Here is the review of the Canon EOS R5, the first camera with 8K video. A double-edged sword, it turns out.

Almost the complete camera with 8K video, extreme resolution, insane firing rate and near perfect ergonomics.

8K is demanding for both the camera, the computer - and the photographer. Short battery life without vertical grip, and high price.

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

Still an incredible smartphone, Brilliant battery life gets a bit better, Excellent camera system gets a bit better

Last year’s Pro hardware, Wireless charging slow by modern standards, No USB-C; it’s now well overdue

The Canon EOS R5 is well-suited for just about any type of photographer, whether you shoot portraits, events, weddings, sports, family gatherings, and more. We've felt a bit let down by Canon's promises of the camera's outright video capability, but for most users, it's still a great option for...

Landscape; event; portrait; and wedding photographers; as well as sports photographers that can benefit from the camera's fast burst rate in its electronic shutter mode.

Dedicated video users wanting the best video quality will be hampered by overheating; hybrid photo/video shooters that split their time but still need top-quality video.

The Canon EOS R5 leaves little doubt that Canon is now serious about the mirrorless camera market. It has phenomenal specification with features like a 45Mp full-frame sensor, phase detection autofocusing that covers the whole frame, eye AF for humans and animals that works in video and stills mode...

45Mp full-frame sensor with full AF coverage; 12fps/20fps continuous shooting with continuous AF; Uncropped internal 8K video recording for up to 20 minutes

8K video will require lots of storage capacity

The EOS R5 is a good match for its target market: principally professional users who shoot both photos and video for work.

First introduced in July 2020 , Canon EOS R5 is a 45.0MP Pro Mirrorless camera with a Full frame (36 x 24 mm ) sized CMOS sensor, built-in Image Stabilization, weather-sealed body, Fully articulated touch screen and Canon RF lens mount.

Anti-dust Shutter during Lens Change, Built-in Wireless (Wi-fi), Bluetooth Connectivity, 5-axis Image Stabilization, Articulating Screen, 8K at 30fps and 4K at 120fps Video Recording, No crop on 4K Videos, 10-bit 4:2:2 Color Sampling, Touch Screen, Electronic Built-in Viewfinder, Face Detection...

Low Battery Life: 320 shots

More like an iPhone 13S. The generational upgrades for the iPhone 14 are limited to a few subtle changes. At the same time, however, the base price climbs to 800 USD, while the only true innovation happens inside the iPhone 14 Pro series.

excellent OLED display, dust- and waterproof, fast Wi-Fi, wide range of supported frequencies, great camera, very fast performance, good battery life

display limited to 60 Hz, charging rate limited to 20 watts, no macro lens, wide notch

“Canon held nothing back to deliver the full-frame camera its fans craved.”

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

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.

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
