Is This The Canon EOS M5 Pricing? [CR1]

[Canon Rumors]

A member over at the <a href="http://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=244&t=4918376">mobile01.com forum</a> claims this is the pricing for the soon-to-be-announced Canon EOS M5. What’s interesting is there appears to be a $100 discount if you preorder the body only, or with the 15-45mm IS STM kit lens. The brand new EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM kit doesn’t get the same preorder discount.</p>
<p class="p1">We cannot confirm the reported pricing at this time.</p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">EOS M5 Pricing:</span></strong><span class="s1"> (all pricing USD)</span></p>

that would fall in line with canon USA's other G series and M3 pricing where they announced at one, and immediately at pre-order had it for $100 off.

it would also fall in line with canon NOT giving out package discounts for packages with new lenses.

That is incredible pricing for a camera that comes with 80D sensor.

Kinda puts the brakes on people who say Canon won't cannibalise themselves.

I have been a happy owner of the M (original) and whilst I have said I didn't particularly want the size of a built in viewfinder I find this M5 intriguing, a G5X on steroids with the sensor to match and interchangeable lenses, whats not to like! I'll definitely take a look at one, the quality from an APS sensor can't be ignored and the 80D one is a gem, besides I got the original as an occasional 'backup' and can;t help but think the M5 would do that task much better.

That seems very reasonable ... Hope this gets confirmed.

I would pre-order the body only option at that price. Of course the $100 off would make me want to pre-order even more, but surely we're not going to get that in Europe ... :-\

If I wasn't currently thinking about buying a 5D4 this + the 22/2 would be an instant buy.

So the price of the 18-150mm will be around $400? I have mixed feelings about that. I have Sony's 18-105mm f/4 for my a6000 and I find that lens so useful and the image quality is decent. That lens goes for $600. Was hoping Canon would release something similar for the M series. I'd rather have constant f/4 than the extra 45mm, even if it costs more.

Otherwise, I think the $799 body-only preorder price is competitive and tempting.

It makes more sense for Canon at this price. Current market for APC mirrorless is hand full out there.

 

[crashpc]

Reasonable price. Wonder what price will that be for Europe. Also first reviews need to get posted to find if those specs are up to the expectations.

 

[mitchel2002]

i can only hope its the real price with these specs they will sell out faster then you can say preorder

Well if you paste what the person said in that forum into google translate then he says he dreamt these prices and in the dream decided to buy an A6300 instead

Just go back to sleep a sleep , dream saw EOS M5 empty body price is $ 899 magnesium , magnesium sale price is $ 799 . $ 199 with 15-45 lens plus magnesium , so pricing is $ 1098 magnesium , magnesium sale price is $ 998 . If the match is 18-150 lens, pricing and pre-sale price is $ 1198 magnesium.
Dreamed this price , I cried in a dream after a while decided to buy the A6300 .

Do you think that the M5 will have even better noise performance than the 80D due to the fact that it has DiGiC7 instead of 6?

If the pricing will be around ~800 € in the EU, I will be more than happy. Played around with some 80D RAW files and it's amazing! Low ISO DR performance is even better than my 6D because the noise is a bit more uniform and pleasing.

 

[crashpc]

Didn't play with 80D files yet but it doesn't look so good in Dpreview test scenes. Well, I guess Europeans will have it for 869 and brits will be ripped off with 899 pounds.

I'd expect the OOC jpegs to be better due to the DIGIC 7 but no real difference in the raw files.

 

[crashpc]

Compared to G7X and G7X II, I would not believe image quality will go up just because of processor. G7X II looks even worse to me, than first version.

869?? If the US price is indeed ~$900 then EU prices will almost certainly be over €1000 :/

Good price for body! It seems Canon wants to sell. About the new kit, Im not sure because I don't know about this new lens. If it's similar to efm 55 -200, that kit should be around a $1000.

Those prices are exclusive of tax. A direct conversion for body only is £681, £817 inc VAT but they'll be other stuff on top of that. So I'd be happy with £900.

That low price can't be true. It's an 80D mirrorless with DPAF and an EVF and a magnesium shell with 4 dials!

1200-1800 is more like it, Canon style.

If it sells for 799$ well WOW. I'll buy one as soon as I possibly can!

It will do wonders for me going out with a mirrorless + adapter + some 50mm Canon and Manual m42 glass. A video/Portrait monster.

The problem of course is this is a rumour about a rumour. Which one is right?
It may be the price is actually correct, but the spec rumours are wrong and it doesn't have the 80D DPAF sensor, just an update to the M3 one...
