The Canon EOS R5 will begin shipping before the Summer Olympics
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
At the real high pressure events the top shooters are not using WiFi, they're tethering via the gigabit ethernet port.
According to the current article they said that they would ship it before the Summer Games. Who would bet his life that there will be an Olympics in Tokyo in 2020.Hmmm, Canon still thinking they will ship this in July? Maybe, but I'm dubious based on what's going on right now.I'll just leave this here...

I only posted it as a reference that these are the camera bodies that Canon uses to establish your eligibility for Canon PROFESSIONAL Services. Reality is that the points are price/age of body weighted. It was na information point. Canon apparently considers these bodies as qualifying for special attention and treatment - much different service than when my M5 died.

I shot a 7D as a second body from 2011 until 2015. It was not a "pro" body. It was a "not quite ready for prime time" body that felt like a pro body when shooting, but didn't look like a pro body when examining the output.
The 7D Mark II is the "pro" body that the 7D should have been.

Regardless, it is used as a method of evaluation to qualify for Canon Professional Services. If this gear qualifies for a pro oriented service offering and is used to qualify for that service, does Canon consider a pro level body? The Cinema cameras are the only other bodies used to determine eligibility - no XXD M, etc..
Maybe we need a separate offering - Canon Prosumer Services!
You guys are taking this WAY too seriously.

To me it's all vaporware. After the 1DXMKIII being such a disappointment for us "low life" still sports shooters.... I don't think Canon is anywhere near a professional body that will show a marked improvement in IQ with an OVF. Canon pushing the MKIII for the Olympics is almost laughable. It's a very modest "still" improvement and to be considered and upgrade is insulting.
The IQ is horrible, the color rendition is flat and muddled, definition lacks, noise in shadows at moderate and low ISO show clear green and purple, DR is very poor in contrasting areas, the ovf focus points when using single-point are hard to see, the awb is off to such an extent on some settings that we felt there must be an upgrade or firmware fix or something coming, the reader the camera came with does not work, wi-fi and communications protocols are not intuitive, the scrolling menus are nice but static, shooting mode should have large easy to read and responsive indicators in the VF well lit. Canon got the 1DXMKIII so wrong and it's buggy with some lenses, strobes and flashes, Now we want to talk a bout "another" pro body??? How about they get the one that came out a few days ago right first??????
Frustrating seeing promos, marketing and rumors to boots interest or sales in a future camera(s) when others are left baffled at what Canon is doing "Today" in "Reality" where we expected a "flagship" that was supposed to be a marked upgrade for still sports photographers. How do you not improve IQ???????

Please post some of the RAW files you've made with this camera so we can see what you are talking about for ourselves.

The list was copied directly from the CPS site equipment list that qualified minus the Cinema cameras. I just logged into my CPS after seeing your post and looked for your m100 - no m100 on the Add products drop down list. They had added the 90d. There was a c100 Cinema camera on the list.

So, can you explain what you find disappointing about the 1dx III? Sure your aren't talking about the Nikon D6?

Canon has always had prosumer equipment listed in CPS, primarily because a lot of pros would have that for their back up gear.

As a heavy user of the R, I am skeptical that the next generation of mirrorless will have advanced sufficiently to compete with a DSLR for nature or action. I'd like to be wrong, but I'll wait until the R5 is actually released and out in the field before getting my hopes up.

I saw your post on dpreview. you sure you didn't get a body that you're just not happy with? you have historically gotten the worst 1DX Mark II cameras in existance, sounds like it's continuing. Everyone is loving it elsewhere, ie: Fredmiranda.

There has to be some kind of firmware loaded to map the pixels before it leaves the factory. There also must be a basic firmware already loaded that allows the firmware to be updated via a memory card, since the camera must boot and initialize the bus connected to the memory card in order to load the updated firmware.
