EOS R5 – The BEST Bird Photography Camera EVER?

The Canon EOS R5 is finally here! Long-awaited and with some amazing specs on paper. So will it be an overheating mess or the best bird photography camera ever?
Can it deliver in the field and does the overheating affect stills? I have taken many thousand images with this camera thus far and want to share my first impressions with you. Some of the features are simply mind-blowing and will make anyone a better bird photographer! I have never been a big birds in flight photographer, but with this camera, I am a master!

I will make a separate video about the settings I have found to be the best and will make a comparison video to my 5D Mark IV soon as well.

Have you ordered a R5, are you gonna order one? Would love to hear your thoughts and questions in the comments

Just to be clear, I bought this camera and this is in no way a sponsored video, just my first and honest impressions. Because Melbourne is in a lockdown, my ability to travel anywhere has been limited.

Let me help you to take YOUR IMAGES to the NEXT LEVEL!
