DPreview reviews the Canon EOS R5

Two of my favorite reviewers took the EOS R5 out and gave it a good review, shot in 286F around the surface temperature of Venus, according to Chris.

(I don't think it was really that hot)

Some notes;

• Best full frame IBIS system that Chris has seen to date.
• IBIS + IS does actually work with EF lenses, around 6 stops of IBIS.
• I think Chris wanted the beer more than low light samples
• Feels like the full resolution is showing up in the EVF
• Autofocus excellent
• Animal AF doesn't work with bear rugs
• Sensor quality excellent - comparable to its peers
• AA filter doesn't seem to have a sharp impact
• fastest scan rate of any of the high-resolution sensor cameras
• 8K is insanely sharp
• 4K 120 is excellent
• 4K HQ - Jordon loves
• 1080P, 4K lineskipped does not overheat
• Fighting the overheating with video
• No video backups
• Still have 29:59 record limit
• No C-Log 2 or 3
• DPAF 2 Autofocus is excellent for video
• IBIS is excellent for video
• Rolling shutter is acceptable
• Jordan feels the video is more a novelty on the R5

Summary;

Photographic wise they loved it, video wise, the overheating is limiting.  If you need a true hybrid camera, this right now is probably not it.
