Despite very stiff competition from other notable cameras – some of which even rival the R5's 8K capabilities – Canon's powerhouse body was the overwhelming favorite, being described as "simply Canon's finest product ever" by the Future Choice Awards panel.
It wasn't just traditional cameras that scooped awards, though, as imaging devices that fit in the pocket are becoming arguably more relevant in the modern world.
However, while the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra (opens in new tab) picked up the award for Best Smartphone overall, the title for Best Smartphone Camera went to the iPhone 13 Pro (opens in new tab) / iPhone 13 Pro Max (opens in new tab).
