B&H Photo Video has restocked the EOS R5. They showed stock for the first time earlier this week, and quickly sold out (at the price of $3899.00). The B&H deal is especially popular because of their “PayBoo” store credit card — it gives you an instant savings equal to the amount of the sales tax.
Amazon and the Canon Direct Store are also still showing stock of this popular camera.
Adorama is running used gear sales where they are listing many copies of the same item. This time, it’s the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM, where a number of copies in Very Good condition are available for the excellent price of $799.
Our popular street price deals on RF-mount cameras are ending soon — we’re expecting a price increase at the end of the week, due to adjustments in the Canon promotions. These prices are from Canon authorized dealers, with free shipping, a 1-year Canon USA warranty, and no sales tax is collected by the dealers. While quantities last, you can also add the mount adapters — dealers have both regular and control ring adapters in-stock.
We also now have a limited quantity of EOS R5 in-stock via the street price program, while quantities last.
Amazon and B&H are discounting the WD 12TB Elements Desktop USB 3.0 External Hard Drive for a limited time — it’s now $197.99. Save about $25 vs. the regular price of $225.
This is a popular purchase as many customers remove the hard drive from the enclosure and use the drive in a NAS or other storage array. The drive inside is typically a NAS-grade hard drive.
B&H Photo Video is discounting the ProGrade Digital 512GB CFexpress 2.0 Gold memory card — it’s now only $449.99, after an $80 instant rebate that expires on Saturday. This ties for the lowest price seen yet for this popular memory card.
Camnostic just published another great in-depth study — this one looks at the LP-E6NH‘s performance in the EOS R5.
When Canon introduced the EOS R5 (street price: $3849) they paired it with a new LP-E6NH, to support the camera’s power-hungry 12 FPS and 8K video modes. Camnostic puts these new batteries through an extended test.
If you’re looking for top EOS R5 performance, the Canon LP-E6NH appears to be worth the premium over third-party brands. Camnostic pits the LP-E6NH against popular third-party batteries (Neewer, Watson, and Powerextra, to name a few). All claim to be “LP-E6NH”, but the gap is surprisingly large: the Canon batteries hold about 10-15% more charge, and can last on average twice as long in the power-hungry 12 FPS mode (60% of their charge vs. 25%-35% for the third party batteries).
They also follow-up with a review of other options for powering the R5, such as grips, power adapters, USB batteries, and “dummy” batteries. A highly recommended read for EOS R5 owners.
The Canon LP-E6NH is $79.99, but supply still seems rather limited at this time — it’s in-stock at the Canon Direct Store, and “coming soon” at B&H and Adorama.
