The EOS R5 is Canon’s best overall camera for stills photography, out-performing and out-featuring pretty much every model its released to date. Pro sports and wildlife specialists may find reasons to prefer the 1Dx III - such as its larger battery, optical viewfinder being preferable in some...

It has been five years since Canon introduced a camera that I wanted in my kit more than the Canon EOS 5Ds R . With the incredibly feature-filled EOS R5, Canon appears to have held nothing back, and many thousands of frames later, I'm certain that this is the camera I've been waiting for.

As a stills camera, the Canon EOS R5 is simply Canon's finest product ever. It’s the perfect amalgamation of the EOS R’s form, the EOS 5D’s function, and the professional-grade autofocus of the EOS-1D X.

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.

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

I just purchased the R5 and tested it against my new 1DX MKIII. No question that the R5 is a superior camera especially when you take into account the new RF mount Lenses and the lightweight and portability of the R5. I find I take it out far more often than I have ever have a EOS-1DX body.

My name is Martin I am 56 and have been a serious photographer since I was 14.For the past 30 years I have used Canon EOS Film SLR, then the DSLR and have now bought an R5.My previous cameras were the 5D Mk III and 5D Mk IV and I normally have a battery grip.
