The Canon EOS R5 likely won’t be announced next week

[jam05]

Japan has much more pressing issues at the moment. Canon has already made announcements. I doubt that Canon has a projected ship date. Global shipping and customs are not at full service capacity. Doubt that they would throw out some arbitrary date.

The new announcement in question would imply a release date and pre-order availability.
Also some important information such as sensor resolution, that is, full official specs.

Cool!

Please let me know when it's on the shelves.

Why in earth I should know about that?

Not now. When it is out!

 

[HeavyPiper]

wow, it was a joke.

Ok, I apologize..

 

[RunAndGun]

I guess I could clean my office- that will take me to shipping date.

Guess I could do the same, which would probably take me to the ship date of the R5 mkII.

Hand grenades. Just blast all the junk out.

This is much ado about nothing based on a single local dealer's attempt to get some attention.

Photokina was scheduled to take place May 27-30, 2020. It was expected that Canon's official announcement of the R5 and R6 would take place in conjunction with Photokina 2020. Any pending official product introduction for the R5 will not be "late" until May 27-30 have come and gone without such an announcement having been made.

We've since learned that the R6 announcement will not happen in May, probably due to supply chain issues and Canon's apparent decision to place what resources they have available into getting the R5 launched. As of yet, we've heard no such rumblings regarding the official rollout of the R5. Unless we do, I'd expect Canon to make an official product introduction for the R5 sometime at the end of May.

And when it arrives, then what? Take pics and vids of your yardwork that your 6Dii is incapable of doing? jk

Easy man. Why the rudeness??

It's a joke.
JK = "Just Kidding".
Smiley wink also emphasize I'm just joking.
Plus, we already kissed and made up. So stop re-opening things up and relax.

Gasp, mind the social distance please!

Oh yes, you knock us down by destroying our hopes that it will be announced on May 16th. Although, it did seem a bit odd that Canon would choose a Saturday to announce it. Then tell us that a workshop, which most or all of us can't attend, (for various reasons) is going to be exciting. Canon and Nikon are both doing a great job of aggravating my patience.

Well, not everyone is locked down in their homes and still can get out and shoot.

I’m already bored with the R5. Canon has milked it for too long. They should go ahead and make the announcement with the full details even if the arrival is still TBD.

I’m beginning to agree with this, But if the reason is the virus, then I undertand why.
