Launched back in July 2020, the Canon EOS R5 has only recently been superseded by the EOS R5 Mark II, and even then only in certain key areas.
No camera in recent memory received or, dare we say it, deserved this amount of hype. The original Canon EOS R5 was and still is a powerhouse performer in every possible respect, even today; its 8K video outclasses many of the best cinema cameras, its shooting speed puts it on par with the best cameras for sport, and its 45MP sensor outmuscles all but a few of the best mirrorless cameras, and its 8-stop in-body image stabilization is only 0.5 stops behind the 8.5-stop compensation in the EOS R5 Mark II.
