The Canon EOS R5 has finally hit the market, and it brings with a wide range of incredible video features, but in addition to those, it is a highly capable stills camera. If you are looking at the EOS R5 for its stills features, this great video review will show you what you can expect from it.
Coming to you from Gordon Laing, this helpful video review takes a look at the Canon EOS R5 from a stills photography perspective. No doubt, with its marquee feature of 8K raw video, the EOS R5 has gathered a lot of attention for its video capabilities, but it is no slouch on the stills side either, sporting a 45-megapixel sensor, 12 fps continuous shooting using the mechanical shutter (20 fps using the electronic shutter), Canon's most powerful autofocus system ever (which incorporates Deep Learning technology for tracking and offers 1,053 AF points with full frame coverage), in-body image stabilization with up to eight stops of compensation, GPS, a 5.76-million-dot electronic viewfinder, vari-angle rear LCD touchscreen, wireless connectivity, and weather-sealing. Altogether, the EOS R5 looks to be quite an impressive camera for stills work and sure to please lots of Canon photographers. Check out the video above for Laing's full thoughts.
Who is still doing still images ? Did no one here know the future is 'moving pictures' ???
Look, HEIF is coming, and we'll have finished to look at thoses boring fixed pictures. We want moving picture (at least the market and influencers).
It is really confusing Canikon still dare to release photocameras that can take photos instead of choosing 2s in the video feed put into a revolutionary HEIF moving photography file. Hopefully this revolution will come with SONY... still waiting to see how the A7S III do it, but granted, they will give that to us everwhere.

I have better things to do than continue to go through your remarks like you did his. Just calm down and come off your sony high horse. Use gear that works for you and give fewer fucks about what other artists use. #fuckthegearwars
White flag. Sorry. I've been trying to be less of a dick online. It still creeps up from time to time. My bad. Good day.
Na man you were being fair to him, he's just angry at the world so don't sweat it
Actually the Canon R5 can do double the FPS of the A7III and has Animal AF tracking that the Sony currently can't match.
I currently use the A7III and I think both the R5 and R6 look amazing. If someone was to buy either body from Sony or Canon or even Nikon they would be getting an amazing camera that can do whatever they need it to for photography.
I would happily take an R5/R6 over my A7III or the 5DIV any day too.
The reason I bring up the A7III is that it’s the body that I use!
When it comes to A7III vs R6, there aren’t even thorough reviews for the R6 out yet by pure and reliable photographers like Dustin Abbott or Jared Polin so it would be hard to say if the Sony beats the Canon in low light. I also mentioned photography in what I said so video specs are relevant.
As a stills only photographer who couldn’t give a shit about video, the R5 and R6 blow everything out of the water. Everyone wanted an A9R for years and the R5 is that plus more. Only a Sony or Nikon fanboy wouldn’t be able to admit that.
I wouldn't say so much that I have a bias towards Canon, I'm just not a brand fanboy like some people that can't see a good camera when it exists due to brand.
At least we agree this is a waste of both of our time, mine especially.
Enjoy your little day
