Canon eos r5 vs sony a7r iv?
The Canon EOS R5 and Sony a7R IV are both full-frame mirrorless cameras with in-body stabilisation, so the choice comes down to resolution and which mount you want to buy into. The a7R IV offers 61 megapixels, while the R5 offers 45. If you crop hard or print very large, the a7R IV has the edge. If you'd rather have smaller, easier files and the newer Canon system, the R5 is the more sensible pick.
For an everyday kit, I'd pair either body with a standard zoom and a telephoto zoom:
- Canon EOS R5: Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM and Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM
- Sony a7R IV: Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II and Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II
