    Product Description

    Canon’s all-new 45 Megapixel full-frame sensor is at the heart of the EOS R5’s superb image quality, which also leads the way for impressive
    8K DCI cinematic movie capture with the ability to extract 35.4 Megapixel still images. Focus and speed are paramount in the EOS R5, providing
    impressive continuous capture at speeds of up to 20 frames-per-second and with Dual Pixel CMOS AF II capability, to track split second
    movements of even the most elusive of subjects. With 1,053 Automatic AF zones, it is easier than ever to photograph people with the use of
    Eye, Face and Head Detection AF, or intuitively track the whole body, face or eye of cats, dogs, or birds with Animal Detection AF. The 5-axis
    in-body image stabilization can effectively compensate for camera shake with approximately 8 stops of stabilization with use of both non-stabilized,
    and optically image stabilized lenses. Connectivity like 5GHz and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, is also included.

    A great upgrade for people coming from older Canon cameras.
    5 Stars
    A great upgrade for people coming from older Canon cameras.
    I have used the R5 to shoot two weddings as well as multiple other hobby projects. It is a massive improvement over the Canon 7D2 that I was using for 4 years prior to this. The autofocus, even in low light is amazing, and the EVF allows me to see the changes to the photo on the fly as I adjust ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. It's almost like i'm editing in camera and it lets me be sure I got the photo I intended without needing to take time to review them on the back screen.My main reasons for upgrading were to upgrade to full frame, have a camera that would have better noise control for my astrophotography, as well as an increase in resolution for larger prints.While the R5 is an amazing camera, it is also on the high end of price ($3,900 at the time of writing this). The camera also uses one CFexpress type B, and one SD card in dual slots to record your pictures/video to. While the SD cards are more affordable for a 128GB card, the CFexpress cards were $250 at the time I bought them.In comparison, the Canon R6 is a 20MP full frame camera, is $2500 at the time of writing this, and uses two SD cards. It might be the better option for anyone who is on a tight budget, and doesn't need or want the 8K video and higher resolution of the R5. A friend of mine has the R6 and the focus and eye tracking works just as well as the R5.I did rent a Canon 28-70mm f/2.0 (R lens) to shoot a wedding and it was amazing for the low light, that being said, I have yet to buy any R lenses as I have been using my EF glass with the Canon control ring adapter and they have been working excellent with this camera.The sample images I have included have all used my old lenses and were adapted to the R5:1. The table shot was taken at one of the two weddings i've shot, using my Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 and it has enough detail to clearly see the pattern in the fabric flowers in the jar.2. The wavy lights shot was me messing around with the bulb settings and my remote shutter release while making some desktop backgrounds/photoshoot backgrounds (I use an old 50 inch, 1080 resolution tv on a stand, at a slight tilt to avoid glare while positioning a model in front).3. The night sky shot was me steeping outside my house to test the noise levels that the camera creates with "high" ISO and long exposures. It was taken at ISO 3200 for 14 seconds at 24mm. I also tested the camera at 6400 and found the noise to be very acceptable, especially when I compare it to my Canon 7D2. I will put it through even more of a test during the next milky way season when I travel to Acadia and other dark sky areas.I would highly recommend this camera based on my usage. I have taken at least 10,000 photos with it since it was delivered in September. Now that i've moved to full frame and enjoy the performance of the R5 (compared to my 7D2) I don't see myself upgrading for at least the next 8 years or more.

    Love it. I purchased with the insurance just in case, but I'm obsessed with this camera. I'm upgrading form the Canon 5D Mark IV and this is my first mirrorless camera. The live exposure simulation and the ability to view setting menus and review images through the viewfinder has been so amazing! The quality is amazing, and I'm currently using the Canon EF-RF adapter with the control ring feature so I can use all of my L series EF lenses. So far, I don't think I'm losing any quality or performance by using my EF lenses and I'm super grateful because after purchasing this bad boy I definitely don't have the finances readily available to upgrade to RF glass just yet LOL. I definitely recommend this camera for still life photography. I have not utilized any of the video features yet so I can not speak for any videography features, but as a Photographer I am in heaven now.

A friend of mine has the R6 and the focus and eye tracking works just as well as the R5.

    I did rent a Canon 28-70mm f/2.0 (R lens) to shoot a wedding and it was amazing for the low light, that being said, I have yet to buy any R lenses as I have been using my EF glass with the Canon control ring adapter and they have been working excellent with this camera.

