The camera's continuous shooting speed has also been improved, now reaching up to 20 frames per second in silent mode, making it an exceptional choice for capturing fast-paced action.


One of the most notable advancements is the camera's enhanced video capabilities, with the ability to record 8K video at up to 30 frames per second, a significant step up from the 8K at 25 fps offered by the EOS R5.  


Another key difference between the two models is the EOS R5 Mark II's improved thermal management system. This feature addresses one of the main concerns raised about the original EOS R5, which was prone to overheating during extended video recording sessions. The Mark II model incorporates enhanced cooling mechanisms, allowing you to record for longer periods without interruption, a crucial advantage for professional videographers and filmmakers.

 Canon EOS R5 Mark II Camera

Canon has officially unveiled much anticipated successor to the extremely successful Canon EOS R5At the heart of the Canon EOS R5 Mark II lies a remarkable 45-megapixel sensor, boasting a stacked, back-illuminated design that sets it apart from its predecessor. This innovative sensor architecture, coupled with Canon's latest DIGIC Accelerator image processor, unlocks a level of performance that redefines the capabilities of a mirrorless camera.

The stacked sensor design allows for faster readout speeds, which directly benefits the camera's burst shooting capabilities, video recording options, and electronic shutter performance. By pairing the high-resolution sensor with the powerful DIGIC Accelerator, the Canon EOS R5 Mark II can capture stunning images at an impressive 30 frames per second, as well as record 8K60p raw video – a feat that showcases the camera's remarkable versatility and processing prowess.


The Canon EOS R5 Mark II's autofocus system has received a significant upgrade, leveraging the advancements in deep learning technology to deliver enhanced subject recognition and tracking. The camera's Dual Pixel Intelligence AF system now incorporates deep learning datasets, enabling it to accurately identify and lock onto a wide range of subjects, including people, animals, and even specific sports-related elements like balls.

One of the standout features is the improved Eye Control Focus, which was first introduced in the Canon EOS R3. The R5 Mark II boasts newly developed camera optics and a revised line-of-sight detection algorithm, allowing the system to nearly double the detection frame rate. 


The Canon EOS R5 Mark II's video performance is nothing short of impressive, offering a comprehensive suite of features that cater to the needs of multimedia professionals. The camera can capture 8K60p raw video, providing filmmakers with unparalleled image quality and flexibility in post-production. Additionally, the R5 Mark II offers a range of 4K recording options, including oversampled 4K30p and high-speed 4K120p modes, delivering exceptional image quality and creative possibilities.


One of the key concerns with the original Canon EOS R5 was the potential for overheating during extended video recording sessions. The R5 Mark II addresses this issue with the introduction of a dedicated cooling grip accessory, which features a built-in fan to help dissipate heat and extend the camera's video recording capabilities.


One of the key advantages of the R5 Mark II's sensor is its ability to capture 30 frames per second in electronic shutter mode, a feature that will be particularly useful for sports and action photography. Additionally, the camera's pre-burst mode, which records a half-second of footage before the shutter is pressed, helps ensure that the decisive moment is never missed.


Canon has long been renowned for its exceptional camera ergonomics, and the EOS R5 Mark II continues this tradition. The camera features a fully articulating 2.1-million-dot touchscreen LCD, providing versatile framing options and intuitive control. The electronic viewfinder, borrowed from the flagship Canon EOS R3, offers a high-resolution 5.76-million-dot display with impressive magnification and brightness.


The Canon EOS R5 Mark II is equipped with a dual card slot configuration, offering one CFexpress Type-B slot and one UHS-II SD card slot. This versatile setup allows users to take advantage of the speed and capacity of CFexpress media for high-resolution, high-frame-rate capture, while also providing the flexibility of using readily available SD cards for backup or overflow storage. Regarding battery life, the R5 Mark II introduces a new LP-E6P battery, which provides a slight increase in power output compared to the older LP-E6N and LP-E6NH batteries.
