Appreciate the honest review. I stuck with the r5 as a portrait photographer, and plenty fast. If you’re a sports photographer I could see the benefits only. The video side of things are nice but most of you aren’t professionals and honestly don’t need it. It’s more of a want vs a need. The $2899 price tag for the R5, right now, is just a hell of a deal, so portrait photographers, stick with the r5 and get a quality lens with the extra money you’re saving.

You are the second content creator who gave a definitive answer on a difficult topic. Your statements in no way influenced my decision to purchase the Canon R5ii. But, I feel a little more informed on the matter. Thank you.

Sorry making these videos are tough to do, but you did an awesome job and I love hearing your findings and your thoughts. Thank you, Manny.

So pretty much you said if you have the original R5 then you're good. I love my R5 and I'm not gonna upgrade just for air vents. The OG is already a great camera.

Subscribed to your channel because you called it the Sears Tower

Well done! Count me among those who decided to get the R5 rather than the R5 Mk II. I love my R6.2, and I've read a lot of good stuff about the R5.2, but given the type of photography I do — landscape/nature/wildlife — and given that I don't do video at all, the R5 is going to be a great addition to my gear. Mine should arrive tomorrow, and I'll be putting the 200-800 on it immediately to see how things go.

Great vid as always. I'll keep my R5, the incremental small improvements don't justify the upgrade price.

I currently use the R6II and R7, mainly for motorsports and motorcycle racing. I sometimes shoot weddings, some photoshoots, so the R5ii will be my next do-it-all camera.

Thank you so much for your honest review! I personally own an R5 and I’m still absolutely thrilled with it. That said, I’m definitely considering picking one up in the future, especially for my next safari trip—it seems like such a great fit for that kind of adventure! 😊

Keep grinding! It’s tedious work but very informative information. Great work 👍🏽

I photograph roller derby in Denver and like the improvements of the camera going from a 5D Mark IV and R6 Mark II. I did keep the R6M2. But the focusing on the subjects is great. The prefocus capture is also an added plus.

Just double checked my R5 II to make sure I wasn’t wrong, but I have a button set to turn on and off the exposure simulation. I can see my ambience exposure without turning off the flash trigger and it’s immediate. I don’t have to wait 5 seconds like you mentioned. Using profoto, not sure about other brands.

Nice one Manny, I agree with your points. The R5 is already kinda 'maxxed out' as a stills cam. Like what level of street, portrait, product or even fashion photography would you need to be at to need to upgrade. About 90% of photographers won't necessarily see the benefit. I do a bit of wildlife and I'm into video, so I upgraded. I have mine here now ready to unbox.

I loved my R5 but the C_Log 2 is a game changer

I went for the R5II cause of the video improvements over the R5.

You are right about the images from the R5II are a bit crispier. I did some ISO test. They both are very close

Appreciate the effort and time you put into this comparison Manny

As a wildlife photographer the R5 II is a solid upgrade! And I agree, the image quality seems to be more crisp
