Looks like the R6 will be approx 2299$ here in the US. Can I order it already?!
C'mon now! This wait has been intense.

I would imagine had there been a big enough segment for a camera like that, Canon would have made it by now. A "high-Res" R5 body is a given at this point, like the 5DS and 5DSR. Everything the same except for the sensor. (And as IF 45-50MP on the R5 isn't High-Res enough....) But I digress. Unless there is some reliable method of flipping a switch and getting back the top speed out of a dumbed-down (fps) high res senor, I dont see it happening. The LAST thing I would want in a 1RX would be a 45+ MP sensor, and no one shooting pro sports and journalism would either. At least not in THAT camera. A lot of them might carry a R5 as a second rig, but high speed, high accuracy, and 20-25MP is the ideal combo for most of those guys, including myself when duty calls. It's the main thing keeping me AWAY from the R5. 45MP for general shooting is WAY too much. 30MP on my EOS R is pushing my top end. If I'm going to shoot portraiture (far fewer frames shot than sports or action where I'm holding the shutter button down for 2-3 seconds on bursts) that i want more resolve, I'll grab the 5DSR. But even in the campaign photography I frequently do, I still use my DX2 because 20MP is more than ample for rendering images to be printed on ten thousand large mail pieces and slapped up on websites and social media. Using the R5 for that sort of work would yield no improvements in the end results and would consume more than double the memory space to do it (not to mention slow the editing down when you're culling hundreds or thousands of images)My point: some folks want high res and a 1-series feature set rather than have to choose between the two. Landscapers (and possibly some wildlifers) come to mind. The R1 or some variant of it could try to do that.
At that price point, anything is possible. Heck, if we can get a dedicated astro model or have two 5DS models just because of the AA filter anything is possible.

Good plan! When you are comcerned about getting value for your €£¥$ the first name that comes to mind is always Leica!£5398 for a 20mpix camera with an f7.1 tele zoom lens?
Seems like the R5 is what the R should have been; and the R6 is toned down a bit (no top LCD, 30% lower resolution) *but* at the same price the R was originally released at.
I think I will be getting a Leica instead
Hopefully it will even shoot in colour!Good plan! When you are comcerned about getting value for your €£¥$ the first name that comes to mind is always Leica!
I think he meant GBP4000 translates to USD4000. The exchange rate differences and VAT cancel each other out.
I love the SL2 for a lot of reasons and I have both M and Q cameras but the focus on the SL2 lags behind the even my current R by a lot. And in the US a SL2 with a wide to medium zoom and a medium to longish lens plus extra batteries is going to run almost 20K.

There is also duty, cameras incur zero duty into the USA whereas the UK levies around 5% on cameras. So the UK price has an included 25% tax & duty levy on it over and above the USA prices.I think he meant GBP4000 translates to USD4000. The exchange rate differences and VAT cancel each other out.
CFExpress cards alone will set you back more than a Ninja V. Atomos had the V’s on sale until a few days ago. I should have picked one up but I wanted to see how this played out.
"Hey Siri, how much is 4,199 pounds sterling in U.S. dollars?"How does that usually translate to US$? The R5 seems to be on the upper end of the rumored range.
No way will Adorama or B&H add a premium to the MSRP. They have too much invested in customer satisfaction.R5/R6 wont 'stay in the store.'
They will sell even with a premium on top of MSRP ...
What “rumored” video specs? I think Canon has listed the video specs on their website. The only rumors were speculation around overheating and time limits.If the R6 hit's around $2299 USD and the rumored video specs pan out, I'll grab the R6 and another Atomos Ninja V and still be $1000 or so under the R5... which will will be put towards the R1 in 2021
Looks like thanksgiving can't wait to get the R6 in 2023!
$499. I seem to recall them being at least $699 at some point so I guess $599 isn’t bad.Damn....I was going to pick one up too, but now is back to $599 at both B&H and Adorama.
What was the sale price again? I'll keep a lookout next time they go on sale.
TIA,

The thing is with Atmos Ninja, you need to account for all the other accessories that are needed for it to work as you intend.$499. I seem to recall them being at least $699 at some point so I guess $599 isn’t bad.
$3499 for the R5 and $2199 or $2299 would fit the traditional entry prices for basically every other camera in the range (EOS R debuted at $2299, the a7Riv debuted at $3499, the 5DIV debuted at $3499, the Z6 and Z7 hit around those price points)
