CANON EOS R5 Mark II | First Look Review

Canon's new production powerhouse is here and it does not disappoint. Revolutionary new speed and performance is the name of the game, but does that make it the ideal camera for everyone? We hope to answer that in our first impressions video.

I am whelmed, and honestly thankful it isn’t such a major leap over the R5, as I don’t feel forced to upgrade.

[moussasah]

Tired, no revolution... but can't wait for the Canon R5 Mark III in 2028 !

The on/off butto should trade places with the Video/Photo switch.
Pretty incompetent of them to not have done this after the R6Mk ii feedback

[genxtechguy]

Anyone know if it does 4K HQ 60p (downsampled from 8K) in XF-AVC? If not, I’ll hold with my R5c.

I hope the new battery is compatible with the R5C and allows for 8k60 raw capture.

Never been here before, thought you were gonna give us a double bird at the end when you pushed back and put two fists up 😅

You didn't even mention the full size HDMI port (or did I miss it). But R5 C vs R5 Mk II analysis is spot on.

[michael_swardh]

Looks like the fan grip does not do much at 8k60 or 4k120, only a few minutes more.

[KenOja]

Is there any change in stills dynamic range? Cheers!

[ScandinavianCoward]

Can't wait for the Canon R5C Mark II 🎥

[BrianHallmond]

I predict the price tanking when better Cameras from Sony and Nikon come out over the next 6 months.

[ScottGoedkoop-go]

How is the r5ii faster than the Z8/z9 ? Nikon has half the read out speeds, more DR likely, video in raw up to 4k120fps...

How's the ibis wobble? Did you notice an improvement over the r5 or r6ii - thanks!

[renestaempfli]

How many frames/s did you use, shooting the dancer with flash?

[khreativa]

What a banger of a new camera for working pros or hybrid shooters ! If that EyeAF works as consistently as on the R1, there is no real downsides to the R5 MKII I can see - just advantages.

[ratadeldesierto]

really great video, love the color grading, any powergrade? filmsimulation? thankS!

[gordonsimpson]

R5II is all auto focus and video. Not important for all of us!!

[Eviper]

Lol, was not exclusive. Dozens of photographers/ and sadly influencers got a look at R1 and R5Mk II.

Can the horizon level stay on the screen during recording? Most Canons haven't let it stay on screen while recording (other than the R5C), and I hate that. Literally a make or break thing for me buying one.
