Canon Patent Application: Telephoto Macro Lenses

I haven't taken it in yet how different the R5 and the R5ii ergonomics is. Are they similar enough to keep the R5 as the second body?

The biggest difference is that the on/off switch moved to the other side, the other buttons look the same.

I cope with that with the R7 vs R5. Thanks Koen.

I'm guessing that they are probably similar enough to keep the R5 as a 2nd body. But I also think that they have their differences, including a redesigned (how much I'm not sure of) menu system, so that I would much prefer to not have to remember how to work each one and not get frustrated switching back and forth all the time. And enjoying new (or slightly improved) abilities is a benefit. I happen to be able to afford the luxury of upgrading the R5 as well as getting the R5 II, and as I'm only a few years away from turning 70 it seems more appropriate to enjoy my remaining good (enough) years as much as I can while I still have some.

Problem with you youngsters is you don't have the flexibility of us real oldies.
