I have been bugging a lot of people about when Canon announcements were coming in 2025, I knew there were two more dates, but I didn’t know when. These dates are 99% accurate unless something goes sideways. Announcement Dates Canon will have two announcement dates in November. We will see new gear announced on November […]

Amazing that Canon is keeping up with this 2 year cycle to upgrade the R6. That is very fast and it is smoking Sony, who's A7IV is 4 years old. I guess they are supposed to announce an A7V soon but rumors are saying that will have incremental updates and cost nearly $3,000 (USD). Seems like a great opportunity for Canon to steal some customers from Sony.

From November 2022 (mkii) to probably November 2025 is three years. Even when counting from mki (July 2020) to mkiii (November 2025) puts it at a 2.5 year cycle.

As much as I dislike Sony Fanboys (I think the company itself is pretty good), why should've Sony updated the mkIV so far? RS seems to be issue, but other than that I don´t see too much reasoning. This will change of course once the r6mkiii is out. R6mkiii will surely be above $ 3.000 as well.

My bet goes that first of those announcements will be dedicated to hobby/consumer products. I would not be surprised if we actually get the new APSC camera together with 32mm f1.4 prime and a constant aperture f2.8 normal zoom lens. If I remember it was said last year that 2025 will be the one with more APSC related releases.

The second announcement can be dedicated to advanced user/professional FF lens. Otherwise I do not see the reason of having two announcements scheduled so close, they must be somehow topically, target user distinct.

I stand corrected, it was about 2 years from the R6 Mk I to the Mk II and 3 years now assuming the Mk III comes out soon. And that makes sense since the Mk II holds up well to the A7IV. Readout speed combined with the 4k60 fps crop are the Achilles heel of the A7IV. Hard to believe that we are talking $3,000 (USD) for both the R6III and A7V but I guess that's the problem with inflation. Interesting that Nikon didn't seem to get the memo though.

It's not just inflation. It's the uncertainty about constant fluctuation in tariff rates for prices in the U.S.

I get the impression that Canon's announcements now come later in the calendar year? Would that be correct?

The R5 C had a first quarter release in 2022.

The R8, R7, R10, R50V, and R100 all had 2nd quarter releases over the past three years.

The R1, R3, R5, R5 Mark II, and R6 all had third quarter releases over the past five years.

The R6 Mark II is the only one in the past five years with a 4th quarter release.

A new R7 Mk II, built in the fashion of the R5/R6 bodies, along with a 300-600 f/4-5.6L, "could" cause me to spend some money.
I will certainly be ordering an R7 Mark II as soon as we have an announcement with a full spec, assuming it's the camera most of us want. I want the lens too, but it can wait until I've had a few weeks of hands on with my 100-500 and adapted EF 600.
