I went for a drive today just to get a few initial images with the R5. My initial impression is it seems like a quantum leap from the 6D II and 5D III. (Good thing, because I shipped the 5D off to an eBay buyer today.) Since the viewfinder view is electronic, there is so much more they can do to show focusing points.
But is the 45mp resolution so much better than the 6D's 26.2? I can't say yet. Here are two crops of a turkey image I took today. The tight crop is the actual pixels, 1800x1200. The other one obviously is not as tight. Good, yes. Does it blow me away? Not yet. Stand by.
And I always come back to this. My most commercially-successful image was shot with a 4mp sensor in 2004. What I'm hoping for from the R5 is not millions of pixels to put on a billboard, but world-class autofocus to get more keeper images for my web site.
