I admit this probably won't be the camera for me. That doesn't mean it won't sell well, just not what I was hoping for.
I was hoping it would be an R companion to the 1DX III -- slightly slower frame rate, two SDII slots, better autofocus and a few other comprises that would keep the price and positioning down but be a low light monster that would still be useful as a second body at times. Unfortunately, for me at least, this looks more like the 6D companion most people have predicted.
My latest guess about positioning:
RP stays in the lineup, but may drop in price.
R stays in the lineup, but may drop in price.
R6 is priced about where the R started, but possibly slightly lower.
R5 could be anywhere from $2,500 - $4,000, depending on final specs.
R5 and 5D V share the same sensor and have comparable specs. Not sure which one will be priced lower, or if they will essentially be the same price.
Regardless, it is going to be fun to see what Canon has in store for us and then read all the whining on Canon Rumors.
