Canon EOS R5 vs Canon EOS R7
Every spec below is quoted from the makers' official pages — where a figure isn't published we say so rather than guess. Sizes are drawn at true relative scale from published dimensions, and the bag-fit row is computed against our measured bag catalog.
The 3 biggest published differences
- EVF resolution: the R5 leads at 5.76 million dots (1600x1200) vs the R7's 2.36 million dots (1024x768).
- Battery life (CIPA): the R7 leads at 770 shots (LCD) / 500 shots (EVF), CIPA standard, at 23°C vs the R5's 490 shots (LCD) / 320 shots (EVF), CIPA standard, at 23°C.
- EVF magnification: the R7 leads at 1.15x vs the R5's 0.76x.
