With the Canon EOS R5 Mark II now on sale, we have seen some tantalizing offers on the older EOS R5 over the summer, but we have just noticed that the price had dropped once again. Park Cameras is offering this full-frame mirrorless body for just £2,999, which we reckon is the best price we have ever seen it at, and about a tenner lower than the lowest previous price that was offered briefly about a month ago.
Sporting a 45MP CMOS sensor, the Canon EOS R5 delivers remarkable features such as 8K RAW video recording, a swift 12-fps continuous shooting with its mechanical shutter, and marks a milestone as the inaugural EOS camera to incorporate Canon's 5-axis sensor-shift image stabilization.
Going beyond mere pixel count, this sensor harmonizes with the advanced DIGIC X image processor, introducing a new era of Dual Pixel CMOS AF. With a staggering 1,053 selectable points spanning the entire field of view, this system ensures rapid, seamless, and intelligent focusing performance.
Moreover, it integrates Deep Learning technology, enhancing subject tracking and enabling precise detection of eyes, faces, and heads, whether human or animal, making this the perfect camera for those shooting sports, wildlife, or portraits.
However, if a mere 45 megapixels isn't enough then you can opt for an even higher MP count of a staggering 400 megapixels, thanks to the IBIS High-Resolution shot mode you can create 400 megapixels files in-camera, without the need for external software. This feature can be used for some specific situations when a high-resolution file with fine detail is required such as art reproduction.
I LOVE the Canon EOS R5 Mk II… but I'm not upgrading my R5, for one simple reason
