If I was buying on a limited budget today and could not afford the R6 and did not need a camera right now I would wait and see what Canon announces in the next few months. Active rumors are of an updated RP and at least one other camera. But if you have the budget I would get an R6, this is a camera that you can use for years. I think we maybe spoiled on MP, I shot with a 22 MP camera for the last 10 years and printed a lot of great large images. I know some R and RP users may take offence at my opinion, but what I have posted is my opinion based on my years of photography. Others have also posted their opinions.

When does Canon usually announce cameras?

And where are rumors posted, here or somewhere else?

Good question, no fixed date. If I had to guess I think April, but could be sooner or later. I am sure there will not be a R5 or R6 update in 2022. If I had to guess there might be an update released in late 2023, but I think 2023 will be the year for the R1 and that may take most of Canon's camera bandwidth.

I wish I had better words to convey my joy with shooting with the R5 and I am sure the R6 would be the same. The AF is a joy to use. The high ISO capabilities is amazing and the Dynamic Range on the sensors really allow amazing work with RAW files.
