Auckland, NEW ZEALAND – 21st April 2020: Canon Inc. has today announced further specifications of its highly anticipated EOS R5; the full frame interchangeable lens camera currently in development being built on Canon’s revolutionary EOS R System. Set to redefine the mirrorless category, today’s update confirms the incredible recording capabilities of the EOS R5 including internal 8K RAW up to 29.97fps and suitability with high-end production workflows.
Proving Canon is an innovative industry-leader that pushes the realms of optical technological possibilities, the EOS R5 offers every photographer – not just professionals – features previously seen only in high-end cinema cameras many times its price point and video features no other mirrorless camera on the market offers1. Created as a direct response to growing demand for content creators to shoot both high-quality film and stills, the EOS R5 holds its own in going over and above industry standards and achieving outstanding 8K2. On release in New Zealand, the EOS R5 will also be supported by Canon New Zealand’s 5-year warranty which is above the industry standard .
On the set of high-end productions such as commercials, dramas and documentaries, the EOS R5 is an ideal partner to the likes of Canon’s brand-new EOS C300 Mark III, a next generation modular Cinema EOS System camera launched today. In addition to the EOS R5’s outstanding still photography specifications, which make it ideal for behind the scenes capture, it’s an ideal support filming camera offering:
• 8K RAW – non-cropped, internal recording up to 29.97fps
• Non-cropped, internal recording 8K video capture – up to 29.97fps in 4:2:2 10-bit in Canon Log (H.265) or 4:2:2 10-bit HDR PQ (H.265)
• Non-cropped internal recording 4K video capture – up to 119.88fps in 4:2:2 10-bit in Canon Log (H.265) or 4:2:2 10-bit HDR PQ (H.265)
• 4:2:2 10-bit in Canon Log or 4:2:2 10-bit HDR PQ output via HDMI at 4K 59.94fps
• Dual Pixel AF is available in all video modes at all resolutions and frame rates
• 5-axis In Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) and lens based Optical Image Stabilizer can be combined

Brad Gibbons, General Manager – Consumer Imaging and Services, Canon New Zealand said: “Today we are excited to release further specifications of the revolutionary EOS R5. This is a camera that will enable content creators to go further than they ever expected. Its video capabilities alone are over and above anything available in a mirrorless camera before and will be accessible to creators broadly, both inside and outside the realm of professionals.”
