Canon EOS R5 Specifications

[AEWest]

There's 100% going to be a 5D5. The mirrorless beast will feed on other product lines before that one goes.

And 1-series will lose their mirrors last of all.

Mirrorless will consume the mirrored product lines, I concede, but not in some 1-2 year frantic purge. A few may already have happened (no 7D3, no 5DS2 possibly, etc.), but I see this ultimately taking place over a period of numerous product cycles -- think 10 years, not two.

What options would a 5D user have if Canon said in two weeks "Here is the new R5, it will replace the 5D line"?

They can't go to Nikon - they are going through the same transition. Of course Sony is all mirrorless.

I think the transition will happen much quicker than 10 years simply due to lenses. In the shrinking ILC camera market all manufacturers have to rationalize costs and having to support two distinct lens lines for that length of time does not make economic sense.

Then you have failed.

Excuse me? A99 II is a formidable camera, albeit a bit nutty -- but there is a mirror.

Sorry, your language has failed.

My point is that some things can't be analyzed like a mathematical model. Art, I believe, is one of those things, as it is inherently emotional.

Oh, come on, it's not that hard.

Art is the property of an artifact (i.e. man-made object) being subjectively perceived as "unique" in the context of mainfestation of two evolutionarily stable strategies of Homo sapiens: fashion and conspicuous consumption.

Yeah? YEAH??? Well, I like turtles.

No reason to bring Fuji into this

I stand corrected. I was thinking of the a7 line.

Of course. Leica would be much more suitable.

And definitely not Canon. Canon is mass-market, not art. Even 1DX III.

That's one hell of a secrecy cover they are using to hide the design:

I wish I hadn't wasted time reading the other 1092 posts to get to this really really good one!

Fantastic! Does it come in EF or RF mount?

New mount. If you load it incorrectly, you lose a finger.

I see on DPReview that Nikon is offering a trade up program. I think Canon should offer a trade up program for the 5R to any Sony user who now sits in a state of disappointment with their "old school" (vintage? retro?) mirrorless.

I swear I almost posted an Energizer Bunny pic in here last night.........

Canon appears to have made a tilt-shift...bird

Ain't she a beaut?

• Biomimetic gimbal design -- 10 stops IBIS for sure
• It's a drone, too
• Two lenses --> sees in 3D
• Battery life extreme provided you brought snacks
• It may will poop on you
• Minimal eye strain unless you try to try to look through its rear 'viewfinder', in which case it plucks out your eyes
• Image transfer technology still being worked out
• Your $3500 investment may fly off into the hands of a Sony owner

My first DSLR was the Canon D6, around 1998, I think. It was about $2,000 and had a 6MP APSC-sized sensor. I didn’t even know what dynamic range was. I forget the FPS, but not much. I put a grand down at the local camera store — remember those? — and waited about nine months for it because of the back orders. Three months after I picked it up, Canon announced the improved and cheaper 10D. It’s really been an amazing photographic ride ever since.

remember? I still have a D6 and it was working last time I checked 2yrs ago.. I should check again - edit. . reading the discussions, I better check, maybe it was a D60.
