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
😂
I've already seen it for £1800 in the UK. If it goes any lower I may change systems finally.
Right
Amen
sorry dude, but now it´s so easy to stick with my R5 Mark I for many many years to come.
The real winners here. The people who waited to get used R5 for $1k. 🎉
I was thinking those who stayed with Nikon when they were struggling with the Z6ii and Z7ii.
🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭
Where can i get a used R5 for $1k?
im keeping my r5 as a full-time remote camera. Its not worth selling it at a low used price.
@@riotrob I agree. I’m keeping my R5 also… but I’m definitely getting the R5m2… 😈
can't wait in 15 years to pick this up for $200
comment of the yeah
😂😂😂😂
How old will you be?
😂
I just farted
R1 is just an upgraded R3, R5 is the real flagship
R5 ii is a mildly upgraded r5
The R3 will most likely be discontinued in about 4 years
@@Yupthereitism
R5ii has a stacked sensor, whereas the old one did not have one (see 8:07 to 8:18). A 45 MP BSI stacked sensor seems like the sort of thing the flagship R1 would have, not the R5ii. It's very strange.
@@TisthammerPhotography I agree. I think the r1 should have the r5 ii sensor for sure. Tbh though the stacked sensor isn’t all that useful unless you’re doing sports or fast nature, if you don’t use the speed then you are taking a hit to your image quality for no reason. Stacked sensors perform more poor than their non stacked counterparts in regard to dynamic range
@@Yupthereitism
Stacked sensors have a tradeoff to be sure, but they're great for silent shutters due to their increased resistance to banding and faster autofocus in addition to their usefulness for fast action. There's a reason why all the flagships of the big three (Canon, Sony, Nikon) use stacked sensors.
That said, you're right about the tradeoff regarding dynamic range. Sometimes even in my professional work I'll use a camera with a non-stacked sensor just because it's the best one for the job.
Gotta say that when announcement day comes and there's 20 TH-camrs 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!
He don’t miss and Peter too
Not for technical specs though
Same here. Jared Polin will forever remain my goto and favorite photographer that does YT
He could also be biased so just because you skip out other review videos doesn’t mean Jared will be correct at everything he says
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.
Word. Hopefully the R7mkii also is built to take a friggin battery grip. Such a strange oversight by Canon.
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!
That's actually a great idea for this mode! Wonder how fast on the fly you can add a face 🤔
Face priority will also be useful for soccer moms who want their own kid to be in focus.
Is it really? How well does it work? You had recorded faces priority AF feature on Sony for about 10 years, doesnt seem like anyone would concider it useful or noteworthy option...
You have it on R5 I
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
I really do appreciate Jared's straight to the point writing style
Now it´s so easy to stick with my R5 Mark I til eternity.
Love the larger viewfinder
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
11:36
Pause
😂
I came here for this comment hahahaha
feels to me like the OG R5 was the real step forward. this seems like an incremental upgrade
Because it is. They're taking a page out of intel with the incremental crap & charging a heafty premium
@@RandomGuy-qn2fryeah this is true and the other part is there is just literally no where to go anymore. They outdid themselves with the R5 mark I. It had the image quality of Sony’s A1 and Nikons Z9 and could keep up with those 2 cameras for a fraction of the cost. Now they don’t know what to do.
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.
yes just preordered the R5 for Sports as well. eventually I will buy the R1 may in a year or when the upgraded version comes out
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
Here after the official announcement. I knew you had them.
Lmao facts. All the "I don't have ones" were hilarious
“I love balls!” 😂 Still waiting Canon R Mark II 30MP…
@@zamanvou this is not a camera being made.. keep dreaming lol
r6 mkII
@@simonmaduxx6777 Yes…Only in my dreams…🤷🏼
It’ll also get an „all new“ 24MP sensor 🤡
EOS 5Dmark 5 - that's a key
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.
I have all the frames in there as well.
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
I don't think you will miss what you never had. I went from an EOS R to the R5 and loved it. Still do.
