The flagship Canon EOS R5 is coming. With matrix stabilization and 8K films

The Canon EOS R5 has long been talked about. Today, the Japanese manufacturer officially announced it. And although it does not reveal all the details yet, we know quite a lot. It promises to be impressive.

Canon has confirmed that work is underway on the latest full-frame mirrorless EOS R5 model. This is to be the most advanced Canon EOS R series cameras presented so far. Professional body from the highest shelf. It seems that many of the expectations that have been exchanged so far will be fulfilled.

Stabilized matrix and 8K films

First of all, the Canon EOS R5 will receive a stabilized full frame matrix. Unfortunately, at this stage we don't know anything about its resolution, at least officially. Unofficially, the media argue that the sensor will have a resolution of 40 megapixels. It will also be the first full frame camera of this brand with matrix stabilization. We know, however, that the camera is to offer continuous shooting speed up to 12 fps in mechanical shutter mode and 20 fps in electronic shutter mode.

Initially, I was a bit skeptical about gossip about 8K movies in the new EOS R5, but the producer confirmed this fact. Canon EOS R5 is to offer the possibility of recording 8K movies. This information is also an important premise that suggests that the camera will have a resolution of about 40 Mpix. Native 8K images normally have a resolution of 7680 × 4320 px, which requires a matrix with a resolution of 7680 x 5120.

8K materials have four times higher resolution than 4K. They also give huge possibilities of image framing 8K to 4K or Full HD (while maintaining high quality). However, 8K video is still a big technological burden on the equipment. It requires enormous computing power and may cause overheating or at least strong heating of the camera body. I am very curious how Canon designers will cope with this challenge. And whether by accident 8K movies are not just a slogan, a shell, and the camera will not have restrictions on recording in this resolution, e.g. up to several minutes.

Ergonomic revolution and double memory card slot

In terms of ergonomics, the Canon EOS R5 is a completely different story than its progenitor EOS R. While the new mirrorless camera is less like an older one, it is closer to the refreshed Canon EOS 5D Mark IV at the back. Officially, the manufacturer only states that the Canon EOS R5 will have a double memory card slot. The pictures show that the touch panel has also disappeared, and in its place is a classic joystick. You can also see a large tilt and probably touch screen with the possibility of tilting 180 degrees. There is an upper small display, a mass of buttons and a rear dial that Canon SLRs are famous for. Certainly the Canon EOS R5 will be slightly larger and heavier than the EOS R model, but it may offer better ergonomics.

Fast communication in the new format

Cameras, regardless of whether DSLRs or SLRs, should quickly and easily connect with smartphones to enable smooth photo ripping. Currently, this process can still be a barrier. Although every manufacturer has applications, and the cameras are equipped with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, still connectivity sometimes fails. Canon wants to develop this topic.

Canon EOS R5 will not only enable you to rip photos and videos to a connected smartphone. It will also support a completely new technology for automatic material transfer to the image.canon cloud platform. Automatic transfer is designed to make it easier for users to view recorded images and movies anywhere and on any device.

Canon's retreat from SLRs

It seems that Canon is finally intensively focusing on the development of mirrorless cameras. Their sales go head-to-neck at a two-digit year-to-year rate. We recently wrote about the fact that the Japanese manufacturer will no longer develop SLR lenses . Now Canon EOS R5 will appear in the offer, which is professional high-end equipment. The name in a sense refers to the EOS 5D series of SLRs, which may suggest the level of sophistication of this body.

We are convinced that the introduction of the EOS R5 model will be a huge step forward both for the entire hybrid camera market and for the creators themselves - photographers and filmmakers using imaging technology on a daily basis. The announcement of EOS R5 emphasizes the special importance we attach to the development of the hybrid camera segment, but is also a response to the needs of users expecting more and more possibilities from photo-video technology. Launched in September 2018, the EOS R camera series and a wide portfolio of optically advanced RF lenses were soon expanded to include further camera models - EOS RP and EOS Ra. The flagship model EOS R5 is a natural continuation of this innovative product line - a line that will certainly have a huge impact on the market of professional cameras for a wide range of applications - Richard Shepherd, Pro Product Marketing Senior Manager.

To confirm these words, the manufacturer announced the introduction in 2020 of seven new RF lenses and two converters. At the beginning we can expect a telephoto lens RF 100-500 mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM. Unfortunately, we do not know when the Canon EOS R5 will hit the shelves and at what price. Canon is one of the companies that confirmed its presence at Photokina 2020 in May, so maybe this will be the moment of the official premiere of the new mirrorless one.
