I just upgraded my wife’s camera from the R7 to the R6II and then taught her how the back button eye detection and then the spot auto focus worked, and she was blown away! The smiles were well worth the upgrade! I was a game changer. I no longer have to hear her getting angry and cussing, because her camera wont focus anymore! Thanks for all your help fellas. Cheers!

DXO just added the r5 mkii and results are great.

You're not only two most amazing photographers and masters of your cameras, you're just as awesome show Great show in every way.

Hi Jan just wanted to jump on and say I bought your Masterclasses and I absolutely LOVE them. I have really only just started but I have learnt some really valuable editing tips already so I am one very happy customer.

The sample images clean up quite nicely.

Thanks for another great video, guys. :)

Terrific video! I really enjoyed the in-person interactions. I don't recall you mentioning it in this episode, but the increased sensor readout speed and concomitant reduction in rolling shutter was another factor motivating my purchase of the R5 Mark II. I'll have a better understanding of how much of an upgrade the R5 Mark II is from the R5 when I return from my upcoming trip to the Amazon.

Hi Jan and Glenn,

Thank you for this great Video! 👍

I got my R5 Mark II on August 22, 2024 and I am very satisfied. Later I also got the CF-R20EP battery grip/fan and three additional LP-E6P batteries.

Unlike many others, I enjoy photographing and filming mammals the most. Birds and other animals too, but of secondary importance.

In my opinion, the noise behavior is no better than the R5. Basically I turned off all assistants like noise reductions.
I've (only) two R5 and I saw no real different.
But the autofocus on the R5 Mark II was significantly better in low light. But in the twilight after sunset, the R5 Mark II did a good job.
R5 Mark II + RF 600mm f/4.0 L IS USM + RF Extender 1.4x
Wild boars in front of a bush and the R5 Mark II's autofocus had no problems. The R5 already had problems here.

This are the main reasons I bought the R5 Mark II. Better autofocus and better video features and capabilities.
I will definitely continue to use one of my two R5s.
For me the R5 is still a very good camera. So I don't know yet whether I'll ever buy a second R5 Mark II.

Thanks for this nice video and I look forward to seeing more of your videos! 😎
Greetings from Germany

Hey Jan, I hope you can join to one of the Glen’s Workshops in Colombia. You won’t be dissapointed, Colombia has a lots of bird photographers and as you might know, a lot of species.

[kennethlui]

R5II is outstanding for bird photography. Period.

[barbarachamberlain]

Great to see you together! Received my R5 mk ii yesterday (upgraded from the R5) and used your setup guide today. So far, so good. Thanks for the excellent help and a wonderful episode today.

[nerrelloader]

Great show having you photographing together. Those little finches are just so adorable. Thank you for the tips, as always.

[WalkingEng]

So good to see you both together and taking some great photos. Thanks for putting together such a great show.

[JohnAGreenland]

Brilliant show! Really inspiring me to go out and find those stunning images. Thank you!

[divercraig]

Great video guys. Very enjoyable and good to see you both together. Thanks for sharing further review of the R5mkII.

[clausborner]

I like your solid and entertaining analysis as well as your photographic results !

[keeleykirkendall]

I think you both work well together presenting. Thanks for the tips and suggestions.

[chasmoonie]

Great video guys, thanks for the files. Manual focus on video is useful sometimes, especially for those tricky small birds in amongst branches, the peak focus helps a lot too

[chetankher]

Another excellent video. I was smiling throughout the video as you guys had so many similar experiences like I have with this camera in past one month. More files to scan through, pre capture, high iso in low light, autofocus struggle etc. I hope your camera setup guide is same as it was on day one.
