Canon is rightly regarded as one of the premier manufacturers of cameras and optical equipment, and the Canon EOS R5 is a reminder of why. Labelled 'a camera of epic proportions' by our reviewer Jacob Little, it's an astonishing $699 off for Prime Day.
Couple this 45 megapixel Canon EOS R5 body with one of the best lenses for astrophotography and you'll be stunned by its image quality, as our expert was in their Canon EOS R5 review, where they awarded it 4.5/5 stars. It's ideal for astrophotography, but its super-accurate tracking (including eye, face and head detection) means it's also excellent for nature watching and weddings. It's overkill for newcomers but if you're a pro or semi-pro photography you won't regret purchasing this powerhouse of a camera.
Think of all the memory cards, spare batteries and transport you could buy with the savings! Take yourself away to a dark sky reserve and shoot the stars knowing you saved.

The Canon EOS R5 may have been superseded by the Mark II but it's still a superb camera.
Looking to level up your photography to the point where you can profit from it? Then the Canon EOS R5 is for you, especially now it's reduced for Prime Day. It may have been superseded by the R5 Mark II but this is still a top-tier camera, suitable for pros or would-be pros.
In our review of the Canon EOS R5, our expert remarked that "It might be the most complete camera Canon has ever produced". Not only is it excellent for astrophotography, bringing out the detail in low light conditions, its autofocus and image stabilization is particularly impressive, making it a gift for nature-watchers or event photographers.
