Here is the Canon EOS R5, official development announcement soon.

That's fine if you don't care how large the camera is to carry around, but some people do.

5d4 is a good side camera. It is not so large for what it does.

Above, it was mentioned that Sony have the aluued-to A7Siii to come out. So maybe they are being sneaky with the - by giving long-lead announcements on the 8K it may reduce the impact of Sony's announcements whatever it is. A real spoiler, even if the Sony is released first.

At the same time this dev announcement may impact EOS R sales. There shouldn't be a big gap between the dev announcement and the actual release.

(...)Tony Northrup (...) What's his problem?

His problem is that he is just a clickbaiter.

 

[Quackator]

Is the R5 a $5,000 camera or a $1,500 camera?

My bet goes to $3999.

In case the rumours hold true, it looks like this time the CR guy is way ahead of Nokishita who remains silent about the R5. Congrats!

How far advance of product announcement do Nokishita release their information?
If this is all leading to a development announcement rather than a product announcement that may explain it.

Can anyone confirm if the camera photo is real? I need to know if it will have a traditional mode dial or not..

Now we're talking. It better have CFExpress cards. SD cards - even the new upcoming 1GB/s cards - are flat-out too slow for modern megapixel cameras.

I take rumors with a grain of salt, but if this turns out to be true then Canon will come out with an 800lb. gorilla to Sony's pretty-pony.

The tone of their financial report suggested they were fed up with being regarded as laggards and they were going to be very aggressive. Canon does not say a lot and gives even less away on their road map, so when they come out with statements like they did it is like a Trappist monk saying 'that isn't good': you damned well listen. They know what gets customers salivating and the are aware that in the modern world of trial-by-social-media, image (no pun intended) is everything.
They may not be worried by the size of Sony's presence but they are probably concerned by the rate of growth and that is what they need to tackle.

Canon seems to have new sensors and processors ready to go, so they have some cards to play and it looks like they intend to play them aggressively.

I think it will even impact Nikon D6 sales. Heck, they match
or surpass most of the D6 features, and you are likely to get
almost two R5 for the price of one D6!

It's 8:30 AM in Japan. Come on Canon, lets go with the announcement.

Nokishita Camera draw most of their information from retailers. That's why they are both accurate and late to the party. In this case, Nokishita Camera are silent because retailers don't receive much documentation prior to a development announcement.

Yeah, but they care more about carrying, less about using.

It has to be expected that the R5 would be much smaller than the 5D IV. However, since the flange distance is longer on the 5D IV, it changes the perspective. The sensor on the 5d IV will appear slightly smaller than on the R5 at the same distance. Therefore, if you make the sensor size the same on superimposed images of both bodies, you slightly exaggerate the difference in sizes...

I assumed both pictures to be perfectly plane and front facing. As such, this effect should be minimal. But hey, these are pics gathered from the internet, so discrepancies are to be expected. We'll soon see

That said, I really hope there will be a 5D Mark V, the 5D line feels so right in may hand and in front of my eye.

 

[Quarkcharmed]

The sensor on the 5d IV will appear slightly smaller than on the R5 at the same distance.

If the sensors are the same size (which they should be) they will obviously appear the same size viewed from the same distance.

 

[Rule556]

Thanks missed that on my 5d4. But the fingers cover it, somehow Canon makes it work.

Your fingers aren't covering it when you're using the remote.

 

[joestopper]

With those rumoured burst rates, wouldn't you think it would be advantageous to have (2) CF Express cards instead of (1) SD and (1) CF Express?

Burst rates: Buffer depth matters, not card transfer rate. CFExpress is necessary for video only.

Can anyone confirm if the camera photo is real? I need to know if it will have a traditional mode dial or not..

Really? Quantum physicists haven’t confirmed that the Universe is real and you want confirmation that a graphic from a rumors site is real!? Patience.

 

[joestopper]

Excellent. The fewer mechanical interfaces, the better.

Mode dials are so 1980s

Even the 'electronic' mode dial is mechanical! With the difference that one can rotate forever and potentially reach a very high number of modes (so Canon implements them; How a about 10 custom modes instead of 3?).

I feel like this forum is perfectly set for the highest disappointment once the camera is released. After wathcing Canon's disappointing releases for a few years now the video specs, FPS, etc does not look like Canon at all. I am positive that the camera is coming but I feel like there is more marketing BS in the leaked specs. I will be happy to be proven wrong. I started to look for an used RF 24-105 after seeing the rumors and found a great bundle with EOS R RF 24-105 and RF 50 F/1.2 and picked them up in anticipation of the R5. Let's see how this all turns out.

 

[gouldopfl]

Ok, still it's a little weird to be throwing in old recycled photos into a new product announcement. Makes me a little suspicious of the validity of this. I like that the front button is back on the camera though, assuming the image is real, which I'm really not convinced of.

Did you not read that the owner of the site removed the picture he received and replaced it with a current model because he wasn't sure it wouldn't cause issues. I'd rather he keep in the good Grace's of his informants
