8 Months With the Canon EOS R5: How Does It Hold Up?

The EOS R5 was a major paradigm shift in camera design for Canon, and it has been highly lauded for its impressive capabilities and wide feature set. How does it hold up after extended usage? This excellent video review discusses how the camera has performed over eight months of usage.

  • 4K 10-bit video at up to 120 fps
  • 12 fps continuous shooting rate using the mechanical shutter
  • 20 fps continuous shooting rate using the electronic shutter
  • Canon's most advanced autofocus yet, leveraging Deep Learning technology to improve tracking performance
  • 1,053 autofocus points with full coverage across all of the frame
  • 5-axis in-body image stabilization with up to eight stops of compensation
  • 5.76-million-dot electronic viewfinder with 120 fps refresh rate
  • Vari-angle rear LCD touchscreen

I have had my EOS R5 for a while now as well and have been quite impressed by its performance. Check out the video above for Elkins' full thoughts on the camera.
