CANON EOS R5
It is undoubtedly the most talked-about camera of the last ten years, and now the Canon EOS R5 has finally arrived – and along with it, a tidal wave of hype and expectation is hitting the shores of reality and Reddit experts.
The R5 promises the world, with the kind of specs that on paper would make this the ultimate all-purpose camera: a 45Mp full-frame image sensor; uncropped 8K raw internal video; uncropped 4K video all the way up to 120fps; a maximum 20fps continuous shooting speed that matches that of the EOS-1D X Mk III, Canon’s flagship DSLR; autofocus that uses the same AI-based algorithm that powers the flagship, but surpasses it with Dual Pixel CMOS AF II and Animal autofocus; In-Body Image Stabilization that’s good for an incredible 8 stops; support for the cutting-edge CFexpress memory card format and so much more. Of course, something had to be too good to be true. No sooner had the camera been revealed then the realities hit home regarding the headline video capabilities – and ironically, those red-hot specs are literally too hot for the camera to handle, as the R5 is subject to strict recording limitations to prevent it from overheating.
Just how painful is this sting in the tail, and is there anything
