Product details
No matter what you are photographing, the Canon EOS R5 opens up new creative possibilities: 45-megapixel photos, up to 20 frames per second with electronic shutters and 12 frames per second with mechanical shutters, as well as 8K RAW videos in full-frame. Particularly impressive for portrait, travel, and wedding photographers is the AF system, developed using deep learning AI, which accurately detects and tracks heads, faces, and eyes.
Animals such as cats, dogs, and birds are also captured perfectly, making it ideal for wildlife photography. Slow-motion shots in 4K at up to 120 frames per second and the internal 5-axis image stabilizer provide stunning footage, even in low light thanks to an ISO of 51,200. Wireless uploads to FTP servers or mobile devices simplify the workflow.
With two card slots (CFexpress and SD UHS-II) and image processing elevated to a new level by the DIGIC X processor, the EOS R5 is perfect for demanding photo and video tasks. Whether landscapes, sports, or wildlife, the camera is your perfect companion.

As we have not yet been able to test the camera extensively due to time constraints, our summary is limited to the image quality for the time being. And this is positive. Although the R5 Il is weaker in the JPEG setting at ISO 3200 and ISO 6400, it is generally better than the R5 at higher sensitivities, albeit without any significant qualitative leaps...
With the SL3, Leica has created a very good full-frame camera that impresses above all with its high resolution. The autofocus still lags behind the competition from Canon, Nikon and Sony; firmware updates could bring improvements here. The best competitor models are also ahead in terms of continuous shooting and some features...

With a price range from 890 to 8000 euros, there should be something to suit almost every budget. High-resolution medium and full-frame cameras offer top performance in terms of image quality. Robust, fast and excellently equipped cameras can also be found in the APS-C and MFT range...

Canon's R5 benefits from a gentler image tuning through RAW first. Fine detail improves especially in structures with high frequencies and low contrasts and more at higher sensitivities. Higher noise levels at ISO 1600 are well controlled so that the images find a good balance. Even with more denoising, RAWs offer advantages over JPEGs from the camera.
