Preorders aren't announced yet, but I suspect we'll see B&H and Adorama start something soon.

While it was first announced in 2020, it was far more than just another mirrorless camera. It was a statement from Canon, demonstrating its ability to dominate the high-end mirrorless market, just as it had dominated the DSLR world. However, as all legends must pass, it seems the original Canon EOS R5 is now making way for the new model. Recent reports from the Japanese retail tracking website ...]]>Mon, 16 Mar 2026 04:49:00 GMThttps://www.canonnews.com/canon-eos-r5-discontinuedhttps://www.canonnews.com/canon-5d-mark-iv-discontinued-end-of-an-era The Canon EOS 5D series has been at the forefront of innovation in digital photography for the last two decades or so, with each successive version of the 5D series pushing the boundaries of professional and prosumer photography equipment innovation.

We discussed tariffs back in April , and yes, it seems to be happening now.  Most items seemed to have increased around $200-$400, but the oddest had to be the EOS-R3 which increased from $3999 to $5399. Canon USA's Store showed the new price increases on cameras and lenses on June 22, 2025.  It would logically be the first store in the USA that would reflect new ...]]>Mon, 23 Jun 2025 10:53:00 GMThttps://www.canonnews.com/canon-usa-increases-priceshttps://www.canonnews.com/canon-strategy-conference-2024 Canon released its annual shareholders' report, which is a more in-depth look into Canon's financials.  Canon's year-end financials were out on January 30th of this year, and the outlook was exceptionally positive.    Another site looked at a report that was over a month old, and I have to admit, I skipped the strategy conference this year, so let's go back to March while we wait for Canon to release their first quarter results in a few days' time.

Canon will also showcase its suite of control units and capabilities for remote cameras used for broadcasting, probably with an eye on the FIFA games in 2026.

The tariffs are 24% on any goods originating from Japan. These tariffs are expected to go into place on April 9th, 2025, barring any intervention by the US Government. However, we have seen tariffs being proposed and then later delayed or canceled repeatedly for the last two months, so anything is possible. Significant market losses could influence the US government's tariff decisions.
