How many of you decided to buy the R5 and not 1dx3? I know I did. I wonder if there are others....
“The Beauty and the Beast”, isn’t it?I’ll almost certainly end up with one of each but the R5 will replace one of the 1DX II’s before I get a 1DX III. But I see them as very different though complimentary tools.
It being the hottest camera on the market (not including any fires) should tell you something! I got mine!How many of you decided to buy the R5 and not 1dx3? I know I did. I wonder if there are others....
Indeed. After all this R5 hooplas I appreciate the conservative approach the 1 series always gets from Canon, they just work, every, single, time.“The Beauty and the Beast”, isn’t it?
Where did you leave Pookie ?I’ll almost certainly end up with one of each but the R5 will replace one of the 1DX II’s before I get a 1DX III. But I see them as very different though complimentary tools.
He’ll be back, you can’t keep Garfield and Pookie apart for long. But in the meantime he had to have some fun after a little avatar borrowing issue. For those that don’t know the black figure Garfield seems to be ‘having some fun with’ is Baron Karza.Where did you leave Pookie ?
I'm sad !

Nope! Limited edition run. No more R5s.Yea me. Already had decided to get 1DX3, but then covid cancelled all the sports so decided to wait. Month ago ordered R5 then, decided that's better for future than 1DX3. Will keep 1DX(1) as back-up. Hopefully R5 arrives this year.
That’s not a joke for some of us.Nope! Limited edition run. No more R5s.
My decision to get the R5 was the same as amendegw's .... I will still have my 1DX Mark II for fast moving subjects (BIF's / Planes, etc.) The R5 for much of the rest that I shoot. As soon as I get the R5 my 5D Mark III is for sale. I should have placed my order on the original release date but I debated and analyzed the R5 purchase and did not place my order until 7/24 ... so I wait.That's the decision I made. As a wildlife photographer, I considered upgrading my 1Dx II to a 1Dx III but I didn't see where I was getting that much more camera for the money. When the R5 was announced with animal eye focus and increased sensor resolution and a lower price, I placed my order. Now if it would only be shipped!
