It is now being reported that the successor to the discontinued Canon EOS R will be the Canon EOS R8. We will change the title of this thread if this name proves to be incorrect.

What is expected in the Canon EOS R8 digital camera:
  • 30MP sensor with IBIS
  • Two card slots (CFExpress and SD)
  • 4K 60P (4k 30P with no crop)
  • 12FPS
Canon is going to need to price this camera competitively if they want it to be popular. These are similar specifications to other brand's mirrorless cameras that have been out for years.
 
Announcement should be coming sometime in Janujary or February. Likely the same 24 megapixel sensor as the EOS R10.
 
Full specifications:
  • Same sensor as Canon R6 Mark II (24mp, mediocre but adequate dynamic range)
  • Digic X image processor
  • Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with subject detection
  • C-Log3 but not the better C-Log2
  • Same 40FPS as R6 Mark II (in electronic shutter)
  • Oversampled 4K 60p
  • 180FPS 1080P
  • No IBIS
  • Microphone jack
  • USB-C webcam and streaming
  • Smaller and lighter (461g)
  • $1500 or $1700 with new RF24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM kit lens
So, a competitive lower end camera (much like Nikon's approach with the Z5) that's okay and should be fine for most.
