Did anyone with a sound mind actually expect an R5II or R1 this year, aside from rumor sites/videos that demand constant traffic to stay afloat?

The R1 is certainly going to be an Olympic venue camera, so that was pretty obvious not this year. And the R5II would land too close to the R6II, plus the cycle time would be decreasing.

The most likely reason we only got an R6II this early was because canon wants to, or already did stop production of the 1DXIII sensors it used.

Hopefully this means alot of lenses instead, both high end but more ideally some midrange options.
