I've finally received the magic 'shipped' email. This will be me at the front door tomorrow...

In the meantime, by way of light relief for you chaps getting impatient, here's a delivery problem going the other way.

I'm baffled
It sounds like TNT made a mess- up because it's now back to where it was last Thursday ( according to Google Maps I could've driven it there in 5 hrs 42mins!) having had an excursion to Budapest.
It also seems the Dutch are a bit nervous of the R5. Maybe they've heard about the overheating thing?
My RF 100-500mm left Hong Kong on the 1st October and hasn't been seen since!!!

That's what happens when you don't support the UK Photographic Industry

When your camera gets back to Panamoz and they check it, it'll be like The Hangover at the end where they review the pics from the drunken night
Thanks for the feedback. Looks amazing Do you use the eye auto focus? I've been trying it on my R and I'm impressed with it, and presumably the R5 is even better. .OK, 1 month in with R5 and 10 days straight event shooting with both R5 and 1DXM2 and some with 5DM4 ... for me R5 is the winner. Mainly due to AF capability. I had thought the battery life would be an issue, I'm using a battery grip and it was not a problem. In particular R5 + 400 2.8 for pics of people on stage was incredible here is an example

That's excellent. I found using the eye AF really strange and kept forgetting that I could recompose without moving the focus point. I can really see how for events it would speed things up.Yes using the eye AF. My daughter has the R at the moment so didn't compare directly. With R5 the tracking was good, not 100%, overall more keepers compared with 1DM2 for this event. With more practice, I expect the R5 keeper rate will improve.
Thats some collection Paul keep us informed what you think of the 100-500 I an still thinking about one ?
I was expecting this to be a problem but so far has not been. I’m using with a battery grip and been shooting several hours a day without needing to change batteries during shooting. Using the LCD screen some of the time with 24-70 2.8, 80 1.4, 200 2.0 and 400 2.8.My god my r5 eats the battery Has anyone found out the same ? r5 with the 1.4 converter on the 600f4 or the 3002.8 thats with the lcd screen turned of and not looking at any of my shots just to change my settings a bit
Wow! Big advantages with RF?RF 100-500mm arrived today and joined the rest of the family Need to try and find some time to get out and test it now.
Just the 85mm 1.2 to go.

It just seems to be CFExpress Type B that is bonkers at the minute. I don't even shoot video so I don't need the speed, just the redundancy when combined with the SD.wow when did prices for memory cards go stupidly overpriced :0

Hi and good day
I am looking for some advice I have the Canon R6 on back order I did have the R5 on back order however cancelled it for the R6. Now am not so sure I have done the right thing. I take pictures purely as a hobby and I don’t do video. I have just got rid of my 5Diiii and all my EF lenses and I have now got RF 24-105 F4 L RF 70-200 and the 100 -500 on back order. I mostly do landscape, wildlife and planes. I have watched all the YouTube stuff read all the pros and cons however there is little about which camera I should get for my type of photography. I am not interested in the cost of the R5 compared to the R6 I am looking for a camera (Canon Only) that will keep me happy for a couple of years. So am looking for landscape / wildlife photographers to tell me what they would get. I do crop my pictures and I do know this does make a difference and I also enlarge some of my pictures as much as 80x80cm. So am just wanting a feel for what yous would get and not some Youtubers.
Thanks
Bill
Yes fair enough. I just wonder if going from a 30Mpixel 5D to a 20Mpixel R6 might feel a bit of a downgrade and you'd struggle to get the same landscape results you're used to. The R5 at 45Mpixel is going to give you more to crop into and enlarge from, but you may need to upgrade your computer as wellHi magicolor1
The R6 better in low light for wildlife R5 big files so a lot slower to down load however not sure if this will be a problem or not.
