EOS R5 — Professional Hybrid Shooters, Portrait & Wildlife: A landmark camera — 8K video and 45MP in one body set the standard for what mirrorless could be.
S1R — High-Resolution Landscape, Commercial & Studio Photography: A 47MP full-frame resolution powerhouse with one of the finest EVFs ever made — the S1R rewards careful, deliberate photography.
