The best part of the R5II is getting the R5 greatly discounted

I will stick with my R5 for many years to come. It´s a beast and the love of life

How many times over the last twenty years have I bought an upgraded camera because influencers or others have "told me" that the dynamic range, focusing, or whatever was 100% better than what I had, only to find out that the new camera was only marginally better (at best) and that I already had enough camera with my old gear? Professional photographers were making pro-level prints using cameras like the 12 MP D3 in the day. That camera had fantastic autofocus and beautiful images. Obviously, cameras have advanced since then, but older cameras could certainly do the job. I remember talking to a wedding photographer (at a wedding) who was shooting with an original 5D and a 5DII when the 5D IV had been out for years. He had no need to upgrade because he knew what he was doing and how to get the most out of cameras. Clients care about the image. They couldn't care less what camera was used. Of course, some elite photographers need every advantage. I take pretty nice photos, but I'm nowhere near elite level, so all is good with my older gear.

I love my R5. Does everything I need in such a small, light camera. I’ve never had an overheat either, and I shoot 4K 60 fps in Clog3. The recording limit is rarely an issue but occasionally a pain. Like you, I’ve never felt I needed *more* dynamic range, and I’m always impressed with how forgiving it is for exposure challenges. But I’m not a pro, so 🤷🏼‍♀️.

What I noticed is the R5 no longer has auto focus and the colors suck the day the R5 ii came out not mention DSLR's no longer work, lol. I love my 5D Mark IV, still my studio camera, love my R6 still works after the R6 ii came out and love my R5. No plans to upgrade to the R5 ii even though I would love it also

Just got a brand new R5 here in Switzerland for 2300Usd 🥰 Don‘t need more.

[DroseMr]

My buddies use the r5 for there tv show. Im fully invested in Lumix. Great show.Thank You

[gregorydobson]

Great video, iam just about to upgrade from my 6d to the r5. Your definitely true about the small increments a new model has to the last one.

[steeleman]

I just ordered the R5 and it's ready for pick up! I cannot wait because I know it will do all I need and more!

[JosiahAdriel]

I just got my R5 last Friday and love it

[shaileshprasad]

Is sticking to R6 better than going for R5 since R5 is discounted right now because of the mark ii coming out

[josephmurad]

I have a R6 MK1 and It does everything I need as a stills photographer. I considered picking up a refurbished R5, but decided against it and would rather invest in better glass. 45 mp is nice though.

[BasilVKfilms]

I am in a dilemma to buy R5 or R5 II. I mainly do wedding photo / video and and maternity photoshoot and commercial video ad for small companies. Could you please tell me do you find difficult to edit video from R5. Codec related

[ElBoyoElectronico]

I will definitely stick with my R5! Besides not having the money for an upgrade, I really, really do not want to also have to sell and rebuy my batteries, the cage system, the battery grip and other stuff. Imo those costs are also something that people tend to for forget

[nubscrub]

You’re the only person I’ve seen or heard mention anything about the R5 now being trash. No one is saying that?

[ralphguppy]

My R6 MkII gives me the pre-capture, which is indeed a valuable wildlife feature. I’m looking for an R5 for the resolution increase only to make cropping easier.

[philcupper]

Timely video. Been on my R6 for awhile and looking to pick up another body to replace my older EOS R as a backup/second body. Honestly think the original R5 is going to be plenty for me instead of the R5mkII. (Wedding hybrid coverage).

[jeffmanser]

What the hell is an R5 There’s an R5 and a R5II shaking my head
