Canon EOS R5 Mark II

The Canon EOS R5 Mark II is Canon's most accomplished all-round professional camera. A 45MP stacked BSI sensor brings read-out speeds fast enough for 8K/60p video and 30fps RAW bursts with no rolling shutter concerns. Canon's neural network AF processor represents a substantial leap over Dual Pixel CMOS AF II: subject recognition is faster, more reliable in edge cases, and more accurately identifies complex scenarios across wildlife, sports, and portraiture. The pre-burst recording feature begins storing frames before the shutter is pressed, reducing the risk of missing critical moments. The R5 II is equally credible as a stills camera and a video production tool — an achievement the original R5 could not quite claim due to overheating limitations. The combination of resolution, speed, and AF sophistication makes it one of the finest all-round professional cameras on the market.

GearFrame's Take

The most complete hybrid camera Canon has ever made — 45MP stacked BSI, 30fps burst, 8K/60p RAW, and Canon's legendary Dual Pixel AF in one body.
