The Canon EOS R5 and EOS R6 will be announced in the first few days of July

Camera Owner: "No, that's not a new camera, I just cleaned it."
Spouse: "Why are you taking pictures of that other camera and looking at Ebay all the time?"

I’m wondering if I could get away with selling my R and getting an R5 and R6 and get away with just the R6 being new

Now that we have a month's notice, maybe we should we start a forum discussion where we can start practicing excuses to justify the purchase to loved ones and concerned onlookers.

"Yes, I already have a camera, but I don't have that camera!"

I just bought the RP to have it as my backup camera when I get the R5, Ive been sitting on RF lenses this past month with no body... so I couldn’t go 2 months without a camera to play with those lenses and this is greaaat news!!!

 

[PhotoRN86]

Wait a min... so the R5 and R6 will be released about the same time as one another?

 

[Mark3794]

Oh really? Can you share what EF lenses are having good deals?

Mainly teles... 70-200 f4l is mint conditions at 500/550 euros, 300mm F4l is at 550

My card slot is almost completely broken. No, I can't get another 70D, it has to be an R5...

We'll see how it goes

You must be referring to the 6. The 5 rez is a known number.

Really? AFAIK the number of 40+MP is speculation. Never confirmed. Certainly not by Canon.

 

[Maximilian]

I think we've heard that before ("July"). So why waking us up again with not much detail? *yawn*
Wake me up, when you know the exact date, then I set the alarm clock.

speculation, but it could make sense. Minimum is 33mpix, that's a given.

Man, I thought the wait just for Endgame's title was the most dragged out and irritating tease/publicity stunt... I guess Canon is aiming for MCU dollars (and/or yen).

Then you've clearly never purchased a promised product from Red...legendary hype, followed by epic waits. But the waits are usually worth it.

 

[PhotographerJim]

I'm really looking forward to trying out the R5. Looks like I sold my 5Dmk4 just in time (last year).

Best not to run it past the Financial Controller Or at least be very vague about pricing...

@Canon Rumors Guy Is there any chance to see an updated M5 and M50 bodies coming in July too?

 

[justaCanonuser]

Shooting wildlife I recently learned from a guy who had a new 1D X III, that its low light performance is really impressive. So I hope the R6 will serve stills shooters looking for clean images @ high ISOs about the same way. Not everyone wants a big dual grip camera body.

Not really sure what we are waiting on at this point. Tomorrow is just as good as sometime in July to announce it unless they are holding off for the virus to come to an end(which could be another six months). Ether way it will be interesting to get a glimpse at what is coming up next, even if it wont matter until wildlife lenses come out.

It will more than that. Depending on the horizontal resolution of the 8K mode (I don't think this information has been released) you have two minimum resolutions the R5 could have:
8K UHD - 7680 pixels wide gives a minimum of 39.3MP
"DCI" 8K - 8192 pixels wide gives a minimum of 44.7MP

Have you heard of Duke Nukem Forever?
Promo material released between first announcement in 1997 all the way up to the game's release in 2011!

 

[justaCanonuser]

Eventually, the prediction of "Next Month" will become reality.

Yes, but obviously only for a limited number of lucky ones who manage to get an R5/6 already that month.

 

[bbasiaga]

man that's another month! I just really want to know where that R6 lands.

Good for those who kept their gameboys somewhere in the attic
