Similar to the development in software, cameras today should allow you to see as accurately as possible what the final image will look like.

Canon EOS R5 presented

The rumour mill has been cooking for a few weeks now: Canon is preparing a big product launch. Little by little more and more details came out, two new mirrorless cameras and several lenses should be released. The absolute highlight of interest was the announcement of the new Canon EOS R5*.
