jgharding Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Like most people my age who stared video around the 5D MKii (550D for me) its sad to be waving goodbye, but I’m 100% Panasonic now. Unlike a lot of S1H owners I didn’t consider getting an R5 even off the spec sheet because I knew, not suspected, that something just wouldn’t be right. that’s the end of brand trust right there. When you just any get excited about the product or trust it’ll work. obviously the C300 Mkiii will be great but it’s basically the flagship and a totally different price category.

hoodlum Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Adorama, b&h and other dealers in the US are being told by Canon that next shipment will come during last week of August. Let's see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSMW Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I think you misread the statement and it’s; ‘Last shipment during the next week of August’. ^This is a joke by the way^ 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canon’s deliveries to US retailers have been extremely limited. We shipped out the first delivery in full last week and we expect to receive/ship our next delivery in 3-4 weeks....

The latest from b&h. https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/64274876 In our August 4th update, we shared that Canon R5 preorders were very strong and Canon’s deliveries to US retailers have been extremely limited. We also promised to send regular updates. Since that note, we have not received any R5 deliveries from Canon. We expect to receive/ship our next delivery during the first week of September.
