Canon R5 Mirrorless Camera Sample Images

Here's a collection of sample photos I've taken with the Canon R5 mirrorless camera to give a sense of how it performs in everyday shooting conditions.

The Canon EOS R5 is in Canon’s new R lineup of mirrorless cameras. It has a 45-megapixel full-frame sensor, up to 12 frames per second mechanical shutter (and 20 fps electronic shutter), in-camera 5-axis image stabilization, and a bunch of technological tools to help squeeze the best image quality out of it. It also shoots up to 8K30 video, although I’ve mainly be using it for shooting stills.

Here’s a collection of photos I’ve taken with the R5 to give a sense of its stills performance under everyday shooting conditions. Under lockdown conditions, I haven’t been able to get out and about and shoot with as much variety as I’d like. But I hope these still provide something useful for anyone curious about the stills capabilities of this camera.

Most of these were originally shot in RAW, using Canon’s newish CR3 format, which is the default on the R5. It’s a compressed RAW format, but it does so with impressive new compression technology that results in much smaller files with essentially (or even, actually) imperceptible impact on image quality. I routinely turn off in-camera image compression for most of my shooting, but for the purposes here I wanted to leave it on the default setting. So far, I’ve come across now downside to using CR3.

These were processed in Lightroom Classic, generally with only light processing of the RAWs.

News & Deals

With the holidays fast approaching, there’s some great deals on photography gear and services available. I’ve put together a roundup of Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2020 Photography Deals. It’s a running list as new deals are announced, so be sure to check back.

Canon announces new EOS Rebel T8i DSLR. Canon has announced their new T8i DSLR. 24MP APS-C cropped CMOS sensor, 4K24 video, and updated image processing and detection systems. It’s available for preorder from B&H Photo.

New Firmware for the Ricoh GR III. Ricoh has release firmware v1.31 for the GR III. Release notes are: “Corrected — When shooting with the multiple exposure, in rare cases the live view may not display correctly. Improved stability for general performance.” You can download it here.

New Canon 1D X Mark III Pro DSLR Announced. Canon has announced their new flagship model of pro DSLR, the 1D X Mark III. They’re sticking with a 20.1MP CMOS sensor, but it’s a new and improved version and boasts an incredible native ISO range of ISO 100 to ISO 102400 and an extended range that goes up to a jaw-dropping ISO 819200. With revamped autofocus, a new image processor, and all sorts of other bells and whistles, it’s no wonder that Canon is billing it as “The Ultimate EOS.”

New Manfrotto Pro Rugged Memory Cards. Manfrotto, an Italian probably best known for their tripods and studio accessories, has launched a new Pro Rugged range of high-end SD, microSD, and CompactFlash cards. While they don’t have a huge selection of sizes and speeds, the cards are aiming for very fast cards that can put up with rugged demands. For instance, they claim that their V90 rated SD cards can withstand three times the force (20kg / 45 lbs) of a regular SD card. I’ve ordered some to run through my speed tests.

New Sony Alpha a7 firmware released. A firmware update for the Sony a7R IV now lets you control external Sony flashes from the camera’s own menu system. Up to 15 flashes in five groups can be controlled via the camera. It also applies to the a7R III and a7 III.
