Canon R5 Announced with 8k

NorBro said:
At the end of the year, there may be even better deals (from others too, like Sandisk).

Personally, based on two cards I bougt from ProGrade for our X-T3, I would avoid the brand. Both cards were expensive and stopped working after a month of use.
ProGrade suggested a deep level reformatting, which worked for exactly one hour, then both cards stopped working again. They offered to have me send them back
but I am too busy to mail media in for warranty so I just ordered Sandisks, which have worked flawlessly for over a year.

ProGrade QC has not impressed me.
 
Not everything you see there everyday is questionable; lots of good products make it into the DZ.

If I find myself with the R5, I'll just get a SanDisk 64GB to test a few seconds of the 8K here and there (if it can handle the data rates since it has a lower write speed).

There's no way I would buy this camera until it's been put through its paces by all the reviewers. As well as the A7SIII and maybe the R6 as well, which is supposed to ship August 27.

It looks like the R5 will be about 4000 quid in the UK and the R6 about 2500. Probably similar price in dollars over here

I bought the 5DII several months after it came out and then I've pre-ordered the last two "regular" versions of the 5D(III & IV), but I'm probably going to wait on the R5, even though I really want to get my hands on a real mirrorless to shoot stills with(don't give a rats @$$ about it's video features, but if I get one, I'm sure it will make it's way onto my Ronin S). With almost no work, I don't wanna just toss around ~$3500 plus new media(which is what I'm predicting the US price will be around), when I'm seriously considering the Komodo at the same time.

Yeah. I'm pre-ordering all three and will decide which one to keep.

"Reviewers" will not teach me anything I already know and expect.

Camera stores must love you. Reviewers can test the rolling shutter for you, which is one of the main pitfalls I'm looking out for. They can discover problems you might not find in your first month of ownership. You can download their RAW footage. Lots of helpful things.
 
It's not my first rodeo...I know what to expect and I will know the cameras better than most of them within 24 hours. Rolling shutter is not even in the top 10 things I care about otherwise it would have been written off immediately such as if AF wasn't available.

Reviewers exist for individuals like yourself whom require a bit of reassurance in their investments.

I will probably sell all three before you even buy one.

CR mentioned "under $4,000", so it's likely to be a penny under.

For their high end photo-over-video, they're predicted to release something in the 70 MPX range and probably at around the same $4,000 price point, as Sony A7RIV with 61 MPX is retailing for $3,500 ATM.

Was that CR's prediction or just some of the posters trying to extrapolate from the "leaked" UK prices thread this morning? I said "~" $3500, so there is wiggle room for my called shot. I guess we'll all know for sure in about 15.5 hours.

It was rumor from several months ago. But, much like horoscopes, they're better read not the morning before but the morning after.
 
Canonrumors has leaked the US prices. And man - these super-telephotos are super-cheap (albeit super-slow)
