the R6, with both set to their highest ISO in Movie mode for the brightest preview image.įirst, why go mirrorless at all? For astrophotography, the big difference compared to even a high-end DSLR, is how much brighter the “Live View” image is when shooting at night. LIVE VIEW FRAMING This compares the back-of-camera views of the R5 vs. I hope you will find my review useful in helping you make a purchase decision. Here are my extensive results, broken down by various performance criteria.
Since doing so, I have put it through several of my standard tests to see how suitable it is for the demands of astrophotography, both stills and video. So I have now added it to my Canon stable. But the higher resolution of the R5 was still attractive. The R6 has proven to be an able successor to the Sony for me, with the R6’s modest megapixel count and larger pixels making it excellent for low-light video. Over the last year, I sold all my non-Canon cameras, as well as the Canon 6D MkII DSLR ( reviewed here), to consolidate my camera gear to just Canon mirrorless cameras and lenses. I purchased the Canon R6 in late 2021, primarily to use it as a low-light video camera for aurora photography, replacing the Sony a7III I had used for several years and reviewed here. The Ra was discontinued after two years on the market, a lifetime similar to Canon’s previous astronomical “a” models, the 20Da and 60Da. The Ra had a special infra-red cutoff filter in front of the sensor that passed a higher level of visible deep-red light, making it more suitable for deep-sky astrophotography than a standard DSLR or DSLM (mirrorless) camera. Since late 2019 my main camera for all astrophotography has been the Canon Ra, a limited-edition version of the original R, Canon’s first full-frame mirrorless camera that started the R series. The flip-out screen of the R5 (and all recent Canon cameras) requires an L-bracket with a notch in the side (a Small Rig unit is shown here) to accommodate the tilting screen. Live View image is not as bright as in the R6’s Movie mode.Not so suitable for low-light video as the R6.Propensity for thermal-noise hot pixels in shadows.Noise in stills and movies is higher than in the R6.

No magenta edge “amp glow” that the R6 shows.Good top LCD information screen missing in the R6.8K video has its attraction for eclipse photography.Good live view display with ISO boost in Movie mode.ISO invariant sensor performance for good shadow recovery.High resolution with relatively low noise.Close-ups of sub-frames from this shoot with the R5, and also with the R6 and Ra, are used throughout the review. This is a stack of 12 x 5-minute exposures with a Sharpstar 94EDPH refractor at f/4.5 and the Canon R5 at ISO 800, taken as a test of the R5 for deep-sky imaging. It was not so well suited to shooting videos of auroras. Its 8K video capability has a place in shooting the Moon, Sun and solar eclipses.
The Canon R5 proved to be surprisingly low in noise, and has worked very well for nightscape, lunar and deep-sky photography (as shown below), where its high resolution does produce a noticeable improvement to image detail, with minimal penalty from higher noise.
The Canon R5 uses a full-frame sensor offering 45 megapixels, producing images with 8192 x 5464 pixels, and making 8K video possible. Patience! Thanks!Īll images are © 2022 by Alan Dyer/. The blog contains a lot of high-res images, so they may take a while to all load.

NOTE: CLICK orTAP on any image to bring it up full screen for closer inspection. Is the higher noise noticeable? If so, does that make the R5 less than ideal for astrophotography? To find out, I tested an R5 purchased locally in Calgary from The Camera Store in May 2022. Each pixel is only 4.4 microns across, providing higher resolution but risking more noise. Where the R6 has a modest 20-megapixel sensor with relatively large 6.6-micron pixels, the R5 is (at present) Canon’s highest megapixel camera, with 45 megapixels. In a sequel to my popular post from September 2021 where I reviewed the Canon R6 mirrorless camera, here is a similar test of its higher-megapixel companion, the Canon R5. In a format similar to my other popular camera tests, I put the 45-megapixel Canon R5 mirrorless camera through its paces for the demands of astrophotography.
