In a recent interview Canon David Parry, Canon’s Product Marketing Specialist confirmed that Canon EOS R5 is a 5D series camera and not a Mirrorless Flagship.
So is that why this camera is called the EOS R5?
“It’s aimed at that level of the market. This isn’t a replacement for the 5D Mark IV or anything like that. But this is a mirrorless 5-series, it’s aimed at that segment of the market,” he said.
“Which makes sense because in film days we had the EOS 5, then with digital DSLRs we had the 5D, and now we’ve got the R5 now. So it’s all the same sort of level.” he added.

EOS R5 has impressive video credentials. How does it handle heat issues when shooting 8K video?
“We’ve been doing this for a while now and we’ve learnt a lot of techniques to dissipate heat on other products that we have in our lineup. For example, being able to move components around, and being able to have them further away from each other,” he said.

“We’re in the same situation as all the other manufacturers in that we’re keeping an eye on things and seeing what we can do,” he said.
“It’s not the same as this, but we’ve had natural disasters before, so we have a pretty robust system for being able to deal with things like the tsunami and earthquakes. I know this is very, very different, but there’s things in place to work on this kind of thing,” he added
