Canon EOS R5 Mark II, EOS R1 & RF 35mm f/1.4L Announcement around May 22
According to Canon Rumors on X (Twitter), there’s a buzz around the potential announcement of the “EOS R5 Mark II“, “EOS R1 (development)”, and the “RF 35mm F1.4L” around May 21st to May 23rd, 2024. All indications strongly suggest that Canon is gearing up for these announcements during this time frame.
All signs are pointing to May 21-May 23, 2024 for Canon’s EOS R5 Mark II, EOS R1 (development) and RF 35mm f/1.4L announcements.
While the EOS R1 appears to be still in the development phase, it’s probable that the official unveiling might be slightly delayed. Nevertheless, it’s highly anticipated that these cameras will hit the market in the near future.
Further details from the exchange indicate that the EOS R5 Mark II is expected to start shipping in June or July, while the EOS R1 might not hit the shelves until Q4 of 2024. The availability of the RF 35mm F1.4L lens remains uncertain, with speculations that it might be challenging to acquire for the first 6-8 months after its release.
Given this information, it appears that the EOS R5 Mark II is on track for a summer release, possibly with initial availability constraints akin to its predecessor. Meanwhile, the EOS R1 is slated for a later release, likely not until winter, as hinted by the Q4 2024 shipping estimate.
