*Update* July 9, 2020, is the official announcement date.
The Canon EOS R5 is definitely coming in the first part of July, so let's get that out of the way off the hop.
Which date exactly? I can honestly say that I don't know. I have now received 4 different announcement dates.
The four dates floating around my inbox are as follows.
- June 30
- July 2
- July 6
- July 9
Keep in mind that timezones may change the date in your country for the announcement.
So, not much changes, we're still going to see the Canon EOS R5 in all its glory very soon.
The next time I post about an announcement date, I will know for sure!

How about some R6 news

Also picked up some more 8 TB drives ahead of the sheer onslaught of data that 20 FPS at 45 megapixels is going to leave me with..
Yes yes, that goes without saying, but everything has been R5 dominated in general... The R5 news cycle is on par with LeBron and Tom Brady news cycle on ESPN.
*) The amount of money may end up being not so small if Canon's lawyers happen to get involved.
(and as every of these threads without any new information/new rumor gets 10+ pages, I'll continue to do so)
It is a Rumor site and he is giving us the best information that he has available. I appreciate the update.
If you have the first 1dx you will be amazed by the difference! Difference from Canon 1dx to Canon 1Dx II was big despite the 1dx mkII AF sistem has it´s flaws. I believe 1Dx III is better than 1dx II. So the R5 will have for sure AF sistem at least at pair with 1dx mkII, however I expect AF sistem to be as good as 1dx III
Of course the R5 is being more hyped than the R6 and the R6 is a little bit "left behind" in this rumor/development announcements. Wht is weird to me is Canon making a big splash of the EOS R5 and tells nothing about the R6. There was no previous announcement or any mention about this R6 What we know so far is what we read here or in other rumor sites...Which is kinda weird...Well..Either the EOS R6 is a very intro camera that Canon decided not to Hype because it´s...an intro level...like let´s say...the RP, or Canon is preparing somehow a surprise out of this...I find it weird no mentions about the camera because even being a intro level camera the rumored specs are quite impressive! At least in video mode...In stills mode we don´t know many thing so far...
So yeah...for me it´s weird we didn´t heard anything so far...not even one leaked photo...nothing! The Camera looks like a "ghost"! :D
