The EOS R5 from Canon gives us a world-first feature, as well as many other standout points that make this a must buy for the serious photographer - or even videographer!
This is the headline grabbing feature in the R5; it's the world’s first interchangeable lens digital camera with 8K movies - that's four times the detail of 4K!
If you want to be creative using time-lapse you can do so in 8K, 4K and HD.
The still shots will be just as awesome as the video, with the ability to take amazing 45-megapixel photos at up to 20 frames per second. These shots are further optimised with 100% frame coverage.
Say goodbye to the traditional 8-bit JPG file. Canon's HEIF file format delivers a 10-bit compressed image file for high quality results with better colour reproduction.
For better portrait shots, the R5's enhanced face and eye detect will give you the results you're after.
If it's wildlife you're snapping, this model features eye, face and whole body detect of our furry friends.
The advanced AF is programmed using deep-learning artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, Canon's world-leading in-body image stabilisation works with a lens's own Image Stabiliser to provide up to 8 stops of protection against camera shake.
The R5's unrivalled speed and precision is driven by a stellar processor: the DIGICX.
Manufacturer: Canon
The Canon EOS R5 is shaping up to be the game-changing mirrorless camera we hoped it would be. A true hybrid that's just as powerful for video as for stills, it will be a seriously tempting option for everyone from landscape shooters to pro videographers.
Tried and tested form factor; Strong set of video features; Improved battery life; Promising IBIS system
Not cheap; Dual memory cards will require investment

I have a lot more testing to do for my final EOS R5 review, but first impressions are certainly looking very strong indeed. Canon really does appear to have put everything into this camera with the minimum of caveats other than an understandably high asking price of around 4 grand.
It has been five years since Canon introduced a camera that I wanted in my kit more than the 5Ds R. Canon appears to have held nothing back from the incredibly feature-filled EOS R5. I'm betting the R5 is the camera I've been waiting for.
So far, so amazing. While we need to put the Canon EOS R5 through a full battery of lab tests and long-term usage, we’re overwhelmingly impressed by what we’ve seen so far. It’s going to be too much camera for most people, but if you want near-medium format muscle then its 45MP stills packs a...
Still photographers will find little at fault with the high-resolution Canon EOS R5, but heat management issues will leave video-first creatives looking elsewhere.
Superb 45MP full-frame sensor; Fast; accurate autofocus; Subject tracking at up to 20fps; Big; brilliant EVF; Swing-out touch LCD; 5-axis IBIS; CFexpress and UHS-II SDXC card support; 8K and 4K video look great
Video record time limited by heat; Expensive CFexpress memory required for some features; Battery life could be better; Lens system still has some room to grow; Priced higher than competitors
“Canon held nothing back to deliver the full-frame camera its fans craved.”
Excellent; 45MP photos; Impressive 4K/8K video modes; Responsive subject-tracking AF; Good 5-axis image stabilization; Excellent build quality
Control layout could be improved; Can overheat in video mode; Risk of banding at high ISO
The Canon EOS R5 is Canon's flagship full-frame mirrorless camera, with class-leading video specifications, as well as impressive stills performance. For stills photography, it does not offer the highest resolution (that goes to the A7R IV) but does offer plenty of resolution.
Excellent image quality; High-resolution electronic viewfinder; Great vari-angle touch-screen; In-body image stabilisation (IBIS); 8K 30fps / 4K 120fps video; Dual slots; CFexpress / SD; Very good handling and controls
Noticeably shorter battery life with EVF; Video recording limits and "cooldown" periods; Limited compact lenses available
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 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
