Hi all,

Canon has said they may not develop more EF lenses. They did not say they wouldn't develop EF mount cameras. I wouldn't write off the EF 5 series or the Rebel series just yet.
It took me months of using nothing but the EOS R exclusively coming from a 5D Mk4 before the EVF stopped feeling weird and disconnected. But you know what, at this point it feels just as natural as an OVF used to. In fact, now, what I can't get used to is going back to an OVF and not seeing the view through the viewfinder get brighter or dimmer when I change my camera settings.I really like my EOS R, bought mostly for using Leica M and R lenses, but I still prefer the "real" view through an OVF.
I have the whole native EF environment.
The AF system of the R5 in fexiblility and speed (together with yet to buy RF lenses - even more money)
Has Canon stated that the difference in communication between lens and camera via the RF mount speeds up AF and fps? Is the communication faster, and if it were faster, is communication speed the bottleneck?If you already have a big EF environment you don't need to switch to the RF one. The lenses works just as good with the DSLR as with a mirrorless.
Going for a 5D mkV will not improve give you better focusing speed than what you would get with a R5 and adapted EF lenses (unless maybe if the use the focusing unit from the 1DX series, but that is quite unlikely). What I mean by that is:
5D mkV with EF = R5 with EF < R5 with RF. Your bottle neck in term of focusing, FPS etc will be your EF glass as the RF lenses have faster communication channels with their body.
So I hardly see how a 5D mkV would be a better improvement than the R5 (aside from the point of view of the ayatollah of the OVF )

Of course I know that Canon has done a good job regarding backward compatibility. But I don't know, if your formula is right. Do you?If you already have a big EF environment you don't need to switch to the RF one. The lenses works just as good with the DSLR as with a mirrorless.

Electronic shutter up to approx. 20 fps with AF/AE tracking: Applies to some RF/EF lenses, when the aperture is fully open. See Canon’s official website for a list of compatible lenses. Burst shooting speed varies depending on the shutter speed, aperture setting, aperture condition during continuous shooting, subject conditions, brightness (especially in dim conditions), and type of lens. Mechanical shutter up to approx. 12 fps with AF/AE tracking: When using RF lenses and some EF lenses. See Canon’s official website for a list of compatible lenses. Burst shooting speed varies in up to 3 stages, depending on the battery type, remaining battery charge, number of batteries, lens in use, temperature, setting of the built-in Wi-Fi (On/Off), and whether or not you are using a battery grip and WFT unit, DC coupler or USB power adapter. In addition to the above factors, the maximum burst shooting speed may decrease due to shutter speed, aperture, flash usage, flicker reduction processing, subject conditions, brightness (especially in a dark place).
