I would expect IBIS and some cooling space to make the R5 a least a little bigger than R.

Any sense of when preorders will begin?

April 26th... just for a select few.

From this It looks like the R5 is a fat R.

Who are those few? And when will a normal person like me be able to preorder?

Beautiful! The R6 looks like an interesting little camera.

Gorgeous!! The M6ii is interesting too, and even smaller.

You just have to look closely.

Ah I see it now

I think that is just the angle difference between the two. If you look at the front of the flash mount compared to the body cap, it looks the same. Unless the sensor is farther from the back of the body, they are likely the same depth. I guess the sensor could be farther forward.

The EOS-1's (N, V, DsI DsII DsIII) have been my favorite cameras to hold. The R is too small for comfort, OR a sure and steady grip for me. Although I like the portability aspect, I think I can get that via the smaller lenses and shorter film-flange distance. I don't care if the camera's taller.

Here's a question: has anyone speculated on whether the R5--sort of a 5-series, is going to be the top end? Or is anyone noticing holes in the specs suggesting a higher-end camera would be forthcoming? What I'm waiting for is a sensor with new abilities: extended dynamic range, electronic ND, no rolling shutter, etc.

There will absolutely be an R1 next year. Count on it.

Looking at the top-down, the R5 definitely looks a good bit thicker than the R5, including the handgrip, which slopes out towards the lens mount more than on the EOS R. The R5 kinda looks like the curves of the 1DX Mark II from above, with the body sloping towards the Canon logo.

Also looking at the image from the back, the body itself is taller and the handgrip is taller on the R5, they've raised the overall top of the body up towards the hotshoe to give more space.

Overall the ergonomics on this thing look like they've solved any of my problems with the EOS R and I am even more excited for the R5. I wish we could just see the bottom of the camera to see if the viewfinder eyecup can be user replaced for a weathercover eyecup, which is my biggest concern.

I would guess it is as there is an extra joint in the eye cup of the R5 that is likely where it separates--that is not present in the R.

You have mad skills which are one of the following:

1. Clairvoyance
2. B&E into Canons HQ
3. Sources better than Craigs

The screen is definately biggger on the R5.

Is it? Looks more square but black border is larger at the bottom on the R5

I’d like it to be bigger than the R, slightly heavier too. Big heavy lenses just seem too unbalanced on the R. I’m used to the 5D series, anything smaller and lighter feels off.

I agree. Although after adding a battery grip to my EOS R, the sizing and weight felt much better with heavy lenses.

l find it very strange that the R6 is rumored to be released before the R5, but Canon has not presented us with a photo of the R6, yet. Makes me wonder if they are just going to use the body of the RP as an R6, with the different specs of the R6?

By comparing the LCD, it seems the R5 has a smaller viewing real estate than the R... Right? The black bars are thicker in parts...

 

[TAF]

How about an R5 next to a 5D4?

That's what I said earlier, if you measure the actual screen in PS they are very similar.
