Remember the $999 Rebel?Because Canon would sell a ton of them and this seems like it's the rumoured low cost FF.

And if THAT happens, where does EOS R or RP fit in that scheme? One might argue that neither do, and we might not see R2 or RP2 happen.
Probably taken out the back and quietly shot.
I still can't wrap my head around you not buying the rf 50mm 1.2L. Heavenly. All anybody could ever want in a 50 except compactness
Where are the cheap and lightweight RF-mount lenses to accompany the R6?
and IS
and not being FBW
and light
and mounting on my EF camera
Other than that, it's just what I want.
So were the R and RP just starter models with throwaway names?
Will the future be:
R1 (some face melting gripped sports volcano)R5S (high res)R5 (today's earlier rumor)R6 (this thread's rumor)
And a relatively modest 20 MP sensor in a 20 fps (we presume not gripped) body as the entry price point spec on that list?

Agreed not enough info yet but the 12fps bit .... something feels off. How could both the R5 and R6 share that key spec? And that absolutely would NOT put it at or below the RP. I’m wondering some specs are getting lost/crossed in rumor translation. Cant see how these two both would offer that without some radical other differences (more than just sensor size that is)I still see R6 = lower prestige / cost to the R5.
R6/R5 feels very similar to Z6/Z7 for Nikon, but in reverse (in their non-gripped FF world, higher numbers are better cameras)
R6 = 6D3 to me. It may excel at video, but we don't have enough info to know if that's what this rig is for.

How are they going to manage heat in these bodies, for video? Cooling fans?
This is a lot more believable than the R5 specs, at least.
Not with those specs it aint. No way.

Can't imagine anyone I know tolerating fewer pixels, knowing how these cameras are used, and that they do need to crop and print their images.
The R5 will have 2 card slots, the R6 one.Agreed not enough info yet but the 12fps bit .... something feels off. How could both the R5 and R6 share that key spec?

I will say that my hands are not steady. But the way that the Rf 50mm f/1.2L balances, and the shutter speeds we enjoy at f/2.2 and lower, together work to make IS something I don't miss. However, if video were a factor, then IS would be important.
Plus, I just took for granted when I bought in to the Rf mount that IBIS would be coming at some point, and that the primes would get even better because of it.
