Canon Australia announced the Canon EOS R5 and Canon EOSR6, two new full-frame mirrorless camera additions to advance Canon’s EOS R System built on the RF Mount. The pro-level EOS R5 delivers 45 megapixel stills at up to 20fpsvi and is the first full-frame mirrorless ever to record 8K RAW up to 29.97fps internally and 4K to 120pvii. The EOS R6 is perfect for enthusiasts and professionals moving to mirrorless and looking for greater capabilities, capturing 20.1 megapixel stills up to 20fpsviii, stunning 4K video up to 60p and Full HD at up to 120p. The EOS R5 and EOS R6ix are both confidently supported by Canon Australia’s local 5-year warranty and are available for pre-order from 9th July 2020x. Redefining professional mirrorless Built on Canon’s EOS philosophy of high speed, high image quality, and easy to use cameras, the EOS R5 and EOS R6 continues Canon’s commitment to delivering choice and quality imaging tools to consumers at all skill levels. Packed with the most cutting-edge imaging technology currently available, the EOS R5 and EOS R6 are designed to drive the consumer and professional imaging industry forward by enabling new workflows, and imaging standards for Australians to capture the stories that matter most in the most efficient and consistent way possible. Next-generation CMOS sensor technology combined with high-performance RF lenses enable users to capture new levels of detail at the best possible speeds in the industry. EOS R5 and EOS R6 can shoot up to 20fpsxii xiii with the electronic shutter in near silence with full auto exposure (AE) and autofocus (AF) tracking. Users can be confident capturing action, both stills and video, in exceptional quality in any location without disturbing subjects. The mechanical and electronic first curtain shutter also delivers high-speed continuous shooting up to 12fps. For the first time in the EOS series, EOS R5 and EOS R6 incorporate 5-axis In-Body Image Stabilizer. Designed to work collaboratively with the Optical IS system of RF lenses, the solution has been engineered so that RF lenses and the sensor work to correct pitch and yaw with the sensor correcting X-Y and roll movements. This intelligent stabilisation system corrects at up to an incredible 8-stops – the world’s best image stabilisation – for new levels of creativity when shooting handheld at slow shutter speeds or filming without a tripod. The wide diameter of the RF Mount ensures that light continues to reach the entire sensor all the way to the corners, even with the sensor movement introduced with In-Body Image Stabilizer. The 54mm diameter enables RF lenses to be designed with larger image circles facilitating the greater movement of the body IS system, meaning some non-IS RF lenses such as the RF 85mm F1.2L USM or RF 28-70mm F2L USM can also achieve up to 8-stops of image stabilisation. Users of EF lenses will experience enhanced IS performance as in-body IS works with IS enabled EF lenses to provide roll and X-Y correction. Even select non-IS EF lenses will benefit from the 5-axis correction provided by EOS R5 and EOS R6 in-body IS.   Keeping it sharp DIGIC X processor technology at the core of EOS R5 and EOS R6 – the same technology in the coveted EOS-1D X Mark III – supports renowned next-generation Dual Pixel CMOS AF II pushing speed and reliability to unmatched levels. Boasting the world’s fastest AF focusing speed among interchangeable lens digital mirrorless cameras, EOS R5 focuses in as little as 0.05 seconds and can focus in light levels as low as -6EVxix. EOS R6 is the first EOS camera to offer a minimum EV for AF of - 6.5EVxx. The high precision AF is effective in even poorly lit or low contrast shooting conditions. The iTR AF X AF system has been programmed using algorithms and face/eye detection mode ensures subjects are kept sharp even when moving unpredictably with a shallow depth of field. Even if a person turns away for a moment, their head and body continue to be tracked. Advanced tracking enabled by algorithms recognises faces and eyes of humans, and now includes cats, dogs and birds in both still and movie modes. EOS R5 and EOS R6 maintain high-precision focus and tracking regardless of the subject’s size, posture, orientation or direction of the face helping users to confidently shoot even the most unpredictable subjects. Intelligent connection With built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, the EOS R5 (5Ghz Wi-Fi) and EOS R6 (2.4Ghz Wi-Fi)xxi can be easily connected to a smartphone and networks allowing high-speed file sharing and FTP/FTPS transfer. This functionality also allows for the cameras to be remotely controlled using the Camera Connect and EOS Utility apps, tethered to a PC or Mac via Wi-Fi or high-speed USB 3.1 Gen 2. With content delivery just as important as image and video capture, the EOS R5 and EOS R6 support the automatic transfer of image files from the device to the image.canon cloud platform to easily share and print images or integrate with Google Photos or Adobe Cloud workflows.   EOS R5: No compromise. Revolutionary imaging innovation. For the first time, Canon has given the iconic EOS 5-Series name to the EOS R Mirrorless System with the EOS R5. The EOS R5 is an unprecedented leap forward in mirrorless technology and offers the highest resolution EOS camera ever. The DIGIC X processor, CMOS sensor and RF lenses combine to advance all aspects of image quality to achieve a resolution up to 45 megapixels. Achieving up to 100% AF coverage, capable of 5,940 user-selectable AF points and features an ISO range of 100- 51,200, EOS R5 keeps subjects razor-sharp even in extreme low light conditions. Dual-card slots support a high-speed CFexpress and SD UHS-II card, housed in a weather-resistant magnesium body. Professionals can capture stunning 8K 12-bit RAW video internally using the full width of the sensor for a truly cinematic result with continuous eye and face AF tracking for people and animals. The EOS R5 also sets new standards for videographers shooting in 4Kxxv. Capture 4K DCI (full-frame) and 4K UHD at frame rates up to 120p (119.88fps) with 4:2:2 10-bit quality, enabling high resolution, smooth slow-motion with full AF performance. Users seeking the very highest 4K quality can use the 4K HQ mode to reproduce incredible detail at frame rates up to 30pxxvi by internally oversampling 8K footage.
