Camnostic: LP-E6NH in EOS R5, Do 3rd Party Batteries Work As Well?

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.



Finally! EOS R5 Now In-Stock at B&H (Use PayBoo to Save Tax)


B&H Photo Video is now showing the EOS R5 in-stock for the first time, at a price of $3899.00. It has been over six months since launch, and we’ve not seen it in-stock at B&H before! Their main benefit is the “PayBoo” store credit card which gives you a credit equal to the sales tax, which effectively saves you the tax.

Amazon and the Canon Direct Store are also showing stock.



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.
