Reviews Canon EOS R5 and R6: Configure powerful video

5D is a professional DSLR, then to Mirrorless Canon decided to name the high-end model R5

This series still inherits the design advantages of the EOS R, with a highly-developed grip that gives a firm grip. Conversely, the machine will also be heavier than many other mirrorless models, which is something we have to accept!

In addition to the common control buttons such as shutter, dial, M-Fn, mode dial . we have a small E-ink screen to display basic parameters, similar to DSLR before

It has an upgrade in terms of storage, when there are 2 card ports for simultaneous shooting (back-up) to help prevent data loss. We have 1 CFExpress port and 1 SD UHS-II to withstand the large amount of data that the machine generates (will be discussed below).

The connection ports of the machine include HDMI, USB Type-C, mic and separate headphone ports and flash port. We can also connect the device to mobile devices with Wifi, integrated Bluetooth, in which Wifi has both 5GHz band.

The main screen of the machine has a resolution of 2.1 million points, with the ability to rotate in all directions for convenient shooting and recording in difficult angles

This is probably the highest quality electronic viewfinder on the market, with a resolution of up to 5.76 million points, 120Hz refresh rate!

Giving up on the "odd" 2-way control bar of the EOS R, the EOS R5 returns to the JoyStick joystick that is so familiar to DSLR camera users

It uses a new LP-E6NH battery, with a capacity increase of about 15% compared to LP-E6

In terms of configuration, the device possesses a 45MP Full-frame sensor with Dual Pixel CMOS AF II (which can capture faces and eyes of animals), 8-axis 5-axis stabilization, 8K RAW movie recording at 30fps, 10-bit 4: 2: 2 and 4K at speeds up to 120fps. These are all very impressive parameters, most notably the 8K30p video recording, which Canon says has never been applied on a compact camera like this.

Higher numbers are available, but the lower-end model is the EOS R6, following the previous Canon 6D, 6D Mark II series.

The first difference we can see is that the device has omitted the screen showing the additional parameters at the top, instead of the shooting mode dial.

The EOS R6 has also been upgraded to 2 card ports, but both are SD UHS-II but not CFExpress

The ports on the left side of the device are no different from the EOS R5, except that the Flash port has been replaced with an external shutter button. It also integrates both Wifi and Bluetooth to connect wirelessly

The overall design of the back of the machine is not different from the EOS R5, also with the new Joystick joystick and familiar buttons, but there have been cut points to reduce the price.

Accordingly, the screen will only have a resolution of 1.62 million .

. with the viewfinder also reduced to 3.69 million points.

The 'heart' of the EOS R6 is a 20.1MP Full-frame sensor with the same Dual Pixel CMOS AF II focusing system and 5-axis stabilization similar to the R5. Movie recording capability has been reduced to 4K60p, 1080 / 120p slow motion.