    The sample images I have included have all used my old lenses and were adapted to the R5:
    1. The table shot was taken at one of the two weddings i've shot, using my Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 and it has enough detail to clearly see the pattern in the fabric flowers in the jar.
    2. The wavy lights shot was me messing around with the bulb settings and my remote shutter release while making some desktop backgrounds/photoshoot backgrounds (I use an old 50 inch, 1080 resolution tv on a stand, at a slight tilt to avoid glare while positioning a model in front).
    3. The night sky shot was me steeping outside my house to test the noise levels that the camera creates with "high" ISO and long exposures. It was taken at ISO 3200 for 14 seconds at 24mm. I also tested the camera at 6400 and found the noise to be very acceptable, especially when I compare it to my Canon 7D2. I will put it through even more of a test during the next milky way season when I travel to Acadia and other dark sky areas.

    I would highly recommend this camera based on my usage. I have taken at least 10,000 photos with it since it was delivered in September. Now that i've moved to full frame and enjoy the performance of the R5 (compared to my 7D2) I don't see myself upgrading for at least the next 8 years or more.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A great upgrade for people coming from older Canon cameras.

    I have used the R5 to shoot two weddings as well as multiple other hobby projects. It is a massive improvement over the Canon 7D2 that I was using for 4 years prior to this. The autofocus, even in low light is amazing, and the EVF allows me to see the changes to the photo on the fly as I adjust ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. It's almost like i'm editing in camera and it lets me be sure I got the photo I intended without needing to take time to review them on the back screen.

    My main reasons for upgrading were to upgrade to full frame, have a camera that would have better noise control for my astrophotography, as well as an increase in resolution for larger prints.

    While the R5 is an amazing camera, it is also on the high end of price ($3,900 at the time of writing this). The camera also uses one CFexpress type B, and one SD card in dual slots to record your pictures/video to. While the SD cards are more affordable for a 128GB card, the CFexpress cards were $250 at the time I bought them.

    I bought the R5 to replace my EOS 5D MK IV. It was an expensive switch but Im so glad I made it.
    I love the focusing as well as a number of other features. The viewfinder is so bright and sharp now. The R5 uses the new RF lenses; However, I am still using my stock of EF lens. The EF's require an R5 adapter. Canon sells an expensive adapter, that I stupidly purchased against online suggestions. The less expensive no name adapters are available on online for 1/4 the cost. The biggest problem is relearning the slight changes in button locations after all my EOS SLRs in the past. I recommend the upgrade to the R5 if your wife will let you spend the money. I wanted to wait for the probable release of of the next upgrade, but I couldn't wait (no patience). You won't be sorry.

    I've been a full-frame Canon DSLR user for years and finally decided to try out the latest technology, which offers amazing detail and functionality. This is a fine camera... no regrets!

    The elephant in the room is the cost and video issues. I don't do video so I don't care about that aspect and Canon has fixed some of the issues with the latest firmware releases. As for the cost, there is no getting around it. For those able/willing to accept it, you will be getting a great camera. I was an old DSLR snob for the longest time but I haven't touched my DSLRs since I got this. I primarily shoot wildlife (birds) and landscape images. The shots I get with the R5 are incredible. I opted for the R5 over the R6 knowing that I would occasionally need to crop in for some bird images. I am able to maintain quality when cropping.

    The eye detection is truly amazing. I am continually surprised at how well the camera detects the birds from great distances through brush and busy backgrounds. That being said, there are times where I will revert to spot focusing since the camera will sometimes miss eye focus. The autofocus is also great for locking onto birds in flight. As a long time hobbyist, I could never hope to focus quick enough. The R5 eye detection allows me to capture images I would normally not get.

    I also use the camera to take pictures of my son's soccer games. I can track player movement, focus on specific players in a group, capture fast moving sequences. At 12 fps in mechanical mode, I am able to stop action with ease. I did use electronic shutter and it is smooth like butter. You are essentially taking a very fast stop action video. The problem is that you don't realize how many pictures you are capturing when you hold down the shutter button. You can fill a card pretty quickly in electronic mode. I only shoot to the SD card slot and have never filled the buffer during a game.

    Again, this is an expensive camera but it is worth the price tag for my uses. Great image quality. Incredible eye detection autofocus. Good image quality at high ISO (not a lot of noise). Ability to use my old EF lenses with an adapter with no loss in image quality or autofocus speeds. I have used the R5 with RF lenses and they do add another level of quality and decrease weight. I am just not ready to sell all my old EF lenses to invest in a pure RF system.

    camera arrived in perfect condition and is taking very detailed images and excellent video. I am using this R camera with the canon RF-EF adapter and my EF 16-35mm F2.8 III L lens. I looked on youtube for help with the setup as this camera has so many menus to customize it.
