The Canon EOS R5 is a professional-grade full-frame mirrorless camera that offers 8K RAW video capture and other advanced features. It’s the predecessor to the more advanced Canon EOS R5 Mark II. Key features include:
45MP full-frame CMOS sensor; DIGIC X image processor
8K30 RAW and 4K120 video capture
12 fps continuous stills with a mechanical shutter
5-axis image stabilization; 100% coverage autofocus
45MP Full-Frame Sensor and DIGIC X Processor. The Canon EOS R5’s newly designed 45MP full-frame CMOS sensor works in tandem with the DIGIC X processor to produce high-resolution stills and video with plenty of speed. The native ISO range of 100-51,200 can be expanded to 100-102,400, making this camera suitable for working in a wide range of lighting conditions.
8K30 RAW and 4K 120 Video. The EOS R5’s 45MP sensor makes internal DCI 8K 30 fps RAW capture possible, in addition to 4K recording at up to 120 fps in 4:2:2 10-bit with Canon Log and HDR-PQ. Please note that DCI 8K is the only format in which you can shoot RAW with the R5—every other resolution offers All-I or IPB compression. External HDMI output supports clean 4K output at up to 60 fps. Audio in and out are available through standard 3.5mm jacks for both microphones and headphones. For additional video features, check out the Canon EOS R5 C.
Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization. The built-in five-axis image-stabilization system compensates for eight stops of camera shake, making it great for shooting hand-held at lower shutter speeds. This camera’s image stabilization works in tandem with lens-based optical image stabilization on native RF lenses and adapted EF lenses.
Dual-Pixel CMOS Autofocus II. This camera incorporates a Dual-Pixel CMOS Autofocus II system, which is an update to the system previously seen in the 5D Mark IV. Its 1,053 manually selectable points cover 100% of the image frame to give you smooth, fast focusing similar to what you’d find on a camcorder, while its use of Deep Learning tech gives you improved subject tracking and more precise eye, face, and head detection. Movie Servo AF mode lets you dictate tracking sensitivity, autofocus speed, and face-tracking priority, and video shooters can even use the rear touchscreen LCD to rack focus.
Body Design. The large OLED live viewfinder has a 5.67m-dot resolution, 0.76x magnification, and 120 fps refresh rate that make it great for easy eye-level composition. The 3.2-inch rear touchscreen LCD monitor allows you to pull focus in video mode and make quick adjustments in the camera’s menu system, while its vari-angle design makes it great for vlogging and other front-facing recording applications, and for shooting at high and low angles. A top status LCD lets you quickly and easily review camera and shooting settings. A tank-like magnesium-alloy build and weather sealing keep out the elements and dust.
Built-In Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Integrated Bluetooth and Wi-Fi let you use Canon’s Camera Connect app to instantly transfer images to your mobile device so that you can easily share them on social media, in email, and to the cloud. You can also use it to shoot remotely.
User Flexibility. The R5 records images/video to CFexpress Type B and SD UHS-II memory cards (not included), and has a dedicated slot for each card type. CFexpress cards are great for 8K video and high-speed, high-res burst shooting, while SD cards offer broad compatibility in a familiar format. The camera is powered by the popular LP-E6NH rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
