This is now the second time that I followed a post by canon rumors where they said an R3 body was in stock at Canon, Canon USA said it was in stock, took my money, then after told me it was on backorder. Same thing happed with the R5. I don't know if this is bait and switch, or Canon just enjoying holding onto people's money, but clearly Canon USA is not concerned with their misinformation on their web site as to what is in stock. I think until that changes Canon rumors should not aid them in perpetuating these lies. It tarnishes Canon Rumors reputation as much as it does Canon USA.

I'm planning to take an extended trip away from home probably at least 1 or maybe 2 months. I've personally experienced how cranky Canon's printers get and how much ink they waste when you don't use them regularly. Is there any way to avoid this? The manual doesn't seem to mention anything about long term printer storage. I had even considered if maybe it would be possible to print remotely to the printer every week or so. But for some reason my printer drops the WiFi connection a lot and I have to re-pair it to my router, so I'm not sure if that would even reliably work. I'm not even sure if I should leave the printer on or off when I leave. I just installed a new $700 print head in this thing a few months ago, and I really don't want the printer to decide I didn't use it for too long so it's time for another new head once I get back home.

Any tips on what to do? Is two months of setting unused even worth worrying about? Thanks.

There are rumors going around that people are having autofocus issues with firmware 1.5.0 and the Canon EOS R5. This isn’t something that I have experienced, nor I have received any communication about issues. Sometimes I’m the first line of tech support for whatever reason.
KH Cams on YouTube has posted a video showing you how to downgrade the firmware on the Canon EOS R6. This will also work with the Canon EOS R5. It’s claimed that it’ll work on any Canon dual card slot camera, but I have not and likely never will test this out.
Canon firmware downgrade instructions:

Put firmware v1.5.0 on one SD card and v1.4.0 on another.
Insert the SD card with 1.5.0 into the camera
Go to the firmware update in the menu
Press okay on the update, and as quickly as possible open the battery door on the camera or battery grip...

Canon has been forced to remove copy protection chips to their toner cartridges in some regions. It’s obviously more important that customers can print, than the copy protection for Canon’s benefit.
Canon.de support has said that cartridges for a lot of ImageRunner series multi-function printers will be affected. For now, only toner cartridges are affected and ink-based cartridges will continue to have the chip.
Customer experience will be affected by this decision, as the Canon driver software will give users a warning about not using “genuine Canon toner”. There is a workaround if you’re affected by this issue.
Depending on the model of MFP that you have, you will be required to click, I agree, close, or press OK in the right spots to bypass the warning.

Bryan at The-Digital-Picture has completed his review of the Canon RF 5.2mm f/2.8 L Dual Fisheye 3D VR lens. This is Canon’s first foray into VR content development. This lens was scheduled to begin shipping in December, but I haven’t received any reports of preorders shipping out to buyers. Canon will also release software on a subscription model to create VR content.
Currently, only the Canon EOS R5 with firmware v1.5.0 fully supports the RF 5.2mm f/2.8L.
This is going to be a difficult lens for reviewers, but I’m sure we’ll start to see some pretty cool content in the coming months.

The next autofocus advancement coming from Canon will likely be in the form of quad-pixel autofocus, I would think we’d see such technology appear in the Canon EOS R1 first.
Quad-Pixel AF would improve the autofocus performance when you’re shooting in any orientation.

As I impatiently wait, ordered mine on the morning of 9-14 from one of the large NY stores, I'm wondering how many are actually getting into hands of photogs. I see a handful on the sidelines of NFL games, but the first I spotted was used by an Explorer of Light who has been posting pics on his insta. Since then it's only been in use by team photographers.

Hi Everyone,

I have wanted the R5 for some time, finally got the funds to buy one, and now I hesitate. I love the video quality of the Sony A7SIII (a friend has one). Still, I am looking for a camera that can give me excellent video and a professional photography camera, and have always loved Canon products. My main concerns are overheating in 4K HQ (I don't plan to use 8K so much) and also the pending release of the Canon R5C with internal cooling.

I guess I have two questions for you all. After all the recent firmware updates on the R5, how long do your R5 cameras last before overheating in 4K HQ? Can you still capture stills when they do overheat, or is the camera rendered useless until it cools down?

