Canon EOS R1 & Canon EOS R5 Mark II announcement coming July 17
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
I may very well be misunderstanding you, and vice versa. My original reply, as best I can recall, was in response to a comment from Canon Rumors Guy who said that the biggest thing people don't understand about the 1 Series is that Canon is only competing against Canon, or something like that. And my point was that the fact Canon is losing business to Sony suggests otherwise. That's it. I'm not sure how your comments here are relevant to my point. And I have no idea what you mean with your last statement about the EOS 3.

I’d say that’s not really the 1-series competing with other brands, at least not directly. It’s more about B2B salespeople and bean counters competing against their counterparts. Reportedly, many working pros at those firms were not happy about being forced to switch (and others were happy for the opportunity).
So while Canon is competing against Sony and Nikon, that’s really happening at the corporate level and not at the level of designing the 1-series or marketing them to individual buyers.

22.2% at current exchange rate, allowing for TAX/VAT in the UK vs pretax in USA.
EDIT: I made a big mistake - didn’t realise that the US price had been up by $300 to $4299. It’s only a 13% price gouge here. Apologies.

The UK price for the R5ii is the standard 11% above the German. How I hate Brexit - and tbh Canon EU price gouging is the least of it.

Let’s recap. Announcement date, accurately predicted. Most specs, accurately predicted. Shipping timeframe, accurately predicted.
Person making up nonsense and looking foolish by doing so, you. I accurately predicted that one.

Wrong, they just copied it from Canon when they announced it.
Specs were are not even close. Anything they got right like resolution was minimal and a guess. Pretty much everyone knew it most likely would have 24mp. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out.
Anyone with inside information would have gotten EVERYTHING right. It is so obvious these numbers and specs are BS and guesses it is not even funny.
Only a ignorant fool thinks they got inside information.

Aparently when I see this before any predictions of when it will be released.
Face it, your wrong. They have no inside information. Anything minor they get right is an educated guess. We all have been doing that with varying degrees of success.
Doesn't mean we are in contact with Canon. You love to brag about being a scientist but don't have the common sense or critical thinking to see past the obvious.

LOL. I was hoping you really weren't that dumb, though I’m not surprised in the least. That teaser came out on July 10th. The date of July 11th is even right there in the file name of the screenshot you posted.
Try to follow along, though you may lack the mental capacity so I’ll take it slow.
- Look closely at the date, July 10th, on which Canon said something big is coming on July 17th.
- Then look closely at the date this thread was started, where CR says the R1 and R5II will be announced on July 17th.
- Notice that this thread was started on July 5th.
- Find a calendar, and look carefully for those two dates, July 5th and July 10th.
- Can you figure out which date came first?
- If not, the answer is July 5th.
- That means CR correctly stated the announcement date for the R1 and R5 II five days before Canon revealed it. (Sorry, I realize I made a leap there – 10 minus 5 is 5, just in case that ‘five days before’ number confused you.)

What kinds of flashes are you using that can put out any appreciable amount of energy to compete with the sun in only 0.0625 milliseconds? That's only 62.5 microseconds!

I don't know about the R1 vs R5 Mark II + grip (which of the three different ones?), but the 5D Mark V + BG-E20 weighed more than the 1D X Mark II.

That's why, even after I had a 5D Mark II, I still shot sports with the 70-200/2.8 on a 50D (and then a 7D), and only used the 5D Mark II as a second body for the occasional wide angle shot (when shooting sports - everything more static got the 5D Mark II). Once I got a 5D Mark III that had good AF, I shot sports with the 70-200/2.8 on the III, left the wide lens on the II, and left the 7D at home. Then the 7D Mark II came out with "anti-flicker" and I went back to APS-C for the 70-200/2.8.

Your electricity cost each month is not based on how much electricity you use?
Sure, EVs make more sense for certain types of driving patterns, much less sense for others. And yes, the energy cost per mile to charge at home is less than the cost per mile for an ICE pretty much everywhere.
But I've never lived anywhere that gave me free electricity, or even an "all you can eat" buffet at a fixed price.