Jeder denkt er hat alles richtig gemacht und die anderen haben keine Ahnung! Wer solche Kommentare abgibt obwohl er die Mark II nie in den Händen hielt kann nicht verlangen Ernst genommen zu werden!
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 wished that you can shoot smaller Raw-Files, switching from 45mp to 30 / 24 / 16 mp for example to get much smaller RawFiles for not so important shoots where you dont need that much resolution. And more crop functions, not only 1.6 crop but 1.3 and 2.0 crop, too, to simulate more lenses when you are limited.
I’d rather spend a lot less on an R5 to be honest. The stacked sensor is nice on the mark II but everything else seems like an iteration rather than some groundbreaking new improvement.
Exactly! And with the R5 mark I. You can use the screen as a touchscreen and move the focus point quickly (Just not that quickly for sports) so for me, it’s not an improvement. When I shot sports, it was the X-Games and U. S. Burton open winter events. You’re typically only shooting 1 person at a time anyway. And for basketball, the R5 still does a great job this one just does better.
Edit: oh and for the stacked sensor that doesn’t matter if you’re shooting mechanically. The R5 mark ii basically beats the Sony A1 and Nikon Z9. The only thing those 2 cameras can pretty much do is match what canon did. Anything more is way too excessive.
The mki is overkill for almost everyone that doesn't have one already, and still so for about half of those that do. The stacked sensor and ai af are really all I'm looking at in the mkii, and while they'd be cool to have for now I'm waiting for price drops.
@@kevindiaz3459 right on the money. I may upgrade eventually to the mkii but I’ll wait until it comes way down in price. I love my mki too much to part ways with it yet.
Hi Jared, I just wanna add a "small" thing: the R5ii 4k60p oversampled is only available in RAW and no other format. So basically it's useless.
Normal 4k60p will be pixel binned or skipped... quite disappointing for the price, and this shows the clear intention of the camera manufacturer of removing a feature that a stacked sensor camera would easily be able to offer.
Drop the SD card slot already. Asymmetrical card slots is a disease on these super capable cameras. Give us CFE-B+internal SSD already.
That 29:59 recording limit is so arbitrary. They should simply now turn it on via Firmware update for the R5. The same for those new menus. It would require barely any re-work on Canon's part.
Still need a cooling grip to go to……wow only 2 massive hours.
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!!
Don't forget to sell your R if you don't use it :) Still a great camera for many uses that could make someone happy :D
I got the r6 and a year later the r5. The only thing i miss is the blackout free evf. I dont notice it that much in wildlife (BIF) but more so in airshows when i follow a plane in. I notice to get a tendency to overcompensate. But… thats something i can compensate with training at least a bit so ye, for 4200 im not gonna upgrade. However this doesnt mean the r5mkii is bad, it shows how good of a camera the R5 is.
This is not so different to the z8, I was expecting more, 18 months later
Clog2 is so much better than Nlog.... And those AI software is handy for stillls
Don't kid yourself, you'll stick to Nikon no matter what other companies offer.
@@shang-hsienyang1284 that doesnt mean we want to see worse cameras from other manufacturers. We love good cameras overall ;)
@@zegzbrutalI shoot Nikon and I agree with this statement
@@shang-hsienyang1284basically
A worthy upgrade to the OG R6/R5, I have occasionally wished for more megapixels when using my R6 but not enough to get the R5 - now that it’s BSI sensor it’s worth it
The R5 Mark ii is a massive video upgrade, not so much on the photo side apart from the stacked sensor and improved dynamic range.
and shooting speeed and read out speed. huge update there.
@@froknowsphoto I can see that being important and a good upgrade for sports shooters like yourself Jared. Sorry looking from a portrait shooter not so important.
@@froknowsphotoThe AI Focus tracking is absolutely amazing, maybe even game changing?
Mark II features that are significant to me using R5:
Stacked CMOS
1/32000 shutter
Eye-controlled AF
Pre-capture
30 fps
Removed "Lock" button means 1 less customizable button
New battery
Some other features in Sony/Nikon that is not in R5 and maybe R5 Mark II:
M mode 900s shutter
Exposure Compensation +- 5EV
Shutter sound during electronic shutter
5s self timer
Instant shutter close on power off
I think all 4 are just simple software features. Damn it Canon what are you doing!!
