The Canon EOS R5 delivers one of the most significant leap in camera performance of recent years. Combining a 45 MP Full-Frame CMOS sensor with a fast processor makes it possible to reach 20 FPS at full resolution and record 8K video at 30 FPS.

Class-leading image-stabilization mechanism; Superb dynamic-range; Realistic image colors; Reliable automatic white-balance system; Conservative metering; Great AF accuracy and sensitivity; Ultra-fast autofocus; Instant shutter with virtually no black out; Exposure-Priority EVF; Highly efficient...

Above average image-noise from base ISO; Anti-Alias Filter softness; Early shot-to-shot stall; Slow recovery after overheating; Asymmetric memory; Some poorly organized features; LCD hinge alignment; Missing anti-reflective coating on rear LCD; Limited battery-life

Here is the review of the Canon EOS R5, the first camera with 8K video. A double-edged sword, it turns out.

Almost the complete camera with 8K video, extreme resolution, insane firing rate and near perfect ergonomics.

8K is demanding for both the camera, the computer - and the photographer. Short battery life without vertical grip, and high price.

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

Still an incredible smartphone, Brilliant battery life gets a bit better, Excellent camera system gets a bit better

Last year’s Pro hardware, Wireless charging slow by modern standards, No USB-C; it’s now well overdue

The Canon EOS R5 is well-suited for just about any type of photographer, whether you shoot portraits, events, weddings, sports, family gatherings, and more. We've felt a bit let down by Canon's promises of the camera's outright video capability, but for most users, it's still a great option for...

Landscape; event; portrait; and wedding photographers; as well as sports photographers that can benefit from the camera's fast burst rate in its electronic shutter mode.

Dedicated video users wanting the best video quality will be hampered by overheating; hybrid photo/video shooters that split their time but still need top-quality video.

The Canon EOS R5 is well-suited for just about any type of photographer, whether you shoot portraits, events, weddings, sports, family gatherings, and more. We've felt a bit let down by Canon's promises of the camera's outright video capability, but for most users, it's still a great option for getting good-quality video clips of almost anything you point it at. Power users that need the best video quality all the time won't be a good fit, but otherwise the EOS R5 is a fantastic option for almost anyone looking for a quality full-frame high-resolution mirrorless camera.

The Canon EOS R5 leaves little doubt that Canon is now serious about the mirrorless camera market. It has phenomenal specification with features like a 45Mp full-frame sensor, phase detection autofocusing that covers the whole frame, eye AF for humans and animals that works in video and stills mode...

45Mp full-frame sensor with full AF coverage; 12fps/20fps continuous shooting with continuous AF; Uncropped internal 8K video recording for up to 20 minutes

8K video will require lots of storage capacity

Canon's best ever stills camera, the EOS R5 is an incredibly powerful tool for almost every kind of photography. While that versatility doesn't quite extend to video, it is still a compelling hybrid option if you're aware of its limitations. The only major barrier for most of us is that price tag.

Tried-and-tested form factor; Very versatile stills camera; Incredible autofocus skills; Improved battery life; Solid IBIS system;

Not cheap; Dual memory cards will require investment; Recording limits for video shooting

The EOS R5 is a good match for its target market: principally professional users who shoot both photos and video for work.
