Is Canon R5 Body As Tank-like Tough as a Canon 5D Mark IV?

[hirwani1]

I have the 5DM4 and love its tank-like build. Is the R5 as rugged? I am thinking of getting one. I can drive nails into oak beams with my 5DM4 it is so tough. How does the R5 compare in build quality https://speedtest.vet/ ? Anyone know?

Greetings,

Yes the R5 is of equal ruggedness, stature and water resistance as the 5DIV.

Yes. Although it doesn't feel like it when holding them. I currently own both the R5 and 5d IV. Both cameras are absolute workhorses. They've both been dropped, slung, submerged in salt water(really) and have taken it all. I've used the R5 in weather conditions that would make your skin crawl. Never had a single issue.
