Like if you’re watching this, but already ordered your R5 mk II 🥰

You REALLY want to check out your audio settings. It's severely clipping. The Rode Wireless Go II withstands far higher audio levels so surely the mike itself isn't a problem. Are you sure you haven't bumped the volumne too much in post?

[scottievee]

This is what I wanted to hear. I'll grab one to go with the C400 I have coming. Hands on knowledge. I see so many YouTubers talking smack about specs and they NEVER even shot with it. Damn that burns me.

[MrNoipe]

Sound quality seems to be off in the video. It's peaking a lot.

Thanks for this exhaustive review! You're not the only one complaining about the inability to program pre-capture to a button. The R8 has it so hopefully they do add it to firmware. Super impressive tracking that goose. Hopefully it can track small birds in branches better than the original!

Thanks for the thorough review and the link. To the samples. Much Appreciated 👍

I have pre-ordered & can't wait to get te

Picking up my R5 Mk II tomorrow. Your comments on the SD I will be buying the SDXC UHS-II Cards 128 GB Thank you for an early insight it certainly is going to help me. Would it not be possible to use say C3 for Pre Shooting ON then switch back to your normal preferred mode with it OFF Have subscribed and look forward to more content.

[jamesseward]

A short cut to Pre-Capture would be to set it turned on to you C3 custom function options until Canon comes with a firmware solution to add a dedicated button. Thanks 😊

[BW_Maher]

Agree that they need to come up with a quick way to turn pre-capture on and off. In addition, a way to set the number of photos taken rather than a simple 1/2s should be in the works as well.

[anadelman]

Thanks for including the sample files!

Excellent review. Live in the UK, but born in Johannesburg and return quite often for holidays.
I read elsewhere a suggestion to use a custom (C1 etc) profile, one with pre-continuous shooting enabled and another without as a workaround.
That can then, I presume, be changed via a custom button assignment.

[marcelrothmund]

Thanks Gunther, ecxellent video with an in depth description of the new R5 II. Much appreciated!

[JohnSwen-pb]

Thank you for the review. Looks like a very solid camera. I will be setting precapture to one of the custom shooting modes. As a wildlife photographer I see precapture being very useful. I will also set the frame rate to 20 fps and 30 fps. 30 fps for maximum speed and 20 fps for a longer time before the buffer fills.

How is weather proofing with this cooling vents? Still safe to use in rain?

[thierryhoornaert]

Thank you for the thorough review. It answers many questions as I preordered the R5 mkII.
I wonder if the number of shots in pre-continuous shooting could be limited on purpose, just like it can for continuous shooting? It would certainly limit data card consumption.
I also wonder if C1, C2 and C3 can be set up with the pre-continuous shooting being on or off for each case.
Did you change your mind about some button presets after you used the camera?

[epsonc]

Nice video. When you press video recoding button In photo mode, does it still record video in C3 setting?

[ponchoparedes]

excellent explanation of this camera. Many Thanks

[collinh]

Thank you for this. Any thoughts how this compared to the R5 with respect to noise, DR and sharpness? What about the blacks and contrasts, they seem more pronounced in the images?

[bormot]

BG-R20 is compatible with R5, R6, R6 Mark II. Could you check if BG-R10 works with R5 mark ii
