That's easy to explain. There's many more potential R5 users than 1DXIII users on this forum. Also, 8K video!!!

Canon announces development of the EOS R5 full-frame mirrorless camera
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
That's easy to explain. There's many more potential R5 users than 1DXIII users on this forum. Also, 8K video!!!
Perhaps the 1DX3 is targeted at professionals who don't spend that much time on fora like this...
And people, myself included, who spend time on fora like this to talk about things and who have real interest in photography are limited - for finanical reasons mainly - to EOS 5-style cameras...
And people interested in rebel-style cameras are not enough interested in photography to participate in fora like this...
In all, this might be why there is the most talk about semi-professional cameras here...

I think unless Canon really messes this up by imposing artificial limitations, the technology is finally available for them to achieve most of the claims that they're saying.
The processor should be able to do 8K Raw, very little 8K crop, 10Bit H265, 8Bit 264, 4K60 with no crop etc.

Trade price of the R: That will fall deep. Future bodies will have IBIS and one without will not be competitive. However, the R is a great camera that can be kept as backup body.

Wrong conclusion: Like the in the R you can keep the sensor exposed when switching the camera off before switching lens.

Canon goes head on with most of the other brands higher priced cameras.
The A7R4 currently sells for ~4000 Euro in Germany, and this
price will give until the R5 is finally shipping. Canon for sure will
undercut this, so it is only a question of how deep the A7R4 falls
until Canon determines their price.

I come here because it is far less depressing than the world news. There is actually, comparatively, good news here. I get to see beautiful work by members, get great advice, and some humor too.Perhaps the 1DX3 is targeted at professionals who don't spend that much time on fora like this...

The R5 specs look spectacular, however, I don’t shoot any video. I own a 5DIV, which serves my photography needs completely. I think for a Canon mirrorless R series body, the R6 may be a more interesting camera for my use, especially if it’s new sensor has great low light capabilities.

The current EOS R was dead on arrival!
It simply does not compare to the others in its price range. Like the A7III. The Sony came with IBIS, dual slots, uncropped 4k and extensive lense range.
But it’s all relative, if the EOS R were $1300-$1400, then I’d say it’s priced correctly. To compete with higher end APS-C like the X-T3.
The people that bought it at +$2000 I weep for them. They were definitely drinking the Canon koolaid.
Hopefully with the EOS R6 we see them compete in that $2000 range better. And EOS R drops down in the $1400 range with the RP in the $1000 range.

I'm assuming you're assuming this just based on the press photos showing the sensor exposed on the R5. But the fact that the sensor is exposed in Canon's press photos means nothing. Even the photo of the EOS R on Canon's page shows the sensor exposed. I suspect it's because they feel that it looks more impressive in photos to have the sensor exposed as opposed to showing the shutter. But it means nothing as far as whether or not the shutter will close when you turn off the camera.

They changed the way the shutter functions after the release of the R. For the R, the shutter comes down when the camera is turned off. On the RP, the shutter stays up to prevent damage to the shutter. That's why you can see the sensor directly in the RP and R5.

Excellent post -- I appreciate your perspective.
Pivot to CR Guy's own words:
...and recognize there has to be (at a brand/segment level) some sort a tipping point to leave mirrors, Canon will know when it is, and Canon will have a plan to get to the future state.
A purge of mirrored product lines is coming. I see the crop SLR lines and less unit-moving FF SLRs going early and the bread and butter pro stuff with high L lens pullthrough going late. 'Early' is already happening (remember the 760D/77D line? will we ever see a 7D3?). But when 'late' is happening -- when they start killing off the characters I really like on this show -- is a big TBD.

The RP also lacks a mechanical first curtain, which I think is the real reason instead of the "RP users are dumber than R users, they will poke their fat fingers through the curtain" reason Canon gave.

Totally off topic, but you… look very different from what my mental image has been.

Presumably the remote control terminal. They're on the front now for many bodies, I presume for peaceful L-bracket coexistence:

That snap of me on Twitter is a stock photo. I actually look like the Simpson's comic book store guy just like you thought.
