Celebrating 20 Years of the Canon EOS 5 Series!

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Canon’s EOS 5 interchangeable-lens digital camera series—a milestone worth celebrating. Nearly all of my favorite photographs from the last twenty years were created with cameras from the EOS 5 series. The original 5D was with me during the filming of my award-winning television series Travels to the Edge, capturing stills that conveyed the beauty and our planet and it’s creatures. Each generation since has brought new opportunities to refine my craft, whether through enhanced resolution, improved low-light performance, or innovate autofocus technology.

Today, I’m working with the R5 Mark II, and it continues the tradition of excellence that first drew me to the series. These cameras have been invaluable tools in my work as both an artist and an advocate for the environment. Most remarkable has been their durability. Over the years I’ve had very few if any issues outside the usual wear-and-tear you might expect when traveling as much as I do, often to areas of extreme weather.

As Canon celebrates this milestone, I celebrate alongside them—grateful for the images captured, the stories told, and the enduring partnership between technology and vision.
