'The EOS R5 won’t begin shipping until September'
Does that mean the R5 beats the 1DX as the longest development to availability camera?
Stock seems to be stuck at same level. Does it move on announcement day. Are you going to keep it long term. May be these new offerings improve earnings goings forward.September! Guess I will keep on buying stocks until then!
Good job you’re not a desperate gearhead who can afford to wait to buy it at a reasonable priceWell for me I am in a serious situation.
Because borders are closed to normal travel, I will have to purchase the the EOS R6 online at B&H and ship it to my country. Incurring an additional $918 us dollars in import duty and local tax. So if the R6 is $2500, my cost will be $3418.
I will have to wait for borders to reopen, so I can get someone to bring it in their luggage, to avoid the ridiculous duty and taxes.
Who knows when that will be ;(
Out of curiosity I just looked at the Sony Alpha rumor site. This was their news:
"RUMOR: Sony A7sIII official announcement after the EOS-R5 launch"
Now I don't revel in bashing Sony, but anyone reading their comments about the (again) postponed announcement of the A7s3 will probably understand their frustration, where there were more positive comments about Canon than I thought possible. It seems to me that Sony knows the A7S3 can't compete on ability with the R5(or R6 price), so all they can do is see what Canon's pricing is so that they can try to compete with a lesser price. I guess this will make a lot of the Canon rumors people smile.

They had the best selling camera in the A7III for a long time... So it would make sense that they dragged their feet on introducing a new body, when there wasn't any real competition. But now with R5 and R6, they will have to update themselves.
Unfortunately for them, as long as they have that outdated EMount design, they wont be able to match the Canon system of body and lense. IMO of course
It's IBIS that is hurt by the tiny E-Mount.

That is some fun speculation. But it has a sprinkle too much Harry in it for meWouldn't it be something if the R5/6 are a joint effort with Sony to exchange sensor tech for RF mount licensing? And all new Sony bodies would be RF mount, and Sony could move away from the restrictive E-mount without having to make a single lens. Minds blown.
The Zeiss-like sharpness and wide open bokeh character of the RF L lenses has had me suspicious for a while now of some sort of Canon/Sony/Zeiss alliance.
