Canon EOS R5 Mark II Images & Specifications

[DootsHK]

This Mark II upgrade seems pretty solid! It incorporates many features and improvements Canon has released over the past four years, all packed into the R5 body. I definitely need one! Haha. It may not be as groundbreaking as the original R5, but it's promising enough for me to want one.

Has anyone seen a picture of the back of the camera yet?

On the ergonomic side, I'm pleased to see the on/off button on the right side. Hopefully, it will be easily reachable with the thumb.

However, there's no mention of illuminated buttons or GPS. I was secretly hoping for these "features", lol. It’s a small detail, I know, but they were important to me. Anyway, it seems like an exciting upgrade! : )

I haven't tried the R3 yet. How does the EVF compare to the R5's?

Would CFexpress 4.0 cards work?

„Capture video and stills simultaneously with no interruption“

So I can shoot RAW stills while recording an oversampled 4K60p (4KHQ) video? Did I really understand this correctly? Will the shutter speed for the RAW still be the same as the shutter speed of the video recording?

EDIT: „Recording image type: JPEG only“

I'm worried about the low light performance. My current R5 struggles quite a bit when it gets dark, is there any significant improvement?

Well, focusing down to - 7.5 EV (very impressive), and normally the noise performance should be better too.

4k raw video and better battery...take my money.

 

[f2_productions]

Anything about the sync-speed in full-ES or the ability to use flash at all?

1/250 in es if i am correct, 1/200 in ms mode. Yeah, flas is totally useable

Would CFexpress 4.0 cards work?

Of course, cfexpress is compatible in both ways, you can use a 4.0 card in 3.0 camera in vice versa.

From these specs, the R5II looks to be a great camera, noteworthy updates and upgrades over the R5, which is already a powerful camera.

Improvements in AF, IS, speed, potential boost in image quality and enhancements in video usability will make this camera one many photographers & videographers will consider.

I agree the wording in the title about the memory slots is ambiguous: "Dual Card Slots for CFexpress** and UHS-II SD Memory Cards***"

I'm looking forward to trying a R5II here in Australia soon. Well done Canon.

Only complaint I have is no 32 bit float and new style lcd that moves all different directions. Really thought we would be there by now.

A little worried about the cinema menu for video too. I personally need instant switching.

No mention about blackout free when shooting high burst rate...

Also if I read it right that when we in Video recording Canon allow us to take still photos too but in JPEG only?

Also no mention about pre-capture and no CFe B V4 support then ... dang!

"Pre-continuous shooting is now possible in electronic shutter mode, when the shutter is pressed halfway the camera begins capturing images, and when fully pressed, the previous ½-second of images are written to the memory card."

...from the piece.

 

[JonasGillmann]

4K at up to 120 frames per second with sound and 8K. Any of the “Fine” options record oversampled video, for even greater sharpness and detail.

So do all recording frame rates in all resolutions have a „Fine“ option for oversampled video?
Because it doesn’t specify that!

Will 4K 120p be oversampled?

I hope the image quality improves with the electronic shutter. It's so great to shoot with the electronic, but banding and artifacts were a deal breaker on the R5 for me. I'm really hoping the new sensor will address these issues.

50 minutes until the Canon event! yaay!

Good point.

Ethernet?!

Love it that I will be able to shoot stills and video simultaneously. Waiting to read more about it.

“can capture an incredible amount of images through its super high-speed CFexpress dual card slots. Plus a UHS-II SD*** card slot”

That reads as if there are three slots.

4k raw video and better battery...take my money.

4k RAW is just awesome

No. R5ii and R1 shares the same

where do you read that? The article states: Focus Method: Dual Pixel CMOS AF
