Canon EOS R5 Mirrorless Digital Camera (Body Only)
The new full-frame mirrorless camera currently under development will fully leverage the advantages of the EOS R System to realize high-speed continuous shooting and 8K video recording in order to expand the boundaries of visual expression. Additionally, it can contribute to a more efficient workflow thanks to improved transmission functionality, operability, and reliability. These enhancements and more will help the new camera elevate the EOS Series concept of speed, comfort, and high image quality to a higher level.
Flagship Camera Canon EOS R5
Make way for the new king. The EOS R5 is here with groundbreaking 8K resolution video recording, included for the first time ever in a Canon camera. With all-new Animal Detection AF and powerful In-Body Image Stabilization that goes up to 8 stops for edge-to-edge high quality images and video made possible by the RF mount, experience the best of Canon's full-frame mirrorless series with this flagship model -- the EOS R5.
Next-Gen Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera
Canon's EOS R5, the first of the next-generation full-frame mirrorless cameras in the company's EOS R System, will include a newly developed CMOS sensor that makes possible such advanced features as high-speed continuous shooting-up to approximately 20 fps using an electronic shutter and up to approximately 12 fps using a mechanical shutter-to facilitate shooting of athletes at sporting events and other fast-moving subjects.
8K Video Capture
In addition, the camera's 8K video capture capability will enable users to extract high-resolution still images from video footage as well as process 8K video into higher-quality 4K video, opening up new possibilities for visual expression. What's more, the EOS R5 will be the first Canon camera equipped with a high-performance coordinated image stabilization (IS) system that integrates the camera's in-body IS with IS systems on attached RF lenses. The camera will also feature dual media card slots and will support automatic transfer of image files from the device to the Canon cloud platform (to be available from early April 2020).

Great camera. Wish there will be a firmware upgrade to make it 30fps.
The improvement in focusing is noticeable and great. I have barely missed any focus. 45MP is great in case cropping is needed. I am super impressed by the 20fps shooting and it's day and night difference comparing to 5DIV. Not seeing it will happen in reality but I wish it could be upgraded to 30fps to make the camera even more enjoyable.
The camera froze a couple of times during high speed continuous shooting. I had to power cycle the camera. It seems to be a common problem.

Long-term review: frequent crashes, subpar build quality
I loved the camera at first. After over a year, I'm still mostly happy with it. In terms of features and image quality, it's a winner. The autofocus is amazing. However, it crashes too often for a pro camera. This seems to fluctuate with firmware updates. Lately it's been OK, but it went through a nearly unusable phase in the last version of the firmware and I missed many shots because of camera crashes. It's also not well weather sealed and if I'm out in light rain, I quickly get condensation behind the viewfinder. Honestly, I just don't trust it out in the weather and that prevents me from getting the job done. Similarly, the build quality in general is no where near the standard of Canon's older pro cameras. I suppose, to be fair, they say that the R1 will be the flagship, but still, the R5 was the top of the line and the choice for many pros when it came out and still with the R1 not out yet, many pros will choose the R5 over the R3. Unfortunately, for me, Canon just doesn't have the right offerings anymore. I'll likely be moving over to another brand.
It's such a shame because Canon still has great technology, features, optics. But build quality, repairs, customer service, have all gone down hill and those things are critical for professionals.

Great camera
Came well packaged, no damaged pieces and nothing missing. The camera itself works great, no malfunctions to speak of. Of course if you want to use a camera like this, do your research so you know how to use it to the fullest capability. All in all, glad I got it before it spiked in price any further.

nice
Very nice love the eye focus system, but you need to use a dual button back focus system be cause the eye focus is a little hard to lock on birds in trees

EOS R5 Review
This is the finest camera I have ever owned. I am still learning all of the capabilities that it offers. The eye detection is unbelievable and the fast focus is incredible. Since I own a Canon EOS R I can go back and forth between the two without stopping to remember which one I have. In fact all I have to do is look through the viewfinder and I know which one I have. The 24-105 kit lens is sharp, smooth and quiet. I am attempting to learn focus stacking. So many potentials yet to become familiar with. So many potential subjects to explore.

IRC cut filter needed
I rented, r5, r6, shooting with them same problem, magenta images, and footage reason weak irc cut filter; image correction takes too much time. This problem exists across camera industry with Arri, Red, BMC, Panasonic. R5c, c70, c200, c500 all have weak irc filter too, simple example shoot a black shirt, its image on camera will have purple hue. If we as consumers are going to spend our hard earned money into a tool that is supposed to work and it doesn’t . Really bad ,wrong and these manufacturers should be ashamed of themselves as will never be good enough

Worthy Upgrade!
I upgraded from a Canon 5D Mark IV that I have been using for the last 4 years. It was such a seemless transition. The zoomable evf, Ibis, and articulating screen are so helpful with my macro shooting. Loving the R5!

