Pick up one of Canon's professional full-frame DSLRs and you can feel where your money's going. The EOS 5D Mark IV and EOS-1D X Mark III are muscular machines but their robust bodies are fast and nimble to use, with a wealth of customizable physical controls. They also offer performance and reliability that professionals rely on.
Canon's flagship full-frame EOS R mirrorless camera, the EOS R3, sets a new benchmark for speed and autofocus performance, and its high-resolution stablemate, the EOS R5, takes the hybrid approach of the EOS 5D series to new heights, with an enticing blend of 45MP stills, 8K video, built-in image stabilization and next-level subject tracking. Its DSLR counterpart, the EOS 5D Mark IV, includes 30.4MP stills, 4K video (albeit cropped), excellent all-round image quality and 7fps shooting speed. So, despite being almost six years old now, Canon's classic 5-Series DSLR still has much to offer every pro photographer.
That is, if you can get hold of one. You'll probably find that retailers are awaiting stock of the EOS 5D Mark IV, but it's not the only EOS camera that's difficult to buy at the moment. There's a shortage across the board, although it's particularly noticeable with the latest mirrorless cameras. For example, in March, Canon announced on its Japanese website that when you order an EOS R3, it may take more than half a year to be delivered.
