Canon Inc Enhanced EOS R System Developed next-generation full-size mirrorless camera "EOS R5" and RF lens Canon has developed the next generation full-size mirrorless camera “EOS R5” of the “EOS R System” by combining technologies such as CMOS sensor, video engine, and optics that have been cultivated over many years in-house development of cameras. We are also working on a total of nine models of RF lenses with the aim of launching them in 2020. We will enhance the EOS R system by adding attractive cameras and lenses to our lineup. EOS R5 * With `` RF24-105mm F4 L IS USM '' iinstalled RF100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM
The EOS R system is an imaging system that has the features of a large mount diameter, short back focus, and a high-speed communication system between the lens and the camera that increase the degree of freedom in lens design, and achieves high image quality and improved convenience. The next-generation full-size mirrorless camera, which is currently under development, aims to expand the range of image expression by utilizing the features of the “EOS R System” to achieve even higher-speed continuous shooting and 8K video shooting. In addition, communication functions, operability and reliability can be further improved, and workflow can be streamlined. With these functions, the basic concept of the EOS series, "rapid, comfortable, and high image quality" is realized at a high level.
The EOS R5, the first in the EOS R System's next-generation full-size mirrorless camera, uses a newly developed CMOS sensor to provide up to approximately 20 frames / second for electronic shutters and up to approximately 12 frames / second for mechanical shutters. It aims to achieve continuous shooting performance in seconds, and also supports subjects that move at high speeds such as sports. In addition, the ability to shoot 8K video enables the extraction of high-resolution still images and the processing of higher-quality 4K video, expanding the range of video expression. In addition, Canon's first in-body image stabilization mechanism and the in-lens image stabilization mechanism of the RF lens are cooperatively controlled to achieve even higher image stabilization. In addition to the new dual slot support, a cloud platform
It will be equipped with a function to automatically transfer images to the system “image.canon”. We have also developed an RF lens “RF100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM” and “Extender RF1.4 ×” and “Extender RF2 ×” that can be mounted on the same model. We have developed a total of nine types of RF lenses, including these three, and aim to launch them in 2020. <Reference> “EOS R5” and “RF100-500mm” currently under development at the Canon booth of the “CP + (CP +)” world premier show for cameras and photographs held at Pacifico Yokohama from February 27 to March 1, 2020 F4.5-7.1 L IS USM ”,“ Extender RF1.4 × ”and“ Extender RF2 × ”will be exhibited for reference.

Yes we’ve been here before, maybe though it’s a case of the boy who cried wolf...
No mention of full frame 4K, mind: “camera's 8K video capture capability will enable users to extract high-resolution still images from video footage as well as process 8K video into higher-quality 4K video”
I’m thinking there will be two flavours of 4K in the R5, just as there are two flavours of 1080p in the R: full-frame line-skipped, and the superior 1:1 readout via the crop - it would be nice to have this option actually (I may be the only one who likes the crop on the R - makes my 24mm prime a really sweet 42mm at the push of a button (well, two/three buttons...) TBH I’m just hoping for improved rolling shutter.
