Canon EOS R5

Introduction

a long awaited full frame mirrorless camera from Canon which will compete against the Sony a7R IV
this is Canon's 1st camera ever (along with the Canon EOS R6 released at the same time) which has ALL the major features that I care about in a camera:
- relatively light
- excellent weathersealing
- sensor-shift image stabilisation
- minimal rolling shutter with usable video and electronic fast burst modes of 20fps with C-AF
- accurate and reliable eye tracking AF covering most of the frame
- rear swivel touch screen
- 4K video
- 1080HD video to 120p
- excellent ergonomics
- plus they have added a few nice extras which are expected in 2020:
  - USB-C charging
  - high resolution EVF albeit at the expense of battery life and price
  - Bluetooth, WiFi
  - animal eye AF tracking
- plus some high end features:
  - 4K to 120p
  - 8K 30p video with option of RAW video
  - optional holder with ethernet port
