Rumors of a newCanonEOS 90D DSLR have been building over the last few weeks, and a number of sources are now reporting possible specs.

Rumor sitesCanon RumorsandNorthlight Imageshave each published spec sheets that claim the new arrival will sport a 32.5MP sensor, one that’s APS-C in size and sporting Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF system.

How likely is this? Well,we alreadysuspectthat a 32MP sensor is currently in the works, as this information has previously been spotted in registration details. Canon has also included Dual Pixel CMOS AF on all of its most recent DSLRs, save for the very cheapest models.

Other specs rumored to be included in the new camera include Dual DIGIC 8 processing engines. While this would be the first occasion we’ve seen two DIGIC 8 engines in one body, it would make more sense here than on less demanding models such as theEOS Rebel SL3 / EOS 250Dand theEOS M50mirrorless camera, each of which packs a single DIGIC 8 engine.

The specs also claim the model is set to be weather resistant and have dual SD-type card slots, along with 10fps burst shooting,4Kvideo and both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, all of which is either expected or perfectly plausible on such a model.

EOS 90D… or EOS 7D Mark III?

It’s worth remembering that not only are these all rumors for now, but even if we do see this appear we don’t know whether this will be inside an EOS 90D body, a Canon EOS 7D Mark III or something else.

Both theEOS 80D(pictured top) andEOS 7D Mark IIhave been a part of Canon’s DSLR stable for some time, and while the company also has its new EOS R line and EOS M series to focus on, it seems unlikely that we won’t see more DSLRs. Canon has made it clear that it plans to continue supporting EOS DSLR users, and a new mid-range model would make a lot of sense right now.
