Thanks Gordon!. Great preview. As far as I can tell this update addresses pretty much every complaint I've had with my R5 over the last four years. That being said, I'd feel a little odd giving up my R5 at this point. Nothing is perfect, the R5 is still a great camera and despite 4 years of steady use it shows almost no sign of wear. In fact, it performs far better today with current firmware than it did when I bought it. Great release but thankfully I'm not feeling any pressure to be an early adopter. The key to thriving in Canon's system is buying mid-cycle. For those that are in the market, It seems like a superb release. As it should be at that price.

The EOS 3 film camera was my first autofocus camera, and I learned to use the eye-controlled focus well, even with glasses. It worked better in some situations than others, so you learned not to use it in some settings. Because it was my first AF camera, and I got used to AF working that way, I have always missed it. I did buy the R5 last year and thought that it would be my last camera (in my late 60's) UNLESS they came out with a version that had eye-controlled focus. Well... let's say I was among the first to pre-order the R5 MK II. And to have increased dynamic range along with it, and improved AF generally. I was more than content with the R5 and large prints from it (on a Canon Pro-2600). I am really looking forward the the MK II.

Though many were unfortunate enough to have to deal with the poorly designed hot shoe on the R5, that big design flaw is rarely mentioned if not searching specifically for it. It’s certainly never mentioned in reviews. I shoot video and take photos and many times I need to use on camera flash. Thankfully I had paid for extra coverage and was able to send my camera in for the quick repair, but others spent hundreds of dollars to get theirs fixed when it shouldn’t have been a problem in ten first place. I hope and assume that the updated hot shoe isn’t screwed into place from the inside of the camera this time! If you’re unaware, many of us dealt with the flash becoming loose in the shoe and not making proper contact. In the middle of an all-day shoot I discovered I had to use one hand to push the flash forward when taking photos so as to have proper contact. Thanks for the great review! I finally subscribed.

Unfortunately, you have to take the camera apart to tighten them back up.

On paper looks like a good progression. I would've said that feature wise, it's a nice evolution. In practice, where I am, Canon wants 23% more money for it than for the R5 - that is a substantial price difference! Also I do not understand the presence of jpeg upscaling instead of pixel shifting of raw images in this model. Hi-res camera is bought for high resolution image sensor with the intention of pixel peeping every pixel shift - not a mobile phone jpeg computation. In R1 this feature had somewhat more validity where everything is about speed of transfer to the press. But here??

This sure sounds like an exciting camera, personally for me the same as the 5D Mark II back in the day, although on a whole different level considering the tech available today.

I have always said that the OEM batteries from Canon outperformed any other brand that I had tried and I had tried 2 other third-party brands. They were failures… I shoot Airshows so with High-speed jets, I could rip off 4000 shots easily. My batteries still showed 25% left. 🤙

So it has dual cards, but it really doesn't as they are different. It has a flip out screen for KZitemrs ( who almost all use Sony ) but not a tilt screen that photographers like. Sony A7RV really is a professional camera, costs less, has a proper screen for photographers and video, and most importantly, has two card slots of the same speed. Not withstanding a vast lens range both oem and third-party, lower cost and more pixel sensor. I think it is great that Canon users are happy, but I can't see a single reason to buy it over the A7RV.

Great video Gordon. I'm still amazed that after all this time Canon still can't quite match Sony (and Nikon) on read out speeds and frame rates. I get that it beats them in a few categories but the A1 which is many years old at this point still has better readouts. I'm not a Nikon expert but I think the Z9 does too. The R1 is close but it only does it with 24mp. I would have considered switching back if I knew the readouts would not affect me. I can shoot plane propellers and hummingbirds now with no rolling shutter electronically. I don't trust this yet. I'll wait for your full review where I hope you can do some good testing of it. By then Sony may have given me pre-capture on my A1? LOL I doubt it.

Gordon or any other R5 owners please comment. From what you have seen so far is the differnce in price between M1 and M2 worth it for an amateur photographer, portraits, landscape, candid, and equestrian photography no videography. Is the sensor and AF changes really worth £1500 extra at the current prices?

If you use the electronic shutter, yes, but if you use the mechanical shutter mostly, there's less benefits

Hey Gordon, thanks for the review, great as usual 😃 Do you know if mark ii now delivers full power to the focus motors on the RF 600mm f4 please? I believe you said it was limited on the original R5. You referred to it as dual power supply. Thank you 😃

I see no mention of focus breathing compensation. That's a shame, because Canon lenses breathe a lot. I was also hoping for a 3-axis like the A7RV. Nonetheless, the R5 II is a solid upgrade over the R5 but at $4300 I'm going to wait a while.

They did mention breathing compensation in the presentation, but I didn't get to test it, so didn't mention it here yet. Not sure if it's R1, R5II or both.

its oversampled from 8k, any camera yet cant oversampled from 8k to 4k 120p its alot of data. Oryginal R5 4k 120p its amazing so not a big deal
@cameralabs

Correct, the oversampled 4k Fine mode is only up to 30p. I think this is because it comes from 8k which is also only up to 30p in the non-RAW mode.

I really considered switching to Z8. But its is heavy and as I perceive not that great compared with dual pixel AF. And the cost of changing system is high =_=. If Nikon share the same lens mount standard as Sony. I will definitely go XD.

Hi Gordon, in your review test, could you test at what point does the people registration fail? For example: • sunglasses on vs off between registered and when shooting • how close and clear of a face does the registration need? Does it work well if it’s only a side view? If it’s an wider angle shot? • does registration still work well across days? i.e. If it’s registered once, will it continue to successfully detect the same person over time? Additionally, will it detect well if say the subject changes their makeup or attire/costume? Thank you! 15:15 Also, would like to think this feature came about in part from feedback submitted personally on the R5! Had suggested for there to be an in camera counter check to verify if images captured are indeed in focus as the R5 had an issue where the subject AF box was on the subject but the subject in the actual image was OOF. Very frustrating especially on fast paced shooting days. The feature gives users at least a heads up check to try again to make sure they get the shot before walking away/wrapping. If indeed the feature came from the feedback, it’s good to see Canon listening to direct user feedback and actually doing something about it

Pity we’re being ripped off at £ 4499. The US it’s the same price as the R5 at launch at $ 4299. Even adding say 10.25% sales tax in LA at $ 4740 or converted to Sterling £ that’s £ 3792 or £ 707 less that the UK price.

In R5 (Mark 1), if you are in a zone auto focus mode and start to track a subject, once the subject moves out of the zone, it stops tracking it. Does this still happen in the R5 mark II? I think I saw briefly in the clip that you had a center auto focus zone, it focused on the face of a basketball player and kept tracking him once he moved outside of the center zone (and R5II switched to full frame auto focus). If that is the case, that's a huge improvement!
@cameralabs
Ай бұрын
I think once it starts to track with the shutter half or fully pressed, it'll follow across the whole frame. The zone part only seems to affect what subjects are initially recognised BEFORE you half press. At least that's my experience as I recall.

I;m pretty sure RAW video is either in Canon's own format on the CFE card, or in proRes externally only. No redundancy.
