Re: After July 9th, who is in for R5s?
i am completely aware it will not be cheap and I am ready to pay even more than the cost of R5. I just dream about a pure landscape oriented camera:-)
I do not have any experience with Mirrorless yet, but this is what I know about what landscape camera should have:
1. I do not tale a lot of pictures. I anticipate and when there is the perfect composition and light, I take several exposures. So ultimate detail, sharpness and resolution
2. it is always on a tripod and always with MF. AF is really nice for portraits and I do them sometimes too
3. DR
4. Battery life. Think about it, if you go to Antarctica or Canadien Rockies in January...how many batteries do you need to last one day?
i am not even sure mirrorless is a good choice for such conditions.

I seriously love what Canon did yesterday. Great-great move to catch up with Sony. I would say that the only two things that I believe were negative for me is the heating issue and short battery performance. I do not use video, though, so practically I would not be impacted.
I, however, feel that this is not the camera for me. I am into landscapes most of the time and really want to spend money on something that will be perfectly designed for it. IBIS is not needed, high FPS not needed, video not needed.
Pure focus on high MP, sharpness and DR at base ISO.
I think that there is a high probability that Canon will release R5s in 2021. Who is in the same group as me?
I guarantee you if they unveil a R5S, it will be at least about the same cost. That's what happened with 5DSR in 2015. That said, I'm satisfied with 45 megapixels for landscapes. It was not long ago people were buying the 5DSR for billboards and large prints. If Canon does unveil something between 75-100 megapixels, a part of me is actually expecting it to cost even more than the R5, due to the fact that puts you squarely in medium format range. The 100 megapixel Fuji GFX runs $10,000.
