Canon EOS R1, EOS R5 Mark II and CF-R20EP Short Supply Notice
- Thread starter Richard CN

Yes, a total flop. Did you mention that Canon is Doomed™?Clearly that means the R1 is not selling well.

It certainly appears that they have.
Canon rarely makes the best cameras on paper.
It makes me wonder why people get so carried away with rumors.

They spun a report on Canon gaining mirrorless market share into a story about Canon drastically losing overall market share.
"Is this the end for Canon".

Apple can pull that off.
Apple folks are not really looking at products from other brands.

I can't speak for other regions but unless an item is on "back-order", you will get it pretty quickly through Canon USA.
Once they oversell their allocations they switch it to "back-order".

I love mine.
I will get another when I get the R5 II.
I only hate that it does not work with the R5 C.

I like the EL-5 as well, though one is enough since I have a set of four 600EX-RT flashes that all still work fine.

and then there's this kind of investigate journalism aka.. steaming unadulterated bull turds.

Bad news for me I guess. I was planning to go down to my camera shop on release day and pick one up out of the dumpster.
I'll have to start saving some money up instead. Brian (obviously this post is tongue-in-cheek)

Yes, and what makes it even worse is that they know they made a mistake, as @neuroanatomist pointed out here, comparing mirrorless 2023 with total ILC marketshare, i.e. comparing apples with oranges and coming up with big lemon.
I left two messages in their comments pointing out that mistake. Both are still ‘awaiting moderation’ while they continue to post new comments. Clicks are more important to them than presenting facts.

Actually, not quite! Our parent company simply goes direct to Canon and puts in a 100 DSLRs at a time purchase order and Canon says "When do you need them?"
They did that when we ordered 25 Canon C700 4k GS Cinema EOS cameras at a time and a boatload of cinema glass with them. If you're big enough you can go direct and get your orders pretty much Day 1 of release announcement!
Sometimes we have to go with the Canon or Sony's of the world for off-the-shelf gear because we just don't have enough time to build everything in-house!
Of the two announcements, the Canon R5-2 is the MUCH BETTER camera! We just just ordered 25 of them already because they are so cheap compared to making more of our in-house built camera gear where just ONE image sensor is $200,000+ USD TO FAB! We will aslo get those cameras DAY ONE of final release date! We also ordered a bunch of Blackmagic 12k resolution URSA cinema cameras too!
We got soooo enormously annoyed at Teledyne-Dalsa for our CCD and CMOS sensors that we to spend the money and go fully in-house GaN and CMOS/GaAs fabbing which is taking more time than we thought to get up to speed to bring prices down to less than $5000 USD per chip! This means we have goto off the shelf solutions which for us means Canon, Sony, Fuji and Blackmagic!
Again, WHO is buying all these Canon, Sony, Fuji and Blackmagic cameras and lenses? Big companies like us who are buying 25 to 100 of them at a time!

I'm pretty suspicious of this. The 35mm 1.4 VC is available in most places. So are most bits of gear when the notice is given.

It can sometimes depend on geography. Canon Japan ships them to subsidiaries, and to them, it's sold. Then they have more orders from large Canon USA retailers and they can't meet that demand, so it shows up on the list.
