It’s no secret that Canon is currently worked on a high megapixel mirrorless camera in the EOS R line but we now have some more definitive specs from Canon Rumors. The camera, dubbed the EOS Rs, is expected to be announced in February 2020. It seems like it will be quite a powerful camera with all the little things Canon mirrorless dreamers like me have had on our wishlist: dual card slots, dual card slots, dual card slots, and a joystick. Oh and it’s also expected to pack a 75 megapixel sensor. But will it have IBIS?
Rumored Canon EOS Rs Specs:
- 75mp full-frame CMOS
- Sensor “focused on the dynamic range”
- Frames per second “… Sounded similar to the EOS R”
- DIGIC 9
- Dual Card Slots
- Joystick the same as the EOS-1D X Mark III
- Larger and higher resolution EVF than the EOS R
- Fully articulating LCD screen
- Fully weather-sealed
- Similar ergonomics as the EOS R (No touch bar)
While not many photographers truly need 75 megapixels, the option will be really exciting if you can also choose to cut that in half when you don’t need it, as will almost certainly be the case. However, if this camera doesn’t have IBIS, it’ll be a huge mistake by Canon. They’re already years behind Sony in the mirrorless game. They can’t afford another year without a professional level camera that rivals the best stuff coming from their biggest competitors.
What do you think of these rumored specs? Is this a camera you’d buy? Let us know in the comments.

Honestly I’m very surprised that only Canon has fully articulated LCD screens right now. Even the Panasonics don’t have one, and they’re highly video-oriented.
Since Canon is almost completely caught up with the shadow recovery / dynamic range lead that Nikon/Sony had for nearly 15 years now, this sensor could be a real game-changer for the existing status quo.
Very much looking forward to seeing how this behemoth performs not just in the studio for fashion portraits, but also in the field for landscapes and nightscapes!!!
The most expensive RF glass lack IS, surely this is because pro bodies will feature IBIS.
Sounds like the body I’ve been waiting on. I know people will slam it for the ‘unneeded’ mb. Personally in my work I do need them. Others will slam it for not being the camera they want. If it’s not the one you want then don’t buy it. It is the one I want and I definitely will order one whenever it’s available.
Anyone who slams a camera for having too many megapixels is being pretty shortsighted, IMO. So far, Nikon, Sony, and Panasonic have all shown that the new status quo is having two nearly identical bodies, one with an extremely high-res sensor and one with a more “modest” resolution. Canon did the same with the 5D-series, and I suspect they’ll do the same with their mirrorless semi-flagships.
Don’t want 75 megapixels? Wait and buy the “other camera” that will inevitably have literally everything identical except the sensor. Problem solved.
