I'm not updating my Canon R5 right now, but I think it's inevitable that I will update at some point. Canon has fixed pretty much every complaint I had about the R5 and it's just a matter of time before I'll feel compelled to upgrade. The R5 is an outstanding camera but knowing a superior version of the camera exists will be too tempting to ignore indefinitely. The good new is that if you can wait and upgrade your Canon gear mid-cycle you can almost always get a better deal.
In my case, as an Aviation & Navy photographer and videographer it will be amazing!! I'm facing a lot of issues with the old R5, with the electronic Shutter 20 and there's no video switch (I also using 3rd party lens Sigma 60-600mm and after Canon released the new firmware 2.0, most of the pictures come blurry.. I sent it to the lab, they said, everything is fine, stop complaining to the whole world and his wife, use a mechanical shutter... I didn't switch form 5D mk IV for mechanical shutter..). But the price tag is too much for me, the price outside of US/EU is way more expensive... I wish Canon could do a trade in with R5 users, cut the price in a half...
I only care about doing portrait photography. It would be almost impossible to notice the difference in files image quality between the R5 and R5 Mark II. The only difference I see is the -$1394.25 more that it costs after sales tax compared to the R5 (brand new).
I wouldn’t buy it either if I were the same kind of shooter you are. But the main features they advertised (except for NR and up scaling - silly features imo) are exactly what I need from the r5m2, so I put in my preorder.
By the way, be sure to check the user guide when available because there are a lot of other features found in other cameras that came after the original R5 that will make there way into the mark 2, and maybe a few more (but unlikely a GPS won’t be added).
i have a R5, and don't see it worth upgrading unless you do video. The R1 - aimed at sports dudes but it doesn't seem to be a leap forward from the R3 by all accounts. But i would happily have either for the right price 😊
BSI and stacked... ! The R5II is faster than the R5 because he has a STACKED sensor, not because it's a BSI sensor : this is the huge difference between the 2.
After watching Mark II videos all morning long, it seems that for many photographers who are coming to the R5 platform from DSLR's, the $2999.00 Mark I is a choice worth considering. It is still the exceptional camera that it was last week.

I'm not buying it either. I have the R5 which is adequate for pretty well all my still image needs and 8K video if I ever need it. Especially since I also have a DJI OSMO Pocket 3 for video and vlogging and a smart camera for astro and tracking wildlife, a Dwarf II(soon to be III). As far as the R5 II is concerned, the differences are very marginal with the R5 in my opinion. The question is, will the differences really mean that you get that greatest ever picture that is pin sharp and award winning ? The chances are you will have the in-camera settings wrong, that you will be in the wrong place at the wrong time, the lighting will be off etc... If you are a professional and need efficiency and guaranteed results then it's probably worth the upgrade, after all you are already successful and rich and have a vast array of bodies and lenses. For the amateur and enthusiastic hobbyist it's a waste of money. Just get an R5, new or used, and decent lenses and shoot more images, you will have great images among those that you take.
@@grumblewoof4721 I am a professional but it doesn’t pay as much as you might think! What you say is true though, many people will blame the camera for not getting the best shots when it’s because they don’t know how to use the gear they have.
im with you on this score in most you said . im really happy with the mk1 . so unless thay come out with alot more im not going to upgrade and its like tony n and his wife said most things have now been done in cams so what more can they do .
9:45 on the R8 you can turn on the beep and then the electronic shutter makes a sound when set to high speed. And silent mode set to off obviously. I have a bespoke setup for high speed under C2, including beep on. For all other settings beep is off. Isn’t that the same in other R models?
@@edinburghphotographyworkshop It doesn't really add a beep, it's more of a soft shuttersound when shooting at high speed. You can turn it on or off as the situation requires. You said you wanted some haptic feedback. Normally that implies some sort of feeling, like a vibration for example. I'm not sure it's a good idea to make the shutterbutton vibrate when shooting. Anyway, there is always visual confirmation you're actually shooting by quick blinking of the white cadre around the frame in the EVF and backscreen.

Good night! Great news that you are not buying the R5II.
Nice video, but the noise on the mic makes it really hard to listen to. Please fix it, sound matters alot in video.

Why is there so much static in this video? It sounds as if it were recorded ip years ago.

Yes, you could add a beep, but that wouldn’t work in say a theatre environment or shooting golf or tennis

would you be interested in joining me on one of my livestreams ?
Great video brother. There is a little bit of white noise going on.
Why does this sound so noisy?
