I upgraded from a Canon 5D Mark III. The camera is lighter, same handling and quieter. The reticulating screen is nice and protects the screen in transit. The readout of settings in vertical shooting adjusts and is easier to read. Things to note: I have small hands and the grip works for me. People with larger hands may want to test-drive or get the battery grip. There is no manual with the camera like the 5D - you need to download or buy one. The camera uses the C3 format and you need to insure you can convert this type of raw file. I use a standalone version of Lightroom and Adobe providers a converter. I use the adapter for my previous canon lenses - adds a little wait and length to lens. I appreciate the additional pixels. I am happy with my purchase.

Best of the best for various reasons: Great image quality at all but the top two ISO settings, performs better in low-light compared to any competition in its class or price range, actually rarely overheats if recording 8K video (which is almost as good as those RED or Phase One Medium Format that cost as much as a luxury automobile), average battery life, and the autofocus and image stabilization are outstanding. Almost nothing to complain about. Coming from the frustrating drawbacks over the years with Panasonic, Sony, and Fujifilm, even the cheapest entry-level Canon EOS Rebel outperforms some midrange Mirrorless and most flagship smartphones. Do not use old lenses from Canon because of the vignetting and fringing issues. You can get amazing results with astrophotography, absolutely amazing how even an inexpensive long zoom lens can get stunning details of the Moon. Five stars, possibly the best Canon Full Frame camera yet. The file sizes are gigantic, though, but hey, even older memory cards can be written 2-3 times faster than their rated bits per second due to the DIGIC processor (like an Intel Xeon, which is far from cheap). About 15 seconds of 8K video is 1 gigabyte. Same can be said for 11 RAW stills at the 45 MP, 12-bit uncompressed. You cannot go wrong with this good boy!Read full review

A great mirrorless camera. The images are crisp and clear. The dynamic range is spectacular. I switched from a 6D to this and had to get used to some of the differences but it was easy to make the switch. The 45mp full frame sensor provides larger files but the images are well worth it. I have used it with my Sigma Full Frame, Canon EF mount lenses with the Canon EF to RF adapter with the control ring. I set the control ring to handle the aperture like older film cameras. I have had no issues with the lenses working with this camera. I am not a video shooter so I cannot comment on the cameras video ability.

I wanted to get the R5 mkll but 4300 + tax was too much. These guys had a bunch of R5's from "combo kits" that were pieced out w/ the R5's remaining. $2450 for a great camera. The dynamic range is impressive. I found some youtube videos that helped w/ the custom button set ups and getting the most from the focusing options. The camera came right away and is new. This retired photographer is enjoying the fun of shooting mirrorless.

- mirrorless is a game changer compared to DSLR as you see your exposure results before you are actually taking the shot. Impressed with the concept that applies to likely all mirrorless cameras. R5 is my first. It’s not a beginner camera but it makes photography so much easier and straightforward as you can focus on composition more - great image quality - large files allow cropping - works with my EF lenses - fast / AF is amazing - intuitive for canon users - good handling and haptic - no experience with video so far- so this is for stills - only minus: price is generally high for a camera in absolute $ and compared to direct competing Sony bodies and also for new RF glass - 0% financing special offer from PayPal for 2 years was too good to pass on

Canon R5 -anyone buying this cam knows the complexities of setting up a DSLR--advise looking at some Youtube videos to set the cam up for the type of shooting you will be doing! And its only easy to use once you have it dialed in!

Camera is a great upgrade to 5d mark 3. Auto focus eye tracking is a game changer an new way to shoot. The silent mode is a huge improvement if you do event photography in quiet settings. Image sharpness is amazing

The performance is OK but the price is a bit expensive. It is not good enough for SONY to convert old manual lenses, SONY's [Lens Compensation] APP is very useful, I hope to learn from it.

If you're used to using the canon UI menu system it's not hard to learn. I'm coming from a 5DIII and as far as operating the R5 they are similar. But the IQ and AF systems are WAY superior to the 5DIII, I couldn't be happier. I don't shoot much video so I haven't had any problems with the reported heat issues. Make sure you get a fast CFexpress card to keep up if you shoot HDR or high speed to reduce buffering. I started with the R6 which is a nice camera, but returned it to get the R5 and I'm very happy with my decision.
