Photographer and educator Matt Granger just got his hands on the new Canon EOS R5 and, trying to ignore all of the chat about overheating, set about comparing it for shooting stills directly with the Sony a7R IV. Check out this short video to get his initial impressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Canon EOS R5 is pretty hard to get ahold of right now, and body-only it will set you back $3,899. The Sony a7R IV, released in September last year, is a few hundred dollars cheaper, offers an extra 16 megapixels (61 over the R5\u2019s 45), and, unlike the Canon, will arrive in a matter of days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Granger\u2019s testing when it comes to low-light performance and image quality seems pretty exhaustive, and you can grab a zip file containing all of his raw files by clicking here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite his best efforts to avoid getting drawn into the ongoing debate about overheating, Granger is \u2014 to his own frustration \u2014 unable to avoid it. The back and forth continues as to whether Canon has been somewhat disingenuous with its marketing of the R5\u2019s video capabilities, but if there\u2019s one advantage to the shortage of R5 units available, it\u2019s that customers have plenty of time to do their research into whether the limitations make the new Canon flagship mirrorless camera the right choice for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
