Preliminary specifications of the EOS R Mark II

Preliminary specifications of the EOS R Mark II have been released.

While it is still pretty early for these specifications as the EOS R Mark II is supposed to come out sometime later in 2020, this gives us our first glimpse into the new EOS R Mark II. According to these new specifications from Canon Rumors, it seems like this Mark II version is moving more upscale with the addition of a dual card slot and much better 4K video.

The specifications from Canon Rumors;

• 32mp
• IBIS
• DIGIC X (A different version than the EOS-1D Mark III)
• 12fps
• ISO 100 – 51,200
• 1 SD card slot
• 1 CFexpress slot
• No crop 4K video with DPAF
• No RAW video
• 5mp EVF
• May get a new naming scheme

I find the specifications credible, especially the last point.  I'm questioning if this is an EOS R Mark II or another RF camera line.  I've always thought that Canon will continue with a more upscale version of the "R" for both medium resolution and high resolution, similar to the 5D line.  It never felt as if the EOS R was meant to be that.

For instance, do we get an EOS 5Rs and an EOS 5R? With dual card slots, and better ergonomics, and the EOS R just simply dies, or gets the Mark II treatment later on in the future.
