EOS R5 Stock Update: Street Price OOS Soon, Amazon, and KEH


We’re coming up to 6 months after the release of the EOS R5, and surprisingly the camera is still hard to find with low general availability. Here’s a run-down of the current best options to get your hands on this camera.

  • Our street price of $3849 is still in-stock, but stock levels are very low and it should sell out in the next few days. This is from an authorized Canon dealer, with no sales tax collected.

  • Amazon is now showing that the camera will be “In stock on February 4th”, so it looks like the next shipment will be arriving soon.

  • KEH continues to be a popular option, they show the camera available in Like New condition for $3799 including all the standard accessories. Readers have indicated the camera is indistinguishable from new.

Top 10 Most Popular Canon Cameras and Lenses of 2020

In a few hours, this unique 2020 year will draw to a close. Let’s hope 2021 is a lot less chaotic than how 2020 turned out. All the best to our CPW readers in 2021!

It’s a CPW tradition to countdown the popular Canon items of the year. We compiled statistics via our street price program as well as through our posted deals (new and refurbished), and we sorted by number of copies purchased. You can compare with 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016’s list.

  1. EOS 1D-X Mark III (Honorable Mention)

    The year has been so long, it’s easy to forget that the EOS 1D-X Mark III was also introduced at the beginning of the year, in January. It barely missed the list, at #11 in sales. Many expect that this was Canon’s last 1-series EF-mount camera, but time will tell.

  2. RF 100-500mm f/4-7.1L IS USM

    Despite all the early supply challenges this unique lens has proven to the most popular of Canon’s 2020 lens releases, and a good-warmup before the rumored RF 100-400mm.

  3. EOS 5D Mark IV

    We said last year that the 5D Mark IV would drop off the list, after two years at #1 and one year at #2. We were wrong! The camera continues to be popular in its fourth full year, grabbing #9 on this year’s list.

  4. EOS 90D

    The EOS 90D was the first crop-sensor body to have made it onto our annual top-10 list, and we’re surprised to see it cling on for yet another year. If the rumors turn out to be true, its position on the list will be replaced by an RF-mount crop-sensor body next year.

  5. EOS RP

    With a stint at $899 for the EOS RP (and $999 when paired with the respectable RF 24-105 STM), the RP has continued to be popular and keeps its position relative to the similarly-classed EOS R.

  6. EOS R

    This camera was #1 last year, the first time a mirrorless product topped our list, a clear sign of Canon imaging’s transformation away from SLRs. We knew its position was only temporary, paving the way for newer mirrorless cameras and products to come. This camera is still a great performer and fills an important niche and price point.

  7. RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM
  8. RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM
  9. RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM

    No surprise, the RF zoom trinity is together on our list! At #5 and #4, respectively, are the RF 15-35mm and RF 24-70mm “twin” lenses, designed with a similar aesthetic, launched on the same day, and with an identical price. They continued to have almost identical sales figures through the year with the RF 24-70mm slightly ahead due to a great end-of-year refurbished deal. The final member of the f/2.8 zoom trinity (and in our opinion the lens most worth upgrading to), the RF 70-200mm, joined them on this year’s list, and pulled ahead to the #3 position with an incredible end-of-year refurbished deal. We expect these mainstays to be on the top 10 lists for years to come. Cameras come and go, but great lenses are forever.

  10. EOS R6
    In any other year, the EOS R6 would have been a #1 camera. Next-generation mirrorless, with 12 fps, 4K60 video, and in-body image stabilization, all at a $2499 introductory price point? This is a very impressive camera and many copies were purchased, but it will forever be overshadowed by the next item on our list.

  11. EOS R5

    Overheating problems? Supply issues? Conspiracy theories? The EOS R5 was definitely the most talked about camera in 2020 — especially with its groundbreaking 8K video (albeit only 20 minutes at a time). Many questioned whether the “overheating issue” was an excuse for a camera deliberately crippled via software. For the first months, with the cameras impossible to find, conspiracy theories abounded about secret recalls and supply issues.

    The explanation was simpler though: this is an astounding camera and everyone wanted it, we’ve seen more interest on this camera than any other item in the last ten years of tracking Canon. In the end Canon pulled through and supplied enough EOS R5 to make it also the best selling item this year (at least amongst our readers!), and the top of our list. Will it stay there in 2021, or does Canon have more in-store for RF mount? An exciting time to be a Canon shooter.
