Canon says that the Full Frame Mirrorless EOS R5 is being developed with customer feedback and market needs in mind, and features 'unrivalled' high-speed, high-resolution 8K video and 'unparalleled' image stabilisation.

"The EOS R5 offers a step-change in performance, with an incredible 12fps using the mechanical shutter and the electronic shutter offering 20fps. The camera’s combination of speed and resolution will set new standards, to make mirrorless an ideal choice for everyone from wedding to wildlife photographers," Canon.

The EOS R5 will feature a newly developed, in-camera image stabilisation system which will work in combination with the lens stabilisation system. 

On the Canon website, it says the Canon EOS R5 will offer 20fps electronic shutter or 12fps mechanically and images/video will be transferable via built-in wi-fi where Auto Image Transfer can be used which you can use to shoot and edit on the move or download automatically to your home computer.

Dual card slots are built-in and the camera is compatible with the EF lens range when used in conjunction with an RF-EF adapter.
