Canon EOS R5 and EOS R6 preorders appear to be over the roof, despite the idiotic “cripple hammer” and “overheating issue” crap.

Canon Japan released a statement where they recognize that EOS R5, EOS R6 and battery grip BG-R10 preorders exceed the company’s forecast and that shipping might get delayed due to short supply.

From Canon Japan (machine translated):

Regarding the following products announced on July 9, 2020, if you order more than expected, it may take time to deliver the products.

[Applicable Products] EOS R5/EOS R6/Battery Grip BG-R10

We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your understanding.

This was expected. Already months ago it was rumored that the global COVID-19 pandemic would affect supply chains and hence manufacturing of the R5 and R6.
