German boxer Alem Begic throws a punch during training. The Canon EOS R5 combines the high-resolution capture of the EOS 5DS with the high-speed shooting of the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III, making it a true heavyweight for action sports – and earning it a regular place in Richard Walch's kitbag.

Which is better, a traditional full-frame DSLR or the mirrorless full-frame Canon EOS R System? We asked leading extreme sports photographer and Canon Ambassador Richard Walch for his Canon full-frame comparison.
Richard Walch is one of the world's most experienced action photographers. He has been using Canon cameras professionally for more than 25 years. Best known for his snow sports and sailing images, Richard works in the most extreme environments on fast-moving shoots where failing to get the shot is not an option. That's why he chooses the right camera for each job.
"Before I go on each job, I work out which is the perfect system for me to take," he explains. "For full-frame DSLR, Canon has a huge range of bodies and lenses to choose from. I love the rugged quality and the great battery life."
