EOS R5 is Back In-Stock at Adorama ($3899), 1% Rewards


Adorama is now showing stock of the Canon EOS R5 for $3899.00. They’re also giving a 1% ($39) reward with purchase. You can stack with the Adorama Edge credit card to save an additional 5%.

Other authorized dealers that are showing stock include B&H, Amazon, and the Canon Direct Store.



Used EOS R5 at KEH, Starting from $3775.76 (EX+ Condition)


Used dealer KEH continues to add used EOS R5 — they are selling quite quickly, as this is a highly desired item. They just added two cameras in EX+ and LN condition, starting from $3775.76.



EOS R5 Back In-Stock at B&H (Save Sales Tax with PayBoo Card)


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.



Street Price Deals on R6 ($2399), R ($1699), RP ($899) Ending Soon


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.



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.
