Canon EOS R5 body

In the midst of 2020, Canon's portfolio of cameras has been replenished with perhaps the most sophisticated model EOS R5. This is a full-frame mirrorless camera with a high-resolution 45 MP sensor that supports 8K in-camera video.

Pro level video recording

The combination of a full frame sensor and a powerful DIGIC X image processor allows you to record 8K video at up to 30 fps in RAW or H.265. Video shooting in 4K resolution is available with a frame rate of up to 120 fps. Footage is saved to SD and CFexpress memory cards in 10-bit, 4:2:2 subsampled format using C-Log or HDR PQ profiles. During the shooting, the operator is assisted by the proprietary Dual Pixel CMOS AF focus system of the second generation with a choice of 1053 autofocus areas. Videographers will appreciate.

Matrix stabilization system

Mirrorless photography is also at the pro level. For her, the rate of fire is claimed at 12 fps with a mechanical shutter and 20 fps with an electronic one, which is very “tasty”, as for a 45-megapixel sensor resolution. Also on board the model debuted stabilization based on matrix shift. Side-by-side with some Canon RF lenses, the matrix stub helps to win up to 8 stops of shutter speed compared to critical values.

Developed ergonomics

The electronic OLED-viewfinder of the camera with a resolution of 5.76 million dots works out a frequency of up to 120 fps, which allows you to track the fastest moving objects through the "peephole". In return, he can resort to the services of a touch screen that rotates in all planes. An additional information screen for duplicating key settings is placed on the upper end of the camera body, which is made of magnesium alloy with dust and water protection qualities.

Out of competition

You will have to fork out a lot to buy a camera. For a couple with at least one lens, it costs akin to a good used foreign car. The only frustrating factor in the model is poor battery life (320 shots on a single battery charge). Otherwise, we are presented with a mastodon of the photographic industry, on equal terms with which practically no one can compete.
