Will they release a 5D V...?

SuzukiGS750EZ · Feb 8, 2020

I currently shoot an 80D. I love the camera but it was supposed to be a hold over until the 5D V came out. I got the camera the first month after they released it... still waiting... I don't want to buy the 5D IV as i know when i do, shortly after they'll release the V. Does anybody think it'll be released or will mirrorless take over that line? I hope not... I was looking forward to selling the 80D and sticking with a 5D V for the long haul.

Late 2020 to early 2021 is the expected release date, so you've a fair bit of waiting left. Maybe the last of the DSLRs but I hope not.

Keep an eye on here: Canon EOS 5D Mark V

LoL, ok Suzuki, lets see what’s wrong with this pic?
You got the 80d to hold you over for when the 5DmkV comes out?
The mklV came out 6 months after you got your 80D!!
If you had gotten the lV when it came out, you’ld have been enjoying one of the finest FF’s Cano ever made!!!
BTW, I think the Canon 5DmkV has been announced but they call it the R5 now!! LoL

Don’t know what a 750EZ is but I had a Kawasaki 750 H2 back in its day. Yeah, the 3 cylinder 2 stroke, now THAT was one CRAZY machine!!!

I just read where Canon has released the EOS R mirrorless full frame camera. Price is about $2,700 US. Not the work horse like the 5d, but lens quality is supposed to be better. They make an adapter for older lenses. I think I will stick with my 5d mkiv.

[emoji1787] I just looked at my receipt, my recollection is wrong. I got it in October 2017. I got my Sony rx100 mk 6 a month after if was released though! I hold true to my story that I got the 80d to hold me over!
