Canon EOS R5: The Return of (to?) Canon – Why I am thinking about a system change from MFT back to full frame News

At first, it was just rumors that sounded almost too good to be true. A mirrorless Canon R-series camera with IBIS and 8K video? But little by little, the indications that there could be something there increased and ultimately expanded into a veritable leak. Now Canon has officially announced the development of such a camera. And it should be on the market by the middle of the year. There is even one official website for the EOS R5,

Review: At the end of 2013 I sold my last (full frame) DSLR, a Nikon, including lenses and switched to the Micro Four Thirds system and the OM-D E-M1. I explained the reasons for this in detail in the test of the E-M1. One of the most important was the desire for less size and weight of the equipment and to switch to the future-oriented mirrorless technology (DSLM – Digital Single Lens Mirrorless) at an early stage. At that time, Canon and Nikon had no idea of ​​a comparable complete and serious DSLM system. I accepted certain compromises in image quality because the E-M1 has just proven itself so well as a photographic tool. In fact, the two top dogs did not enter this segment with full-frame cameras until 2018 with the Nikon Z and Canon EOS R, which, however, did not fully convince me.

But now I am getting more and more specific thoughts, possibly returning to full format.
