If it shares a sensor with the coming R5 it will come in at 44M.I'd love to see somewhere between 35-40

I am confident they will. DSLRs will always be better at some things. Even in a shrinking market, I believe there will be room for at least two full frame bodies as there are likely to always be a substantial percentage of customers that don't want mirrorless and Canon is in the business of selling cameras, not telling people what they should buy. The 1Dx is a very specialized body, so it makes sense that Canon will keep an all-around body available for those who don't like mirrorless.I truly hope they keep making them, some of us aren't interested in EVF's and all that wizardry.
Hi all, I am very interested to see if Canon will release either a EOS Mark V or a newer mirrorless R model in the middle of 2020? What do you think will release first? And do you think both bodies will be released in year 2020?
IMHO...I'd not hold my breath or put money down on a DSLR 5D5 coming out.....<P>
I think the 5D4 replacement WILL be the R5 mirrorless version. I don't think there will be a 5D5 produced.
At least, that's where I'd put my money down on a bet......

It's all a guessing game. No one knows anything. Please don't act like you do. You don't. (that includes me)
Yeah you're right, just no one here works at Canon. Bummer, right?some people know..they just aren't saying yet.

I still believe that a 5D5 will come out. Similar to 90D/M6ii, it would share the inards of the R5. Makes sense (to me) and completes the APC-S/5D/1D last DLSR versions. The mirror flipping mechanism could come from the 1DXii (maybe limited in speed for less oil splatters), body the same as the current version with sensor/IBIS/computation from the R5. Effectively making it from current parts with minor changes. It would (similar to the 1DXiii) have more features in liveview but provides for better battery from the OVF if needed. I can't see new technology like a hybrid OVF/EVF being implemented but more than happy for Canon to surprise me.could be. But there are lurkers everywhere that probably do have insight, but are unable to say.
In my outsider opinion, I think the top two camera's in the DLSR format, the 1D and the 5D series stay in the lineup alongside their mirrorless equivalents. Have both for those who prefer one or the other.
Makes business sense to me to cater to your customer's needs rather than visa versa.
I agree with you. Canon is obviously pushing for RF, so I doubt they will make 5D5...

One group thinks Canon wants to drive people toward mirrorless technology. Another group thinks Canon just wants to sell cameras and doesn't care if you buy mirrorless or mirrored as long as it has a Canon nameplate on it.
I'm firmly in the second camp. Others are firmly in the first. Only time will tell.
Tbh I am a little surprised. I honestly thought that with the economic devastation atm that canon would have shelved(or at least substantially delayed) a 5Dv.
some people know..they just aren't saying yet.
These two quotes pretty much sum up the different viewpoints.

Again though, it's all a matter of conjecture and point of view.Well, one other thing to throw into the mix.
With the pandemic and SO many people losing jobs and economic stagnation (to put it lightly)....the market for higher end cameras may be shrinking even more than before.
So, possibly, Canon might have to make a decision....choose between 5D5 or R5. At this point IF that is the case....since R5 is already close to crossing the finish line to get into the public....which do you think they would choose?
Of course this is all purely conjecture......but economically, this choice of 1vs the other might seriously come into play at this point.

Just how far off the 5D4 production line would the Mark5 be? Not very. Tooling and other expenses have been recouped long ago. The 5D5 is a no brainer.
I'd like to have an example of Canon holding off on a new version while waiting for existing inventory to be liquidated.That also depends on how many 5D Mark IV bodies are in existing inventory worldwide. Canon has cut the price for the 5D Mark IV significantly, but they'll still wait until most of those have moved before releasing a successor. In the past it has been fairly obvious at times that they were holding off on releasing a newer version of a lens or body until existing inventories of the predecessor could be liquidated.

I don't believe too many manufacturers these days stockpile much inventory. Canon is a pretty sophisticated manufacturer and I would bet they avoid keeping excess inventory on hand. Retailers may have inventory, but that's not Canon's problem.
