Canon EOS R8

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 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.

Canon Rumors has posted the fullest EOS R8 Mark II spec sheet yet — still a leak, still aimed at a September 15, 2026 New York announcement. The new list goes well past the IBIS / 24MP / about $1,800 briefing from late August: 7.5 stops of IBIS, no mechanical shutter, 20fps pre-shooting, and a software trick that would build 3D video from 2D footage.

The Canon EOS R8 Mark II now has a date. Canon Rumors says the travel-oriented full-frame body will be announced on September 15, 2026 (give or take a timezone).

The latest briefing also fills in the rest of the package: same size and weight as the current R8, in-body stabilization, a recycled 24.2MP sensor, and a body-only price around $1,800.
