Are we expecting the news to break tonight (Japan Time) or tomorrow (NA Time)? Can I go to bed? lol
Usually comes in around 7 or 8am central european time zone (usually from Amsterdam ) .. or around 11 or 12pm EST.

Card transfer rate directly affects buffer depth because the camera’s constantly flushing the buffer to the card while you’re still shooting. It’s a FIFO, or a circular buffer, in computer science parlance. That’s how the 1Dx3 (and some older bodies in JPEG mode) can achieve ”infinite buffer depth”.
Kinda what I was assuming. Thanks for the confirmationUsually comes in around 7 or 8am central european time zone (usually from Amsterdam ) .. or around 11 or 12pm EST.
Having access to a cheaper holy trinity will make or break this mount.
Nooo!!!! We need to hang on to all the semi-rational people we can.

I'd say that's a good guess.My bet goes to $3999.
For everyone predicting a price north of $3,699, consider the following:
If this camera will, indeed, be called the R5, it is highly likely that it will be targeted to the same overall market segment as the 5D series. This means it has to balance price and feature set to keep it approximately in the same league. Specs will have fine print and limitations that keep the price appropriate for its positioning and intended market. In addition, the global market continues to contract. The price will need to be competitive to accomplish what Canon has stated its intent to be, which is to aggressively capture marketshare in the full fame mirrorless space. The features of the R5 will be aggressive (compared to Canon's recent years), but they won't be so incredible that they demand a price that pushes it out of position for its target market.
The 5D series has a pretty solid track record of lower-to-mid $3K range. I predict the R5 will have aggressively-fantastic-but-realistically-limited features and will be $3,299 to $3,499 at launch.
Actually the 8k may be almost free. The sensor is big enough to give full color fidelity for 4k video. That means you have 4 photosites for each pixel. 2 green and 1 red and 1 blue. The luminance value for each pixel is the roughly the average of the 4 luminance values for the 4 photosites and the color is the RGB value derived from the 4 color values. For 8k video you use the same 4k color value applied to each of the 4 photo sites but use the individual luminance value for each to get 8k pixels (actually 32 million). This does not give you quite as good color as a true 8k camera with 3 or 4 color sites for each 8k pixel but it is pretty good for a $3-4,000 camera. Its just a different processing algorithm for the same RAW data.Great specs, although very few people are really ready for 8k. I personally won't use 8k in near future. Yet this feature will definitely cost us additional 1000 dollars at least. Other specs me likey. Finally, IBIS.

Using the car analogy: who needs spare tires? *I’ve* never had a flat
no traditional mode dial?? that was one of my gripes about the eos r. even the rp has one.
Well, we'll likely find out in a couple of hours. The consensus in the last 18 pages is that it's probably genuine, bearing in mind this will be a development announcement, and it's therefore likely to be a pre-production model being photographed..The picture looks doctored. I mean it got like 1:1 the same housing like an EOS R with just a few buttons added.
Then this weird R5 plate. Why would Canon, instead of putting a nice shiny plate like the EOS R has, suddenly just put a cheap print there?
Seems fishy to me.
If any of us were fully rational we wouldn't be on this forum.
