Canon EOS R7 Mark II Rumor: Q1 2027, Still Not a 2026 Camera

Canon Rumors is putting the EOS R7 Mark II in Q1 2027, and it is still saying the camera is not a 2026 product. The site first parked the body outside this year in April. This update is a window, not a spec sheet.

The timing comes from a source CR calls fairly reliable: anonymous for years, right more often than not. CR has been leaning toward a launch ahead of CP+ in late February, on the idea that a high-volume APS-C body would want that show. A second source did not have a date, and only described the camera as a “massive” step for Canon’s APS-C line. No sensor, burst rate, or price is attached to either tip.

Nikon Z5IIC Leak Update: Nikon.de Launch Offer, Japan Event Listing, Sept. 24

The name is now on Nikon’s own sites, not just in a rumor post. Nikon Rumors says Z5IIC listings started appearing on Nikon web pages, and posted screenshots of a Nikon Germany launch offer plus a Nikon Imaging Japan event filter that treats Z5IIC as a camera you can tick, next to the Z5II.

That is a step on from Friday’s “next week” item. NR has also tightened the spec list: no viewfinder (the bump hedge is gone), IBIS, a new AF subject class called Fish, black or silver-top editions, and a date — September 24.

Nikon Z5 IIC Rumor: Compact a7C Rival, 24MP, Aimed at Next Week

Nikon Rumors says Nikon will announce a Z5IIC next week — a compact full-frame body aimed at Sony’s a7C series. The name is NR’s spelling; it reads as a compact Z5II, not a confirmed product code. Nikon has not posted a camera, a price, or a photo of this body.

The list NR is willing to print is short: full-frame 24 MP, “new video features” with no codecs or frame rates attached, and a viewfinder line that is still two stories — no finder, or a built-in finder with no viewfinder bump. NR has not picked one.

Panasonic LUMIX S 20mm F2.5 Official: $499.99, 142g Pancake for the Compact L-Mount Kit

Panasonic has added the pancake the compact L-Mount kit was missing. The LUMIX S 20mm F2.5 (S-S20) is a full-frame ultra-wide prime at $499.99 / €499 / £429, due to ship in October 2026. Black is S-S20K at B&H; silver is S-S20S.

B&H Explora is selling it as a street-and-travel walkaround. The numbers back that up: about 142g without caps, 40.9mm from the front glass to the mount, φ69.4mm, 62mm filters. That is the same length and filter size as the S 40mm F2 and the 18-40mm F4.5-6.3 when the zoom is collapsed — one pouch, shared filters, S9-sized full-frame.

Canon EOS R8 Mark II Official: $1,899, 7.5-Stop IBIS and a Joystick — Same 24MP Sensor, Same LP-E17

Canon’s compact full-frame is no longer a rumor sheet. The EOS R8 Mark II is official at $1,899 body-only and $2,099 with the RF 24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM. You can pre-order at Amazon/B&H Photo Video.

The two holes DPReview spent three years pointing at are now filled: in-body stabilization (Canon’s CIPA line is 7.5 stops in the center / 7 at the edges with a coordinated IS lens) and a rear AF joystick. Same 24.2MP FSI CMOS the R8 and R6 Mark II already used. Same 2.36-million-dot, 0.7x EVF. Same LP-E17. B&H Explora’s launch note is in the same place: a handful of large upgrades, a longer list of small ones, and the old compromises that did not move.

Sony FE 400mm F4.5 and 600mm F6.3 GM OSS Official: $2,699.99 and $3,699.99, Sub-Kilo Super-Teles

Sony has filled the hole the leaks pointed at. The FE 400mm F4.5 GM OSS (SEL400F45GM) (B&H Photo Video) and FE 600mm F6.3 GM OSS (SEL600F63GM) (B&H Photo Video) are official: G Master primes, Optical SteadyShot, and Sony’s claim that each is the world’s lightest lens in its class as of this announcement. Both are due in October 2026.

US list is $2,699.99 for the 400mm and $3,699.99 for the 600mm (Canada: $3,579.99 / $4,999.99). The September 8 rumor dump had the 400mm at $2,699–$2,899 and the 600mm around $3,800. Sony landed on the cheap end of the 400mm band and a hundred under the 600mm leak. Size and weight were already right: the press sheet matches the leaked 108mm barrels, 242mm / 263mm lengths, and sub-kilo masses.

EOS R8 Mark II Leak Update: “Fully” Weather-Sealed, Body Now $1,899

Two days out from the rumored New York date, Canon Rumors has revised the EOS R8 Mark II sheet. The headline changes are weather sealing and money: the body is now $1,899, not the $1,799 CR had been carrying, and Canon is said to be calling the camera “fully” weather-sealed. The €1,879 figure is unchanged. Tuesday, September 15, 2026 is still the announcement. Shipping has been tightened to the second half of October.

This is still a rumor update, not a Canon press release. CR says it has “confirmed” the new items with its sources and that there are “no more surprises coming.” Treat the numbers as the latest leak, not a store listing.

Canon EOS R9 Rumor: A 2027 Budget Full-Frame Under the R8 Mark II

Canon Rumors is floating a cheaper full-frame body under the EOS R8 Mark II and, for now, calling it the EOS R9. That name is a placeholder, not a Canon product code. CR says a couple of people told the site over the last few days that the R8 Mark II will not be the entry-level full-frame camera, and that another one is “said to be coming at some point in 2027.”

The site is not treating this as a hard leak. Quote: it is not putting any level of confidence into the information — only that it “seems plausible.” There is no sensor, no body photo, and no launch month. The header graphic is an unofficial mockup of an EOS RP with an R9 badge glued on.

First Real-Looking EOS R8 Mark II Photos Leak: Joystick, Side SD Door, Micro-HDMI

Canon Rumors says the photos are no longer mockups. A Reddit post dumped a set of Canon EOS R8 Mark II pictures that look like certification-house shots — white background, mixed color and grayscale, doors open — not a Canon campaign. CR’s line is blunt: “These images are 100% real.” They are still not official Canon marketing, and the camera is still unannounced.

That is the update after yesterday’s looks-like-Sony mockup. The top plate in this set is labeled EOS R8 Mark II. The back has the joystick the original R8 never got. The spec sheet next to the gallery is the same rumor list we already ran — treat the hardware in the photos as the news, and the 24MP / $1,799 column as still unofficial.
