Re: How frequently your Canon EOS R5 has locked up?

I owed R5, shoot with RF 35 and RF 50 f/1.2. Bought in Aug 2021. It's been 4 months and very frustrated with the freezing issues. It froze on and off during indoor and outdoor shots. I was shooting a family of golfers and missed many shots cuz of the Error 70 error. I sent to local Canon repair and they checked that they didn't find any issue and returned to me, claiming it might be the CF Express card issue. I rented a new one card from them.. same issue. I bought a new card, formatted in the camera... same freezing issue.... They refused to give me a new one. and I have now resend the R5 to them again. I had used canon for over 10 years and never had an issue like that. I had back up camera 5D, and I feel like I will return back to my EF lens and 5D and the R5 freezing issues have been very disappointing without a proper solution.

gears used

R5/ 35mm /RF 50 f/1.2 / canon battery/ SDCF express 512G/Sd64G. Most updated firmware 2.0. / Canon R5 original battery.
