Canon has announced the addition of two new cameras to the top-end of their EOS mirrorless line.

The R1 can record internally up to 6K 60fps raw and 4K 120fps 10-bit video while the R5 can handle 8K 60p raw and 4K 60p raw using the full width of the sensor as well as 120fps 10-Bit video for up to 120 minutes of duration.  Both cameras feature the new DIGIC Accelerator, which is an addition to the DIGIC X processor, taking advantage of deep learning processing to quickly analyze large volumes of data and support the next-gen AF system, Dual Pixel Intelligent AF.
