inventory is starting to move.. just got my R5 today! 1.5 month wait.. but still. Holy carps the learning curve from an 80D.
You have to dig pretty far into the manual to see this, though there are some asterisks around a few of the frame rates I've seen listed. The reality is, why I'm not thrilled (and have ragged on Sony for the same thing) with all the quirks above 8fps (especially H+ w/ the mechanical shutter), but this does seem to be near the limit of what the current gen of sensors can do. The Sonys all seem to drop to 12, as well—AND still have a lot of rolling shutter aside from the A9's stacked sensor. At least here the 12/13 bit modes have stellar readout performance. The R5 isn't magic, but it is class-leading in nearly every way except a *touch* less DR. At the end of the day, I'd rather have these modes with asterisks than not have them at all.In that case you'll also like to know that in H+ mode you get 13-bit with MS and EFCS. If you want 14-bit, stay with a mechanical shutter and below 8 FPS.
It's because Rishi and his DPR gang has a fetish with dynamic range and therefore Sony sensors, which is why before 2020 8-out-of-8 cameras mentioned above all have Sony sensors. They virtually ignore everything else that matters about a camera, which makes sense, they are not photographers, evident in the quality of their galleries.For what it's worth, here's a list of every camera that DPR has given 90% or more. Before 2020, there were no Canons on the list.

Can you prove your claim? I’ve been waiting 3.5 months for my order to be fulfilled.inventory is starting to move.. just got my R5 today! 1.5 month wait.. but still. Holy carps the learning curve from an 80D.
Wow. Bulb uses 12 bit? WTF?Here's the Sony data sheet, its far more complicated than it appears: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00229990
Well, you'll find plenty of people in this forum that have waited less and got their R5. You must have either gotten really unlucky or something is wrong with the status of your order that prevents it from being fulfilled.Can you prove your claim? I’ve been waiting 3.5 months for my order to be fulfilled.
I learned that from the 1dx3 manual: locate the tables a few pages before the end of the document, then look for the one with the most asterisksYou have to dig pretty far into the manual to see this, though there are some asterisks around a few of the frame rates I've seen listed.[..]
I got mine yesterday. 6days after ordering itCan you prove your claim? I’ve been waiting 3.5 months for my order to be fulfilled.
Here we go again...This camera hasn’t even shipped yet! I ordered on July 15 from B&H, no ship date yet, Canon must be having CRAZY production problems.
Those conditions were dug out of the manuals before Canon even bothered to upload the English-language version...You have to dig pretty far into the manual to see this,
If you would like to see it quantified. Here you go...I didn't know that before today.
What are the AF issues you’ve experienced? Most of what I‘ve seen so far shows almost Harry Potter level magical auto-focus.I wonder, if Canon will react on the issues, that are known by now.
CPS told me, no hardwarechanges will be done at my body, if Canon decides to change the heat problem by exchanging something inside. We will see.
I am happy with it, despite some AF issues
The photo galleries for their camera reviews wouldn’t even make the cut for a lot of people’s iPhone photo albums. The images my GF sends me when she goes to the park or trails blows theirs away. She’s not a professional photographer, but she loves creating and has a nice eye.It's because Rishi and his DPR gang has a fetish with dynamic range and therefore Sony sensors, which is why before 2020 8-out-of-8 cameras mentioned above all have Sony sensors.

Hi, I guess I am one of the luck one. I ordered the R5 body only in mid August and around 18 days later I got the camera. It is the Chinese box with the Chinese manual only, battery charger, camera strap, cable and 1 battery. I am Italian, I bought in Italt through an Italian gray market distributor and it is all right. I have switched language, I have already update the camera firmware and all work well so far.Well, you'll find plenty of people in this forum that have waited less and got their R5.

Or are you not talking about the claim that R5 inventory is going out to customers?
I have the same question: can you elaborate more about autofocus issue?What are the AF issues you’ve experienced? Most of what I‘ve seen so far shows almost Harry Potter level magical auto-focus.
I am not sure if I did understand it correctly, but I believe units for the Chinese market may be region locked so that they can't properly use the new Canon image cloud service in other regions? If that is something you are interested, that may be worth looking up.Hi, I guess I am one of the luck one. I ordered the R5 body only in mid August and around 18 days later I got the camera.
