Thanks for London time, which is equal to UTC. Saved me a couple of minutes for googling the time zones. It will be noon in Russia.

I’ll take a guess and say the announcement thread here will be 40+ pages by 6am eastern when I take the time to log on. Should be an interesting day tomorrow.

 

[The Fat Fish]

Could this be the true successor to the 6D?

I hope the keynote presentation is given by a guy in a black mock turtleneck. Seriously excited to order this camera and add it to my workflow!

 

[Hector1970]

I guess it ruins announcements as we've had all the details already.
I'd love to have been excited about it and get it but I'll give it a pass.
Here's hoping the next one is more suitable to my needs.

Waiting for someone to pop up and say Sony product announcements are more advanced.

I'll guess the announced price of the EOS R (body only) will be 2499 USD.

 

[nostrovia]

Has the price leaked yet?

 

[Aussie shooter]

I think it will be interesting to get the final confirmation of what it will and will not have. Not that I am in the market as a wildlife photographer but I am keeping an eye on mirrorless to get a guage on when the technology will be capable to support my chosen felid of the art.

 

[psolberg]

not worth losing my sleep over it. I suspect if some of the omissions like dual cards, IBIS, in addition to the low fps with AF, the AA filter, the flange distance all check out, I already know the carnage I'll see. If there is anything new or surprises, I'll find out later anyway.

Waiting for someone to pop up and say Sony product announcements are more advanced.

 

[jdavidse]

Ooh thanks I was going to try staying up but I guess I wont

 

[hmatthes]

I'm ready tonight -- they are not... dang it
Cancelled my Z6 order -- never really thought I would go through with it.
6D on Craigslist but I'll not negotiate much until I see delivery times.

 

[tmc784]

I am still obsessed by DSLR, when should they announce 5D Mark V ?

 

[HeavyPiper]

Please take notes, I'll be a sleep.
