An updated report about the EOS R5 specifications can be found here. Unfortunately it seems that the COVID-19 pandemic might delay release and shipment of the R5.

During Canon’s latest live-streamed announcement (you can watch it again here) Canon revealed a second teaser about the Canon EOS R5 after the development announcement and a subsequent reveal of more specifications. All R5 coverage is listed here.

Update: the retailer changed the price to a AU$200 deposit, and added:

THIS IS JUST A WITHHOLDING DEPOSIT THAT’S FULLY REFUNDABLE. WE’LL CONTACT YOU ONCE WE HAVE FIRM PRICING

Still, AU$10,499 is a weird placeholder, isn’t it?

Original post:

An Australian camera retailer lists a Canon EOS R5 price that doesn’t seem at all to be a placeholder.

The Canon EOS R5 is listed at 10,499 Australian Dollars, which converts to approximate US$6254.

Too much? Not sure given the impressing features the Canon EOS R5 is packed with (all EOS R5 information is listed here), including 8K video.

What do you think? This might be close to the real Canon EOS R5 price, isn’t it?

Stay tuned.

Sigma Might Make An Important Canon RF Mount Related Announcement Soon

Sigma might be set to soon announce something important about Canon RF mount lenses (i.e. for the Canon EOS R system).

A new rumor suggests, coming from various sources, that Sigma will soon announce their long term plans concerning RF mount lenses. Moreover, it seems that the development and upcoming release of the Canon EOS R5 might have sped up Sigma’s plans to have RF mount lenses available by 2021.

The interesting part in the rumor is that Sigma will not convert existing ART lineup lenses to the RF mount but come up with an exclusive RF mount lens lineup. And that, in our opinion, is very interesting.

Let’s hope Sigma really comes up with an exciting RF mount lens lineup but we recommend you take this rumor with a grain of salt for the time being.

More RF mount information is listed here.

More to come, stay tuned.

The EOS R6 showed up at a wireless certification agency with the moniker DS126831. This is the first time the denomination DS126831 shows up and we know it refers to the EOS R6.

Rumored Canon EOS R6 specifications:

  • 20MP image sensor
  • IBIS (In Body Image Stabilisation)
  • 12fps mechanical and 20fps electronic.

Canon will release the highly anticipated EOS R5 before the R6, possibly in the next weeks, adding a game changing camera to the EOS R lineup.

All R5 coverage is listed here.

Stay safe, and stay tuned.

Canon EOS R5 Release Date May 16? It Seems So

Eos R5 Release
View Post

The Canon EOS R5 release day might be May 16, 2020.

That’s what leaked from a Facebook post of a German camera retailer, Foto Hamer. The picture on top says: “Experience the new Canon EOS R5 live on May 16, 2020“.

We think this date is very likely to be reliable, and that the EOS R5 release date is indeed May 16. The final announcement of the EOS R5 was already rumored to happen in May, so this fits.

During Canon’s latest live-streamed announcement (you can watch it again here) Canon revealed a second teaser about the Canon EOS R5 after the development announcement and a subsequent reveal of more specifications. All R5 coverage is listed here.

After the last teaser, some EOS R5 hands-on and first impression videos have been published.

Canon RF 70-135mm f/2L USM Lens For The EOS R System Coming 2020?

Rf 70-135mm
View Post

Not the first time an RF 70-135mm f/2L USM lens for the EOS R full frame mirrorless system is mentioned.

Now a new rumor suggests Canon might announce the Canon RF 70-135mm f/2L USM in Q4 2020. Apparently the lens is already tested by a selected group of photographers.

Note that the lens has no image stabilization. And that’s to expect, given that we know for sure that IBIS (In Body Image Stabilization) is featured on the EOS R5 and EOS R6, and likely on every future Canon mirrorless camera.

The next Canon cameras we are expecting are the EOS R5 and EOS R6. However, the global pandemic might affect both release and shipping. The pandemic has already had a strong impact on Canon’s financial results.

Stay safe.
