I've been at this for 12 years and I have never seen as much hype for a Canon product than we have for the Canon EOS R5. A camera that should have already been announced had it not been for the current pandemic.
I have been told that Canon will make major announcements in June and July, which will likely be the Canon EOS R5 and/or the Canon EOS R6 along with a slew of new lenses.
Initial availability could come as early as July.
… and no, I do not know anything about pricing.
*Update*: I've updated this post to reflect additional major Canon announcements are also coming in July. I don't yet know which product(s) are being announced at which time.
More to come…

Man! My heart beat too quick at each new article!
In my experience, when something is illogical, there is something we don't know about. What do we not know?
Consider that the expected announcement timeline was Photokina which was supposed to happen this week. If they're announcing in June, then it is at most 1 month behind. Consider that Nikon planned on releasing the Z 70-200 2.8S in February and still hasn't gotten there. If Canon is even a month behind on announcement, I feel ok about that.
