Canon is reported to have shipped a significant number of EOS R5 last week, and our street price program was no exception — we are processing the largest shipment received yet of the camera. When the dust settles, we will have filled approximately 85% of the street price preorders received to-date, including orders placed as recently as late September.

Assuming future shipments remain the same size and on the same schedule, there will likely be cameras available in our end-of-November shipment. We are taking street price pre-orders at the price of $3799 for this highly coveted camera. No sales tax is collected by the authorized Canon dealer. If you are interested, please use the street price pre-order form to reserve a camera in this and other upcoming shipments.

UPDATE: Sold out.

The Canon Direct Store is showing the EOS R5 in-stock (for $3899.00). Unlike other times where it’s glitched showing one copy in-stock, this time it’s showing five copies available, so this is likely real stock.

Readers are reporting that R5 orders from the Canon Direct Store shipped out this week, as well as orders placed at B&H, and also via our CPW street price program.

Many CPW readers are reporting that their EOS R5 pre-orders shipped in the last few days. It appears that Canon USA got a large shipment of the camera. We’re hearing that B&H and the Canon Store were filling orders placed as late as mid-September.

The EOS R5 is still backordered everywhere, but it seems like supply may catch up to the demand soon. The Canon Store was even briefly showing the EOS R5 in-stock earlier today for a few minutes, but it sold out quickly. We think a backorder may be filled quickly.

We posted a very hot EOS R5 deal exclusively to watchlist subscribers last month, and it looks like all the cameras in that excellent deal shipped this week as well. If you don’t want to miss out on the next deal, be sure to add items to your personal watchlist.

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.
