R5 Available before the end of July! R6 by the end of August!

[vjlex]

According to Nokishita, looks like the R5 will be on sale in Japan in just a couple weeks before the end of July! I imagine it will be the same for other locations.

Shipping of the R5, RF600mm, and RF800mm are set to start July 30 in the USA. He can't yet confirm an R5 lens kit, but the R6 will be available as body only as well as an RF24-105mm lens kit.

キヤノン「EOS R5」の国内発売日は7月下旬らしい(アメリカのとある販売店ではR5とRF800mmとRF600mmの出荷開始日が2020年7月30日に設定されている)。国内ではR5のレンズキットは現時点では確認できていない(R6はボディのみとRF24-105mmSTMキットを確認)。

Am I reading this wrong?? We don't have to wait till September to actually buy them (if we're lucky enough to get one)??

July release would be amazing!

I hope it's real. CR reported in June that the R5 would be released in September, while the R6 would be released before it in August. To me it makes more sense to offer the more expensive and higher end offering first, but I know better than to doubt CR guy's info.

Any word on price?

The thing that excites me most about those posts is the mention of "DPAF II", I wonder what they changed compared to the 'old' DPAF.

I can't wait to take better, faster photos of people wearing masks! Whooo hooooo!

Seriously, any thing reminding us of normal times is a blessing. Go Canon!
