The highly anticipated Canon EOS R6, rumored to be a more affordable version of the already announced Canon EOS R5, will not arrive or ship until the end of this year, according to the latest rumors.
The full-frame mirrorless camera, expected to be the spiritual successor to Canon’s EOS 6D range of DSLR cameras, had been slated for an announcement in May. But according to Canon’s usually trustworthy rumors, the announcement has now moved to July.
Apparently, this news comes from two different sources, which have also suggested that shipping won’t start until the end of the third quarter of 2020, which Canon Rumors speculates will be in August or September.
It’s a shame for those who are excited to see some of the Canon EOS R5’s mirrorless power in a body that will cost considerably less than that camera’s expected price of at least $ 3,500 / £ 3,500 / AU $ 4,500.
The EOS R6 is expected to bring body image stabilization, which has arrived for the first time on a Canon camera with the EOS R5, and to match the fast continuous shooting speeds of its 12fps big brother with the mechanical shutter. or 20 fps with the electronic shutter.
Slow but safe
Given the collateral effects of the global pandemic on supply chains, which we have already seen affect both Nikon D6 and DJI Mavic Air 2: It wouldn’t be surprising to see Canon’s 2020 camera announcements also be affected.
His focus for the Canon EOS R5 has been to break up the ad into a series of teaser versions, which has gradually helped build an image of its video and photo capabilities.
But it seems unlikely that Canon will take the same approach for the EOS R6, as the latter will be similar to the EOS R5, only without major features like 8K video or a 45MP sensor.
That said, for non-professionals, the Canon EOS R6 is shaping up to be the most exciting camera. It is rumored to be capable of recording 4K / 60p video and having two card slots, which would also make it a great update to the 2018 Canon EOS R.
