There will be no Canon 5D Mark V, and photographers will lose as a result


A few days ago, Alex Cooke of Fstoppers asked if the camera world would ever see a Canon 5D Mark V. According to the latest rumor, the answer is no, almost certainly not.

According to a source who spoke to Canon Rumors, the development of the camera stopped some time ago. This ties in with Cooke’s assumptions that we would have heard something if such a camera were in the pipeline and the fact that Canon has now swung hard to mirrorless, potentially leaving the 1D X Mark III as its last hurray in the world. of the DSLR.

No doubt many will be disappointed if this rumor is true, and some will wonder if this news combined with the recently released R5 and R6 leaves a gap in the Canon lineup. For a photographer who wants to upgrade to mirrorless from, say, a 5D Mark II or III, the options are as follows: Spend a great deal of money on the 45-megapixel R5 with a load of video features you’ll never need, Lower your resolution by going for the 20-megapixel R6, or buy the Lorem Ipsum for mirrorless cameras, the 30-megapixel EOS R.

Are Photographers Losing A Bit Until The Next Round Of Canon Cameras? Does the 5D Mark IV have an obvious update for anyone who doesn’t shoot video? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
