I have been told that the Canon EOS R5 and Canon EOS R6 will be announced alongside each other on or around July 2, 2020, depending on where you are in the world. The Independence Day long weekend doesn't begin until July 3, 2020. That said, I have also heard July 6 as a possible announcement date.

So we're a month away from the official unveiling either way!

I have also been told to expect both cameras to have limited availability by the end of July.

More to come…

  1. Now that we have a month's notice, maybe we should we start a forum discussion where we can start practicing excuses to justify the purchase to loved ones and concerned onlookers.

    "Yes, I already have a camera, but I don't have that camera!"
  2. My second cousins sister in law's aunt heard from a guy who she met in front of a camera store that the New Canon R5 and R6 will be announced the on July 14th and will cost $3,000 Australian Dollars. MORE TO COME!
  3. Man, I thought the wait just for Endgame's title was the most dragged out and irritating tease/publicity stunt... I guess Canon is aiming for MCU dollars (and/or yen). :LOL::cautious::mad:
  4. nice! but.. what has independence day weekend got to do with this? Canon is a Japanese company and the rest of the world doesn't really care about the 4th of July ;)
    When one runs a global company, major markets' holidays should be taken into account. July 1 is big in Canada and China, the 4th in the US. So that leaves the 2nd, 3rd or 6th on in July : https://travelnotes.org/Events/07-jul.htm

    "Yes, I already have a camera, but I don't have that camera!"
    Camera Owner: "No, that's not a new camera, I just cleaned it."
    Spouse: "Why are you taking pictures of that other camera and looking at Ebay all the time?"
  6. Yes, it's great to finally have a release date. :D But since there's nothing else in this thread, I'll just take a nap till we get one with something worth staying awake for. :sleep:
  7. Canon is doing a great job keeping the lid on the resolution and the price. Two numbers that loom large in the imagination.
    You must be referring to the 6. The 5 rez is a known number.
  8. I'm really glad that Canon is investing in the RF line because ebay is full of crazy deals on EF lenses :ROFLMAO:
    Oh really? Can you share what EF lenses are having good deals?

    4 is a weekend day anyway, but I can see July 1 not being a suitable one then. 1DX III announcement was on a Monday, to be more precise: the 6th. So I'd say July 6.
  10. So what does no CR rating mean? Is this so speculative that it is just a guess that is below a CR1 level, or is it so certain that it is presented as fact, and does not require a rumor rating at all?
