Canon EOS R5: 9 new things we’ve learnt about the full-frame mirrorless flagship – Techradar

The big Canon EOS R5 reveal yesterday was a slightly strange one for photography fans we got to see more of the world’s most powerful mirrorless camera, yet it’s one we already knew a lot about thanks to Canon’s previous teasers. So what new things did we learn?
There were the obvious ones, like its price and release date ($3,899 / £4,199 / AU$6,899 with an on-sale date of July 30, in case you’re wondering). And the fact that it’ll soon be joined by a more affordable sibling called the Canon EOS R6.

So we’ve rounded up all of these intriguing, below-the-surface details in one handy place here are nine new things we’ve learnt about the Canon EOS R5 from its big reveal yesterday and our brief hands-on time with the full-frame camera.
