According to CanonRumors broke the news, the first generation of EOS R5 C sales have exceeded Canon’s expectations, and the EOS R5 C Mark II is currently under development, it will share much of the same hardware with the EOS R5 Mark II and is expected to be on the market in 2025, according to CanonRumors.
Unfortunately, there’s no word on any of the camera’s specs yet.
YouTube’s @OrdinaryFilmmaker said earlier this month that Canon has already put a small number of EOS R5 Mark IIs in the hands of some photographers and content creators for testing and that an official release is expected in the fourth quarter of 2023, a few months before the EOS R1.
Sources have also mentioned that Canon may release two replacements for the EOS R5. One is the EOS R5 Mark II, and the other is a high-megapixel version of the EOS R5, although the high-megapixel version does not have the same video capabilities as the EOS R5 Mark II.
