Best camera I ever owned

I have had this camera for a month now, after a long wait to get it. I am not disappointed.
Best camera I ever owned which included the 40D, 7D and the 5D III.
For what id do, mostly nature, it is perfect.

This is by far the most technically advanced camera I have ever used. I love it! I shoot stills primarily, so I can't really comment about the video capabilities or issues. For my work, everything about this camera is absolutely amazing!

Love the R5 but i need this feature
on August 18, 2021

The R5 is a complete game changer. It's definitely a favorite. However, there's something else I need that I'm sure Canon could make happen with a simple update. I’d love the ability to change to crop 1.6 mode with just one button click while shooting photo. Currently we have to go into the menu to do it and can’t remap a button to do that one thing. The closest to making it one button is adding the aspect ratio/crop to a favorite menu, which is still an inconvenience. If we could have one button switching for this mode it would be super helpful for weddings when we are on the move and don’t have time to switch lenses or go into the menu. I can imagine it would be super helpful in other cases where photographers need to switch quickly. Thanks in advance.

30 minute record limit

The canon R5 is a great camera no doubt. i want to add my voice to the many asking for the 30minute record limit to be removed. This is hindering the capability of such a great camera. Canon please remove the 30 minute record limit in video

Ergonomic Issues. Suggest you try before you buy.

Ergonomic issues. If this is going to be your only body, and/or you primarily shoot hand holding, please try it before you buy it. Canon, IMHO, fixed something that wasnt broken, the body shape. Make sure you check out the camera grip with your usual lenses while shooting a bit. Canon's new grip will probably not be a hinderance to those using a tripod or video cage. Canon significantly changed the grip portion of the body on both R5 and R6 compared to Canon DSLR full frame bodies. I have an R5 and R6 and they both cause my hand to cramp while shooting. Instead of the grip fitting in my hand as it does on my 5 Canon DSLR bodies, it is necessary to pinch the R5/R6 grip with finger tips to hold onto the body. The new grip shape does not fit into my hand resulting in cramps after a while. This body style change also resulted in the trigger being in a little different, to me awkward, position. As soon as I put these bodies away and continue shooting with DSLR bodies, instant right hand relief. Yes, I did pick up a battery grip in an attempt to make these cameras more comfortable to use. The battery grip does contribute some relief because it is added to the bottom which allows my right hand to twist a little so I am not needing to pinch as much. If you have a small dainty hand, or shorter fingers, the shape of the grip may not be such a problem or if you shoot a very light lens like the nifty fifty. Since I only shoot stills there is no comment on video. Still picture IQ and focusing system makes both the R5 and R6 keepers for me despite the issues with the body, but I do have to bring along a DSLR body for substitution when on longer shoots to give my hand some relief.
