, FUJIFILM X Mount, Micro Four Thirds mount, and L-Mount.
According to the latest rumors from the Rumor mill, Nikon plans to announce Nikon Z8 and Nikon Z6 mark III cameras in March of 2023. Look at the information shared by the subscriber of the rumor mill.
We have to take it with a grain of salt and wait for more confirmation. But, at the same time just like I am really very excited about the Nikon Z8 camera.
TNC takes
Yes, we do belive that Nikon will announce Nikon Z8 soon, and we also believe that Nikon Z6 III may also arrive with Z8 or after a month or two. The time frame that we have received from an Asian source is from March to Aug of 2023, Nikon will do all its major 2023 camera announcements during this time period.
We can relate the announcement pattern with Canon, as they only announced Canon R6 Mark II and postponed the update of the Canon R5 Mark II. In a similar fashion, we will have only Z6 III this year along with the Nikon Z8. And after the announcement of the Nikon Z8, Canon will bring out Canon R5 Mark II in the month of Aug-Sep to splash out the market of Nikon Z8.
