Re: Build quality of R5 - what is your take?

Yes, I took it. The entire back panel will be replaced. I am only answering the question what is not right with R5. Never had this before and I had a ton of Canon gear. My camera spent more time in service than in my hands. Feels like a rushed product.

What don't you like about it? I find it at least as well built as my 5D Mark IV, and it's already proven itself in drizzling, windy, cold weather as well as the not-so-careful way I carry it. I'd love to know what you don't like about it.

My brand new R5 had these issues:

1. Dead or stuck pixels on the LCD

2. 50-60 dead/stuck/hot pixels on the sensor

3. Multi-controller joystick was not working properly

I have never had any single issue with any of my Canon cameras before that.

time to take advantage of the warranty... What you have is not right...