As an R5c owner, this camera getting 4k120 w/ audio, and c log2 is pissing me off. The new battery looks like something I need to grab though to see how much difference it makes in my r5c
Is a high chance that your camera will not even use that battery to its potential and treat it like a e6h
9:25 that is the flex of the shaft.
@@peterbrown818 🤣. I’ll type it slower for you next time so you can keep up.
His golf analysis is pitiful. The point of that shot is at the transition between swinging back and starting to swing forward, the club is almost still. He needs to shoot a golfer hitting driver and show the 5 or so images starting maybe 1 frame before hitting the ball and moving to the 4 frames after. That will show how the readout is and is where many action oriented golf shots are taken. Both the shaft and ball will likely show artifacts of rolling shutter.
Does water gets into those vents?
The vent goes through the body to improve heat transfer. It doesn't go into the body where the electronic components are. It has no effect on weather sealing.
If you want a water-cooled camera, then sure, feel free to have water flow through the vents. But if you're working in such extreme conditions, a loss of feed will cause a shut down right quick.
NGL I was hoping the R5 Mk2 would be around $3500
The Mark I debuted at $3,899 just FYI.
How the r5 mark 1 was $4200!
@@keeganflahive1604 dare to dream brah 🤣
@@LukeSchaeferFilmsyup. After tax. I bought the battery grip and the adapter with it so it was expensive. But meh. Still worth it. This upgrade isn’t worth it for my style of photography. lol.
One of advantage the older cameras will be on sale if meet your needs and budget.
Liked this preview much better than the Petapixel podcast. All they did was complain, super negative and mostly because of the venue and how it was structured. Sure they have the right to be annoyed but my lord, was like listening to my wife complain in the car during a long drive.
The Fro always gives you ALL the info not just the talking points. 🐐
LG and Samsung make the panels for Sony tvs, maybe they should do the same with their camera screens.
экраны у Sony плохие, хуже чем у Canon!
Looks like camera development reached its end. There is not much improvement at all.
Now we go backwards with resolution also!
I can't believe they didn't include 8K oversampled 4K 60p
I'm extremely disappointed in Canon.
STILL ONLY oversampled 4K30p. The R5C offered 8K oversampled 4K at 60fps and so does the Nikon Z8. Canon didn't even match their own R5C...
Is is me or camera specs don't impress anymore?
No its just that the specs are not interesting for most people. If they could do computational dynamic range and noise reduction like a smart phone THAT would be a cool feature, or other such things that most people would have benefit of. Faster shooting and a bit better auto focus is not really big news for most people as that part is already good enough. Also over 100 MP images are not really needed for most people. I have had that feature on my Panasonic G9II and i have used it 0 times. But well its great then i will buy the R5 now and not really feel like i am missing out on much :)
Its true. For Canon R5 owners is nothing exciting besides EVF bigger and brighter. Most of the new features are software updates.
Same here.
Specs via copy and past firmware lines of code. Hardware has always been more important to me. About time Canon rolled out those stacked sensors they've been sitting on. Now maybe eventually cameras will get onboard memory storage. OLEDs. Other than the micro OLED EVF
@@davidadsfasdf806Actually no. The stacked sensor and processor far outweigh the few lines of copied code in my opinion. The firmware can upgraded as long as the hardware can support. Now with active cooling and a stacked sensor the R5 II will have tons of options that the R5 will never be able to support.
I would imagine the bulk of R5 people are a hobbyist like me. This is the 1st time i don't feel compelled upgrade to the latest and greatest. If the files are super close then I'm good. Personally i think the R5 will hold its value due to lack of supply from people upgrading. Just a feeling.
$2500 firm
haha, I think what that video taught me is that I haven't upgraded my R5 firmware in way too long...
