Looking to pick up the Canon EOS R5 Mark II and wondering where everyone's finding the best prices. I've checked the usual suspects like B&H, Adorama, and Amazon but curious if there are other retailers offering better deals or bundles. Also open to lightly used options from reputable sources. Has anyone seen any good sales recently or know of upcoming promotions? Budget is tight so every dollar saved helps. Appreciate any tips on scoring a good deal!

You can just Amazon price tracker chrome extension to track price for R5 Mark II and other cameras. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/when-price-drop-amazon-pr/kadfjfepladdilgjofbkblmpfbmcflij

Tbh before you pull the trigger on a deal you gotta tell us what ur current kit looks like? Like r u moving from an older DSLR or a first gen R5? I ask cuz the Canon EOS R5 Mark II has some really specific power and media requirements that can sneak up on ur budget if you arent careful. For example you basically need the new Canon LP-E6P Battery Pack to even use the high speed modes and AI features so if you have a stack of old batteries they wont really cut it for the heavy lifting and youll end up spending way more on accessories than you planned. Quick tips for stretching that dollar:

  • Call up smaller authorized local shops instead of just the big online retailers since they often have unadvertised loyalty bundles or trade-in bonuses
  • Check for EDU discounts if you or anyone in ur house is a student since that can be way better than any public sale prices right now

Looks like everyone is pretty much suggesting the waiting game for 2025 or using price trackers to snag a deal. Tbh, those are solid moves if you aren't in a rush. From my experience owning these for the long haul, I’d say just stick with Canon across the board; their professional ecosystem is so reliable that it’s hard to justify switching once you're in. If you're really trying to stretch your dollar, definitely check out the official refurbished store or reputable trade-in sites. You usually get a solid warranty and the gear feels brand new. Ngl, the initial hit to the wallet is tough, but these high-end setups hold their value incredibly well. Just get into the brand and you'll see why people stay—the long-term performance and build quality are basically unmatched. In the end, as long as you're shooting with their native glass, you're going to have a great experience regardless of when you buy.

I definitely agree with checking the refurbished route—it’s usually where I look first because you get the warranty without the full retail sting. But honestly, I’m curious about what your actual workflow looks like? Like, are you shooting a lot of high-speed action or video where you really need that new stacked sensor performance? I’ve seen some tests and benchmarks showing the rolling shutter is way better, but if you’re doing slower stuff, maybe the extra cost isnt justified yet. Are you upgrading from an older mirrorless or a DSLR? Just trying to see if the performance jump is actually gonna be a game changer for the gear you already have.
