    Sometimes I see Err70 when I use it, but overall it is amazing with my RF 28-70.

    Great leap forward for Canon

    I've had several Canon dslrs over the years. This thing is a significant leap. You can feel safe purchasing canon's mirrorless lenses too, the optics are superb and I'm sure they will hold up well on higher megapixel bodies in the future.

    The Canon R5 really lives up to the hype! It is well-made and durable, intuitive, and a superb photographic tool. Being a nature photographer, I have been very impressed by the animal eye focus. I can’t wait until spring to really take it into the field.

    This thing is absolute magic. It's fast, quiet, and perfect. All the features are useful and it works on all levels from easy to manual. If you're thinking of joining the mirrorless revolution, this is the way to do it. Well done Canon.

    I love my Canon R5. The facial recognition focal points are next level, and the size of raw files are incredible.

    We have dived into the world of mirrorless as wedding photographers and I can say with full confidence, it will be hard to step back. Great camera body that still has the feel of a professional camera.

    I’ve used every camera system and I’ve ended up here. Having the processor of a more expensive camera (1DXMKIII) coupled with a 45mp sensor that shoots as fast as sports cameras makes this thing a beast.

    I am very pleased with this new mirror-less design. I love the touch screen. This is a great addition to my 5D Mark III. The lens adapter works very well.

    Had no problems with 8k shooting at all. Shot for 40min+ Did have an issue with 4K shooting though but it might be the card used as it stated that I needed a faster Sd card

    Great camera features for the price. Currently using this and the Canon 5D Mark iv. The R5 is a much better tool for portraits due to eye AF and the swivel screen.

    This was a gray market camera sold to me

    This item was sold by a 3rd party seller and I was unable to register it because it had a Canadian serial number. After calling Canon support, they informed me that it would not be covered under warranty nor could I get it repaired unless I sent it out of the country. They advised me this was a gray market item and to return to Best Buy. I did not have any trouble returning it. Just be aware of these 3rd party sellers.

    Nothing but good things to say about this R5 and the new RF lenses so far. Upgrading to mirrorless was a concern but this camera made the transition easy.

    Defective both camera unit and battery this has been a complete hassle for the Canon company as they don't have a replacement battery. Canon did great with the repair only thing is... I can use my camera because they haven't sent the battery before they have no stock.

    Not sure if my issues are only for the particular unit I bought but if shooting rapidly with a Tamron EF 24-70 g2 I get a lot of "error 70" lockups, but it could be that a UHS-II SD card is needed as I don't have this issue on my R6.
