Hi everyone,

I really need help here. I bought a new r5. I can't get sharp pictures from that camera no matter what settings I've tried. I've read almost all posts on google and other forums. I still don't understand what's wrong. The same lens with my r8 is razor sharp. I'm a wedding photographer and I thought about upgrading for more resolution and being safer with dual memory cards. I'm not happy with the result no matter what I shoot. I've updated the software on the camera to the latest according to Canon, but not the lens because I couldn't find an update for it. I've tried high shutter speeds but the same results and changed the shutter mechanism and it's the same result, IBIS on and off lens aberration, I tested it all. I see other wedding photographers using the same camera with the same lens and they swear by it. What am I missing here? The pictures are also blurry when I use flash which I don't think is logical. I'm thinking of returning the camera to the seller and changing to something else like r6iii if I don't find a solution for this.

Hey guys/girls, I charged my 3 batteries before a trip. Then forgot two at home. By the time I went to pull out the camera 2 days later my battery life was already at the point of low and one bar. Super frustrating, and I want to know what you guys do with your battery life? How many batteries do you have and do you use WiFi Bluetooth on all the time?

Side question. If you use your phone and camera are you using the camera connect app? And do you leave your WiFi and Bluetooth on all the time for it? And* (do you need to constantly say keep trying WiFi instead of Bluetooth?) I find it super annoying to join WiFi but need Bluetooth on for it.
