The Canon R5 is a great full frame mirrorless camera for professional photographers or enthusiasts who are looking for a high-performance option for different genres, from sports and action to studio portraits and landscapes. It is a 45-megapixel full-frame mirrorless camera, capable of shooting 8K video clips, with attractive dual pixel autofocus and excellent ergonomics. It can also capture stills and 10-bit HDR videos for HDR viewing and is the spiritual (and mirrorless) successor of Canon's 5D series of DSLR cameras. It's not the perfect camera, but we think it's a good and competitive addition to the already crowded high-resolution full-frame mirrorless cameras. Canon has certainly thrown down the gauntlet to ensure the R Series range continues its reputation as the standard for commercial and prosumer photographers.

8K Video

This is the feature that everyone has been talking about. With the new EOS R5, Canon has introduced internal, uncropped 8K video recording at up to 29.97fps, and 4K video recording at up to 119.9fps. These new capabilities have revolutionised video capture and will provide nothing short of professional quality results.

Impeccable Autofocus and Subject Detection

Another great feature is the Ultra-High-Speed Autofocus. With the ability to automatically detect Face, Head and Eye tracking when People detection mode is set, the ease and accuracy of focusing is second to none. Detection of Animals will also be possible for the first time, meaning you can now track the entire body, face or eye of cats, dogs and birds.

Advanced Full-Frame CMOS Sensor

Canon has introduced a completely new CMOS image sensor and DIGIC processor, which delivers the highest quality images and has raised the bar for both stills and videos.

High-Speed Shooting up to 20fps

No need to worry if you’re shooting a fast-moving subject…or if your subject isn’t being the most cooperative, the EOS R5 can capture up to 12fps with mechanical shutter and up to 20fps with silent shutter. There really is nothing you can’t capture.

In-Body Image Stabilisation

The Canon R5 is Canon’s first camera to incorporate 5-axis IBIS (In-Body Image Stabilisation), reducing camera shake while video recording, and also allowing users to more effectively shoot at slower shutter speeds. The IBIS will work alongside the Optical Image Stabilisation, which is found in numerous Canon RF and EF lenses.

Dual Card Slots

No matter what you are shooting or recording, a super high-speed CFexpress card slot plus a UHS-II card slot will constantly make your life easier.