Worth the Wait!
I had been using the EOS 5D Mk III which worked well for me. But, what mirrorless had to offer peaked my interest. I rented an EOS R which sold me on the tech. But, knowing a vastly improved successor was coming, I waited. The wait was justified. The Face/Eye detect, alone, was worth it. I no longer have to hope that the focusing points line up with my portrait compositions. AF is faster and Exposure Simulation is awesome. I can even tackle sports shooting with the increase frame rate. There are a whole host of other goodies that would take a book (the manual, LOL) to describe. The only negatives I give the R5 are the reticulating screen and the fact that the camera does have a tendency to freeze momentarily. Subsequent firmware revisions made things better. But, it still happens, though seldomly. I wish the screen flipped up instead of out. I don't vlog, so, I don't have the need to see myself.

Upgraded from 5D Mark III and LOVE it.
I bought the Canon EOS R5 in October 2021 and did a police K-9 photoshoot the day after I received it. It was amazing how it locked onto the dogs eye while running towards me. I had almost 100% success rate with focus for every photo taken. I was previously using my Canon 5D Mark III which was a great DSLR, but I'm happy with the mirrorless. The focus, the sharpness, the quietness...amazing! I bought the adapter to use my EF lenses on the R5 and everything is so nice and sharp as if there wasn't any adapter being used, which I'm so thankful for so I didn't have to purchase new lenses. I don't use it for videos, so I haven't had any heat issues. The huge megapixels are handy for cropping wildlife photos, or just printing large prints, but it's definitely going to take up a lot more space on the hard drives, so keep that in mind. One other thing I've noticed since switching cameras during the fall busy photo season is my editing has changed. I spend less time editing photos now than I used to because it is so much more accurate than my old camera. I will include some sample photos I've taken here and there since October. :)

Great camera for anything
I bought the first Canon EOS 5D when it came out.
What a great camera full frame back then, but I wanted a better autofocus, I bough a lot of Canons until I got the 5Ds that I can I wished it was better on the iso. I bought a Sony camera and I sold a lot of cameras from canon but I kept the 70-200 is II.
I was about tho begin buying glass for the Sony until
I had money to go for the EOS R5!
The Sony is collecting dust and I have new RF glass.
This is the Camera that I waited for a decade!
Now I feel this Camera is perfect for now!
We always want more but I can do great things with this tool.
Thank you Canon! I feel good about this camera!

Mirrorless is the way to go!
I love this camera. Mirrorless is they way to go. The viewfinder is terrific. The files are very larger but so is the ability to crop dramatically and still get a great image. I've been using it for about 6 months with no problems. I don't shoot a lot of video, but for short clips, some up to 15 minutes, I've never had a problem with overheating. I do not shoot in 8K video as I have no screens or TV's that can show 8K! 4K seems like more than enough. Animal, people and eye tracking for autofocus is really impressive. The RF 24-105mm Lens is very good and better than the original EF version, which I had before.

Need This software update ASAP
The only thing I need for my R5 to be perfect for photo is the ability to assign the 1.6 crop mode to one button. No menu, no quick menu. Let me go back and forth between full frame and 1.6 with one button click. Not interested in the c1, c2, and c3 modes either. Please do this for me canon.

Impressed with auto focus and IBIS
Photos are very sharp. Appreciate being able to get sharp photos when hand holding using IBIS and lens IS, even longer exposures such as blurring water falls. Great for hiking when the tripod doesn't make the cut into the pack for weight concerns.

Amazing Camera
I bought this a little over a month ago and it is a huge step forward from my 5 DS. I took both out on a photo shoot and the R5 won hands down using the new RF 100-400 on the R5 vs the EF 100-400 L on the 5 DS. Quite simply, the performance in still photography is amazing. The 5 DS was my go to camera but now the R% has taken it's place. I am looking to pick up another R5 within the next few months.

AF doesn't search
The camera takes great photos. The AF when it works is spot on. However, if you're using a long lens to photograph birds, I am using the 100-500RF lens, the AF will not even search if the bird it's not visible. If it's just a blur, and the AF point is on that blur, the camera will not focus. It doesn't even search, it does nothing. I have to prefocus it on something close to the bird and then focus on the bird. Same thing if I try to focus on a bird in flight. Camera won't even search for focus. I thought something was wrong with my camera, but apparently it's a problem with mirrorless cameras.

Hi, I bought this camera couple of months ago and it over heated and stopped working after a while. Don't like this product anymore. The hype wasn't worth it.

