Re: What ever happened to the high MP R5s?

I never found the R5s rumors credible. I think someone saw a patent and just made some assumptions. Some others assumed that Canon was going to bring something out based on competition. I have been shooting Canon since 1981 and in that time I have never seen Canon react to competition by rushing a camera to market. My main guess is someone heard about an R5x and put 2+2 together and decided Canon was coming out with an R5s and instead Canon released an R5c.

Main reason I feel this way is Canon has so many needs in RF bodies and lenses I don't see them coming out with an R5s. I could be wrong. Rumors say 3 R bodies this year. One is probably an RP replacement, I would be shocked if we did not see an R7 and I doubt strongly we will see an R1 this year so who knows what the 3rd body will be.
