I received the following (unconfirmed) Canon EOS R3 Mark II camera rumors (replacement for the current EOS R3 model):
The Canon EOS R3 Mark II has already made its mark at the Winter Olympics. It is not a high-resolution variant of the EOS R1, but rather an entirely new and more experimental product. It features an industry-first dual native-resolution back-illuminated stacked CMOS image sensor that supports switching between 54-megapixel and 24-megapixel native resolutions. The 24-megapixel, 90 fps, and 54-megapixel, 40 fps continuous shooting modes are extremely convenient. EOS R3 Mark II employs a unique Enhanced Sensitivity Bayer array:
R R G
G G B
G G B
In 24-megapixel native resolution, adjacent pixels of the same colour are merged:
R-Binned Green
G-Binned B-Binned
The binned green pixel dominates the SNR of the decoded image. It achieves approx. 80% increase in sensitivity compared to the single green pixel found in the EOS R3. Combined with triple native ISO, EOS R3 Mark II delivers the industry’s finest high-sensitivity performance among full-frame cameras.
The Quad Pixel CMOS AF system employs four photodiodes per pixel, facilitating dual cross-type autofocus across all 54 megapixels. This innovative feature enables phase detection across four distinct directions: horizontal, vertical, diagonal, and opposite diagonal.
RAW video recording in-camera up to 9K at 60fps and 6K at 120fps, with full-pixel autofocus capability.
Canon was recently rumored to have registered a new high-end EOS camera:
