What happened to the $800 RF camera?
RP is $999.00, pretty close.

What happened to the $800 RF camera?
You’re not talking about the R5 are you? Since that’s obviously full frameIt’s APS, you can see the sensor in the press pictures.
The tag corresponds to your length of account on CR. You can change it to personalize it in Account Details/Custom TitleI would love the R6 to be a high iso performing version of the R5 without the high spec video but it seems from the rumors it will be a lower level R.
( Why does my name have M50 under it? I must have to change something in my profile.. I shoot a 5D mark iiii )
My guess is that there are already some prototypes being tested at the moment by some photographers and that some of these prototypes will be at the show for demo. The final version might be ready in July after some corrections are made to the firmware following the input from the testers...Looks like the upcoming R5, 100-500 and extenders will all be on display at The Photography Show in Birminghan next month:
"Exciting news! The recently announced EOS R5, RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1L IS USM lens and new extenders will be making an appearance at the show. Make sure you visit our stand to get your first glimpse at the new additions to the EOS R System."

Does this mean the release date might be closer than we think?
A fast ultra-wide L prime will also be announced in 2020.

Those are bigger, heavier lenses with worse optical quality. There is a reason why they are cheaper, this one will be priced close to 3000$ with the teleconverters being similarly expensive.I was disappointed that the 100-500 was an F7.1 lens given other brands have 6.3 options at 600mm
It does make me wonder if there’s (still) a possibility of an aps-c R camera. I would not be interested personally, but sure that plenty others areSorry, brainfart, it's obviously FF as you say. I was thinking the sequence was APS-C, APS-H, APS.
It will be at WPPI next week too. It’ll be “on display”. Meaning no one will be able to put their hands on it. And not surprising this far out. Once Canon makes the full announcement with the final official specs, that will change. Maybe NAB in April is what Im thinking. If the camera can do 8K, that’s a great place to have it hands on for the first timeLooks like the upcoming R5, 100-500 and extenders will all be on display at The Photography Show in Birminghan next month:

This lens is aiming to be a EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 IS USM II replacement (or a direct rival to the Sony FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS) with even better optical quality and very lightweight as well.
Also likely to work very well with a teleconverter.
Maybe more indication that the R6 will use the 1DXIII sensor? That is supposed to be a very nice sensor even if smaller than the current 6 series. High ISO and high DR would make it worth the loss of megapixels. Also it is supposed to be sharper than other sensors due to something with the filter(?)Seems odd at this stage that we know the sensor size of the R6 and not the R5,
We know the sensor size (36 x 24mm), we just don't know the pixel density!Seems odd at this stage that we know the sensor size of the R6 and not the R5,

IHm? If you're talking about resolution, we "know" neither. [CR3] rumors say that the R5 is 45MP and the R6 is 20MP, but neither is confirmed by Canon (indeed Canon has not confirmed even the existence of the R6!)
