Pretty awesome if it’s 10 bit! April release might refer to the cloud service.

In the past, there has always been a "gotcha" with every new release from Canon. But I think they've exceeded expectations with the C200, C500 ii, and 1DX iii. The R5 could be very interesting.

It probably will have asterisks in the manual just like all of those cameras above, but they are getting better for sure as no one likes to lose money.

Does Canon have any 10-bit DSLR or mirrorless cameras? And wouldn't they mention it if this was going to be the first one?

[ph2003]

They really gonna pump out on this camera?
guess they gonna rework the entire C line up? none of them is in the 8k range except the c700.

EOS R has 10-bit external (to Atomos) with a 1.8 crop.

Of course, 1D XMKIII will have 5.5K Raw and a 10-bit 4:2:2 C-Log internal at $6,500.

This hint of an announcement doesn't really disclose much. It's like Nikon preannounced D6 half a year ago, then again preannounced it yesterday without revealing all specs with the exception of the price (the same $6,500 as as DX MKIII). I guess, pardon my wordplay, you'd have to buy it to know what's in it.

1.8x crop ? Not good.

So what's your best guess at the price of a R5 body ?

I'm going with $5,000 US.
