Canon made headlines with the launch of the EOS R5, thanks to its speed, precision and the promise of 8K video. Well, we know how that last bit turned out, but the Japanese camera maker has, again, made headlines with its AI-based in-camera editing features on the Canon EOS R5 Mark II and the EOS R1.

On paper, the Image Upscaling and Neural Network Noise Reduction options sound fantastic. The good news is that they do exactly what it says on the tin in real-world use as well. However, the upscaling feature can prove to be a little bit of an annoyance for some photographers in the field.
