Street Prices on RF Lenses — Save Up to $350, No Tax Collected


We continue to have great street prices on six popular RF lenses. These prices are for brand new lenses from authorized Canon dealers, with a 1-year Canon USA warranty, free shipping, and no state sales tax is collected by the dealer. These lenses have been very popular this week, so stock is limited.

For the RF 28-70mm F2 L USM or RF 50mm F1.2 L USM, you can also consider refurbished lenses — the Canon Direct Store collects tax, but the items do come with a 1-year Canon USA warranty.




Street Price Preorders Available, R5 ($3749), R6 ($2399), 100-500L


We now have street price pre-orders of the EOS R5 and EOS R6, along with the RF 100-500mm F4-7.1L IS USM.

This pre-order is from an authorized Canon dealer. They do not collect tax to any states, shipping is free, and the item carries a 1-year Canon USA warranty.

At this time, due to the expected limited stock and existing pre-order volumes, it is unlikely this will be for a camera in the first shipment — no timeframe guarantee can be made. If receiving a camera very early is important to you, you’re recommended to keep your “regular” pre-order at B&H, Adorama, or Amazon. If you’re willing to wait, our street price pre-order can save you some money!

Please fill out the form for more details.

If you are interested in future deals, add the item to your personal watchlist as we often give watchlist subscribers early-bird access to our deals!



More Pre-Order Options for EOS R5, R6 (Canon Direct, Focus Camera)


Two other great pre-order options for the EOS R5 and EOS R6 have opened up — the Canon Direct Store and Focus Camera are now taking pre-orders.

The Canon Direct Store has the benefit of usually being well-stocked in a new release (they had a large quantity of the EOS-1D X Mark III in-stock earlier than anyone else), and Focus Camera doesn’t collect tax to most states. Both are authorized Canon USA dealers.



Amazon Pre-Orders Available for EOS R5, R6, and Lenses


The Amazon pre-order links for the Canon EOS R5 and Canon EOS R6, along with several of the lenses (but not all), are now active. Check back to this post for the latest as we find more pre-order links.



EOS R5 ($3899), EOS R6 ($2499) Announced, Pre-Orders Available


It’s finally here! The EOS R5 and EOS R6 are finally announced!

The EOS R5 is a 45MP mirrorless capable of 8K video recording. The EOS R6 is 20MP with dual SD-card slots. Both feature the DIGIC X image processor as well as Canon’s first in-body image stabilization (IBIS).

We expect initial allocation/supply of this camera to be very low, with availability in July (R5) and August (R6). If you want this camera early, you should pre-order it immediately to reserve a camera (you can always cancel it later).

Accessories and kits for the new cameras are also available:

A number of nice RF lenses, and a new printer are also announced.



Predicted Pre-Order Links and Prices for New R5, R6, and Lenses

There’s only twelve hours left before one of Canon’s biggest product launches — we’ve never seen this much demand for a new product, based on the volume of pre-pre-order requests.

We expect initial allocation/supply of this camera to be very low, with the EOS R5 initially shipping at the end of July and the EOS R6 by end of August. If you want this camera early, you should pre-order it at 8 AM ET tomorrow. Remember, it’s very easy to cancel a pre-order, but difficult to put yourself higher on a pre-order list later.

To give you a head-start on the pre-order frenzy, we’ve predicting that the below links will be where pre-orders will be active as of Thursday, 8 AM ET, along with the expected pricing. We’ll keep this up-to-date, as things change and more becomes known.

We also don’t have a street price firmed up yet, but hope to have one soon. Even if you’re waiting for a street price pre-order, add the EOS R5 or EOS R6 to your watchlist. We recommend placing a regular pre-order above as a backup plan. Good luck, and see you tomorrow at 8 AM ET for the big launch!
