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: Density sensor, CFexpress B memory card, AA filter, light meter, white balance, stabilizer etc, has so many pros

Cons: Noise, SD card, AF lock lower than R6 but only in low light, pixel shift only jpeg

Opinion: Decisive leap towards the super dense sensor by Canon for its class 5, unfortunately. The car itself is not bad, on the contrary. The sensor is of good quality, the raw decent, only that it is a purely studio camera, with meditated landscapes, thoughtful portraits. We no longer have the ALL-AROUND we were used to with the 5 series. Can it be used in other areas with good results? Definitely, but it's not his field. I would have preferred to have a camera with fewer pixels and more high ISO resistance and the option of a superpixelated version eventually. The AA filter, exposure meter, white balance are good for those who shoot in Jpeg. The pixel shift only in jpeg is absurd, a joke. On the video side, on the other hand, it has many useful things starting from the ALL-I, but also here: RAW shooting only on the CFexpress, when Blackmagic saves in raw on SD. It is the usual Canon that positions the cameras in market segments always giving the impression of having bought a good product but a bit neutered, it is true that no one gives anything away, but this is its only superpixelated mirrorles, an effort could have been made and instead even in its Mk2 it has remained anchored to this philosophy, never mind. My opinion is: it makes sense to buy it only if you practice certain genres listed above.

Pros: viewfinder , articulated screen , file , white balance , AF

Cons: Power button on the left, batteries last short, overheats, operating speed, dominant magenta

Opinion: So let's start from the assumption that I love this car, in my opinion it is a body that allows you to do everything from wedding, landscape portrait to naturalistic ,,, the file is very malleable it scrambles as you want. The AF system is excellent especially the locking of the subjects and the eye focus, it focuses even in very little light, but the general operating speed remains a little slow especially when you wake up the camera quickly from standbye, I took many photos I find the file wonderful for how it manages to give me the opportunity to work it but it has a very big flaw this dominate magenta really invasive when you shoot with little light. The power button on the left I have not yet got used to it and I will never succeed, another problem is overheating especially when you work in the summer it happened to me that it also crashed with photos unfortunately not only with video, in addition the batteries do not last long. Even in the studio with the use of flashes it behaves very well, in short, overall I still consider it an excellent camera with which to really do everything in an excellent way.

Pros: PRO Background Camera -

Cons: Photo-video switch

Opinion: I have been using this camera for some time now and I have been lucky enough to use it in the most diverse contexts. As for the photographic compartment, the consideration I can make is that it is 100% performing in all contexts. The professional who equips himself with this tool finds in his hands a series of functions that leave no misunderstandings, It is a PRO camera and it does it very well. If you want, the only exception lies in the "nature \\ sports photography" environment where, to date, we have undoubtedly more specialized and adapted cameras such as 1DXmk3 (in the Olympus of cameras) and R3-R1 (the latter, never personally tested), but we are still talking about cameras ultra devoted to operational speed in all its forms and therefore it is normal that they are more performing in this sense, But I can assure you that we are talking about a complete and high-performance tool in all its parts. As for the video compartment, I can say that, in addition to the huge number of possible settings, it knows how to return wonderful files. 4K 120 fps is something fantastic, 8K I have never even tried it so as not to put PC, HD and the whole file management system in crisis. I encountered the problem of overheating on one occasion, in Spain, in July it was 40 degrees outside, in the sealed shed almost 50, after a few minutes of video it began to report overheating and shortly after it went into lockdown. We are talking about a critical condition for a human being, let alone for the camera. Common only negative note, but just to point out something, in switching from video to photo you have to do a combination of 3 buttons (mode-info-select) instead of operating the classic mechanical video-photo selector. It seems like an idiot but in an excited context it annoys a lot. I think it's something solved with the MK2 As a final consideration I would say that it is a 100% PRO camera intended for an audience decidedly beyond the amateur; I certainly don't deserve it!

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 ...
