Canon EOS R5 review: It holds nothing back

It may have taken two years to get it right, but the 45MP, 8K-shooting Canon EOS R5 proves that Canon knows how to be a leader in mirrorless cameras.

Excellent, 45MP photos ; Impressive 4K/8K video modes ; Responsive subject-tracking AF ; Good 5-axis image stabilization ; Excellent build quality

Control layout could be improved ; Can overheat in video mode ; Risk of banding at high ISO

Canon EOS R5 review

Canon's EOS R5 is one of the best mirrorless cameras on the market today. But even with its 45MP sensor, 20fps bursts and 8K video, its not without its flaws. Find out all the ups and downs of Canon's latest mirrorless flagship right here.

The Canon EOS R5 is one of the best cameras on the market, so long as you have the cash and desire this level of image quality and performance. It's fast, has an excellent autofocus system, offers high resolution, excellent video quality with plentiful...

Canon EOS R5 Review

Superb 45MP full-frame sensor ; Fast, accurate autofocus ; Subject tracking at up to 20fps ; Big, brilliant EVF ; Swing-out touch LCD ; 5-axis IBIS ; CFexpress and UHS-II SDXC card support ; 8K and 4K video look great

Video record time limited by heat ; Expensive CFexpress memory required for some features ; Battery life could be better ; Lens system still has some room to grow ; Priced higher than competitors

Still photographers will find little at fault with the high-resolution Canon EOS R5, but heat management issues will leave video-first creatives looking elsewhere.

Canon EOS R5 Review

The EOS R5 has been the hottest full-frame camera on the block ever since Canon pre-announced it back at the start of 2020, thanks to its headline grabbing twin features of a 45 megapixel sensor and 8K video recording. We've seen it a few times since...

Canon EOS R5 review

Is the Canon EOS R5 the best Canon camera you can buy?

Stunning image quality ; Best-in-class autofocus and IBIS ; Super-fast burst shots ; 8K video at 30fps and 4K at up to 120fps

Recording limitations with higher res video

The Canon EOS R5 remains the best Canon camera for most uses, and one of the best stills cameras full stop. Two years after release, it's proved to be everything the professional workhorse we'd hoped for thanks to superb autofocus, super rapid burst...
