Were you able to register the camera with Canon Professional Services? Have you tried that? I am in the UK, and the only R5s that are available are from grey market sellers. Some have great reputations and offer long warranties, but I'm worried about being able to register the camera properly.

So unusable that I need to get dust clothes to clean my 1dx MK2 before I use them next!
So far I love this camera.
Why should he have to prove to some irrational dipshit on the internet that he got his R5?
I doubt he could do anything that you'd be willing to accept as proof, anyway.
The Italian distributor is providing local tech support in Italy: according to their declaration, I send the camera for repair to them and they send to a Canon official repair shop in Italy- Anyhow, finger crossed- I agree that gray market could be risky but pay 4150 euro for the gray market for a very solid product (hopefully) or go for the official Canon Pass channel and pay over 4670 euro is indeed a big difference- Might be worth or not it depends also on your pocket. However if the camera is a very good one, no worry hopefully...
Evidently, it is more popular. The thing is still in super short supply despite being in production for months now.
But I don't think the 5D IV being viewed as an incremental upgrade by some parts of the internet community means all that much. That's probably just the regular Canon thing. No hype around the specs on the internet, but when you read something from an actual user, it is usually very positive and somehow Canon has maintained a comfy advantage in market share despite offering the bare minimum of what the internet requested for years.
The R5 being such an aggressive push is simply uncharacteristic for Canon. I haven't read a Sony Troll post here in quite a while. It's almost like they have been obliterated. Looking forward to the R5s / R3 and R1 launch
The Sony trolls are on DPreview.com. And none of their editors care. That place has gone downhill so fast.
Thank goodness they have pretty much disappeared around here. Thank you R5/R6 and the RF “L” lenses... especially the f/1.2 lenses.
That might be the case, however personally I am NOT interested on using the canon image cloud service.... Plus I heard that if you register an email with a chinese provider you might be able to get the service in.
sorry you're having a long wait, its incredibly frustrating. I'm not going to show you my receipts but it shows I put down payment Aug 28th and I received it Oct 20th.. so ok a bit closer to 2 months, but not far off
need pics of the camera? bit of an odd request to prove it... not sure how I could that couldn't also just as easily be faked.Echo this, how is DR with Electronic First Curtain shutter enabled, and either single shot, or multi shot
"There is also non-optional noise reduction applied to RAW files."
Am I the only person bothered by this? It seems to me that it's sort of a violation of what RAW is generally taken to be (and perhaps that general impression is wrong), and there are times when noise can be used artistically.

I'm not a fan of it. But not for the reason you describe. You can always add more noise in post. But you can't get back the detail that the noise reduction eats.
That review pales next to the experience of using an R5. It is marvelous and sublime.
I wish the EVF sensor were above the viewfinder (as it is on the A7III), I accidentally trip it when swiping or pinching the rear LCD. Too close, o well a quirk; the EVF is just too good even in poor lighting.
It does not have the weapon-heavy feel of a 5D, the perception of toughness will be missed. I will be among the minority wishing for a tilting or fixed main LCD.

@Mark M I can confirm you that I was able to successfully register the camera into the Italian Canon CPS Professional database.
He's trolling. Ask him to prove he didn't cancel the order or prove he doesn't have the camera. He's being ridiculous. He accuses members of being liars. What possible reason would motivate a member to lie about receiving their camera? Everyone just needs to band together and put him on ignore. I suspect that he uses the same tone with B&H. Somebody there has his order on ignore, and laugh their tail end off every time he calls.sorry you're having a long wait, its incredibly frustrating.

It IS characteristic for Canon, but only if they have to move because of the market or they developed a completely new platform. They did it, when they radically swapped the old FD with the EF mount and shocked a lot of users back in the 1980s. They did it with the first, fast ultrasonic AF drives and then IS, which drove many sports and wildlife pros to switch from Nikon to Canon in the 1990s. They did it with the broad introduction of "noisy" CMOS sensors when nearly every brand used CCD sensors. They used then their CMOS technology to lead the Megapixel race when it really made sense and introduced FF Full HD video with the 5D2. So they were quite innovative in the first decade of this century. In the past decade, Canon then was getting conservative, but this is also typical for their history, in particular when camera sales started to drop massively. Now, in this crisis of the camera market, they made again a big splash into the innovation pool. Canon always oscillated between innovative and conservative periods.
That's so typical DPR: Canon offers very first 8k video in a typical 35mm camera body, and they complain about heating as a sort of downside of this product. Everybody with some technical knowledge isn't surprised that you can't film three hours of 8K videotakes without letting such a small camera cool down. 8k is a nice surplus, the R5 is no dedicated pro video tool like Canon's Cine series. In fact, I am surprised that it can film 8k about 20 minutes, that's a lot. This really a great engineering achievement given the fact, that silicon semiconductor electronics is extremely inefficient. Everybody who read some of Terry Pratchett's disc world novels, knows that trolls have to lock-up themselves in cold storing houses if they want to think fast, because of the silicon neurons in their brains.
But, finally, DPR gave this camera from Canon a very good rating, that's nice and fair....
