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

Low Battery Life: 320 shots

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.

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 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.
