For the first time, Adorama is now giving a hard date on the EOS R5 — their preorder page indicates that the camera is expected to arrive by October 20th. We assume this applies to new orders placed today.
We’ve heard that dealers are receiving a shipment of EOS R5 (for existing pre-orders) by the end of the month.
Today’s B&H DealZone (one-day deal) features discounts on Lexar Professional 3500x CFast 2.0 memory cards. Four different sizes of cards are discounted, up to $200 off regular price.
Another quantity of the RF 100-500mm F4-7.1L IS USM is in-stock, at both Adorama and the Canon Direct Store. A limited quantity is available (for example, the Canon Store is showing 13, at time of post).
It also comes with free expedited shipping at both stores.
It looks like the shortage of Canon EF-EOS R Mount Adapters may soon be over — two dealers are now showing very specific shipment dates for new stock of this adapter.
Amazon is showing that the adapter will be in stock on October 6th. Adorama is indicating that the adapters are expected to arrive by September 25th. A backorder placed at either store should reserve an adapter in this next shipment.
If you need one sooner, this 3rd party adapter via Amazon is $54 and has great reviews. Resellers are asking for $160 via eBay for the original adapter.
Today’s B&H DealZone (one-day deal) features nice deals on Ruggard SleekGuard Silicone Camera Skins. Save up to 36% vs regular price. These skins protect your camera from fingerprints, bumps, and other hazards. You are still able to access all features including battery compartments, ports, dials, and buttons.
Today only, they are discounting skins for the 5D Mark IV, 6D Mark II, 1D X Mark II, 90D, and M50, and they are priced between $16 and $27 (depending on camera model).
UPDATE: SOLD OUT
The Canon Direct Store is again showing stock of the EOS R5 with RF 24-105mm f/4L — the price is $4999.00.
Think Tank Photo launched a new MindShift Gear release on Kickstarter — they’ve announced the new Rotation Backpack Series. This is a super-slick design where the main camera compartment rotates out of the backpack body, operating as a belt pack. This enables rapid access to your camera without having to take your backpack off or “sling” it around to the front.
The backpack comes in three sizes (22L, 45L, and 50L+), and boasts a lengthy list of top-notch features as you would expect from Think Tank Photo.
For the first 48 hours only, you can pledge for early-bird rewards on this bag. A pledge of $199 gets you the 22L bag at a price of $90 off the expected retail price, with a bonus phone pouch that is only available from this campaign.
