I graduated from High School in 1960, my parents gave me a Yashica A which I still have and use occasionally..

I went from a 5dII to the R5. Huge difference.

Tracey the Canon manual is 971 pages and difficult to find specific information. I suggest you purchase David Busch's "Canon EOS R5/R6". Much easier to find solutions and easier to understand.

Been using the original battery in my EOS Canon 5dII since 2009.

I have taken 5 Alaska cruises with Holland America. They are known as the "Geriatric" cruise line. Way laid back and few young people. So, they are great if that's your style. My main recommendation would be to travel in the late August, early to mid-September time frame because the "state bird" is the Mosquito. They are everywhere, hungry just waiting for you. I have seen literally, clouds of them in several locations. Not on the ship, just on land. Enjoy your travels, you will want to go again.

Why the amazing drop in price? Sure has undercut the used sales market. After lusting after one since 2015 I finally bit the hook at the new price. What an amazing camera.

I noted before Christmas that they were selling for $1999. Now up to $2499. Was wondering if the 5DMV was on the horizon?
