With the R5 Canon opted for a LCD/button combination when selecting the mode, so you use a dial and look to the mode setting on a screen to confirm. Many purists might miss the tradition mode dial. On the other hand the red record button sits further back and on a slightly lower plane with a button that is less “clicky” and more “springy.” So you know the difference without ever having to look down. M-Fn, for instance, is tiny and sits right where you can easily tap it with your index finger. Each button has a slightly different feeling to it. What Canon does here that is special (though not entire unique) is implements a design that lends itself well to muscle memory. Two of them are smaller ones you won’t likely use often: one to turn on the LCD light and another to its right to lock everything so not accidental changes happen in challenging shooting conditions. 5 buttons in total including the shutter release and mode buttons and a forward dial and a rear dial.
Over on the right side you find the typical array of controls found on most DSLR and mirrorless models. A minimalist philosophy I can appreciate. Canon EOS R5: Best Mirrorless Camera of the YearĪ simple power switch sits on the left of the top plate, nothing more. A long history of digital cameras including the iconic and revolutionary EOS 5D II, and a long line-up of consumer-friendly models including Rebels such as the T2i (an early favorite) and recent EOS models such as the 80D and 90D have proven Canon’s ability to get just about everything right when it comes to the body design. Here, once again, Canon is simply top notch in its approach.

Canon EOS R5: Table of ContentsĮverything feels just right. And you can also capture detailed 4K (and 8K) video, even in Canon’s famed C-Log picture profile if you’re planning on doing advanced color grading during post production. To name but a few.īut if what you’re looking for is a true hybrid mirrorless, meaning a camera body that is equally adept at taking high resolution photos as it is taking high resolution 4K video then the R5 truly delivers the best of worlds. Recent models from Panasonic, Sony, Nikon and Canon have crowded the space and given consumers solid choices from budget friendly options such as the Canon EOS RP (Only $899 USD via Amazon Cyber Monday Deal) all the way up to flagships such as the new Sony a7 IV ($2,998 via Amazon Cyber Monday Deal) and Panasonic SIR ($3,698 via Amazon). No question, there’s plenty of competition in the mirrorless full-frame market. So much so that we just can’t help but call it: the Canon EOS R5 is the best full-frame camera of the year.
