Canon eos r vs canon eos r5?

Both are full-frame RF mirrorless bodies, so they take the same lenses. The main differences are resolution and stabilisation. The Canon EOS R has 30.3 megapixels and no in-body stabilisation. It was announced in 2018 and is now a common used buy. The Canon EOS R5 has 45 megapixels and stabilisation in the body, and was announced in 2020.

If you want a capable full-frame body on a budget, the EOS R is a sensible choice, as long as you use stabilised lenses for slow shutter speeds. If you want more detail for cropping and stabilisation for handheld work, I'd go with the R5. Good everyday lenses for either body include the Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM, the Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM, and the Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM.
