What REALLY prompted Canon suddenly to get their act together with video?

How much is the RED Dragon Epic?

The P6K is suppose to be a cine camera. Compare it to the 1DX III if you want a cheaper camera.

There is a used Epic Dragon on ebay for $4800 right now, with two red mags and a PL and Nikon mount. I guess you could compare the RED epic dragon to a 1DX MK3 price wise.

Price wise you'd compare a P6K to a RED One, those go for around $2000-$2500. You can find a RED scarlet for around 3k, but that is bare bones with no accessories. Way cheaper to kit out a P6K than a RED. Personally I wouldn't buy a RED One in this day and age.

My Canon source says the original plan was to release the R5 in time for the 2020 Olympics.

Just passing on information that was given to me. If you didn't understand what was said it's simple, we would be seeing the R5 in action at the Olympics if they weren't delayed.

What did your Canon contact tell you? Oh you don't have one. Make sure to hit the downvote button.

Yeah I agree.  The discussion was on the video side and not for photography.  What do you mean? "now as for R5 coming to olympics thats not gona happen"  The Olympics are postponed until 20121. I think we have time now?

I don't think it's delayed until next year.  I personally think it will be released in the fall.
