Canon EOS R1, EOS R5 Mark II & More tomorrow at 6:00AM EDT/12:00PM CEST

[Canon Rumors]

Tomorrow (July 17, 2024) is the day we finally see the Canon EOS R1 and Canon EOS R5 Mark II in all their glory. There will also be a lot more things announced. Kudos to Canon for keeping the lid tight, as we simply haven't been able to publish anything official about the new gear.

I think I'll pass on preorder this time. Need to see the detailed specs and reviews. Unless there's something exceptional like 16-bit raws with 16 stops of DR and/or raw histogram.

Sadly, it is real!
He'll probably get "replaced" with a young, dynamic, inexperienced and cheaper employee...

Does the announcment tommorow also mean, that all the reviewers/influencers already had their time with the camera? So will there be a lot of preview/review videos beeing published when the embargo ends?

The reason why we don't get the same info from rumors is that there used to be a guy in Japan who called himself Nokishita. He somehow had inside info. He was always right and would leak info before a launch. Some speculated that he somehow had access to a server that kept the marketing materials for the new cameras, perhaps from a camera store that received them, maybe from a printing company they all used, etc. Either way he was the single source of most leaked info right before a launch. All of the rumor sources used him. For some reason he stopped (or was made to stop), and so now we don't get the same degree of info.

Tbh although it's fun to speculate, I never understood the appeal of leaks. Why does it matter if we get the details today or tomorrow? But then I'm never in the market for preordering.

No, atleast not with the R1.

Here’s hoping they finally release a goddamn raincover with eyepiece to fit on R systems. Jesus f christ
