This is just my opinion, of course, but I believe Apple wants imagery that really POPS! That means high contrast, high saturation, high sharpness. And, you now get ProRAW if you enable that option so you can also use an app like Lightroom to non-destructively tweak output as needed.īut here’s the thing: the iPhone is engineered to be a social media machine first and foremost. On several occasions I’ve compared the R5 to the iPhone (both an older iPhone XR and new iPhone 15 Pro Max). Having them stored in 45MP RAW format is a great way to maintain a library that can be accessed in the future, or at the very least to be used as a backup, just in case something happens to the actual physical works. We can then use those to archive, and print as needed. I like using RAW to adjust the white balance and various other settings to achieve a near perfect rendering of the original. I’ve been using an R5 to take high-res reference photos of Loni’s artwork - mostly consisting of oil paintings. At $2,999 USD, the R5 may not be exactly cheap, but for those who make a living shooting video and high-res stills this is a workhorse option well worth considering. With 8K video, a 45MP sensor, high resolution stills mode (400MP), dual memory card slots, and typically outstanding Canon ergonomics, this is a camera that means business.īest of all, while still a relatively new model, you can buy one on sale for 23% off retail. For my money, the Canon EOS R5 is still the flagship full-frame camera to beat.
