Canon R5 Mark II: The New Flagship? Why It Outshines the R1 in Video Specs

In this video, I dive into the specs of the Canon R5 Mark II and the Canon R1, comparing them to see if the R5 Mark II could actually be Canon's new unofficial flagship—especially when it comes to video capabilities. Traditionally, Canon's flagship models have outshined the 5 series, but this time, the R5 Mark II might just take the crown. Watch to find out why the R5 Mark II could be the camera that redefines Canon's lineup!

I like your videos! Here, I have a few disagreements. :-) 1. R1 records 6k which is more manageable than 8k and I prefer 6k. 2. R1 records 6k RAW 60 fps at RAW and not RAW light - works for me for music videos etc. 3. R1 is defined as flagship because of it's ruggedness and 'get the shot' no matter what.

It's crazy how you went from only about 2, 000 - 3, 000 subs from when I started watching you to over 60, 000K! Love your channel.

R5 series are the jack of all trades, basically they can do everything.
I have the R5 but I’m looking also for R5 ii

The R1 was designed to be better at capturing the moment. A good example of that is the new cross type sensor. The most expensive part of the camera. I think once the camera ships we will hear more about it.

I had all, r5, r5c, r3. R3 is the best for video far away. Noise, 4k 60p, dr…. Try all of them please:)

To say 6k does not give enough details, is simply wrong. 🙂

First comment: yes, the R5 II is obviously Canon's true flagship. But, they'll never admit it.

You can't be serious....R5 II does not have aa proper 4k50/60....it;s line skipped not downsampled.
