Canon EOS R5

The Canon EOS R5 was the camera that redefined what was possible from a mirrorless body — the first to offer 8K RAW video and 45MP stills with class-leading dual pixel CMOS AF. A landmark camera that established Canon's credibility in professional mirrorless and remains an outstanding all-rounder years after its release.

GearFrame's Take

A landmark camera — 8K video and 45MP in one body set the standard for what mirrorless could be.
