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.

Wouldn't the R5c be one of said three bodies for the year, since it launched in Feb? That would leave an entry level body (RP replacement) and R7, in terms of rumors.