Final question, and this is more speculation than anything; what do you all anticipate the price being on the R5C? AND should I hold out? I think it would be way over my budget of about $5k for the camera and the 24-105mm lens. Right now, I have a pending deal with a photo store for $5800 with tax included for the R5, 24-105 mm USM lens, Lexar SD 2000X 128 GB, CFEXPRESS 256 GB, and three years of Canon's Carepak. I am about to pull the trigger, but knowing I'd like longer recording times is a concern for me.. so wondering what the thoughts are here. Right now, I don't do professional video shooting, but I hope to go into that this year and would hate to spend this kind of money on something that wouldn't work for me. I need some professional guidance here!

Thanks so much!

Hi all,

Newbie here, I have been searching everywhere for a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM lens. Currently not available anymore.

Has this lens been discontinued?

Will there be a new version of this coming out soon?
I know there is a L version available, but this is currently out of my budget for what I require this particular lens for.

Thanks

Hi,

I have R5 w/ RF24-70 f2.8 and I have noticed fair amount of wobble @ 24mm. I read that RF15-35 has wobble when zoomed out or at wide angle, but couldn't find anywhere a mention of ibis wobble with the RF24-70. Is this normal? See the video below and pay attention to the buildings on the far left.

I’ve tried to read all the currently existing topics, but i didn’t seem to get an answer to my question.

I currently own the Canon 5D mk2, since It’s been released. I want to upgrade to a newer model and find the R5 a good fit for me. Now the R5c is on the radar, I’m trying to figure out if that’s a smarter decision.

In addition to my Canon, i also own a DJI Mavic 2 pro, that i use for both pictures and video (4k). I’ve been thinking about doing more video, that could compliment the drone footage.

How do y’all compare the R5c to the R5?

Would it be worth waiting for, since it seems to be an improved version of the R5? (Don’t care that much about the difference in price)

Just saw this review of VR lens for RF mount.

What could I be possibly be doing wrong? I have tried everything my mind could think of

I use bluetooth in my R6 and R to connect to Canon Camera Connect on my Android phone and to the Canon bluetooth remote. With the R bluetooth function setting I have disable/enable, smartphone and remote. With the R6 I simply have enable and disable. If I wish to switch between phone and remote, I have to unpair, then pair, which is a pain as this is not necessary with the R, where I can simply select phone or remote.
Am I missing something?

Hello everyone,

This is my first time in the forum and buying a high-end Canon Camera. I have had my eye on the Canon R5 for the past year for both photography and video, and I am finally ready to buy it. I plan on getting the R5 with the RF 24-105mm lens to get started.

It will be used primarily for photography, but I also regularly film drone footage and want a camera I can also use for Vlogging, Youtube, and A-Roll footage to go with my Mavic 3 drone shots.

My question is: Is there anything I should be considering before buying? Should I be waiting for another future camera that I may not be aware of? Is there another camera that is just as good for less money? I have extensively researched the R5 and feel it is the one for me, but I wanted to run it by the experts before pulling the trigger next week.

Also, is Amazon a safe place to buy it? I can get a 7% discount on the camera and lens through a friend's work discount, but I would get that directly through Canon.com and not any authorized re-sellers. I am usually more inclined to purchase through Amazon because of their excellent return policy should anything be wrong with the camera. I would be inclined to forgo the 7% for that peace of mind, but I would love your inputs!

Thanks so much.

The writing has obviously been on the wall for a long time, but a Canon executive has confirmed that the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III will be Canon’s last DSLR.
This information falls in line with 2022 potentially being the year of the Camera body as Canon modernizes its lineup. I also believe the EOS M lineup will suffer the same fate as Canon moves to one mount for all.
In an interview held by Yomiuri Shimbun (one of the five major newspapers in Japan) with Canon’s Chairman and CEO Fujio Mitarai, we can learn about Canon’s strategy regarding its Imaging System division. “It is natural that mirrorless cameras will become the mainstream of digital cameras… The market needs are acceleratingly shifting to mirrorless cameras. In line with this, we are steadily shifting manufacturing” Mitarai stated (Google translated). According to Mitarai, Canon will end the development and production of the flagship model of the digital SLR cameras a few years from now, stating “Canon’s SLR flagship...
