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.

I am fairly certain Canon had to do similar repairs on previous cameras including the 5D series ones. You just happen to have experienced an outlier, but certainly not something unprecedented

I feel R5 at par with my 5D mk IV and a bit better built than my 5D mk ii
