by Bobby Clarke Developer

The latest release of Canon EOS R5 has raised the photographic standards like never before. The Canon EOS R5 is one of the most potential image-makers, and it could go unmatched in the camera segment for some time.

Some notable features of Canon EOS R5 are:

It captures stunning 45-megapixel pictures at up to 20 FPS.
It captures a 12 bit 8K RAW video by using the complete width of the sensor.
Canon EOS R5 comes with an advanced auto-focus which has been developed by using deep learning AI.
The camera’s in-body stabilization acts jointly with its lens’s own IS for up to 8 times protection against camera shake.
It comes with ISO 100-51,200, which delivers stunning image quality in poor lighting.
Canon EOS R5 comes with in-built Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, which enables you to send images on location.
The camera can efficiently operate at 1-40°C with 85% or less humidity.
It is one of the best cameras for underwater photography and videography.

The Canon EOS R5 is a powerhouse performer in every segment, whether it’s about camera quality, image stabilization, autofocus, and more. When it comes to its key features, Canon EOS R5 offers you its 8K video using the sensor’s complete readout, recording at up to 119.88 FPS, and 4K capture.

If we look into the build and handling, the EOS R5 is unnoticeably thicker; however, it comes with a little weight, which is evenly distributed. However, it doesn’t feel as sturdy as Canon’s previous 5D. The camera comes with a 2130 mAh battery, which is 14% more capable than the LP-E6N. You may face some overheating issues because of shooting in 4K and above resolutions.

Final Words

When it comes to photography, Canon EOS R5 has emerged as an undisputed king. However, there are also other cameras available in the market with more megapixels like A7R IV. Still, if we combine all features of Canon EOS R5, it is absolutely the best camera you can have for high-resolution images and underwater photography and videography. One of the finest features of Canon EOS R5 is its image stabilization and auto-focus capabilities.

However, when it comes to videography, you might get disappointed. The video quality is stunning, but the shooting in higher resolution heats the camera. If you are shooting in 4K 30fps, you will not face any overheating issues. But shooting in 4K 60fps will overheat the camera in 35 minutes, and shooting in 8K 30fps will overheat the camera in 20 minutes. To proceed further, you must allow your camera to cool down first. So, if your primary interest is video recording in higher resolutions, this camera might put limitations on it. The camera also gets affected by the temperature of your surroundings like direct sunlight, hot outdoors, and it will affect the record time. So, if you want to shoot a high-resolution short video, you can give this camera a shot.

Apart from that, Canon EOS R5 is the most refined camera product by Canon. If you want a perfect combination of features and functionalities, Canon EOS R5 is the ideal choice for you.
