Not everyone is happy with Canon's new cameras, the R1 and the R5 Mark II. Here, you can read what photographer Illya Ovchar thinks about these two models.
While the Canon R1 and R5 Mark II undoubtedly bring some interesting features to the table, they don't represent the game-changing advancements that many of us were hoping for. The incremental improvements and high price points make them less appealing for photographers who are already well-equipped with previous models. The reality is that in the world of photography, there haven't been any truly "bad" cameras for over a decade. What matters more than having the latest gear is mastering the tools you already have and focusing on the craft of photography itself. So, before you get caught up in the hype and feel the urge to upgrade, consider whether these new releases genuinely offer something that will transform your work—or if they're just another marketing push designed to empty your wallet.
Here is one important point, the R5 Mark II has a stacked sensor which makes a huge difference for wildlife, sport or any action photography. Other than that, a wedding photographer will not notice any substantial difference between the R5 and R5 Mark II, not to pay the huge difference in price.
