Don’t take your EOS R5 outside on a warm day – serious 8K and 4K overheating issues

by 7 Comments

Well, we were all waiting for the other shoe to drop on the Canon EOS R5. 8K RAW video for under $4,000? There had to be a catch, right? Well, it looks like, yeah, there probably is. According to Canon’s documentation for the EOS R5, it’s potentially going to suffer from some pretty drastic overheating issues, even when shooting 4K.

In this video, Max Yuryev goes over the video recording specs in the Canon documentation and calls out Canon and EOS R5 reviewers for not bringing this to more peoples attention during all the announcements and talk yesterday about the new camera. And it looks like it’ll be even worse than the overheating issues Sony used to suffer from.

Canon preparing for global EOS R5 & R6 event on July 9th as teasers appear around the world

by 4 Comments

Well, a July 9th announcement for the Canon EOS R5 and EOS R6 mirrorless bodies looks to be pretty much confirmed now as Canon websites across the world are putting up pages teasing the event, with Canon Japan even including a countdown timer.

The date had previously been rumoured, but nothing was official, until now. Obviously Canon hasn’t come right and said that this is for the EOS R5 and EOS R6, but given that they’re billing it as “our largest product launch to date”, it probably is – especially given the list of speakers.

Canon will be live streaming the EOS R5 and EOS R6 announcement on July 9th

by 4 Comments

It looks like there isn’t that much longer to wait for Canon to finally pull completely pull the curtain away on the much anticipated EOS R5 and EOS R6 mirrorless cameras, according to a report on Canon Rumors, who say that they will be doing simultaneous live streams in the USA and Europe on July 9th.

CR says that their source also told them that the upcoming RF teleconverters will also work with any RF lens – although there’s no word on how well they’ll work, if at all, with adapted EF lenses – and that there are a bunch more “cool” adapters and lens extras coming later in the year.

Canon EOS R5 to have a 26.2-megapixel sensor? That can’t be right, can it?

by 16 Comments

Well, this is interesting, although it’s probably a typo. Canon Watch has received an image that appears to be a page from a legitimate product brochure printed in German. This isn’t unexpected, with an announcement expected so soon, but it claims that the EOS R5 has a 26.2-megapixel sensor. The maths just doesn’t add up.

Although Canon hasn’t specified the stills resolution of the upcoming EOS R5 mirrorless camera, there’s just no way that it could be this low. So, where has this 26.2-megapixels come from? Have they accidentally leaked the resolution for the upcoming EOS R6 instead, ruling out the previous 20-megapixel rumours?

Canon’s new EOS R5 and EOS R6 camera announcements expected around July 2nd

by 6 Comments

It looks like we might finally have an actual solid and firm price on the upcoming Canon EOS R5 as Canon Rumors reports that an announcement may be coming as soon as Thursday, July 2nd. Not only that, but they say that we’ll hear an official announcement for the more secretive Canon EOS R6 at the same time.

While there has been quite a lot of information fed out about the upcoming Canon EOS R5 since its early teasers (no official price yet, obviously), Canon has said pretty much nothing about the EOS R6. There have been a few rumours here and there, but nothing solid as yet. It’s expected, though, that availability for both models will be announced on the same day.

The Canon EOS R5 launch price will be “under US$4,000”, report says

by 1 Comment

Recently, there were rumours that the upcoming Canon EOS R5 mirrorless camera would cost an eye-watering $6,700. These rumours were then quashed as the source of the “leak” admitted that they pretty much just plucked the number out of thin air and had no idea what the actual cost would be.

Now, more in line with Canon’s confirmation that the EOS R5 will essentially just be a mirrorless counterpart to their 5D DSLR product line, Canon Rumors is reporting that the price is definitely going to come in at under $4,000.

No, the Canon EOS R5 will not cost $6,700 – Price tag “leaked” in error

by 18 Comments

It turns out that a recent $6,700 price “leak” for the upcoming Canon EOS R5 was made in error. Canon Rumors reports that the Australian retailer who initially placed the AU$10,499 price tag on the EOS R5 listing on their website said they “don’t have a clue” what the EOS R5 will actually cost and have now removed it.

Instead, the retailer has adjusted its listing to an AU$200 deposit, which will simply hold your place in the waitlist and reserve your body as they come in after they are inevitably released.
