I think Canon will be oh-so-close. but not quite there. I noticed on Jared's 1DX Mark III video that it still seemed a little erratic for primary use. They are also still missing animal AF.

The Canon EOS R5 will begin shipping before the Summer Olympics
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
It all depends on which marketing area you're in. The list varies from one business unit to the next.

Yeah.. while I don't disagree that Canon has the manufacturing and distribution clout to pull this off... I have one logical flaw in this:
how do they do firmware updates?
Cameras ship through the lifecycle with updated / upgrade firmware and revised manuals.
are you telling me they go through this storage facility and manually update each and every camera and swap out the manuals,etc?
It's pretty common knowledge they will manufacturer lenses in a batch and sometimes that batch is good for the entire year. So while I could see them doing this for maybe a 3-4 month lead time, I can't see them doing this for the entire product lifecycle. the costs for augmenting or correcting firmware would be astronomical.

I'm shocked and astounded that Canon didn't do a development announcement like last year. I thought that was pretty successful for Canon. It kept them in the press and the narrative going throughout the year pretty much continuously.
My only theory is that Canon isn't quite too sure what they are releasing this year, and they are waiting to see how things progress and they don't want to get locked into promising something in advance.

Among my total points, I currently have 5 points for a 7D and 5 points for a 7D Mark II, as well as 6 points for a 5D Mark II bought in 2011.
What country is your CPS membership in?

I'm afraid the 12fps only possible without af tracking. EOS R spec also capable to do 8fps, but without af tracking. With af servo tracking max fps is reduced to 5fps with frame rate priority or 3fps with focus priority

Lots of professionals that I know used the EOS 5 series. It does not seem unreasonable to call these things "professional". Just about everything is "professional" these days. Walk into Home Depot and try to find a tool that isn't labeled "professional". The term has lost its original meaning.

Yes.
we go into just that right here
EOS R5 and Future Thoughts
Well now that we have some basic specifications are confirmed about the R5 we can then speculate on other cameras in the lineup. There are two notable missing cameras from the ecosystem that are most certainly going to be addressed by Canon. Some confusion exists on the R5 that I should...

Manuals? What manuals? Now all some of their cameras have is a "Basic Instructions" booklet that isn't firmware specific. The full manual has to be downloaded as a .pdf.

that's true. Showing my age there
however, they still would have to open the box and update all the firmware. that seems to be as being a very costly adventure that would have to happen mutliple times in a product's lifecycle.

If anything, product, business, or service actually has "Pro" in the official name of the thing, it starts out with two strikes as far as I am concerned.

Yeah, the same way it can be suspect when someone introduces themself as a "professional photographer"

Well, they have told a number i.e nine RF lenses (incl 2 converter). You think there are several placeholders?
I think that is unlikely: What would be the facts they are waiting for before deciding what to build?

Once a product has launched, it seems everything moves through the pipeline fairly quickly. The products are not sitting in a warehouse in Japan, or in a Canon USA (UK/Europe/AUS/etc.) warehouse. Most of them are sitting in retailers' inventories. But at launch, the pipeline has to be primed and sufficient numbers shipped to fill pre-orders fairly quickly. Otherwise, folks start cancelling orders. Canon wants to be sure to sell as many as possible as soon as possible, because that also makes the model look more successful and can influence overall sales of the life cycle of the product. Containers do not cross oceans in hours or even days. It's weeks.

Maybe the retailer doesn't need to do that until right before they ship it? That could create issues with places like amazon.com, but they are often the ones that ship bodies with out of date firmware, while even B&H and other smaller "specialty" retailers do not.

I am in the US. 1dx II / 10 pts, 5d iv /7 pts. I have some high end lenses for wildlife that represents the majority of my points.

An increase of cases in Japan could definitely have an impact on the higher end gea, but that becomes trivial when you consider the impact on life.

That’s is correct that alone does not hinder 5DIV capabilities to get fast editorial photos out provided there is a fast connection back to editorial truck at the back of the event.
And if there none and Ethernet cable only then the following is an amazing option to get your images out via LAN. This little puppy will allow you shooting with no Ethernet cables plugged into your camera. So much more comfortable.

Toyota builds around 2 million vehicles in the U.S. each year (2018 was 1,928,979 units with gross sales of $264.4B ). That's a tad over 37,000 per week spread over ten plants (plus many vehicles sold in the U.S. come from one of the four Canadian plants). Back in the 1990s when I worked in that area of logistics, typical inventory on the ramp at the plants awaiting shipment was 5-7 days. That's between 27,000-37,000 vehicles at an average value of $4-5B in unshipped inventory at any given time. Then there is the inventory sitting at dealers all across the country...
That sales revenue is about 7X Canon Inc.'s on a per annum basis. But the Auto industry does not report net profits of 46% of sales, either. In 2018 Toyota had a gross operating margin of 18.75%. So Toyota's margin was only 2.85X Canon's for 2018.