Nikon z6 3 kinda a better buy
LOL
Not for people with Canon lenses. Same as I will stick to my Z8 and Z9 since I can’t connect my 600 TC, 600 PF, and 800 on the Canon.
Als ich gehört habe, das sich der Dynamikumfang im Vergleich zur Z6 II verschlechtert hat, kann ich über solche Kommentare nur müde lächeln. Außerdem hat es keinen vollwertigen Stacked Sensor. Also nichts halbes und nichts ganzes! Ich habe Rezensionen gesehen, da haben Z6 III Käufer die Kamera wieder zurückgesendet! Auch der hohe Preis wurde des öfteren bemängelt!
At 17:10 it sounded like you were about to say, "Get a Well's Weirdo book!" haha!
that upscaling seems so odd, it's not going to get more detail unlike the pixel shift
The R1 is disappointing
R5ll the same
@@lesnayalesichkasaid the sony fan who will not ever use a canon hahaha stick with ur sony and the ugly images... but dont let me see it... it hurts my eyes
@@mbismbismb I shot my own R5 and Lumix. Have a Sony HD camcorders years ago and they wasn't the best also
R3 mk 2 is all I see it as. It’s the same resolution. Same video specs basically, 6k/60, 4k/120. Barely a bump in fps for photos.
Can't wait to see the "Where's Waldo Test Video", when you actually get the R1 or R5 Mark II!!!
the only good thing about this new Mk2 is the features they added to the video recording. but the price well, it is another story !! I will keep my Mk1
And nobody invited the Northrups? 😂
Yeah they always comment in their videos about how they don’t get invited to anything anymore so I’m expecting them to say that in the next video when they finally get one of these. 😂
Makes you think they might be the least bias
No one likes them...too busy being swingers....so uhhhh...no thanks....companies not a fan of cameras coming back with who knows what on them....
Think about the face priority mode as a wedding photographer. You set the bride and groom as priority now during reception cándida the bride and/groom is always the focus point. Good and bad depending but definitely interesting
R5 is the one we have been waiting for, your fan from South Africa
The face priority mode sounds like an ideal function for a wedding photographer who wants to ensure that the bride's face is always in focus.
I'm also wondering how the weather sealing works with those vents
how are smartphones sealed? same here
As I replied above, "The vent goes through the body to improve heat transfer. It doesn't go into the body where the electronic components are. It has no effect on weather sealing".
@@BW_Maher thank you
People priority is awesome for weddings. Take your couple first and it will always focus on them.
Thank Jared for this DETAILED review of Canon R5 II. It’s SAD that these days camera manufacturers justify their price increase by adding flashy but IMPRACTICAL features like upscaling jpg files to 180 megapixels! Why don’t Sony and Canon add ANTI THEFT feature & 32 BIT FLOAT internal audio recording to their cameras? That will help the majority of camera users who are solo shooters. Panasonic LUMIX GH7 already has 32 bit float. All the pros know audio is worth 50% of their videos. If the audio is bad, then the video is useless.
I'm a Landscapes shooter primarily so although the stacked sensor appeals I think I'll be keeping my R5 and wait for the Mk iii😁
We definitely need a R5C mkii with ZERO overheating!
This Is Nikon Z8 in a Body canon???
Pretty much lol
not really, the auto focus is a billion times more superior, it shoots RAW at 30 FPS and pre shoots RAW, nikon doesn't and never will.
@@froknowsphotoI am curious about the ‘never will’ part. How do u know?
@@iemboyshostel He is a canon fanboy! Cameras are just cameras and in real world Z8 will be enough for most people unless you’re chasing balls
@@froknowsphoto
Autofocus is 1-2% better in some situations and 1-2% worse in other. The slower readout speed is a disadvantage for fast tracking. ISO and DR performance is likely worse too.
Right on Jared, always on top of it with the camera reviews…thank you
"And i love balls" -Jared polin, 2024

Is it just me or is the R7 really impressive to shoot at 30fps electronic raw at 32.5 mp for 1200 usd?
