Canon EOS R5 in 2026: Why Does Everyone Hate It?

When the Canon EOS R5 II was released, I was insanely suspicious. Seemingly, everyone was praising it as the best camera in the world like the Canon EOS R5 was suddenly rendered useless. In fact, I called it the camera equivalent of catfishing. And still to this day, I wonder about this. Why does everyone hate on this camera? In truth, I think that it's because Canon tends to spend money on flying YouTubers and influencers to do their bidding. But Phoblographer gave up press trips many years ago. So I steadfastly believe that I'm a lot more level-headed on this. And more importantly, I'm probably one of the only journalists who's preached that Canon robbed photographers of one of the best features they had for years.
