You are correct - there could be other reasons not to develop a 5D5.
The primary alternative reason I can think of is very simple: collapsing demand for DSLRs in the market place. According to CIPA, there was a 32% decline in DSLR sales in 2019.
I’m with those who believe that the ubiquity of the smartphone camera is the reason for this. We who are posting on DSLR forums are a niche. The iPhone is by far the world’s most popular camera, statista.com says, with more than 750 million in use. I don’t see that number going anywhere but upward. At the same time, the market will settle down and I feel certain that there will be a continuing demand for interchangeable-lens digital cameras.
Hopefully we get some further information when the R5 is introduced.
Right again. As always, the proof of the pudding is in the tasting!
