Canon EOS R5
The EOS R5 is a pro-tier (77) full-frame RF hybrid built around a 45MP sensor with IBIS, 8K30 video, and dual CFexpress B/SD UHS-II slots at 738g. It's aimed at shooters who need high-resolution RF stills alongside 8K capture in one body. It isn't a budget kit, so first-time buyers on a tight budget should look at Canon's entry RF bodies.