Apples to oranges. R7 is Not stacked with a very slow readout so shooting anything slightly fast will resort in serious rolling shutter. Most users stick to the 15fps mechanical because of this
@@stepheneckert4006 yea ofc, i know, i have it..but still
AF is no where near the R6M2 or these new R1s and R5s!
@@ldesilva not rlly, af works amazing with mine
@@sicr626 The R6M2 has the same AF as R3. Maybe you got a limited edition R6 :)
It's great to see all the new AI autofocus features, this effectively marks the point where Canon has jumped the hurdle and re-taken leadership in the era of on-sensor autofocus.
So no oversampled 4K60? WTF
REALLY HOPE A FIRMWARE UPDATE ADDS THAT
Jared, did they add any shutter 'sound' to the electronic shutter? Anything to make the rapid rate obvious; flashing frame, etc? Great preview, thanks!
Get ya eyes checked
Let’s be honest when you decide to play in the camera world and want the latest and greatest that means you agree to sale out for 1/4 of the original price it is what it is.
You can opt out at any time.
Me I’m getting the new R1 and just put it as a write off.
I love Cropping! Thanks for the video! Much love!
Don't lie Fro, we know you crop, we've seen you in a Crop Top 🤣🤣🤣
R5 Mk 2 is Definitely the New Flagship Camera Wow🫡
My orig R6 overheated the other day when it was really hot out and I could not get it to work since. I had to set it in to Canon for repair
Waldo mode sounds amazing especially for like weddings while the bride & groom are on the dance floor & its very chaotic
Can’t wait to upgrade to this - my R5 has condensation in the viewfinder from being out on the rain shooting so much!! I’m hoping the new viewfinder will fair better.
I picked up the Fx3 for video, the R5 is now for photos and yet it's still gets hot not to mention large video files are corrupt once transferred. Great video!
The R5mII is much more desirable than the R1, imo. Much better value. I will get one eventually because I really want the better auto focus for certain situations. Still happy with my R6mII most of the time and I will keep that one as a side cam, but if I had to name one thing that I'm only satisfied with 85% of the time it would be the af. Being able to just look at details in order to focus on them sounds like a dream come true.
Please do a head to head with the R5 & R5 MK2 over heat issue in video mode.
Don't forget the true high iso test is for slowish shutter speeds 1/40th - 1/160th.
Wedding photographers are going to buy these like crazy. Face priority on the bride, groom… Allows the photographer to focus their attention on framing the scene while the camera gets the most important faces tack sharp.
22:22, GoPro nailed this.
In the olden days, flagships were always fast, low-res bodies. Look at the Nikon D4. The D800 was the slower high-res counterpart to that. I guess Canon is continuing that trend. Even if 40fps RAW isn’t that much, it still beats the 45-50MP bodies. For Nikon, I think they switched to a high-res flagship because the market would otherwise be too small.
Nice! Basically like the Z8 but in a lighter package, with a tally, and full HDMI, waveforms too, and some AI stuff probably as useful as the iPhone's. And some autofocus revisions.
But also with some specs lower than the A1, such as the worse EVF, but fortunately better than the mediocre one (for the range level) of the Z8. Pre-capture is nice, though JPG only, and just half a sec, not a full sec max?
How off-centered the mount hole looks on the R1.
Nikon is made in China while Canon is made in Japan. 😊
The Z8 EVF is lower resolution but much brighter. It also has a faster stacked sensor for the shutter less design. For video we will need to wait for tests on the rolling shutter (video on stacked sensors often uses a slower readout, I believe the DRAM is disable for heat issues.)
@@alphaandomega2709My RF 200-800 lens was made in Taiwan. I'm hoping that the camera is still made in Japan.
@alphaandomega2709 the z8 is made in Thailand.
The Z8 has a full HDMI, waveforms and a much faster readout rate allowing for the sensor shield, which is a huge advantage.
R5ii looks amazing. If this had been launch (or the R5) in 2017, then I probably would not have switched to Sony & ended my long run on Canon gear which dates back to the start of the Eos system circa 1987.
the R5M2 sounds really great and I would get it if they would have added 2xCF Express card slots, because with the current setup I can never shoot redundant.
