From only a $ perspective this is a smashing deal. The R5 at the moment is still Canon's top high resolution mirrorless body -- though this is clearly more evidence that the R5 II is on the way, which is why I popped into this thread, I just wanted to see who was offering the deal, Canon or a 3rd party. I've had the R5 since almost launch (also have the R7 and R3) and excited about the R5 II.

That said, R5, R6, R8 all have their place in the line up so $ shouldn't be the main focus when you buy. Get the camera that is going to serve your needs. There is A LOT of tribalism when it comes to cameras because people seem to want to soothe their egos. R5 is tops with resolution, but not low light noise. It has the best EVF of all 3 by far. Best AF. Best build quality. Best buffer and continuous high frame rate ability. But all that comes at a higher maintenance cost. To get the highest continuous frame rates you need fresh batteries (at least 1/2 full) and good CFExpress cards - you'll want more than one. You'll also need a fairly modern and fast computer to edit the higher resolution RAW files and lots of hard drive space to store them + backup.

If you are OK with all of that, and you shoot fast moving subjects, often from far distances the R5 is unmatched (until next year) in Canon's mirrorless lineup. But high resolution is wasted if you are shooting things from closer distances and the end product isn't going on a billboard. The R6 II might be a better option that will save you $ don't the line. And if you don't need IBIS the R8 is a good option too if you are just looking for a no-frills body that actually has a few frills.

Also don't forget you need good lenses and these are not inexpensive these days, esp w/ no 3rd parties for the RF mount. So add that to your cost of ownership pile. Entry level lenses on upper end cameras usually end in disappointment. Lenses and bodies need parity with each other.
Absolutely insane price.

almost tempting to buy another one. haha Yeah definitely a good price, but keep in mind, the Mark II is going to be announced around Feb/Mar next year. I got mine about 2 years ago for around $3K and I thought that was a good deal!

Haven't heard any rumors around it for months now. I'd bet on summer release.

Insane price for an outstanding camera. Those saying that the Mark II will be released soon, that may happen in mid-/late-2024 but even at 3 years old, the R5 is an incredible camera that is a superior value at $2199.

It matches up extremely favorably to anything else on the market for resolution, AF, video, and speed for a non stacked sensor. The only cameras of superior performance are the Z8/Z9 and the A1, which are stacked sensors. The R5 and the R6 II (on sale for $1799 also an insane value) absolutely are superior to the A7R series or even the A7, which suffer from severe rolling shutter in electronic mode.

The next gen Canon R1 and R5II are also likely to be stacked sensor, following the R3. Fast electronic shutters are absolutely the way of the future and the R5/R6 II are the best one can get without going to a stacked sensor.

We can only hope photographers get a chance to buy this, rather than the flippers who troll SD. I saw this deal pop up on canon price watch and figured it was only a matter of time

I have a R6 and wanted to upgrade to R5 for my bird photography. Buying this now and selling my R6. Other than the need to crop a lot, there's no justification for R5 vs the other 2

I think R6 at 1099 is an amazing deal as well. I got mine at earlier this year refurb (1299 I think?) And I thought it was a steal. Plus the cashback

What a great price. I ended up getting the R6MKII for $1799 but keep coming back and wondering if I made the right decision.

Dumb question: if it's refurbished, would the shutter count still be 0?

This is such a good price I've almost convinced myself to upgrade from the 5DIV.
