The latest camera newsletter states that the Canon EOS Rs will be rolled out in the beginning of February 2020, now the click lovers hear the news of the official trailer to the Canon EOS R camera will be made available before Photokina tradeshow in May 2020 badged Canon EOS R Mark II.

With the original Canon EOS R system released in the October 2018, the new version is a faster turn around for the Mark II – specially when you think and considering the fact that the Canon EOS Rs is being released just few months before the Mark II. Does this faster upgrade means less faith or complaints about the original EOS R? 

Some complaints were told about the EOS R’s availability of dual card slots for memory storage. Also the non availability of in-body image stabilization is a drawback compared to Nikon Z series. So this might be the reason for a faster upgrade to Mark II for overcoming these drawbacks. Still these queries did not give an explanation why Canon will make an announcement of two top-spec mirrorless cameras in a short span.

Full frame mirror less cameras is the latest trend coming over DSLR era.
