Paras Chandaria

“The R5 has changed wildlife photography-focusing for me entirely.” Paras Chandaria is an award-winning wildlife photographer who boasts about the face and eye detection on the R5 being spectacular, and he’s equally enthused about being able to track birds in flight and cats in tall grass. “I did it seamlessly,” said Paras Chandaria. The R5 was a game changer in his field where he can focus on fast-moving subjects in the shortest time.

Hakeem Salaam

“The design of this camera is as far as I’m concerned one of the best I’ve seen so far in any camera.” Hakeem Salaam is a widely published and award-winning photographer who appreciates the simple, straightforward and intuitive design of the Canon EOS R6 that allows him to hold it and use it with one hand. When he’s shooting using the mechanical shutter, “No action is lost,” said Salaam. Switching to the electronic shutter he can do 20fps and with the “unparalleled autofocus tracking” he doesn’t miss any great shots.

Peter N'dungu

“It handles focusing in low light like a charm and enables me to get shots like this without having to worry about missing focus and messing up my shot.” Award-winning travel photographer, Peter N’dungu, is always seeking the thrill of the adventure and with his type of work having a camera that can perform well in low light is absolutely essential. He believes the R6 is outstanding in low light performance. “With the camera’s high ISO capability and low light sensitivity, I’m also able to get quality and usable images in low light without sometimes requiring a tripod.”

Youssef Boudlal

“The R5 brought a real change to me.” As a photojournalist, Youssef Boudlal needs to work fast and save time. He’s someone who’s interested in storytelling and sharing the beauty and complexity of the world, and chooses the Canon EOS R5 to accomplish that. “Using subject tracking, 20 fps with 45 mp full frame CMOS sensor is just impressive and impossible to miss any frame.”
