I like that estimate, however, go up another hundred.Sometimes if feels good to say "I knew it!" And I still think it will be $3699

I kinda feel like someone at Canon leaked this to get reactions so they can settle on a price that captures the unprecedented demand while also making as much as they can. (Which is understandable, I guess.)
That said, I'll be happy if it's under $4k. $3500 was expected for me, and I'd still buy it at $3999, but with tax and just an extra battery that's already pretty close to $4,500, so it'd probably limit my ability to get much else.
Dude, I’m English! Of course you can’t say a % of a purchase price goes to the NHS but by the same token you have to accept the more generous social programs in most developed countries are paid for via direct and indirect taxation of which a sales tax is an important part in many countries the UK included.R5 needs to significantly below 4k in my opinion. (just sayin')
Its experience.
It has been a 'rule of thumb' for years and is pretty accurate.
For example:
price of 1Dx3 in USA: $6500 (BHP)
price of 1Dx3 in UK: £6500 (WEX)
Used BHP and Wex as they are both large camera retailers, so 'like for like' as it were.
FYI - the NHS is awesome, and is payed through general taxation. You really cannot say 'this % of the sale price' of anything you buy if specifically for the NHS.
Will it shoot 6k RAW? That will be great for me if it did.

Oh by the way, the UK has a higher minimum wage £ to the US$, £8.72 vs $7.25.
Some people even said Model 3 and Model Y are sold below the cost. But watch how Tesla kills competitors.
I would think Canon R5 price above $3500 is "more expensive" than Model 3 or Model Y. Because more people are willing to buy Model 3 or Model Y than spending $3500+ on Canon R5, including me.
That's odd, I heard it was going to have weathersealing, and be a wildlife photographer's dream. I'm not saying you're wrong, no offense, but I hope you are.
And there are millions of people who work under the minimum wage because of the disgusting Minimum Tipped Wage rule where states can set the minimum wage as low as $3.89 and corporations canin 29 US states, there is a local law making it higher than $7.25. Just from eyeballing a bar graph, there are at least 15 states with a wage over $8.50, and they probably cover more than half of our population.
Why do people insist on saying this every time a price for anything is mentioned? UK prices are listed inclusive of tax USA prices are not. In the UK the health service is included in your tax bill, in the USA it is not, personally I'd pay a few hundred dollars more each time I bought a camera and got health insurance included, in the USA you 'save' a few hundred dollars on the cost of your camera and spend $500 every single month on health insurance because "Freedom".
I didn’t start it, I merely presented a counterpoint to an oft used fallacy.Some states/businesses in the U.S. don't charge sales tax. Many people buying these cameras also have jobs which includes health insurance. This is about cameras, not political policies.
A 1 series R camera could have 1 series features.That’s genuinely a lot of camera for that price!
What do you guys think a 1 series mirrorless body could offer over this? Apart from a bump in speed and focus performance it’s hard to imagine a body providing much more really.
vat registered is another matter. I remember buying A6300 cheaper on amazon prime day deal + sony cashback than imported costed. i think was a6300+ kit lens for like 399 after all dealsIn the case of the 5D mkiv I got in on a group buy (official UK retailer) which was £2400. £1000 off the RRP and being VAT registered at the time it cost me 2k a body. E-infin were selling them at £2695 for the first month or so then it went down to £2400(ish). I remember it fairly well as it was the first time I managed to find a UK sourced camera cheaper than import.
Canon makes a LOT on their bodies in the UK.
minimum wage jobs in the US get 5times+ their wage in tipsDude, I’m English!

Maybe the purchaser should sign a statutory declaration confirming camera will only be used for stills and the price will be $2999 otherwise price is $4599..Ok Ok...a very large group says it's going to be EXPENSIVE! They list the video features etc. Then there's another large group that says video features don't drive up the cost. In a Venn diagram there is a pretty sizable overlap here on CR with those two groups.
Me, I'm not even in a circle because I'm not buying one. I do hope it's on the lower end of pricing for all my still comrades out there. (Or priced super high for the video nuts?)

Vertical grip with better batteries, better controls like that fancy optical AF button/controller, matching card slots, buffer depth, better weather sealing, faster mechanical shutter (20 FPS in the 1DX III, 'only' 12 in the R5), connectivity, GPS (Unless the R5 also gets that), better video profiles, ...
