I've had an R6 on pre order since 17th July and have been told 1st October! So much for 27th August launch!- here's what Wex replied a couple of days ago when I asked for an update on my trade-in order placed mid-August for an R5:
"We have recently received a relatively large shipment , I think of around 40-50, and we are expecting further deliveries over the next 2-3 weeks, but we still have orders dating back to mid July, so although we are unable to give confirmed delivery dates still, it is likely that we are looking at another couple of months, at least for you order, unless Canon drastically improve supply."

Hoping R6 is being delivered on Friday.
Would be interested to hear how your 150-600mm performs on it. I still have the Sport version and I imagine AF speed will be much the same.
I'm guess you'd be looking at say a Canon 300 2.8 with 2x converter or 400 2.8 with 1.5 converter if you want the large aperture. I understand that the Sigma 150-600 isn't bad but will be slowerAny reasonably priced options for BIF at around 600mm f4?
I got a DHL notification to say my R5 and 50mm 1.2 should be delivered by end of day today
only one more sleepIt still seems like it's en route, only left East Midlands hub at 3:40pm today so I'm guessing it'll be tomorrow now.
Oh well I can wait another night.
only one more sleep
Will people PLEASE stop posting about buying their new R series camera, my pile of money is starting to get a bit nervous that it may find a new home soon.
Looking at Buying the R6 and hopefully save a few quid if i can been lookin around at the various prices and options - so would appreciate your thoughts on Einfinity are selling the r6 for £2259 with 12 months warranty with no adapter not sure how this pans out with getting an adapterby regstering as CPS Member ??
Panamoz doing it for £2400 with adaptor and 3 yr warranty
Wex £2499 and claim adaptor free from Canon as a CPS Member (not sure if i qualify) as my lenses are old now
can some of you guys who have ordered from any of these give me an idea of waiting times from the day of ordering are we talking endless months
what i dont want is to buy the body and not have the adaptor and cant get one for love or money

We were in Blackpool Pleasure Beach this weekend and it was the first time I've been able to go out with the R5.
This thing is incredible, the AF is stunning, sticks like glue and never misses a shot. I was on the viewing platform for Icon, it shoots them off at around 60mph and then the carriages fly round the track in front of you at high speeds, I had the camera set to high speed and not one shot was out of focus.
I also tested the resolution by heavily cropping and you can really see the advantage of having 45MP.
Even though it meant I was carrying a heavy bag around on my back all day long, I took a selection of lenses as I wanted to test as much as I could.
Used it with the RF 15-35mm, RF 28-70mm, RF 70-200mm and my newest addition, the RF 50mm f/1.2 - nothing bad to say about any of them. I shot video and images of the boys doing the go kart around the track and again the camera never missed a shot, I started reviewing them this morning and none are out of focus, makes it harder to cull
I don't have a CF Express card yet so I was restricted to filming in 4K 25p, couldn't do any of the high frame rate or higher resolution, but the footage I got was fantastic.
So in summary, I love the R5
(and I am so glad I put my hand a little deeper into my pocket and bought the grip, really balances the body with the lenses and so much easier to use in portrait mode)
I preordered 17th July, took my R and 7D2 in on 14th August to trade in, plus some lenses, for release on 27th August, currently without anything, have been told 1st October but not holding my breath. May go for a complete change at this rate!Same ordered mine from WEX 27th July, 9 Weeks ago. Had an email from them today to say they had some in but only very small number and were waiting for canon to give a date for further units.
I'm kinda stuck as i traded in my old camera and a zoom lens :/
That's a long wait without a camera or have you got a compact?I preordered 17th July, took my R and 7D2 in on 14th August to trade in, plus some lenses, for release on 27th August, currently without anything, have been told 1st October but not holding my breath.

I'm not sure what they do, might give them a call tomorrow to see what's going on or any update, I've used Wex many times and never had a problem with them, although on this occasion the lack of response to email etc has been wanting I'm afraid.Do they hold your px gear until the exchange is done or sell it on straight away?
