"Simply Canon's finest product ever", the Canon EOS R5 is named Best Camera by DCW, TechRadar, T3 in Future Tech Awards
The Canon EOS R5 has been named Best Camera as part of the Future Tech Awards – a collaboration across technology sites published by Future Publishing, including Digital Camera World, TechRadar, T3, Tom's Guide, iMore and Android Central.
Part of the Future Tech Awards, announced during CES 2022, includes the Future Choice Awards, where the winners were nominated and chosen by leading experts across the technology fields. And the Canon EOS R5 was ranked as the Best Camera thanks to its ferocious specs and performance.
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.

Scooping the Best Creative Software Suite award was Wondershare, for Filmora – among the best video editing software available. And picking up the Best Upcoming Hardware Release award was Rivian for the R1T – one of the most exciting electric vehicles scheduled to launch in the near future.
