Canon EOS 5DS (R) Mark II Coming with 60MP Sensor (20% Increase)

Posted on by

Canon is expected to unveil only one body to replace both the 5DS and 5DS R in the second half of 2018 (probably at Photokina 2018). The latest rumor suggests that there will NOT be a significant resolution jump (from the current 50.6MP) in the new Canon EOS 5DS (R) Mark II body, not more than a 20% increase. So, that means the upcoming Canon EOS 5DS R Mark II will come with a new 60MP sensor.

The Previous Rumored Specifications of Canon EOS 5DS R Mark II (via CR):

  • Working prototypes are currently being tested.
  • The “5DS” series will be amalgamated into a single camera.
  • No low pass filter.
  • All new 60.1mp image sensor.
  • A new type of low megapixel mode.
  • 4K video (video features will be basic)
  • Identical body to the EOS 5D Mark IV.
  • Focus peaking present, may appear first on another DSLR.
  • Expect all the other features such as DPAF, Wifi, Touchscreen and GPS.

None is confirmed anyway so it’s best to take reports with a pinch of salt.
