Canon will release two new phones in May?
As we mentioned in our previous news delivery, Canon has registered five new phones, but they have not been released for a long time. Recently, according to news from CanonRumors, Canon will release two new phones in mid-May, one of which may be the EOS R5 Mark II that has been rumored before, and the other new phone cannot be confirmed at the moment, and some netizens speculate that it may be the EOS R6 Mark III or other models.
The EOS R1, which has been mentioned before, is unlikely, as it was reported that the device had some problems during testing that would affect the proper functioning of the camera, so Canon once again postponed the release of the EOS R1.
