But there ain't no rumour of FF DSLRs dropping any time soon, is there?Not if Canon rolls out a same-internals SLR alongside this R5, which I believe they will. That's your 5D5 right there.

Yes. Canon strategy clear now.
Only one question now: is 5DV dead?
EOS R5 @ $2999 ? Nobody buy 5DV.

5D5 always more expensive than R5.
If R5 + EF-RF less than 5D5, why buy 5D5?
looking at the specs, who thought the R was going to be more than $2400? I thought it was going to be $1500. No IBIS, one card slot, cropped 4K etc...everyone else thought it was overpriced too, which is why it didn’t sell until Canon dropped it to $1200. If the R with its average specs was $2400, you expect that fully loaded R5 with those specs to be anything less than a9 II prices?
If photography means a snapshot to you at a constant shutter speed with No strobes or speedlites used then sure. Why wouldn’t you ....TRY TO UNDERSTAND... Photography and videography have the same destiny, it's a fact since the beginning mates... Talking about video specs here is very fun because photographers are always underestimating the importance of the increasing of the video resolution. When you will burst in 8K at 30fps in video mode (or more res, in RAW, at ISO 300 000 000 with DPAF in 2040), what will photography become?.. Something marginal more and more, a long exposure life style, an artistic tool... Maybe i miss some technical issues, but we walked on moon, or was it fake??... Maybe i'm dreaming sometimes, i don't know... Or you're denying!! Haha
Photography is not an art? What Does it mean to you then? Just couriousI'm a tech geek (MS EE), I don't think photography is an art, and I have close to 500,000 images under management. I don't think I have any pictures of brick walls, but I do have a few thousand test shots taken with various equipment for various reasons.
Photography that isn’t an artistry is a snapshootery and therefore isn’t a media for artist but rather for snapshootersCameras are like paintbrushes, anybody can pick them up and use them, most paint walls with a tin of emulsion from Home Depot or Lowes, some paint the Sistine chapel.
Your photography might not be art, and there is no shame in that, but to imply some artists don’t use photography as a medium goes too far. Photography can be art but most photography isn’t, also most photographers are not artists But some are.
We get it. You hate EVFs.The pixel density is too low to replace a 7D Mark II for long-reach applications (17MP in APS-c mode) and no information about the usability of the viewfinder (I find all Sony's and both Canon's to be unusable, so whether or not I ever switch away from SLRs depends heavily on this point).
No, this isn’t acceptable in a professional product. Take it back to the drawing board.No mention of platinum contacts for the hotshoe either
What about 4k120p? That almost seems more far-fetched to me. Is a FF mirrorless body even capable of handling that? I think it would need cooling fans.Regarding all the people who are skeptical about the R5 shooting 8K video, this is most likely implemented in a time-lapse mode. Remember the Nikon Z7 mirrorless which was introduced in Aug 2018 is also 45 MP and shoots 8K time-lapse videos.
