The summer 2020 release of the Canon EOS R5 made one thing clear - Canon has decided to set the photographic standard for this decade. Without a doubt, the EOS R5 is the top image maker of 2020 and could potentially go unmatched in the camera world for another few years.
Portrait photographer and YouTuber Manny Ortiz recently set out to compare the new Canon EOS R5 against his go-to workhorse, the Sony a7R III. But in addition to doing a general side-by-side usability comparison, he was looking at one thing in particular: dynamic range.
Photographer Brent Hall recently went out to shoot a comparison video that a lot of Canon shooters are eager to see: the brand new EOS R5 vs the EOS R6, for astrophotography, at high ISO. Does the lower resolution sensor of the R6 give it a low-light advantage?
Roger Cicala and the team at Lensrentals recently decided to do a proper heat emission test on the Canon EOS R5. After all the debates in the comments, amateur teardowns published to Weibo, and a whole lot of speculation, LR wanted to answer a basic question well: how does heat get out of this camera... or does it at all?
Over at Kolari Vision, we love tearing into the newest camera gears to learn how they work and if they can be modded for infrared photography, full spectrum photography, or other things.

I was one of the lucky ones who got their hands on the Canon EOS R5 early in August of 2020. The camera arrived in the morning, just before my flight to the Lofoten Islands. Here's a summary of my experience climbing to 7 summits in 7 days with Canon's new flagship mirrorless camera.
After a DPReview forum user suggested that the controversial overheating and recovery time limits on the new Canon EOS R5 may not be based on temperature at all, several people have tried various "hacks" that seem to prove him right. Based on these tests there is an artificial timer built into the camera's firmware, which can be reset.
Canon's had a rough go of it the past few weeks, but there are a couple of bright spots on the horizon. Reliable reports indicate that Canon is preparing to release two important things: new firmware for the EOS R5, and the much-anticipated RF 70-200mm f/4 lens.
A user in China has taken it upon him/herself to tear down the Canon EOS R5 in order to try and "fix" the overheating issues, and they've posted their results online. What they found has raised some questions about Canon's thermal design, and possible firmware limits.
Over the past few weeks, a ton of reviewers have been comparing the new Canon EOS R5 against the new Sony a7S III, but for stills shooters this is the wrong comparison.

Given all of the overheating controversy and the intense focus on the camera's 8K and 4K video capabilities, you'd be forgiven for forgetting that the Canon EOS R5 is also a stills camera. But Gordon Laing at Cameralabs didn't forget, and he's reviewed this camera specifically for stills photographers.
When Canon released the EOS R5 and EOS R6, they made it clear right away that both cameras were thermally limited when shooting 8K (R5) or oversampled 4K (both) video. But what does this mean for real world use? DPReview has now tested both cameras, and their conclusion is unfortunate for Canon fans who hoped that overheating concerns were made up or overblown.
Pixel peepers rejoice! After Canon made its big announcements two weeks ago, an enterprising user on the Fred Miranda forums managed to dig into Canon Japan's website and find full-resolution samples from the EOS R5, EOS R6, and several of the lenses that Canon unveiled.

Ever since Canon declared that the newly-announced EOS R5 would be able able to shoot 8K RAW video with NO crop, people have been waiting to hear the "catch." Would record time be super limited, or would the camera simply overheat very quickly? The answer, it seems, is "both."
Today's Canon announcements came fast and furious, with two full-frame cameras, four RF mount lenses, two teleconverters, and a printer all being announced at the same time.

I am a Canon Ambassador and I had the chance to test the new Canon EOS R5 (pre-production model) that we have all been anticipating for such a long time. This is not a review of the camera, but I wanted to share some of the most important settings and show you some real-life samples I was able to shoot that week.
The Canon leaks are coming hard and fast now that the official product launch is less than 48 hours away. Yesterday we got a peek at the various 8K modes of the EOS R5 and the new 600mm and 800mm f/11 lenses; today, we get our first leaked product photos of the more affordable EOS R6.

I'm not one to generally heap praise on camera products that one, I haven't tested or two, haven't even been fully announced yet let alone released. But given what we know about Canon's upcoming EOS R5, I have to change precedents, sit back and just clap.

The impact of the novel coronavirus outbreak continues to ripple across the industry.

Trevor Jones of AstroBackyard recently got his hands on a niche camera that will be extremely interesting to astrophotographers... and just about nobody else: the Canon EOS Ra.
