Pros: High image quality of both stills and video. Wonderful AF system. A very handy flippy-touchscreen. Good IBIS. Great ergonomics. Nice EVF. Impressive burst speed for 45mp FF. Well implemented manual focus assistance.

Cons: Two different types of memory card slots (SD+CFX). The longest exposure time in electronic shutter mode is only 1/2sec. It doesn't recognize people automatically and you have to switch people/animal modes, because while it does track people in animal mode, it does much better in people AF mode.

Opinion: I'm using the R5 for almost two years now. It's the best camera I have ever owned. The most amazing thing about it must be the AF system. It can literally track insects. It's amazing. I've shot flies in flight )). Birds, animals, people, objects - easy task, no problem at all, even in low light. The battery life is better than I expected, but it's not DSLR level, not even close. My 6D could last for a week of stills on the same LP-E6 battery, while the R5 can only go for a day or two. Not a huge problem, but the batteries will wear out much faster due to more charging cycles. The flippy touchscreen is excellent. High quality picture, good brightness and contrast, very responsive. Fantastic. I would really prefer to have two identical card slots, for two CFX-B cards. Because using two sets of incompatible cards is inconvenient to say the least and rather pointless. Because SD cards can't handle the highest bitrate video modes. Plus, SD cards are just less reliable. Perfect size for my hands. Well balanced. But I would prefer to have the Menu button and the on/off switch on the right side of the camera. Not a deal-breaker though. I don't shoot much at high ISOs. But those few times that I did "crank it up to 11", I mean up to 12800, didn't disappoint (for stills). It's capable of producing very usable results at high ISOs. And the colors are not simply falling apart like they used to on older cameras. Low ISOs are beautiful with good dynamic range. Lastly, it has the anti-aliasing (AA) filter, which affects sharpness, color and contrast, while reducing moire pattern and Bayer CFA artifacts. Which is good for video and people photography. But not so good for stills like wildlife, landscapes or macro (which I love). However, the AA filter in R5 is surprisingly good, not too destructive. So, no complaints here. Great camera. Best experience. Highly recommended!

Pros: After the R3 there is still it, some components are of "old" conception, but the performance is still superior to all the other R's after 4 years.

Cons: Outdated key ergonomics and viewfinder

Opinion: It's a camera that has never "taken" me that much, but I wanted to try it to get an idea.. and I did well.. In fact, after the R3, this R5 remains Canon's second (and only) purely professional mirrorless camera. It is no coincidence that the CPS had "warned" me that my R6ii is considered by them to be an amateur camera only and with R5 I would have seen a "nice" difference... Actually, nothing tragic... It is just a matter of having personally ascertained that the autofocus performance of the R5, understood as the ability to recognize and lock on to a subject and to keep it in focus, is still slightly superior to the most recent R6ii and especially compared to the R7. In the forum (unfortunately it was obvious) the idea has passed that the most recent products must always be superior to the older ones ( thought unfortunately typical of fanboyism ) , and you often read scary absurdities such as that an R7 is superior to an R5 or even an R3 or that an R50 is superior to an R6 , just because maybe it's equipped with a cooler processor and a greater set of features. In fact, for example, the R6ii can shoot at 40fps without blackouts for a much greater number of shots and boasts more AF customization functions, including the latest and very useful tracking that can be activated over the entire area, while the R5 shoots "only" at 20fps with blackout and uses the classic tracking.... But still, as I always remember, Canon is not stupid at all... indeed... If you think that it will "give" you a new R7 for 3000 euros less than the R5 and that it is even better, well... you are very wrong.... Ditto for the R6ii, although the difference in this case is smaller than the one with the R7. As I said at the beginning, however, the R5 has never "taken" me too much, also because Canon for now continues to be only my second kit and at least for now I am not going to put too high figures, also 45mpx for what I have to do I do I don't need anything, the 24 are already enough... I think they are useful only if you want to enlarge a passerine bird to enjoy the details (a game that after a while leaves the time it finds) but to shoot sports JPEGs or if you can properly fill the frame in photo hunting, all those mpx are of no use to me... However, there are some aspects where the R5 has now been surpassed by the R6ii, in particular the ergonomics of the buttons: the joystick is old-fashioned, the button (or rather the button) AF-ON is small and above all recessed and too close to the joystick. all things that in the R6ii have been revised and improved for the benefit of comfort. but above all the age difference with the R6ii can be seen in the brightness and visual comfort of the viewfinder. that of the R6ii, although less resolute, is brighter and more comfortable. and in general the gap between the viewfinder of R5 compared to Z8/9 and Sony A9iii/A1 and also to my Olympus OM1 is "abysmal" .. Another aspect that doesn't make me crazy, which I had already noticed some time ago, regarding files, is a certain tendency towards magenta especially in certain light conditions, which can be a problem especially with regard to JPEGs. With the R6ii and R3, new, more "pleasant" color sciences have been adopted... In the future, an R5ii with the right improvements and even without mounting a stacked sensor could be a winning weapon ...

