Canon EOS R5 Mark II Preview: STACKED & IMPRESSIVE…the TRUE “Flagship”?!

FROPACK4 is HERE with 14 all-new custom Lightroom presets!!! Check it out

This is a preview of the Canon EOS R5 Mark II. I got a chance to test this camera out on a very short press trip to Phoenix Arizona. This camera right here is impressive. Any way you slice it from the stills to the video, impressive. Compared to Nikon and SONY’s offerings, impressive.

The R5 Mark II in many ways is more flagship then the flagship R1…but of course, not in every way. From shooting speed, to megapixels, to read out speeds, the R5 Mark II offers so much. It’s 100% a worthy upgrade to the R5.

Come on Mark I owners, buy the Mark II and start selling your Mark I's and make the second hand price drop. I'm counting on you

[Bufftoys]

The real winners here. The people who waited to get used R5 for $1k. 🎉

[GarrettLucasWV]

Gotta say that when announcement day comes and there's 20 YouTubers with their videos dropping, I always go to Jared first. He provides the best details without all the frilly nonsense that makes some other look like corporate shills. Appreciate the work!

[operatorpsyduck]

can't wait in 15 years to pick this up for $200

[JojoJoget]

R1 is just an upgraded R3, R5 is the real flagship

I am so blown away from this new predicting AF, thats wild. As Jared said, it is faster than you can follow. Amazing. Hope to see this in the R7 II.

I just bought an R5 from B&H when it was on sale for $500 off and used the Payboo card to save an additional $250 in sales tax (almost 9% for me), so I saved closed to $750 on it. I knew in the back of my mind that the R5II was coming out, and I might regret buying the R5, but after watching this, I'm fine with my purchase. I shoot nature and landscapes, and almost never shoot video, and rarely ever shoot sports or anything that even moves. The R5 II is a great camera, but after seeing this, and spending $1500 less, my R5 is still the right camera for me. That said, Canon has really upped it's game with the R5II

That face priority is a game changer for walking down the aisle shots at weddings. My eye detect would always jump into a guest until the person got about half way down so I would switch on back button focus between the modes!

[AaronTremblay]

This mark II perfectly fulfilled my wishlist from the R5 mark I, so yeah, I’ll be getting it! Clog2, no record limit, and false color were my minimums and now it’s the perfect B cam to my C70 and an virtually unmatched photo camera

[NotIT]

Me to Canon, "Shut up and take my money!" Totally upgrading from my R5 to the Mk II. The sensor upgrade and AF options for sports sealed the deal.

[Hakku]

Now it´s so easy to stick with my R5 Mark I til eternity.

[samthetoolman]

Canon has always made the R5 with the highest resolution but the R1 as the work horse. I just purchased the R5 2 and going to use it for sports and see how it works. The R3 is now 4k great deal. But here is the thing the R3 was sharper in tests when compared to Sony and Nikon. I believe in a few years we will see a new R1 that will make leaps an d bounds. Canon has always been this way they play it safe till they get the technology right instead of releasing a camera that may have issues

[BYJAMESDAVIS]

Great upgrade, but I’ll definitely be sticking to my OG R5 and picking up a used model as a second body. My R5 hasn’t failed me

[Mark_Sodapopinski]

Here after the official announcement. I knew you had them.

[GameLikeYouMeanIt]

I really do appreciate Jared's straight to the point writing style

[zamanvou]

“I love balls!” 😂 Still waiting Canon R Mark II 30MP…

[brianbeattyphotography]

feels to me like the OG R5 was the real step forward. this seems like an incremental upgrade

[JohnDrummondPhoto]

The stills you showed of the golfer are at the top of the swing, when the club is moving slowest. So, that's just normal club flex. To check for rolling shutter, see the frames just after contact with the ball, when the club head is moving the fastest.

[TheBigBlueMarble]

The Canon R1 has fallen victim to the age-old and widely held bias that the most important spec by which a new camera is judged is MEGAPIXELS. If the R1 had released with all the same specs but with at least a 45MP sensor, there would be no doubt that all the "experts" would hail this as the new Canon flagship. Instead of questioning Canon's use of the term flagship, they would be talking about the fast sensor read speed, what is possibly the world's best AF, and the new upscaling and noise reduction capabilities.

And the sad part is, Canon's product managers should have known this would happen.

I have a Canon EOS R, it was time for me to really upgrade so I bought the R5 mark II today. Can’t wait to receive it!!
