Behold! Canon’s Newest Releases – The EOS R1 and EOS R5 MK II

This fine Wednesday morning, the world woke up to Canon’s much-anticipated new releases — the EOS R1 and EOS R5 MK II. The new iterations of these two mirrorless behemoths both have processor, autofocus, and video upgrades.

The R1 is Canon’s flagship and boasts speed and focus but at a higher price tag ($6,299) and a bulkier body.

The R5 MK II is the new release that I really find appealing and think architectural photographers will too. You trade speed for price ($4,299), portability, and resolution here — which is a welcome compromise for most of us folks working on tripods, shooting carefully composed and unhurried stills. A 45mp sensor, upgraded processor, better viewfinder and LCD screen, as well as image stabilization and noise reduction all make this a really interesting upgrade for the beloved R5.

B&H is our camera store of choice over here at APALMANAC, so head on over to their site and get your preorders in! They have a great offer where if you pay with PayBoo card, you save the sales tax which is pretty substantial in this case!
