Canon EOS R5 Mark II Images & Specifications

I\'m worried about the low light performance. My current R5 struggles quite a bit when it gets dark, is there any significant improvement?
I would agree on the R5, lets hope noise is controlled in this new sensor, but it also looks like the suggestion that DR was to also be increased is not true, nor any mention of illuminated back buttons, Currently does not look offer any improvements for low light landscapes work.

As I suspected, it looks a bit underwhelming for landscape photography tbh, if considered as an upgrade from R5. Seems like it'll be a great step forward for sports/action/birds/wildlife, but I don't see great selling points for landscape. That is, why upgrade to R5II from R5 if you shoot landscapes primarily?

PS. It'll be even more underwhelming if there's no built-in GPS (again useful in landscape/travel photography).

Canon is doomed.

Canon should just pack it in and sell everything off to Cosina. ;)

I'm not sure - knowing your use cases outside of the sensor may be better DR (but the R5 was already good in that regard) and also the cooling you may still find useful. it could be a sum of a lot of small things that add up.

R5mk2 really seams like a bigger leap forward than the R1. It really seams like a great hybrid camera. Possibility the best hybrid camera currently. Looking forward to see what the official release will show us beside this leaked specks.

“Card 1: CFexpress memory card (Type B, CFexpress 2.0, VPG400 supported, up to 2 TB)Card 2: SDXC/SDHC/SD memory card (Compatible with UHS-II, Eye-Fi cards and MMC not supported)”

Definitely only two cards according to this. The dual talk is likely copied from the R1 and failed in editing.

No mention of dynamic range yet tho, so there's still a chance that it'll be a good upgrade if you just want it for landscape.

As an R5C owner i'm stoked at the R5II and will definitely buy one.
Clog 2, full HDMI, 4k Raw, Cinema operating system in video (if you haven't used it it's AWESOME), optional cooling grip for continuous shooting without worrying about overheating, better AF in video, better rolling shutter - i'm actually surprised Canon gave us so much. Perhaps it was Sony and Nikon pushing the limits that woke Canon up and got rid of the dreaded Canon cripple hammer!
it says cinema names not OS. You have to realize how confusing it would be for people that used canon for decades to get 2 menus out of no where. Most sills shooters don't have a cinema camera to be comfortable with it. The R5C also had a delay when switching that is terrible for people that do events and shoot video and photo back to back.

I'm slightly disappointed at it being CFe 2.0, but I hope that it's full speed 2.0, e.g. 1700MByte/s, not the 500MByte/s the R5 is limited to. Also, €4800 is more than I expected, but not 'needing' the more expensive CFe 4.0 cards cancels out the difference :)

True - but so far it doesn't look like a pre-order to me. If future tests and reviews show reasonable improvements in the image quality/DR (including that hot pixel issue), it may be a good buy in a few months once the dust settles and the price goes down a bit. E.g. Christmas discounts etc.
