Take a look between the quick comparison between the Panasonic S5 and the Canon EOS R6 camera.
Panasonic uses a 24MP CMOS sensor and Canon uses 20MP FF Sensor. Both of them using CMOS tech. So, despite having almost the same ISO range we do expect in Still photography Canon EOS R6 will give us slightly better low-light performance compared to the Panasonic S5.
Canon EOS R6 – Best Camera for Shooting Still Images / Weeding / Event / Wildlife Photography
Canon EOS R6 overall is a good camera for still photographers. The camera features a Newly developed 2nd generation of DPAF sensor with blazingly fast AF as well as a low-res sensor to perform well in low-light conditions. Canon EOS R6 is also capable to shoot continuous shooting speed up to 12FPS with a mechanical shutter and 20 FPS with an electronic shutter with full-time AF/AE active.
Panasonic S5 – Best Camera for Landscape shooter and Studiographers
If you are a Landscape shooter or Studiographer and don’t need the blazing fast AF speed of the camera then Panasonic will help you a little bit more with the enhanced base ISO range and slightly more resolution than of Canon EOS R5.
Panasonic S5 – High-Resolution Mode ( For Studishooters)
By using sensor-shift stabilization technology, the S5 features a High-Resolution Mode to capture and compile eight separate exposure to create a single 96MP raw or JPEG file. Suitable for static subjects and when working on a tripod, this mode creates a more highly detailed and color accurate image than a single shot alone can produce and produces an image with a 12000 x 8000-pixel resolution.

4K @ 60p Video With Fast AF – Canon EOS R6
If you want a 4K capable Video Camera with Fast AF Speed than you should go with Canon EOS R6. Canon EOS R6 also features the latest 2nd gen of DPAF and you can record high-quality 4K videos up to 60 fps, along with Full HD at 120 fps for slow-motion playback. Both formats can be recorded internally at 4:2:2 10-bit and both Canon Log and HDR-PQ are supported for greater control over color rendering, and to suit high dynamic range output.
Panasonic S5 – Best PAL for Cinematographers
If Fast AF isn’t a big issue to you then welcome to Panasonic World. Panasonic S5 is an excellent camera that features DUAL Native ISO, it’s just like two different cameras recording the same clip at a variable ISO range and merging them all together to create Noise-free High-Quality Videos. Dual Native ISO gives film creators a greater variety of artistic choices as well as the ability to use less light on the set, saving time. The LUMIX S5’s Dual Native ISOs are 640 and 4000. The high-speed recording is possible, up to Full HD at 180 fps, and anamorphic recording is also available.

I am really SHOCKED to hear that, Canon representative said in an interview that they have stopped the research and development of Canon new EF or EF-S Lenses. No more new DSLR lenses in the near future until and unless we get we have market demand. [Yes you do have, but why such bad decisions in favor of mirrorless system ?] . Take a look at what they have said in an interview
Canon Europe pro product marketing senior manager, Richard Shepherd, said that while Canon will continue to support EF lenses, the plan is to focus on RF lenses.
‘As you know, last year we launched the RF mount and EOS R system […] To date we’ve launched ten critically acclaimed lenses, and as it’s a new system we plan to continue this, launching more RF lenses while still fully supporting the EF lens system. And of course, should the market demand it, we are ready to create new EF lenses. But for now, our focus is on RF.’
It’s a clear hint that they are running on the same DSLR cannibalization policy they have opted back on 2018. But wait, I also do own a bunch of Canon EF Lenses and can you believe they have just silently killed Canon’s EF mount was released 33 years ago.
They need a buffer time to create more options in front of their new and existing user base. There are a lot of people who are still not ready to commit in the new Mirrorless system. And do they also have logical reasoning which includes a very limited ECO system of RF mount and absence of professional body.
So, at the end Canon don’t want to lose their DSLR user base to a different brand due to absence of proper options. These new DSLR camera are strategic update to retain the DSLR user-base for 3-4 years, so they can bring more options [Mirrorless cameras] in front of DSLR in the next few years.
We will update you soon as we get any new information.
