LIghtning quick autofocus. I'm not a birder, but took some bird shots to try it out using 70-200 F4 EF L on the control ring adapter. Fantastic AF, zeroed in on birds' eyes, jumped to body as they turned, back to eyes when they turned back. Hand-held indoor shots at a museum 1/6 and 1/8 second still tack sharp, fantastic resolution. It's not cheap, but it's a tremendous jump from my 5D MK3.

Remarkable camera. I have "dabbled" in mirrorless, first with the M and more recently with the RP. But this R5 has made me sell my 5Div, and we know what an incredible camera that was. I pretty much only do still photography so cannot comment on any video aspects. But, the autofocus, the IQ and the DR area l a big step forward. I had worried about going from an OVF to an EVF based on prior experiences. That was an unnecessary worry.

So far, so good. Focus is not quite as speedy with my EOS lenses, but still it is much better than my old 5D Mk II. Looking forward to getting my new RF lens in order to maximize its capability.

Photos are very sharp. Appreciate being able to get sharp photos when hand holding using IBIS and lens IS, even longer exposures such as blurring water falls. Great for hiking when the tripod doesn't make the cut into the pack for weight concerns.

An absolute dream! This is the stills camera I have been waiting for. It is so intuitive that I focus more on my photography than fiddling with my camera.

Still learning to use all the new features - but so far, it's magical! It takes me back to my very earliest days of shooting with an SLR with the feeling that there are many new cool things that can be achieved.

This camera was everything I hoped it would be. For dog photography it's a dream come true! Was able to get many more sharp in focus action shots than I'd be able to get with my 5D Mark III. Also the increased rapid fire of this camera was awesome. The battery did seem to get used up quicker than my current camera, but I can live with that. Loved this camera so much I went ahead and bought one!
