The rumor cycle for new camera launches in 2024 continues apace. Currently, the internet augurs seem to be quite certain that we can expect the successor to the successful Canon EOS R5 in February 2024. The Canon EOS R5 Mark II is said to have left the prototype test stage and is being prepared for series production.
Canon is said to have tested different pixel counts and is now focusing on 60-62 MP, which should also make 31 and 15.5 MP outputs possible.
For video users, the mention of a new DIGIC X2S processor, which should enable internal 8K 60p and 4K 120 or 240p readouts, should be particularly exciting. Since the Canon EOS R5 already records 8K RAW in max. 30p internally and the Nikon Z8 and Z9 DSLMs are already available on the market that record 8K RAW with 60p internally, corresponding functions are quite likely in Canon's EOS R5 successor.

Other specification rumors include dual CFexpress Type B card slots and Canon Eye Control AF, which was introduced with the Canon EOS R3. See also our 
Canon EOS R3 practical test.
Here is an overview of the current status of the rumored new features of the Canon EOS R5 Mark II:
- 62mp stacked CMOS image sensor
- Variable resolution of 62mp, 31mp, 15.5mp
- 8K recording with up to 60 frames per second (internal)
- 4K recording with up to 120 or 240 frames per second internally
- DIGIC X2s processor
- Two CFexpress type B card slots
- Autofocus with eye control
- a redesigned LCD panel with variable angle
- 5.76m DOT 120fps EVF
- multifunctional hot shoe
- new battery, but same shape as the LP-E6
- New button layout and controls
- simultaneous introduction of the new Canon camera app
- Expected announcement in February 2024
It's not long until February - we're already pretty excited, especially as the Canon EOS R5 is probably the most important camera in Canon's DSLM portfolio.
