We are starting to get some information in about the success to the Canon EOS R6, the Canon EOS R6 Mark II. These are rumored specifications and have not been confirmed yet:

  • Improved 24MP sensor
  • IBIS
  • 4K 30P video (full frame) and 60P with a crop
  • Dual Pixel AF
  • Two SD card slots
  • Canon Log 3
 
Some additional rumors (unconfirmed):
  • Digital teleconverter
  • Hybrid auto (we have no idea what this is)
  • Dual pixel autofocus during advanced burst shooting
  • Cloud RAW processing (will this be a free or paid service?)
 
The R8 and the R6 II rumors have the two cameras being relatively close in specifications. That can't be completely right. The R6 II is going to have to have more advanced features, especially on the video side.
 
Price: $2499 (or $2599 with the version that comes with the stop motion firmware)

It's not clear yet how much of a crop there will be in 4K 60.

This camera will be announced on November 2nd, 2022.