Thanks for the review this helps me with my decision to sell now all my canon gear and focus on my Sony gear, the A1 and A9III.
Cheers and greetings from Switzerland
Alex
Could Canon pitch the R5II against the Z9? It seems like they could (and should?)
They should pitch it against the Z8 which is closer in physical size. The MKii seems to beat out the Z8 in terms of spec and features to my knowledge.
That stacked sensor is the biggest sell for me, so the price can’t be justified for me just yet. I’ll wait till I wear out my R5 Mark I it’s still so awesome.
very nice QOL improvements though!
The R5 II - The queen that never was.
i just got the nikon z6 iii but this looks very nice also. good job canon
Great job Jared! Thanks! I know this is a limited first take, but what I really want to know is if the stacked sensor will produce better photos! Larger tonal range? Better low light performance? A little better performance with the electronic shutter is fine, but if I'm going to upgrade, I need to know that this takes better photos. I would have loved a monitor with higher resolution.
Dude, dont you realize that face priority is INSANELY USEFUL for weddings?! OMG that's fantastic!
Eye control from the old SLR's. Awesome.
I have a EOS 5 I think it is with that feature. I have not used it since I bought a 7D so don't know if it still works.
@@petercreagh8797The eye control in my EOS 5s never worked, not reliably enough to bother using it
The image size provides some nice possibilities, but I still wonder about the overheating for video. For the occasional short video the overheating probably won't be a factor, but...
I still believe that if you are shooting stills, get a camera. If you are shooting a lot of video, buy a video camera that has robust video and audio capabilities.
I'm impressed with the R5 MkII enough to purchase one (at some point). I'm a pro and have done splendidly with the R6 MkI and MkII. They have the right features (especially the MkII) giving me more budget headroom for quality RF glass. I'm thinking of selling my MkI in the fall (can anyone say "Black Friday!"?), the proceeds of which will go toward the R5MkII (or Hasselblad X2D ....longshot). Admittedly, I was tempted to take advantage of the deals offered on the Mk1. I'm glad I held off. Kudos to Canon for adding potentially useful features to their camera bodies instead of fighting the megapixel war.
BTW, where's all the new glass that was supposed to accompany the launch of the two new cameras????
All good until the price tag. It should have been 3999..especially when Z8 is out and some barely used Z8s go for 2900 sometimes 😂
I know you're not comparing used prices to retail right... I know you're smarter than that.. right 😮
Awesome video man. The R5 mark II is the real Flagship. 30 fps 14 bit raw with eye controlled AF. All Canon had to do was put a bigger buffer in it.
If you haven't seen Vanessa Joy's video yet, it looks like Canon may have already addressed some of the issues you talked about. She showed being able to select exact fps for stills not just the set increments you had available.
The screen we showed is the mode she's in. We were just showing the info screen in that mode which showcases the actual framerates you can be in. Notice in her video it goes from 5 to 7.5 to 10fps. You can't necessarily dial in "exactly" any framerate. It's predetermined with set increments like we showcased and mentioned in this video.
I just went back and checked and you are right it does jump. Hopefully this and the other little oddities will be fixed by the time they ship.
It's perhaps the best AF for sports or people photography ... but is it also the best AF for wildlife photography? I find it rather presumptuous to talk about "the best autofocus", although the very sophisticated wildlife autofocus has not even been tested yet.
I'm really curious to see how the AF is upgraded from the original R5 for wildlife. the following a face is great for those that shoot people - but I'd love to know how the 2 is better for wildlife as far as AF
Why isn't there 6K 30P and 60P Options?? 🙄
Canon R5 ii already supports 8K 60P at maximum Frame Rate 😅
6K option would be sweet between Large Files Size and Slightly Lower Quality than 8K.
What about the video wobble? Improved?
Curious about the same. Peter McKinnon said it’s pretty much solved so idk
@@doktorr23 Cool, wait to see more detailed information
