How is this possible? So I would assume that they had these already shipped to some retailers? What is surprising is the R6 that is due in August.

Except the fact everyone that had the camera was acting like they couldnt say everything or show much and kept going on and on about the cameras being pre-production cameras that had to go back only a week ago. Yet Fro is the first guy on the net that seems to have a production model even more so than all the ambassadors?What's the big mystery?
Canon ships bodies and lenses to selected reviewers all the time. Just Google Canon R5 review and you'll see that a ton of people have been sent the cameras to review. He's got 1.23M subscribers and the unboxing video has already gotten over 20,000 views and it really doesn't have any content. Over the next couple weeks he's going to do lots of videos featuring both bodies and the new lenses. A no-brainer of an investment for Canon.
someone in the comments said he touched it and didnt notice.Thumbprint on the R5? Last minute hasty firmware re-flash before shipping?
I wonder if there's some payola going on. But he is a rather critical reviewer so that's fine.
Lol, what a goofball.someone in the comments said he touched it and didnt notice.
Different regions have always had different "base" offers from Canon: in the UK we usually start with a "body only" option, but in other countries the base option is often a kit - camera and lens.Whats with the lens , we can only buy camera body here in the UK
They do, where are their reviews and photos? They are mighty quiet.Other folks have production R5's now, not just Jared P. I'm glad that these guys are getting the production R5's. R6 has been out for a minute, sample images have been available for it but not the R5 despite it being set to ship a full month later. The dearth of R5 samples two weeks out from supposed ship dates had me thinking there would be delays for the first units to become available. Things are normal in camera land now.

Nonetheless, I enjoy Fro. He's entertaining and doesn't take himself too seriously, but is still a decent photographer. Doesn't have an ax to grind and his videos usually convey at least some useful information. In sharp contrast to that three blind men guy, who only likes to hear himself pontificate and never has anything worthwhile to say.If they've only had the gear for a day or so, the likeliest answer is that they are still hard at work making those reviews and photos. Fro was so fast out of the gate because all he did was basically open the boxes and goof off.
