I was finally able to get my hands on the Canon EOS R5 and the Canon RF 100-500 lens. I immediately took the camera combo out to one of my favorite locations to see how the camera handles bird in flight photography. If you want to see how EOS R5 performs, watch the video below.

The scuttle on the freeze up he mentioned seems to be when using the battery pack. When removed it did not happen. Don't l know if there is a fix yet.

Thanks for posting, I currently have an EOS R and was very disappointed in its tracking performance, it does seem like Canon has made greatly needed improvements to the R5.

I didn't notice this. I think my issue might be a card write issue.
