Sony Alpha 1 vs. Canon EOS R5, the hottest cameras out there.
We gave five Canon R5 Photographers the new Sony Alpha 1 to get their opinion on how it stacks up to the competition. After a month of testing, we checked in to see what they thought. Their thoughts on the Sony Alpha 1 and the Canon EOS R5 may surprise you.
“I have very cold hands. The R5 kept them warm during shoots. With this Sony camera I’m just always cold.”
- Randy Overbeck
“Would I run back into a burning Airstream Trailer for the Sony? No. I would not. I have for an R5 though”
- Jeannette LePaul
“Shooting on the Canon EOS R5 and the Sony Alpha 1 has convinced me to go back to film. If I’m going to have something highly flammable in my house, it might as well be film.”
- Robert Riley
“This camera is great for shooting. Absolutely love it! It’s not very versatile though. Sometimes I set the R5 on the driveway and melt the snow. You can’t do that with a Sony.”
- Linden Pelletier
“Sometimes I’d leave my R5 on the chair to warm the cushion up. Since I got the Sony Alpha 1, I’ve had to resort to opening Chrome and leaving my laptop on the cushion instead.”