Amazing Camera - with room for improvement
I have had the EOS R5 for nearly 11 months now, coming from previous "5" series bodies (5D Mark II, Mark III and Mark IV), and I can easily say it's a huge upgrade. Took some time to get comfortable with the new button layout, however I love being able to cycle through the Custom Modes using the M-Fn button -- no need to turn a dial. The increase in auto-focus points from 61 to 1053 (full sensor coverage) with Eye Tracking is great, as well as being able to shoot at 20 FPS with the Electronic Shutter. I love photographing wildlife so these are game changers for me. I was originally concerned about the sensor being 45 MPs, however the Compressed RAW format works well and saves space, with the files being smaller than the 5D Mark IV's (30 MP). The In-body Image Stabilization (IBIS) is another great new feature. It certainly makes shooting with non-IS lenses easier.
I don't shoot much video, however I love the 120 FPS mode, which has allowed me to capture hummingbirds in flight, among other things. How about 240 FPS in Full HD, Canon? However, overheating while shooting video is still an issue, even with the updated firmware. An improved heat sink would help to address this, as third-parties have shown.
A replacement for ZoomBrowser would be welcome, so you could quickly browse and rate .CR3 files.
Also, more custom configuration options would be helpful, as some options can only be applied to certain buttons. And, for Quinton in LA, you can set the "Still Image Aspect Ratio" to a button; I have it set to the SET button. See page 818 in the Manual.
In summary, a worthy successor to the 5D Mark IV.

Great photography camera!!
This is my second R5. I bought a R6 previously, which I loved, but wanted a little more...so I decided to pull the trigger on my first R5. I was honestly a bit underwhelmed, but I attribute it more to my expectations being too high. I was looking for a hybrid, but was putting too much emphasis on video. Since, I returned that R5 and picked up the Sony A7Siii....which is an AMAZING camera. The video capability from that camera is second to none. But, what about photography....what am I to do, when someone asks me to shoot stills? So, I bought another R5....since...I've done a combined project with the R5, A7sIII and my GH5 and I am in LOVE....there is just something about Canon that I can't get away from...

Love the R5 but i need this feature
The R5 is a complete game changer. It's definitely a favorite. However, there's something else I need that I'm sure Canon could make happen with a simple update. I’d love the ability to change to crop 1.6 mode with just one button click while shooting photo. Currently we have to go into the menu to do it and can’t remap a button to do that one thing. The closest to making it one button is adding the aspect ratio/crop to a favorite menu, which is still an inconvenience. If we could have one button switching for this mode it would be super helpful for weddings when we are on the move and don’t have time to switch lenses or go into the menu. I can imagine it would be super helpful in other cases where photographers need to switch quickly. Thanks in advance.

Canon R5 - No Brainer
The R5 is easy to love. The quality of the viewfinder is awesome and negates any fear about sacrificing an optical viewfinder. All aspects of image quality will satisfy you, especially focus speed and accuracy. Well worth the cost.

This is by far the most technically advanced camera I have ever used. I love it! I shoot stills primarily, so I can't really comment about the video capabilities or issues. For my work, everything about this camera is absolutely amazing!

Although there are numerous Menu items, this camera is set up to that it is easy to understand, access and utilize the Menu items. I particularly like the three Custom Shooting setups available, as well as the My Menu items, all of which only make it even easier. Great picture quality.

Dream Come True!
I used to shoot on Nikon. But when my less than 2 year old D750 started giving me less than great images, I was having doubts about the brand. All of my lenses had soft focus and I was getting visible grain at ISO 800! I tried every trick in the book to figure out what was wrong, but nothing fixed the issues. So I rented an R5 and Fell. In. Love. This camera is AMAZING!! Fast focus, sharp, intuitive and user friendly! The customizable features are such a great addition to an already spectacular camera! Touch and drag focus is a Game Changer!! Although my nose sometimes moves the focal point when it touches the screen. As soon as my rental was up, I purchased the R5 and have been loving it! Now if only the lenses weren’t all on back order. ;) I definitely recommend this camera!

The canon R5 is a great camera no doubt. i want to add my voice to the many asking for the 30minute record limit to be removed. This is hindering the capability of such a great camera. Canon please remove the 30 minute record limit in video

Excellent Camera and even more Excellent Support
I wanted to get the R5 with kit 24-105 L F4, but that was sold out for a long time. Hence when R5 body and 24-105 lens was available separately I took the plunge and purchased it. I'm upgrading from a Canon Rebel T2i (550D) and obviously the full frame mirrorless body was a significant upgrade. Just love the way it grips and the 24-105 F4 is plenty sharp!
One issue i faced right off the bat was my battery wouldn't charge! I tired all the permutations and combinations tried several power outlets, tried charging it inverted nothing worked. My charger would always start "Rapid Blinking" and I could never charge it past 60%
I contacted Canon Support and they were super helpful. They understood the issue and sent a new battery pack.
The new pack arrived today and its charging well so far!
Another issue thats not a huge impact to my workflow is "Connecting to Wifi and Cloud". I've never been able to connect to my home wifi. Scouring through the forums , looks like its got an issue where there is a mesh wifi. Living in an Apartment complex I cannot fix other's wifi or switch them off! So hoping that Canon would fix this through a firmware update.
Reduced one star as the delivery of the new battery pack was slower than i expected.
