CANON EOS R5

The Canon EOS R5 is finally here after months of leaks and rumours, not to mention teases from the manufacturer itself.
No camera in recent memory has received or, dare we say it, deserved this amount of hype. The Canon EOS R5 is a powerhouse performer: its 8K video outclasses many cinema cameras; its shooting speed puts it on a par with the best sport cameras; its 45MP sensor outmuscles all but a few of the best mirrorless cameras; and its eight-stop in-body image stabilisation makes it the new IBIS champion.
Of course, something had to be too good to be true. No sooner had the camera been revealed than the realities hit home regarding its headline video capabilities. Ironically, those red-hot specs are literally too hot for the camera to handle, as the R5 is subject to recording limitations to prevent it from overheating.
Features
The headline attraction here is the R5’s remarkable video capability. It can capture full-width (uncropped) raw 8K video using the entire readout of the 35mm sensor – and it does so internally at up to 29.97fps in 4:2:2 12-bit Canon Log or HDR PQ (both H.265) in both UHD and DCI.
