Canon EOS R5 pricing is still unknown, don’t believe the reports [CR0]
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
I think that's Peter's point...the key word here is "on a tripod", a tripod is the last thing I'm lugging around when I'm doing a sunset swimsuit shoot half way down the beach; let alone for a model that will probably never do more than upload them to her Instagram feed at a 960x1200 resolution.
Sure you can get razor sharp images out of almost any camera; but when it needs to sit on a tripod to do so it has eliminated pretty much any scenario except nature, studio, or specific commercial work which is not a camera that is going to appeal to the masses.
I shot a runway fashion show with my 5DIV beside a photographer with a 5DS...it was almost comical how blurry his images were; we're talking a low light situation, fast moving models, and no tripod. Obviously he bought into the MP hype.

If Canon was smart and wanted to capture the full frame mirrorless market they would sell the R5 for $3,499. They wouldn't be able to keep up with production if that was the price. If they price the R5 over $5,000 they would lose tons of sales to people who are not pros.

Never ever get a first batch product. Wait for the kinks to be worked out in the second batch.

if the price really is $6700 USD, that will be a no for me, regrettably!
At $6700 USD it goes head to head with the 1DX III. That doesn't seem smart at all to me.

6k they dont need sell it without good profit.
R6 will be with minimal profit 2,5k . gift for poor peoples like 7d.
R and RP were made from cheap parts ,cant compare them to new cameras.
They are doing now big leap to make top quality mirrorless camera possible.

I'm truly curious here...why would you switch to Sony? Based on your signature you have the exact same Canon body and glass that I do and I'm still getting paid every day for photography jobs using my setup; what exactly do you think you are missing that Sony will provide? No matter what the price of the R5 I have no real interest in getting it; my current setup can still handle every job I throw at it.
Now if you say you don't want weather sealing, you don't mind having your sensor last less than 2yrs, you don't like Canon's color science, you like a terrible menu system, and you want terrible ergonomics then your plan to switch makes perfect sense.

Most of that happened between the 2012 launch of the 5D Mark III and the 2016 launch of the 5D Mark IV.

Thought that just crossed my mind: maybe if we spread 10,000 dollar price tag rumors enough Canon will *have* to announce the price, just like they did with the 8K spec clarification
Then again, the more very high priced rumours that get circulated, the more likely it may give Canon ideas that there are enough potential buyers willing to pay that much...

If you can find a Sony lens that isn't at least moderately misaligned from the factory. Just ask Uncle Roger about that.

My prediction is that the MSRP in the U.S. when introduced will be $3,799. After they've milked all of the early adopters and production has caught up with demand it will settle to $3,499 for the next couple of years.

The vlogging market is buying FF cameras en masse? The average vlogger must have deeper pockets than I thought.

As I had suspected all along. The people coming in from out of nowhere complaining the camera does too much...are "getting a Sony" trolls.

Out of nowhere?
Check my profile, the number of messages and threads I've participated. I'm all after Canon. But $4500 USD for the R5 would be too much, and currently it's the only camera from Canon I'm interested in. There's also the prospective high-mp R5s, but it'll be of the same price as R5 or higher.

A.M.: Yes.. I am glad you realise that. The question remains though: why are we even discuss this arbitrary number? It is pointless.
Anything north of US$4,000.00 in USA at launch is not going to fly in present market conditions. My bet is on around US$3,750.00 price at launch.
