Canon Declares DSLR Dead and Goes All In with Mirrorless with Canon EOS R5, Canon EOS R6 and New RF Lenses

So it happened. Canon has just declared that DSLR is dead.

Well, they did not explicitly say it, but it’s clear where they are pumping all their R&D now and that Canon is ready to finally cannibalize their DSLR sales. It’s a historic day for Canon.

In fact, they just had a massive mirrorless announcement. Launched today:

• Canon R5: BHphoto, AmazonUS, Adorama
• Canon R6: BHphoto, AmazonUS, Adorama
• Canon RF 85mm f/2 IS STM: BHphoto, AmazonUS, Adorama
• Canon RF 100-500mm f/4-7.1L IS USM: BHphoto, AmazonUS, Adorama
• Canon RF 600mm f/11 IS STM: BHphoto, AmazonUS, Adorama
• Canon RF 800mm f/11 IS STM: BHphoto, AmazonUS, Adorama
