TheCanon EOS R5 is a professionalfull-framemirrorless interchangeable-lens camera officially announced byCanon on July 9, 2020[2] alongside the lower-resolutionEOS R6 and various newRF mount lenses. While it is not a direct successor to any of Canon's previous mirrorless cameras, it does have clear improvements and advantages over theEOS R, namely: a newDIGIC X processor and sensor,8K video capture, a newautofocus system, and the ability to take videos with 10-bit colours.[3] The camera is available as body only, or with the Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens.
On July 17, 2024 Canon announced aMark II version, with a newBSI sensor and increased frame rate, among other improvements.
Shortly after the EOS R5's initial announcement, concerns arose about issues ofoverheating while recording video, especially8K video, after short periods of time. In response to users' complaints, Canon issued a media alert addressing these overheating issues, including how long it will take for the camera to overheat at each resolution, why a fan was not included, and how users can prevent the camera from overheating.
According to Canon's reported data, the EOS R5 will begin to overheat after recording for 20 minutes at 8K resolution though the average run time of videos published on social media is 11.7 minutes. A fan was not included to preserve its compact size. Users can delay overheating by toggling on "Overheat Control" in settings, which will adjustresolution andframe rate automatically to prevent overheating.[6][7] Although Canon offered this explanation, users have continued to complain.
Other testers, however, discovered continuous shooting is possible for up to four hours in 4KHQ mode with an external recorder if no memory cards are inserted, the screen is off, and a dummy battery is used. With an actual battery, again overheating can be avoided for the life of the charge of the battery, about one hour and 45 minutes.[8][9]
Canon addressed overheating issues with a modified follow-up model, the Canon EOS R5 C, announced in January 2022 with an intro MSRP of US$4,499 (body only).[10] Intended as a hybrid between the R5 and theEOS C video-oriented line of cameras, the R5 C includes a cooling fan. This allows the camera to shoot video at any resolution indefinitely, at the cost of a higher weight (770 g) and a larger size (142 x 101 x 111 mm).[11] The R5 C also omits in-body image stabilization. It can record in a larger variety of video modes than the base model, and it supports some additional video-oriented features such asfalse color and timecode integration.[12]
