Canon unveiled the EOS R8 II, an entry-level full-frame camera that borrows styling from the classic EOS 650 SLR film camera. The 24-megapixel camera is the lightest full-frame model with 5-axis stabilization, shoots at 40 fps, and features improved autofocus with subject tracking. It launches at $1,899 in late October.
Canon announced the EOS R8 Mark II on September 15, 2026, featuring a 24MP full-frame sensor, advanced autofocus with AI animal tracking, 40fps electronic shutter, and 7.5 stops of in-body stabilization. The camera body starts at $1,899, with an optional ergonomic grip accessory ($99) and a bundled lens kit available, shipping in October 2026.
Rust's custom allocators are moving closer to stabilization after six months of renewed effort led by Nia and the libs team. The Allocator trait now supports dynamic dispatch (dyn Allocator) and integrates with Vec and Box, though the initial API surface is intentionally limited to ensure soundness. The stabilization prohibits unwinding from allocators and excludes certain container types and methods pending further work.
