This is a new one: rumors about shipping of a camera that has yet to be announced (the EOS R5 Mark II).

Latest has it that the Canon EOS R5 Mark II will start shipping around June or July 2024. The rumores announcement date was late April or early May 2024.

The source of the rumor thinks…:

[…] a May announcement will make the most sense. There are a few things that happen before a major launch and the timeline they follow has been relatively similar for years. We can’t expand on that.

We have also been told from a retail source, that they are preparing for the EOS R5 Mark II to begin shipping in late June/July of this year.

Another source claims that production of the EOS R5 Mark II has begun, how far into the production process they are is unknown at this time.

Take it with a grain of salt, and spend your time snapping pictures.

Canon EOS R5 Replacement Coming Q4 2023?

Canon EOS R5 Review
View Post

Another shift in the expected announcement date for the successor of the Canon EOS R5. I’d take this one with the same salt mine as the others. In other words: do not be suprised when after the Summer the rumored announcement will be in 2024.

However, the latest has it that a “very good source” suggested the replacement for the EOS R5 will be a Q4 2023 affair. But there is more. Another rumor coming from the same source states that Canon may release two EOS R5s. One is the EOS R5 Mark II and the other is a unique high-resolution EOS R5 camera (the long rumored high resolution EOS R). The truth is, no one know shit until the usual few Japanese sites are leaking something solid. Everything else, in 90% of the cases, is just bla bla yadda yadda.

Forget bs rumors and go out snapping photos, it’s healthier.

A new, low rated rumor emerged from the interweb of rumor mills. The EOS R5 might get replaced by two different models.

Rumor has it that Canon might replace the EOS R5 with two different models. Says the source of the rumor:

We have been told by an anonymous source that Canon is planning to replace the EOS R5 with two models. This is not unprecedented, as we saw what Canon did with the EOS 5D Mark III. If you remember, Canon added both the EOS 5DS R and EOS 5DS to give us 5D series options.

[…] The source claims that Canon will release a EOS R5 Mark II along with a higher resolution model, perhaps the unicorn that is the EOS R5s?

Don’t know what to think. You?