Pros: Spectacular, fast and accurate autofocus, trekking face, eyes on animals you won't believe, hooks the eye even from far away. Very realistic electronic viewfinder. 20 FPS continuously is very long. Electronic shutter Silent and you become invisible. Using EF Optics ,Battery Life . 45 megapixels

Cons: CF Express Type B Cost

Opinion: What can we say about the R5, a great top-of-the-range machine even if we are at the end of its life... the R5 mk2 will most likely be released shortly. Before taking it I compared the "same subject" files between R6 and R5 and so the monkey started. Then RCE and Canon's Cash Back allow you to pick up something new without breaking the bank and so we got R5. Coming from the R6 it was very easy to set the car with the same parameters. The 45 megapixel sensor is a lot of stuff... compared to the R6 file, if you don't need to crop the R5 you can also not take it. The 20fps burst is compared to the R6 much much longer... the R6 after 4 seconds burst at 20fps locks buffer full. Silent electronic shutter release and the animal... People don't hear you and you become invisible. ibis high resolution I use it to play deny you and it works well.

Pros: File quality, stabilization, resolution, AF

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: After a long period of use, I can write my own review of the machine. Let me start by saying that I come from 1dx and my main genres are portraits and sports photography. The advantages are countless, I'll mention a few: the MAF points are endless, the focus tracking system is very good, but not perfect (in some cases of sports photography it has lost focus on the athlete), the stabilization allows you to shoot even at 1s handheld, the display and the viewfinder are excellent, in short, I'm very satisfied!

Pros: The density of the sensor allows cuts without excessively affecting the final quality - AF is always on point, especially in low light or in the presence of filters such as the ND 1000

Cons: Given the use I make of it and being a simple amateur photographer, nothing that prevented me from shooting as I would have liked.

Opinion: I'm just an amateur photographer, so my opinion is not that of a professional. You could copy and paste the merits of my 5D4 and add to these a more advanced AF department, especially at night or in the presence of "dark" filters. With machines of this level, I think the limit is always represented by man and I am referring to myself. I like to take night photos or with dark filters and with the 5D4 I happen to resort to manual focus, enlarging the subject or waiting for the ok of the red dot in the viewfinder but with the R5 no, with "her" you compose the image, you set the shooting parameters and the automatic focus is always there. The ISO wheel is very comfortable, unlike the 5D4 where, if not from memory, it is difficult to adjust them without looking at it. I prefer the rubberized exterior finish to the same as the 5D4 because it seems more "fragile" to me; On the original powered handle, for example, a flap came off that I tried to glue. This is not the best camera in the segment but, at least personally, it is the most comfortable and reliable object I have ever owned. Obviously my 80D and 5D4 remain and will always remain with me but, with the tilt and at night the R5 cannot stay at home and in fact it does not stay there. Hoping that I have done something pleasing or useful, I greet everyone.
