I don't like to predict gloom and doom, but considering the unemployment levels found today, and being reported as not recovering hugely over the next 6 months, I see the christmas season as a bust. Who do you think is going to have high levels of disposable income at that point? Not many I assure you. Let alone willingness to get into the seasonal credit card debt, knowing they are fortunate to be eating and hopefully paying their bills. Na I see the so called selling season as very in the bucket.

that is the reason why i am thinking canon will delay the official introduction of R5 and won't be out for sale anytime soon! we are looking at sometimes around 2021 at the soonest. unemployed people have other priorities to take care of, not an expensive camera!

I don't see them doing this unless production has been affected by the virus. There is no point sitting on stock, letting their competitors catch up, when they could be selling some of it and getting some return.
