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

I'm a "never" had a lockup. Purchased R5 in May, 2021. Couldn't find a source with stock of the RF 100-500 L and bought a Canon adapter to use my Sigma 150-600 C while waiting to find a 100-500 without paying a huge premium over list.

The camera worked wonderfully with the Sigma and I updated firmware to 1.4.0 without incident.

When I got the RF 100-500 in mid-December, my town got a huge load of bad weather so I wasn't using it much at all. I upgraded to firmware 1.5.0 without incident. I changed minor things in the AF setup based on others' setups in Youtube videos but nothing stands out as shockingly different from what I used before.

I have a Sony Cfexpress "Tough" Memory Card 128GB and a Prograde Digital SD UHS-II 64GB Card V90.

I formatted the cards in the Camera originally and when using them for upgrading firmware and when deleting images. I have barely used the SD card for anything--it sits there "in case" I run out of CFexpress space.

I'm up to ~10,000 images over the time from May, 2021 to Jan 31, 2022. A low count for me due to our unfortunate loss of the local Peregrine pair in June. A new pair is around and hopes run high for Spring to work its magic.
