Canon EOS R5 Mark II Specifications
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
The R5 in the netherlands is priced today at 3749 euro's at the moment compared to 2729 euro's for the R6 mark II. How far do you think will the price drop for the R5 after the launch of the MK2? will it be at the level of the R6 mark II?

That fits with my observation that the number of new spots on my RP sensor greatly decreased after leaving the filter adapter on there for multiple weeks.

It was €2999 for a few months due to the €650 cashback during the winter promotion. If you had price alerts configured you could get if for even less during that time. I had sold my R5 a few weeks before the cashboard started and I could've bought a brand new one for less than I received for my used one!
Below is the pricegraph from the tweakers.net pricewatch, you can see the R5 gradually getting cheaper. But for the first 3 years the price didn't really drop.

This caught me by surprise too. Silent shutter means it won't close the shutter when turning it off... I wish there was a way to override it to ALWAYS close the shutter when turning it off, no matter what. But that would probably make too much sense for Canon to consider...

I'm assuming the upgrade here is the sensor readout speed, improved AI AF (I'm guessing that it's be a better Auto detect system). and an improved flippy screen and hopefully an improved EVF. If i already had a R5, I'm not sure there is enough to warrant a side grade. However for people like me who never bought a R5...it's looking like a very attractive camera.

I've got 2 of them, if you invest in expensive glass, the pictures speak for themselves.

I was looking forward to the 60MP - not because I need 60MP but because it would make the APS-C mode a usable resolution, and therefore making the 135mm a lot more versatile by programming it's side button to switch to APS-C. Not that you can't just crop in post but it would be a neat usability feature

Should be a stacked sensor if they’re eliminating the mechanical shutter. This will also allow full 14 bit in e-shutter of course.
Guessing they’ll reduce/eliminate over heating issues that impacted the R5.
Definitely going to lift the 30 minute internal record limit as they’ve done on all releases since the R5/R6 came out.
Add some of the ergonomic benefits (like adding the stills/movie switch). Rendering the R5C all but obsolete (any need for a II version anymore?)
Auto subject detect and other AF improvements.
Just a few things I’d expect off the top of my head. Too rich for my blood and way outside my use case. R6II is still perfect for me. Probably under utilized.

There is. Don’t use Silent Shutter mode (which disables everything that makes a noise). Instead, shoot in electronic shutter and turn all electronic sounds off (focus confirmation beeps, etc). Then the mechanical shutter will still close at shut down and no sounds will be made while shooting.
Save it to C1, C2, or C3 if the menu dive is a pain.

Canon having the confidence to remove the mechanical shutter would be a great sign the electronic shutter made solid progress, offering R3 or better perf level. Sounds great to me.
45MP BSI stacked, fast sensor is welcome. Good for image quality, fps, and focus stability.
Of course AI will improve a lot, at the speed it is evolving nowadays. Good for focus.
Now I'd also like evf improvements (bigger and black out free), pre-capture, and CFe 4 compatibility. Those will matter to my photo.

Well, make sure to preserve the camera you have now, then, because this is what we're going to.
I wouldn't expect any high end Canon mirrorless body to have a mechanical shutter in the future.

Well, there STILL might be a sensor cover internally.
I think I've heard of other mirrorless cameras, sans shutter, that still had a sensor cover that would pop over the sensor when you turned the camera off, etc.
It looks like a shutter basically, but it doesnt' perform as one (not fast, etc).
So, no shutter doesn't preclude having a mechanical sensor cover internal to the camera.
Just my $0.02,

Interesting, especially this last paragraph. Makes sense; I’ll reconsider my view of the usefulness of having the shutter close when changing lenses, but more specifically the shutter closing when the camera is switched off.

I hope there is an anti-dust curtain at least. It can be a cheap addition as it doesn't have to be fast and sophisticated. Nikon has such a curtain in top end cameras (called a sensor shield)
Fast electronic shutter is almost as good as a global shutter. No rolling shutter effect, no issues with shutter shock, no broken bokeh in EFSC mode.
In terms of the light being focused on the sensor while the camera is off - a shutter or curtain won't help if the lens really focuses the sunlight on the sensor. It'll burn through the curtain and will damage the sensor.
