Canon EOS R5 Mark II Images & Specifications
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Wait a minute.... it's not clear from the video specs.
It seems, The 4K Raw video in R5II is NOT the same 'Cinema Raw Light' as found in the R5C,C70,C400.
This 4K RAW video is the same continued from R5 canon Raw video which is very different than the one found in the Cinema Series camera. I hope I am not missing anything?
If anyone can confirm that this raw video format is the same as that in the Canon Cinema series cameras such as the R5C,C70,C400?

$6700 AUD in Australia - not preordered.
Is there a full manual anywhere? Is there GPS?
On the bright side, it looks like it may be 14-bit in ES.

There's no need for 16 bit RAW when the sensor just captures 12 bit of dynamic range. Many people seem to not understand this. If you buy a 12 inch pizza you don't need a 16 inch box. A 14 inch box will deliver the same pizza.

Yep. I just saw that too. My purchase is now very much on-hold. At AU$6k, I was onboard.
Good luck to everyone who will pre-order. This looks like a fantastic camera, just out of my price range as a hobbyist.

Use an ND filter, if you absolutely must shoot wide open f/1.2 in daylight?

WHAT? Canon did NOT include oversampled (4KHQ) at 60fps? Still only oversampled 4K30p???

"With all of the enhancements to the new EOS R5 Mark II, it requires a little more power than the previous EOS Mirrorless cameras, and therefore ships with a new, higher amperage battery, the LP-E6P.This battery is the same size and shape of previous LP batteries, but is easily distinguished from older models by featuring a white stripe and white Canon logo.This new battery can be used in older Canon mirrorless and even DSLR cameras, but will require a camera firmware update to do so."
It's interesting to hear about this new battery, I wonder which RF and DSLRs will get the firmware update to support it?

I wonder if there will be an R5C Mark II… some of those cinema features have come over but the Cinema EOS menus have not. The fact that they’re selling a cooling grip doesn’t give me hope.

If you're concerned about a lack of landscape-oriented features, what are Nikon or Sony going to give you? The play would be Fuji for digital medium format. Maybe Canon will bring the AI upscale to the R5II via firmware update and allow for 180 MP files, that would be cool for landscape.(just registered to post this after lurking around here for a year and a half waiting on this launch)
I pre-ordered, but I might cancel it. I'm not mad that it's 45MP, that it's 14 bit A/D, etc etc and so on. I'm just disappointed that it had *nothing* for wow factor. A BSI stacked sensor was the bare minimum to not get laughed out of the room (though they still pretty much achieved that with the R1). The most impressive things about the R5 Mk II are the video upgrades and the Eye AF (those are actually really solid upgrades), but given my preferred use is landscape photography, those are far less useful.
It seriously has me worried for the direction Canon is headed, and I might want to sell off my RF L lenses and head for Nikon and Sony. Seems like Canon is increasingly heading toward every camera in their lineup being varying degrees of "press camera that can work as the do-it-all camera for a YouTuber". I wish I could just get a Canon equivalent to the A7RV body, an unabashedly photo-oriented camera that is an artistic instrument, not a documentary tool.

Also why is pre-shooting only 0.5 seconds? I thought it would be based on the number of frames back, not on fixed time. Is it 0.5 s back in either 30 fps or 7 fps mode? 0.5s feels a bit too narrow.
