Canon launched an official teaser for the July 17 announcement: Canon R5II and R1 coming!

Now it’s official! Canon will announce new products on July 17. I expect them to announce the R5II and share many more details about their new flasghip Canon R1 model.

CanonRumors reported a new list of possible R5II specs:
