Apologies and information regarding product supply status
Thank you for your continued patronage of Canon products. Currently, we are experiencing delivery delays for the following products due to more orders than expected and also due to the impact of global parts supply. We apologize to our customers and business partners for the inconvenience. Products are scheduled to be shipped one after another, but it is expected that the new camera body EOS R5 Mark II will take a long time to ship. We apologize again for keeping our eager customers waiting for such a long time. We will continue to take measures to ensure a stable product supply so that we can deliver the products as soon as possible. We appreciate your understanding.

Canon announced shortages for the latest EOS R1, EOS R5 Mark II cameras, and other products
It seems that the new Canon EOS R1 camera is a flop based on the number of pre-orders so far
