Canon EOS R7 Mark II Coming This Spring? New RF
Key Points:
- Canon is expected to announce the EOS R7 Mark II APS-C mirrorless camera in May or June 2024, signaling a new flagship model for their APS-C lineup.
- Alongside the EOS R7 Mark II, Canon will likely introduce at least two new higher-end RF-S lenses, including an RF-S 15-70mm F4 IS STM zoom lens, but not an F2.8 aperture option.
- Canon appears to be moving away from replacing the EF-S 17-55mm F2.8 IS USM with a similar lens for the EOS R system, focusing instead on smaller, lighter lenses with an F4 aperture for prosumer crop-sensor cameras.
- The new RF-S lenses will likely use STM autofocus motors, which are smaller, cost-effective, and suitable for non-L and ultra-wide lenses, helping keep lens size and weight down.
- Additional product details and announcements are expected throughout April, ahead of the anticipated May launch window, with hopes for no delays in Canon’s release schedule.
