EOS R5 Market Update: Adorama, B&H, Street Price, and Grey Market


The EOS R5 continues to be a very popular and desired camera, and there have been a few recent developments regarding pricing and availability:

Adorama has been in-stock for about a week, but now they’re showing “Low Stock”, which means they’re likely about to sell out. Adorama is a good option if they don’t collect sales tax to your state, as you can then keep the 5% Adorama Edge credit card discount. If they collect tax to your state, B&H Photo Video with PayBoo card will refund the tax to you — B&H is out of stock but is showing that they will get their next shipment of cameras at the end of February. Both dealers are priced at $3899.00.

We also have just a few cameras left in-stock with our street price of $3849 from an authorized Canon dealer (free shipping, 1-year Canon USA warranty, no tax collected).

We’re starting to see discounts in the grey market for the first time. 6th Ave via eBay has discounted the camera to $3764.95. As this is likely grey market, a Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed, but the availability of grey market deals is a sign of more supply ahead.
