What’s new and how it compares
 |
The EOS R5 has a lot of new features inside and out. We’ll go through what they are, and why they matter, here. |
Body, controls and handling
 |
Canon has banished the EOS R’s touchbar and put a very nice AF joystick in its place. Overall, the R5 is a really pleasant camera to use. |
