Re: Biggest challenges with R5 (to 5D line previous owners)
I was one of the lucky ones to get the R5 and grip on release day so have lived with the camera for a few weeks now. I shoot architecture using all the Canon TS-E glass so not a million miles away from landscape and prior to the R5 with Canon 5D and 1D cameras plus the Sony A7rII and A7rIII. The Sony’s felt like a toy at first but the transition to mirrorless was very, very swift as they work so well for this type of photography and the adjustment period was a matter of minutes. I felt myself thinking “wow”, this is how it should always have been done. The advantages of mirrorless meant I always ended up picking the Sony’s before the Canon’s.
Now the R5 has levelled the playing field the Sony’s have gone and I get all the advantages of mirrorless technology but the feel/ergonomics of a Canon camera. I can’t think as a landscape shooter there is honestly anything to fear or worry about that you will miss from a 5D other than the money in the bank
- The viewfinder is amazing for low light, histogram, digital level, manual focus guides, image review in bright light to name just a few.
- R5 feels just as robust and my other Canon’s and durability has never crossed my mind.
- Carry more batteries
- The cost of entry to the system is the only disadvantage over the 5D
