I got on my local dealer's pre-order list before the R5 was even announced because I had been under the impression that Canon had historically prioritized local brick and mortar retailers. Yesterday I found that they only got only five cameras in their first batch (I was #10 on the list), which I found pretty surprising given that this is a big dealer that serves Washington, DC-based news outlets (Ace Photo in Ashburn, VA).
Is this a sign of changes in the way Canon is doing business with brick and mortar camera shops?
