Canon EOS R10 Mark II rumors are gaining traction as Canon prepares updates to its entry-level APS-C mirrorless lineup. Following delays in the mid-range series, expectations are building for evolutionary upgrades that will keep the R10 Mark II competitive in 2026.
Expected Release Date
The EOS R7 and EOS R10 were originally announced together, but this time Canon is staggering its launches. The Canon EOS R7 Mark II is expected in Q2 2026, likely late May or early June, targeting enthusiasts and prosumers. The Canon EOS R10 Mark II, meanwhile, is rumored for a late 2026 release, possibly alongside new budget RF-S lenses. For broader context, see Canon upcoming cameras 2026.
Rumored Specifications
While official details remain under wraps, leaks suggest the R10 Mark II will deliver evolutionary upgrades:
- Sensor: Likely a 32.5MP APS-C sensor (similar to EOS R7) or a tweaked R50 sensor with better low-light sensitivity.
- Performance: Faster continuous shooting up to 15 fps mechanical, improved autofocus, and enhanced video capabilities.
- Video: 4K60p without crop, better face/eye tracking autofocus.
- Design: Lightweight body, single card slot, no IBIS or weather sealing to keep costs down.
- Other Features: Better battery life, flippy touchscreen, native USB streaming, and seamless integration with Canon RF-S lenses.
