Courtesy of DC.Watch, here is a set of images of the upcoming Canon EOS R5.
The development of the Canon EOS R5 has already been announced, we expect Canon to release it before the Summer Olympics. All we know so far about the EOS R5 is listed here.
Canon’s EOS R5 press release can be read after the break.
Here is a Canon EOS Ra review. The Canon EOS Ra is a special EOS R camera dedicated to astrophotography.
What sets the EOS Ra apart? The Canon EOS Ra has approximately four times the transmittance of hydrogen-alpha light (656 nm) as the EOS R (see the press release here). Photographs of subjects that reflect a lot of infrared light will therefore appear redder than they actually are.
The Phoblographer posted their full Canon EOS Ra review. From their conclusion:
The Canon EOS Ra is a mighty fine camera. The build quality is fantastic, overall image quality is excellent, the camera is weather-sealed, has a wonderful LCD and EVF, and the images that come from the camera during daytime use are great too.
[…] The Canon EOS Ra is a serious piece of kit. It has been designed for photographers who are passionate about astrophotography, more specifically, deep space photography. If you plan on getting a telescope to attach the EOS Ra to, or if you already own one and the required T-adapters and mounts, you will get the most out of it. If you are just going to do regular wide-angle astrophotography, though, you’re better off looking elsewhere because the specialized Ha filter will be lost on you.

While the Canon EOS Ra is not the best tool to take pictures in daylight, it delivers “surprisingly great image quality when set to daytime white balance“.

Here is a Canon EOS R5 rumor that will make happy a lot of people. Few things are heating up camera discussions as the number of card slots.
The upcoming Canon EOS R5, already announced development-wise (see at the end of the post), is rumored to come with two card slots:
Not really a surprise. Given how feature-packed the EOs R5 is, it’s rather to espect it will have two card slots. No discussion here.

Stay tuned for the next Canon EOS R5 rumor.

Here is another Canon patent application dealing with a lens for the Canon EOS R full frame mirrorless system.
Canon patent application P2020-30251A (Japan) discusses optical formulas for a 13-21mm f/2.8 lens for a full frame mirrorless camera system, i.e. for the EOS R system.
This might well be a lens that goes into production, sooner or later.
More Canon patent applications are listed here. Some particularly interesting patent applications we think might get into production are these:
Here is a Samyang RF 14mm f/2.8 review. The Samyang RF 14mm f/2.8 mounts natively on the Canon EOS R system.
Dustin Abbott posted an exhaustive Samyang RF 14mm f/2.8 review. The Samyang RF 14mm f/2.8 is a rather fast wide angle lens for the Canon EOS R full frame mirrorless system.
From Dustin Abbott’s conclusion:
[the Samyang RF 14mm f/2.8 is] not perfect; the extreme corners aren’t super sharp until smaller apertures, and I didn’t feel that the best landscape performance came until F8. Fortunately the wide focal length means that you can still effectively handhold in a lot of lighting conditions as you don’t need a particularly high shutter speed to avoid motion blur even without image stabilization in Canon bodies (thus far). I found that even shooting at 1/30th to 1/50th of a second was sufficient to get reliably sharp results (unless I was particularly cold!), and that’s possible in most lighting conditions. There’s a fair bit of barrel distortion, and definitely some vignette, though all of these are correctable in either camera or post. There’s no question that you can produce some dynamic, intriguing images with this lens, and the fact that you can do it without breaking the bank ($699 USD MSRP) is just icing on the cake. It’s also an intriguing option for video either on a gimbal (light weight and good autofocus help!) or for doing vlogging. By the end of my review period, I had come full circle and appreciated this lens for its many strengths despite having a few shortcomings. If you want a really wide angle of view and can’t afford the pricey Canon RF 15-35mm F2.8L IS, then the Samyang RF 14mm F2.8 might just be the lens for you.
I prefer to read reviews instead of watching videos so I truly recommend you head over to Dustin Abbott’s site, if not for else at least to see some beatiful pictures of a Canadian winter landscape. For those who prefer to watch reviews, the two videos below should suit.
Samyang lenses are also branded Rokinon, depending by geographic location.

Here is a somewhat different Canon EOS R review. Ok, I know, comparing apples with pears. Never the less we think it’s an interesting comparison.
Potato Jet On YouTube compares the Canon EOS R with the Canon EOS C500 Mark II. That’s comparing a $1,800 camera with a $16,000 professional tool for videographers. Apples vs. pears, but…: can the EOS R keep up with the C500 II when it comes to video? Can it be a backup body for videographers? Find out in the video below.
