The Canon EOS R5 looks to bring full-frame mirrorless technology to the first-class professional market. Has it succeeded?
mirrorless camera acting as a test bed to get people used to the idea of a full-frame mirrorless setup. After a couple of years, some stiff competition and a few firmware upgrades, can the R5 still live up to expectations?In this review, we'll be taking a more detailed look at the Canon EOS R5, testing it in a range of situations and subject styles, as well as looking at its video capabilities to ask whether this is the best mirrorless package for professional photographers available.
Users of the 5D, which many purchasers of the R5 will be, will be kept happy with a nice balance in design and ergonomics between that and the more modern EOS R. There's a screen on top and a fully-tilting touchscreen display, but the right thumbstick and rotating dial on the back to adjust autofocus makes an appearance and is a welcome throwback to older versions of Canon's professional camera setups.
Much fanfare was made about the fact that the R5 uses a brand new processor unit and the first one with inbuilt body stabilization. It works very well, stabilizing dark scenes and low light conditions to enable the detail in shadows and blacks to be reclaimed in Lightroom. It is also an excellent option for astrophotography when paired with the right wide-angle lens.
Speaking of batteries, being a mirrorless camera, usage over the day took its toll on the power sources, which understandably struggled to keep up with the camera's specs. Not that it was entirely disappointing, however, and Canon has managed to pack 2,130mAh into their new battery, which is also surprisingly and welcomingly backward-compatible with any camera that accepts LP-E6.
