Amateur Photographer recently had the chance to inspect the new Canon EOS R5 in the flesh
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.

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...
The Canon EOS R5 is definitely an admirable performer befitting a price of $3,899 and its billing as the top dog in Canon’s R-Series mirrorless lineup. The camera has great ergonomics, even for those with large hands, and a comprehensive menu system that’s very easy to navigate.
Further, we’ve experienced overheating across the board with Canon, Sony, and Fujifilm when shooting videos. But the cameras have never shut down on us. Practically speaking, you’re just not going to keep shooting video. You’ll give the camera a break and go do something else on set.
For the professional image-maker who needs resolution, speed and video capabilities, there is the Canon EOS R5.
A steady full-frame camera for photography
Beautiful picture quality; HIGH ISO for low-light situations; and up to 8K video recording
Can quickly become too hot when recording videos
Stills are absolutely gorgeous, incredible autofocus, and solid in-body image stabilization; Can shoot 8K30 and high quality 4K30 10-bit video buuuut…
The high end video modes cause the camera to overheat and it takes a million years for it to recover; video settings are wonky; dynamic range leaves a little bit to be desired.
I really did like the EOS R5, despite the overheating problems, because it suited my style of shooting. For $3,900, it’s the only pure high-megapixel hybrid camera that does photography and video equally well.
