Canon releases the EOS R5 high-end mirrorless and R6
camera released
Canon has a massive release today of the high-end 45Mp EOS R5 mirrorless camera and also unveiling its sibling, the 20Mp EOS R6 the R6 is has a very similar sensor to the Canon 1d Mk3 but with a different low pass filter.
The R6 we fill is more the new modern version of the Canon DSLR 7d mk II on how well the shutter works for sport images and also low light performance but the R6 being full frame will give much better low light performance than the 7dmk2 as this was 1.6 crop sensor.
We feel the R6 is the best choice for budget film makers wanting a camera for photo and well as video and this camera also has 2 sd universal cards meaning cheaper than the express card. as the Canon EOS R5 has 1 express card same one that 1dx mk3 use and also one normal card slot for sd universal card.
The Canon R5 also brings 8K yes you heard that right 8K
You maybe wondering why 8K
Well 8K can be used to crop in to images so you can get more zoom i.e if you was shooting sports or wildlife and may need that extra reach you can crop in in post and get more image resolution.
Also it will enable you do film video and take still photos out at least 35mb per Tiff file which is amazing
Both Canon R5 and R6 will take the same battery from Canon 5dmk2 5dmk3 5dmk4 and Canon 7dmk2 canon 6d canon 6dmk2 if you own any of them cameras then you can still use same battery and charger.
There is new battery available for this camera which has technology in the new battery so it is more a smarter battery.
Canon R5 and R6 has mechanical shutter noise and also electronic shutter is silent. mechanical shutter will be best to use for sports.
Canon R5 45 megapixels
Canon R6 20 megapixels
IBS in both R5 and R6
What is IBS ?
In Built Stabilisation
If you have Canon IS lens then you can get Dual IS
Have a lens without IS then you use the In Built Stabilisation
In Built Stabilisation will help a lot when you can’t take a tripod with you.
Stabilization
Both cameras feature new 5-axis In-Body Image Stabilisation (IBIS) which comes in very handy for handheld shooting and low shutter speeds. Canon claims their IBIS is the world’s best image stabilization among all interchangeable-lens digital cameras. From their testing, it can compensate up to 8.0 stops.
The IBIS has been designed to work collaboratively with the IS system of RF and EF lenses to further enhance the stabilization, but it will, of course, stabilize non-stabilized lenses and vintage lenses as well.

Autofocus
We all know Canon’s great Dual Pixel autofocus system. Both new cameras support the next generation Dual Pixel CMOS AF II which, according to Canon, further improves the focus speed and reliability. The autofocus should also work better in low light – the EOS R5 can focus in light levels as low as -6EV and EOS R6 even as low as -6.5EV (both tested for still photo shooting).
he autofocus can also track objects. The iTR AF X AF system ensures subjects are kept sharp even when moving unpredictably with a shallow depth of field. Even if a person turns away for a moment, their head continues to be tracked. It recognizes faces and eyes of humans, and now includes cats, dogs, and birds in both still and movie modes.
Connectivity
The cameras offer built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Both EOS R5 (5Ghz Wi-Fi) and EOS R6 (2.4Ghz Wi-Fi) can be connected to a smartphone and networks allowing high-speed file sharing and FTP/FTPS transfer. They can also be remotely controlled using the Camera Connect and EOS Utility apps, tethered to a PC or Mac via Wi-Fi or high-speed USB 3.1 Gen 2.
New Battery Pack and Battery Grip
Canon also announced a new type of battery pack – LP-E6NH. It offers the same form factor as the LP-E6 or LP-E6N, but there is a 14% more capacity with 2130mAh.
The new BG-R10 battery grip is available for both EOS R5 and R6. It can hold two batteries (LP-E6/N/NH) and also offers duplicate controls for easier vertical shooting.
Last but not least, the WFT-R10 is a battery grip style Wi-Fi transmitter with 2×2 MIMO antennas for faster and longer-range transmission – compatible with EOS R5. WFT-R10 also features enhanced network processing enabling SFTP via Wi-Fi and includes a gigabyte speed via the ethernet port.
Four telephoto lenses
Canon 100-500mm L RF this is similar to the popular Canon 100-400mm Mk2 IS how ever this new one is 100mm more and also lighter lens.
Canon 85mm F2.0 reasonable priced for wedding photographer or portrait photographer or even a Marco photographer
Canon 600mm F11
Canon 800mm F11
Theses lenses are designed for there mirrorless system as they are not EF
Also 2 RF lens convertors to get more range on compatible lenses which one is the Canon 100-500mm
1.4x convertor example if the lens is F2.8 then it would make it F4 lens
2x convertor example if the lens is F2.8 then it would make it F5.6 lens
Theses are good to get if you need more zoom range on a compatible lens.
