EOS 5D Mark 5

Information about Canon’s replacement for the EOS 5D Mark 4

2020 March

25th In an interview [TR], Canon UK confirms that the R5 is a ‘5 series’ camera.

With the R5 prelaunch and actual launch likely for April/May [latest R5 info], people have been wondering about a potential 5D mk5 again? Will we see the R5 get a mirror and appear as a last (gasp) DSLR?  Canon will want to get as many people shifted to the R series as possible (all those new lenses) but a similarly specced 5D mkV could sell…

14th After years of silence the possibility of a 5D mk5 is mentioned at [CR] – perhaps the 5D mk4 isn’t the end of the 5D line, although the likelihood of a 5Ds mk2 is somewhat less – this is a popular suggestion for a move to mirrorless [EOS RS page]

30th Still no sign of a 5D4, so perhaps the 2012 suggestion of 2018 for the mk5 needs pushing back a bit.
