So does every other Canon dealer, fishing for clicks? Maybe the R5 announcement and price will get some action on this site.

Both B&H and Adorama received stock in the last 24 hours, they have both been out of stock since the camera began shipping.

I have been planning on buying one, until this whole COVID situation. Hard to justify purchasing when there's not much money coming in.

Too late.

20.1 Megapixel for $6499? No thanks.

It's the best DSLR ever made by a large margin unless you're in dire need of higher resolution.

And the higher megapixel thing is really not that important for a great many of us...I get great blow up pictures, some as big as 4'x8' and if the original shot is a keeper so will be the enlargement!

That depends entirely on viewing distance. I have not seen a critically sharp and detailed print from a 20mp ff camera larger than 24"x36" that is worth having and even that is pushing it with detailed contrasty subjects. Personally I'd kill for a 40mp 1 series with a lower frame rate in relation to data readout capacity.

I've seen lots of prints and crops that equate to bigger sizes, just never felt they were up to the task.

Have to agree. In particular the video capabilities really set it apart.

In Canada, they seemed to sell to CPS members first. I'm not a pro, but I had created my CPS account on Canon Europe site (it is free and you don't need to own two pro body and such) so I could give my CPS member number to the shop.

Robert's has them too and I was told people who expressed interest and got on a list for one are "dropping like flies."

That's all great but with a daughter forced to close her restaurant of 20 yrs and now, with no income coming in for her, it's hard to get excited about spending $6k + on a camera. Think it's called priorities.

Have any of you actually added it to your cart to see the final prices? Camera, extra battery, and cards (I know the camera comes with one (1) 64GB San Disk but say you wanted dual 512GB like I do) you're looking at $8,611.01 out the door in CA. YIKES!!!! I'm not complaining. I'm just trying to wrap my head around that number. LOL...(it hurts)

An RRS L-Plate and WFT, as I got for the MkII, add another $1,000, that is just the price of these things nowadays, I’ll do what I did when I got my MkII’s, wait six months until there is a dealer who wants to get rid of their stock for an unlistable price via CPW.

I can’t believe the number of people who are buying C500 MkII’s at $15,999 base, throw in the bits and pieces you need for that and the tax and you are perilously close to $20,000!

Are there any meaningful benefits to what you've done with that membership, I mean living in Canada, what can you use it for. I probably would have joined CPS in Canada except they insist on a web page.

Not yet, but I'm supposed to be able to do so:

From https://www.canon-europe.com/pro/canon-professional-services/#countries :

Can I enjoy benefits in other global regions if I am a member of CPS EMEA?
If you are a Canon EMEA member you may be able to take advantage of Canon priority services outside of Europe, Middle East, and Africa with a valid CPS membership card. However, benefits may differ to benefits offered in your home region.

FYI, if you buy in Canada, the camera comes with one(1) 512 GB San Disk CF Express card, a reader and an extra battery.
