Canon RF 100mm F/2.8L

A new rumor suggests Canon is set to announce a A Canon RF 100mm f/2L IS Macro lens for the Canon EOS R system.

Apparently the A Canon RF 100mm f/2L IS Macro is already field tested by selected photographers. The lens might get announced within 2020.

No specifications have been leaked so far.

Our take: it’s likely that Canon is set to release also for the EOS R system what is a classic macro lens in their DSLR lineup. It’s just a matter of time.

Canon Eos R5 Price

Another online retailer is displaying what could be the Canon EOS R5 price.

F64, a retailer in Romania, displays the Canon EOS R5 as being sold for 20.999 Romanian Lei. This roughly computes to US$4800. Romania has 19% VAT. Without VAT the price would be around US$4000, which seems to fit with the latest rumor about the upcoming Canon EOS R5.

We expect Canon to announce the EOS R5 in June or July 2020. But there are signs that shipment might get delayed or will start with small figures because of the global pandemic.

Let’s hope the price for the EOS R5 is really around/below US$4,000. If Canon manages to put the EOS R5 on the market with this price tag, then I’m sure the R5 will sell like crazy. Sony, you have reasons to be scared.

Canon EOS R5 Price Below $4000 (body only option)?

Canon Eos R5 Price

And yet another Canon EOS R5 price rumor. Will this be the real one?

Latest rumor has it that the upcoming Canon EOS R5 will be priced below $4,000 for the body (i.e. without a lens). The source of this rumor seems rather confident that this information is reliable.

We expect Canon to announce the EOS R5 in June or July 2020.

Canon already partially disclosed specifications and features (1 | 2) of the EOS R5, and there is not much left to discover but the price. After the last specification reveal there are even some videos to watch. All R5 coverage is listed here.

Well, if this is real then Sony has some rather serious reasons to be scared. A feature-packed and game-changing camera like the EOS R5 priced below $4,000 will be a real menace to Canon’s competitors. Canon is clearly set to shake up the industry. It took them some years to jump on the mirrorless bandwagon and the EOS R was a cautious first attempt at it. Now they seem set to dominate the mirrorless camera market.

What do you think, is this what we are going to pay for the Canon EOS R5? I hope so since this will be my next cam.

Stay tuned.

Canon EOS R6 And EOS R5 Announcement June 2020, Eventually? (update: or July?)

Canon Eos R5 Announcement

Update: the source of the rumor now suggests July 2020 for the announcement of the EOS R5.

Are Canon’s next generation mirrorless cameras going to be announced next month? Latest EOS R6 and EOS R5 announcement rumor suggest so.

It’s very likely that Canon had to postpone the EOS R5 announcement because of the global pandemic. Reports about a possible shipping delays after the announcement also emerged.

However, it seems now the time might have been come and that the EOS R5 announcement will happen soon, along with the EOS R6 and a bunch of lenses. June 2020 appears to be the month when Canon will eventually fully announce their game-changing mirrorless camera, the Canon EOS R5.

Canon already partially disclosed specifications and features (1 | 2) of the EOS R5, and there is not much left to discover but the price. After the last specification reveal there are even some first hands video to watch. All R5 coverage is listed here.

And what about the price? We can only speculate so far. Sure, it won’t be inexpensive given the impressive set of features (8K video!). The EOS R5 is a game changer for the industry.

Stay tuned.
