The Canon Direct Store is now showing stock of the EOS R5 with RF 24-105mm f/4L — the price is $4999.00. Only 14 are in-stock, at time of post.
It’s surprising that some have resorted to buying the EOS R5 body-only for $4999 on eBay from grey market dealers. The Canon Direct Store kit for $4999 is obviously the better deal, it’s like getting a free lens at the same price!
The Canon Direct Store has restocked their Canon Control Ring EF-EOS R Mount Adapters — it’s available for $199.99. A limited quantity is available.
This item has been out of stock at all authorized dealers for the last seven weeks (no doubt due to the success of the EOS R5 and R6 cameras). Get yours while the stock lasts!
The EOS R5 continues to be a very coveted camera. If you are looking to buy this camera (but not desperate enough to pay $5399 to a grey market dealer), try your luck with a backorder at the Canon Direct Store. Several readers have reported that EOS R5 backorders placed as recently as Monday have shipped.
We don’t know if this was a special one-off, or this trickle of supply from the Canon Direct Store will continue, but it is worth a shot to place a pre-order and see!
As for other dealers, Amazon is still showing availability (on new orders) of “1 to 2 months”, and it’s been quiet from B&H and Adorama. We’ve been steadily filling street price pre-orders, but it will still be some time before all pre-orders are complete due to the extreme demand for this astounding camera.
Amazon is taking pre-orders again for the EOS R5. Their site suggests that new orders will “usually ship within 2-5 weeks”.
As recently as Wednesday, the site was not taking orders at all for this highly in-demand camera. This update suggests they now expect new shipments to arrive over the next month and a half.
Several times today, the Canon Direct Store has briefly shown the Canon EOS R5 to be in-stock (at $3899.00). It only lasts for a few minutes each time before going back to “back-order”.
We don’t know if these are actual bodies available for purchase, or just another Canon Direct Store inventory glitch. (A lot of readers have complained that orders during the last sale ended up going to “backorder” a few days later.)
If you’re desperate for an EOS R5, you can try adding the camera to your cart at the Canon Direct Store, and reload until you see it “in-stock”.
Many readers have asked where they can find the EOS R5 in-stock. We expect there are no EOS R5 available for purchase at this time, unless you are willing to pay a premium to a grey market dealer.
By popular demand, we now have a street price bundle pre-order of the EOS R5 with RF 24-70mm F2.8L IS USM for only $5748 from an authorized Canon dealer. They do not collect sales tax, shipping is free, and the item has 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 money!
If you’ve already pre-ordered the EOS R5 with us and are interested in this bundle, just let us know (reply to your existing order thread). If you haven’t yet, please fill out the form for more details.
